Seriously Im flabbergasted by some of the above comments downplaying this piece of history. I really dont know how Sony or Nintendo can top this. This was absolutely amazing and Project Natal is going to be a benchmark for a lot of things. There was an MGS multiplat and a next Halo.

The only missing elements were RPGs and MMOs.


NATAL will be a glorified eyetoy, maybe 5-6 games will use it, and most of them will be minigames. the games shown were either really lame, or were not shown in any real detail to really care much about, I say Alan Wake was the best, but even it had annoying slow motion garbage

WOW! you really wasn't paying attention was you? they said more than once that ALL existing 360 games WILL also work with the new motion camera, seriously......

Actually they said it would work with all existing hardware

I just watched again but on the 360 this time and they said all existing games will work on it :)

well show the scene where they say it

Awesome, an On Demand game download service. They should have mentioned that in the conference. Get rid of MW2 or Tony Hawk or RB Beatles.

Also, I just thought of a game for Natal.

Dodgeball.
You can catch balls, pick them up, throw them, and dodge them. Dodge them via jumping, diving, ducking, whatever you want. See a ball on the ground in front of you and to the right. Walk over and pick it up. That would be cool. And no learning curve. If you can play in real life, you can play in the game. Online mode would be great.

I think there are all sorts of possibilites where you can add feet movement and arm movement. Kick boxing, karate, etc.

I hope to god they release an API for XNA with this thing.

@FKNetwork: I have a bridge in the Norh Pole for sale if you believe all the Xbox 360 games can be played with this instead of a controller.

Natal is interesting, but I can see tons of problems with this depending on lighting, etc. Of course with the virtual 3D friend thing, they are obviously going for young people that live in their mom's basement, so I guess lighting might not be much of an issue. :)

Lighting conditions do not matter with this tech.

Eh, didn't you watch the conference? The demo'd a dodgeball game.

No they did not.  Nothing like what I am describing.  That was just a person writhing around while balls knocked off of her.  I am talking about something needing precision.  Actually make the movements to catch a ball.  A ball is rolling along the ground and you have to walk over, not just side to side, and pick it up.  Then throw it at another person.  The game could read how fast you threw it and everything.  The only problem might be determining when to release the ball.  Perhaps grunt or something.
