Forums - Microsoft - Why cant Natal be used with other controller interfaces?

thx1139 on 02 June 2009

A point brought up with Natal is that it wont work with FPS for instance because how would you shoot. Or people want a wheel to steer, people want to hold on to a sword.

So what would stop MS from starting to make some additional controllers that work with the Natal.  Some of these can simply be props like the Wii Wheel that comes with Mario Kart Wii. Why not a gun prop that actually has a working trigger?   For a sword my kids have about 15 light sabers including multiple ForceFx lightsabers. What is to stop us from using those as swords?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

It can, but if you're trying to construe something as EPIC FAIL, you're not inclined to think of solutions to the obstacles that you're throwing up.

I hope games support plastic light sabers and toy nerf guns.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
