i really dont know how well it will do, but i do know this, i could personally care less, for the games i play shooters and adventure games, some sports, i could care less, i am more intrested in the ps wand, seems more like the wii set up, for shooters may be lots of fun , will have to see, i am one of those people who really love playing with a reg controller, i get in my zone and have a blast, so we will have to wait and see.

Before trying to make a point learn to use punctuation correctly. Thats the longest sentence I've ever seen.

I think that Peter Molyneux has no clue how to make games that sell on Natal, his tech demo is Milo, it is the most pretentious and alienating demo a system can have. It is pretending to be human! It will take time for people to trust and adjust to what Milo is capable of, in short, its too complicated and creepy. And Milo's software needs to be good at the world's languages to be good around the world. With Wii sports/play, pop the disc in and start playing.


And after 5 minutes take the disc out and go do something fun. Please don't compare Peter Molyneux's games to Wii sports. Nintendo better hope Natal fails because if it doesn't and the casuals take notice the Wii is done.

My parents drive a 2005 BMW 530i. And it has some voice recognition in it. You press one button and you say "CD 5 track 12" and the Cd changer gets the disc and plays the track. You can also navigate the air conditioner like this. It does work. So 5 years later and heavily focussed on Natal, I am very sure this will work, too.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

really depends on the price and SW, but most of all, it depends on the marketing

I think its a good idea from what I know BUT we def need to see some software first...implementation is very important......is that Milo game whatever actually something they plan to release or is that just to showcase what Natal can do

But thats 5 years later then, its like using MS's money to fund an AI research project instead of making a game that sells the system. But maybe thats their goal, advanced AI years later who knows.

So you saying Milo is no fun then, after 5 minutes put in something fun? With Wii Sports the Wii became a nice bargain, if Milo is the system bundle, then you tell me, you just implied its no fun.

Milo was actually being developed before Pete knew anything about Natal. It was called Project Dmitri.

All down to games. If it's fun, it will do great. Not to over-simplify, but you look at Wii, people still play Wii Sports for bowling and tennis years later. If MS can create the same feeling, it will do fine.

Anyone that is saying that they are not even slightly interested in trying it out...is full of ignarance.

So people will give it a shot. After that its all about software...

Before calling someone ignorant you should learn to spell the word.

Not really...as spelling has nothing to do with getting a point across.

Besides, I speak 3 languages... Spell some Hungarian or Serbian for me. Better yet find them on the map...I'll wait.

No thanks as those languages are basically useless as almost all nations speak English. I do also speak limited spanish. Spelling is essential for understanding. I'll point out Hungary and Serbia when they make a contribution to the World.

100% spelling on videogame forums is essential only to people with inferiority complex like yourself...or is it too much time on your hands? 

Everyone else did not have a problem with my post...

And look up who invented alternating current before you open your mouth next time about contributions to the world. You're not one of the brightest students at your University are you?
