Forums - Microsoft - Natal featured on GMA (good morning america)

Doesn't look like I can embed so...

Go to: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/

Under the "Recently on GMA" watch the video called "No Controls! Trying out the new xbox"

 

---------------------------------

On the one hand - this is amazing exposure for natal.  I'm honestly amazed at how much the mainstream media is picking this up.

On the other hand - it looks as glitchy as ever.  More akward contortion of the avatar, noticible lag, and a 10 second period (-51 to -41) where it doesn't register the player.

It doesn't even have a release date yet! I think the only reason why they're promoting Natal now is to create FUD for the Wii. MS hopes mainstream viewers will see this and postpone or cancel their plans on buying the Wii since there's something "better in the future."

It may backfire though. A viewer who goes to the store now and asks for Natal will be disappointed. The store will likely promote the other similar products OUT NOW like the PS Eye and Wii M+. I doubt the mainstream audience (which MS is trying to target with these product placements) will be patient enough to wait till next year.



No controls? Then how do you use it? Does it just sit there while you stare at it?

either you are A) unaware of natal in which case i suggest you look into it or B) making fun of the title in which case don't blame me - GMA came up with the title.

You seriously underestimate how big this ''mainstream audience'' is. It's not like it will be depleted by the end of 2009 lol.




Natal needs some serious work before its released. The avatar was having a seizure.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Loose clothing is a serious problem for Natal. You could see how the guy's open suit jacket was making his avatar's pelvis go insane.
