Forums - Microsoft - Exclusive: Getting up close and personal with Natal

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10304848-56.html

Can't wait for this to come out!!!

Playing Ricochet, a 3D breakout-like game, I found myself wanting to do whatever I could to stop the balls from passing me. It felt less like a traditional video game and more like I was a soccer goalie and an entire team was firing shots at me. It was both a lot of fun and a bit of a workout. Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed that.

After Ricochet, I tried my hand at an existing driving game that had been connected to the Natal interface. And while my steering hasn't gotten any better than when I checked out a set-up from GestureTek earlier this year, Microsoft's technology is quite impressive. The steering and other controls were both intuitive and responsive.

I moved my foot forward to accelerate and backward to slow down, brake, and eventually reverse the car. To steer, I simply used my hands like a steering wheel.

Awesome! By the way, I wonder sometimes what kind of impact the interface will have overall between the Windows/Xbox 360 versions...



Tease.

"I don't trust #XboxOne & #Kinect 2.0, it's always connected" as you tweet from your smartphone - irony 0_o

According to Wikipedia: Prior to June 2003, Fried transitioned from male to female and changed her associated byline from "Ian Fried" to "Ina Fried."



Kudos:
"Bam! there it is!!"

Guy/Girl in the video:
"Bam! there goes my balls!"



WTF she has male voice.

From the sound of her voice, I'm guessing not.
