"Maybe it's cooler to drive one-handed, but Natal not letting me do it was impressive in its own way."

Wow, some people can find a silver lining in everything.

OT: it was pretty obvious that Natal would be able to handle more than one player, limited by computing power of course. Of course in games with lots of movement you need to have a lot of space for two people to play, which would be a problem where I play games. I suppose you can't put one person in front of another, so no way I would have space for even two players.

 


Just like there are people that can't find a silver lining in anything.

How much space would you really need for two people? Is it really not possible to get two people to stand in from of your tv side by side with 2-3 feet sparating them? Do you play videogames in your closet?

I live in a quite small place right now. I can't picture two people with their arms open and a safe distance between them in front of my TV.

 

I take it you don't do much Wii multiplayer either?  (not meant in bad way, just curious because I know the Wii takes up some room when playing bowling and tennis).

You need not worry about spending money on videogames then. Perhaps upgrade your living arrangements. Unless you live in an urban environment, in which case...sucks for you.

It's a work in progress ;)

I often play Wii Sports (mostly tennis) with my girlfriend, and that works fine. You don't really need to open your arms much for that, though (and it's no problem if you're slightly in front of the other person either).

In the E3 video it showed a family playing a quiz, and Natal knew who buzzed in. That's multi player already confirmed, so what's the big fuss?

That was surely just a concept video, though.


It was a concept video, but there was no reason to doubt that the tech could do multi player tracking, was there?
