Would anyone know if direct sunlight will screw up natal? I've heard of it messing with the wii sensor and remotes.

Innovative? lol. I wouldn't call natal innovative. The concept of not having to use controllers while playing games has already been done.

7:27 seems familiar. A little too familiar.

Anyways, a november 2010 release seems late.

@ Wheelstriker would you call 3D fullbody motion capturing, facial recognition, and Voice recognition all in the same package innovative? Last time I checked, They eyetoy wasn't innovative enough to have any of these features...but perhaps I missed something.
@ nitekrawler, if the sunlight was shining directly into Natal...well I could see that being a problem.

On topic...I hope the pricepoint is correct.

It more likely it was more to do with PS2 limitations than the eyetoy (camera) itself.

Not sure where you read that.  Hell, the Sony guy in the video I posted is the one that said you can only do so much with color for motion detection.

And again he was not referring to the Wand which happens to have a lighted ball on it's end.  With the wand  the camera  is tracking a light and in the other you are tracking reflexed light.

Tony Hawk made a comment that Natal was not accurate enough to do a stateboard game as well as you can't do a lot of the stunts with nothing.

Natal == PSEye + Infrared Sensor

How can you say that the PS Eye is more accurate and more precise than Natal when we have that equation?  The only thing the balls are there for is to accurately pinpoint the location of the hands.  Something Natal doesn't need a brightly glowing ball for.  It can detect the hands, the feet, the hips, the head, etc.  Depth is the problem that color only motion detection has.  And depth is the problem that the glowing balls are attempting to solve.  But then again, they are only providing depth information for the hands.

As for Tony Hawk, he mentioned a camera, could have been talking about the PSEye for all we know.  He also has an agenda with his own skateboarding controller, so not sure his comments are even legit.

Infrared Sensor is a camera and IR is still light.
As far as if Tony Hawk is lying or Natal make a huge improvement before release we have to wait and see.

I said the concept of not having controllers in gameplay has already been done.

It doesn't matter whether natal does motion capture more robustly or has more features than the eyetoy. Thats not the point.

Besides voice and facial recognition, natal is nothing new. Non controller gameplay - done that.

Not successfully or to the extent that Natal will. You sir, fail at your Natal bashing.
