It looked great. I am very excited to see how it turns out.
| RolStoppable said: There isn't much to say about this thing at the moment, they didn't show any games for it and the tech demos point towards NATAL being not much more than Sony's Eyetoy with voice recognizition which wasn't very useful for anything that went beyond minigame compilations. If NATAL were that great, Microsoft surely would have been able to demo at least one game for it. I mean, even Sony managed to show Warhawk when they unveiled the Sixaxis. |
This.
it won't even touch the Wii but will take away some casuals who buy Wii just for Wii Sports
it's not that huge, you can't play s.smash bros. for example using that thing!?
i'm both casual and hard core, and it seems amazing to me, but not enough to buy an Xbox360
but a virtual shooter with fighting elements, which could make you really feel like a soldier or something would rule, and make me buy an Xbox360
i hope MS will take full advantage of what they have right now!
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
Again
I think the Milo stuff is not a real AI, it is limited to what he can do or understand
I m sure it "pre-programmed" : they knew what they wanted to show kinda similar to heavy rain in a way
Time to Work !

Oh yeah, and if I remember correctly, the demo was poorly made. They should have TAKEN THE TIME to make it work at least.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
They should've saved it for the next Xbox, which can't be that far away by now. That way they could make it better, have games for it and make it a part of the system, instead of an add-on.
| Zucas said: NATAL- basically what Eyetoy has been doing for awhile haha. But it looked pretty interesting until Milo which is pretty scary. The games looked fun for NATAL but everything else is just weird. |
Ok to clear up some things:
This device captures 3D images, not 2D. I believe it uses one camera and emits infrared pulses or something of the sort to capture the rest of the 3D image. Also, this has the potential to go way beyond Eyetoy which could only track color changes in 2D space.
I think the whole Milo thing was just an example of how developers can use this device to make it incredibly interactive and personal. It's a demo of the potential to create games that literally interact with YOU and not your "character".
Also, that piece on predicting this thing to cost $200 is just plain stupid. MS is not stupid enough to think people would buy a $200 peripheral. If anything I bet it will be included with every Xbox 360 in the future (bundled), and available for like $50-75.
It won't really make a difference on the console war. The milo thing surprised me though, I'd like to know the price of that thing.
