Forums - Microsoft - Project Natal Launch Title Possibility/Probability

Hey, first post here. Have followed the charts some and found a few people here and there that have great perspectives on things. Thought I would finally make an account and post something that came to mind. The first thing that made me want to make an account was something I thought of off the wall when they changed the Halo : ODST title from Halo : RECON. I speculate they did this as to not confuse the customer with such a similar title in Halo : REACH releasing next fall. NOW ON TOPIC. We've heard the rumors that Project Gotham Racing 5 is coming, maybe even being developed/co-developed by Turn 10, and my guess is that it will be a Project Natal launch title more-so than a controller based game (maybe both options though). Why, you might ask? Two reasons:

1.) It might have been one reason why they demoed a racing game (Burnout Paradise) when they revealed Natal to show that it would work if fine tuned.

2.) Project Gotham Racing 3 was a Xbox 360 Console launch title so MS might put some cheesy spin on that since Natal is being considered a "Console Relaunch."  - (PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 6, XBOX 720, 2012 LAUNCH TITLE CONFIRMED???? - lol, sorry about that)

There are my speculations and two cents, so thanks for reading!



Around the Network

I'm sure the natal control scheme will be an option, but I think microsoft like to sell their wireless wheel as well, so I'm sure it will have both control options.

Besides, I don't think the hardcore racer crowd will really latch onto the natal interface. I think a racing game using natal only needs to have karts with turtle shells, or at least the microsoft equivalent to that.

Edit: oh, and BTW welcome to the chartz :)



Thanks homie. Nice to be here. :)



racing games can't be played without forcefeedback and a wheel or atleast a controller. you won't buy a racing game to raise your hand in the air but fighting games like tekken is where natal potentail is also rpg and rts. fps won't use natal neither will tps. i htink xbla titles will use it.



 

 

RPG? How would you imagine something like Dragon Age working with Natal? (seriously, I'm curious)
