i think like others have said it will secure 2nd place for m$ for a second gen in a row. :)


I don't think that it will matter any more than the Eyetoy thingy.  

Difference is...Eyetoy is a Remnant from Last Gen..Plain and simple...Natal is this Gen...Adding a Wii mote to it..(Yes it's konfirmed to be a wii mote) Won't make it any different..

Having cameras, sensors, etc is going to cost a lot...probably more than $100. I dont see how the heavy price requirements will make MS win this war, but whatever

They own the tech...so expect it to be competitive..

Look at it this way.. Nintendo were thinking of releasing the Wii Remote for the GameCube.. Do you really think it would have changed anything last generation?

That, and the fact that Ballmer said there'd be a new XBox in 2010, makes me think Natal with a re-done XBox will be the first console in the next generation, similar to GameCube -> Wii.

LOL!

best of luck micro.

how on hell are you supposed to play games like the games we play today.

clutiching into thin air is no fun.

You better remove the EyePet picture from your signature quickly.


i was reffering to games we play today for eg. street fighter or any shooter. i dont think it will work with core games.

eyepet is for kids sort of like a family game to mess about. games like eyepet will work with natal but not the normal games you play today.

Which is the platform MS is Taking with Natal....Family play..And again...The right Exersice game will make Natal destroy at retail...Don't doubt EA is not going to make one...

I predict that this will be the most epic fail product this gen. To put so much marketing and hype on this product as a megaton generation changer, is just bound to fail. It can't possibly live up to the hype.

"Trigger button makes it to PS3 motion control"....Well...atleast it's not a blatant rip off....

A camera that tracks people's movements and lets you play games with it?  How is that any less of a copy than the things you mention?

Infrared sensors...That's the difference...And it's two camera's not one, True 3D recognigtion, Built in (Micro?)CPU and all the other things MS has said it sports...And Xbox 360 Fanboy Nuke of Prophecy....

 

The other...Last Gen's tech which out much of an improvement sides Megapixel increase with and added Wand to provide responsive tracking(1:1 ?) and a trigger now added to the wand....in order to emulate an existing Motion Control....

Notice The seemless recognigtion of movement by Natal and lagless reproduction in 3D by CpU in form of the Avatar Sillhoutte...

 

Notice How joint Movement which Aerodynamically is going at a different speed and direction from the rest of the Body is track simultaniously with all other motion as opposed to 1:1 which is tracking in one general direction based on predetermined and necessary movement for an execution of the game physic...

 

Notice the lagless regcognition of Elevation...

The platform.....

 

This is the Future of Motion sensing/Tracking for Video Games....



 



All this talk about exorcise. Sheesh. I don't play games to exorcise.



A warrior keeps death on the mind from the moment of their first breath to the moment of their last.



If anyone wants a good read about Natal, here is one:

and remember, those were just the early prototypes. They still have something like 14 months to work on that.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
