Natal is just a gimmick tack on, so i suspect patches will be available for a ridiculous fee. 2-3 weeks to port uninvolved games like Halo 3 and maybe a week at most to alter sports games.

Just pay for xbox live, then pay for the patch and you're good to go!

False

Microsoft have already stated that the code or w/e is too much for a game to be patched over Xbox Live. So no games out now will get patchs for Natal intergration, perhaps they'll get updated new retail versions released.

Well, games only take a small patch to be able to work with Natal. That is why Burnout, Katamari, and Half-Life 2 were so quickly ported.

But they announced NAtal back at E3 last year, and had said that they had sent out Dev kits for it. So I say about 2 years by the time it is released

we haven't seen anybody play all those games u mentioned.We don't know if they were ported so quickly

What do you mean? I saw the video of Half-Life 2 myself! There was also a thread on the Katamari game. And people have been talking about Burnout since e3

Half life video wasn't anywhere near official.don't know about katamari game.And burnout wasn't near fully patched.IGN said when it used NATAL it wasn't even reacting.

 

Anyways a small patch wouldn't do it and MS has already said that the patch would be to big to be over Xbox live.

 

And it will take alot of time when you have the xbox processors have to analyse every move of your body.Devs will have to coding every move's attaributes and properties to how it responds in the game
