Forums - Microsoft - Natal Visionaries only

If natal truly works as planned, then we truly could see the equivilant of an true gaming revolution. De ja vu, but lets hope the 'revolution' sprawls beyond a fantastic new audience, and into mainly entirely new game possibilities.



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

I think this will be one control scheme option but I expect you to be able to fully customise the selection such as right or left handed and modify voice commands. Also I expect you to always have the option to continue to use a normal controller.

We saw that the movements were quickly translated but this is critical in a FPS game especially if you have multiple controller schemes in operation. This will be very immersive and I think will take away some of the complexity in remembering control schemes.

Not sure how the dumb community will feel about this but I fully expect to have mutliple control schemes as options. I do not see to many games forcing Natal only options on you.
