"Hold your hands out and together. Pull them apart slowly to determine your speed. The further apart they are, the more acceleration you're giving your car. Twist your hands for steering like you would a steering wheel."

I remember something like this was stated for a racing game [think nfs] using camera tech. Then I remembered that in Heavy Rain your character walks forward with R2 and you control the direction they move in with the left stick, which is the control scheme for most racers these days.

I'm sure they'll figure this stuff out. Let's just wait and see.

Big fan.

hehehe, excellent, i'm a big fan too!

but you know what i was getting at? he was so excited, until he found out that the beany couldn't actually make him fly. And i already heard some crazy stuff about what people think natal will be able to do.

Easy just do this

the only real games that will work well with xbox camera natal, is wii esque parlour games for all ages.

Well, talking to my legs or making them gestures to make them walk or stop? Brilliant! Just like we all do in real life, now that's a lot more realistic than using a stick or a pad!!!

Seriously, it looks like in whatever game that involves walking, it won't be more realistic and/or intuitive than Wii. And whenever handling a tool or weapon, it looks like Wii will still have the edge. It's very simple: unless the camera-only system is able to track fingers, having buttons, pads and sticks within reach offers more versatility (obviously the control scheme will have to be simple and intuitive, both in its physical layout and in the particular mapping schemes used in the games, otherwise it will nullify motion control advantages, but it's quite evident that Nintendo manages to do so with the commands included in WiiMote and Nunchuck and in the way it uses them in games).

Understand completely and agree.  Haters in particular will focus on what it can't do instead of what it can.  But I don't think that'll be a problem with the mainstream and casual audiences.  It'll be neat to them regardless.  While most of us core gamers complained about the limitations of the Wii, they sucked it in and still are.

It has a lot of potential for unique experiences, though.  Just the other day I was thinking how they could use the full body tracking and vocal recognition to have a game that could teach you how to tango and learn Spanish.  Simple use of the tech, but unique in the game space and a Google search would show you how popular each of those are.  Hmmm . . . did I just give away a good game idea?

You don't????

Replace Tango with Salsa, Bachata and Cha-Cha-Cha and I'm a fan... Well, on second thoughts, regarding Bachata, I'd still prefer to practice with a woman in the flesh, though.

if only!
