Damn. Going to have to lock my gun closet when my girlfriend gets her Natal. If I dont, she is going to shoot me with my Desert Eagle.

I can see this causing MS a bit of a headache. Just wait till one of the higher ups in the Gaming Division "accidentally" falls out of the 15th story window.

If people are playing around with real guns with Natal, it is best if we let natural selection take place.

Was a jest.

But for NS to work properly, they could only (and should only) kill themselves.  Im alright with that.

Well, I would say the people around the person playing Natal with a real gun were not particularly fit for survival either :)

Ill give you that.  If you believe you should be part of the future and own a Natal, Lock up your guns.  This is all. 

I still see this ending up in a nightmare for MS.  Oh well, Ill get a few laughs out of the aftermath.


I can see it now.  EA ships a new fighting game that comes with Brass Knuckles for Natal.  Both EA and MS get taken to court when a father "accidentally" hits his son while playing the new fighting game.

Well I do see what you are saying but for me it is kinda like air guitaring versus guitar hero/rock band controller.  Obviously none are an accurate representation of actual guitaring, but with the GH/RB controller at least you get a strong feel that you are actually playing a real guitar.  And it is because you feel like you have a guitar in your hand.  While air guitaring you can mimick all the moves you want but there is still no guitar in your hand even if the person on screen is there.  It's actually a good comparison of Wii Music versus Guitar Hero/Rock Band.  However, I must admit that the Wii Music setup was very fun and even a lot more intuitive in some ways as you could mimick an instrument and then have it play, but it wasn't about immersiveness or realism (one of the reasons the core bashed it so much which I still think is wrong).

So for me that's my main concern although I still think it can be a fun setup as Wii Music was.  I just think that if we want to really expand realism in video games, first we need to feel or at least have the perception that we are the character on screen.  Why I'm hoping Virtual Reality will eventually be expanded upon and perfected.

Hmmm yeah, it's a good example. At the same time, I think it's important to have something that looks like an instrument in your hands because you can easily miss a note you don't want to play. It's not like pressing a trigger or swinging a sword, it takes precision. I believe this is the next step, but virtual reality would be awesome!

True and we are wanting similar things.  While most are looking for realism in visuals I'm waiting to play games that play realistically and feel real.  Some of the m ost fun in videogames I've had are ones that attempt this realism (Tiger Woods 10 on Wii, Wii Sports Resort, etc).  Immersion really I think is the best part of videogames because it's enough to imagine you are in another world but to actually feel like you are in it is even better.

On a related note, I wonder if room needed for Natal will become an issue.
After all, a lot of gaming places (college dorms) are quite small.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I might as well bring this up here. V-Rock asked me the very same question.

"will Natal require full body view?"

This is a great question, and I don't believe we've been given an answer.

First and foremost, this would be practically useless in many Japanese homes. Some people on this site even complain that they don't have enough room for Eyepet, which requires no movement. I've seen some cluttered rooms around here. 9x5 type rooms. So, will it require full body view? Obviously, the logical answer would be "not in all cases".

From that, and from gaming itself, we can expect some games to be full-body whereas others would not be. So, the other question is, will devs have to write on the back of the box that certain games cannot be played without a certain amount of room or view? So, not only would we have

  • ratings
  • console specific exclusives
  • required peripherals

but also, "space-requirement"????

Yes, "Thrill Kill NATAL Edition" would be devastating...

Seriously, I think that's just a matter on how responsible people is, I mean, in real life we use potentially dangerous objects and "bad things"(burns, scars, amputated limbs... murder) happen when you don't use those objects in a proper way. With NATAL you must be a tad more careful and that's it, in my opinion.

It's called NATURAL SELECTION.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I'd like to see a demonstration of 3-4 people hopping around in front of Natal. What I have seen from all demos is a _single_ person hopping around with lags in the 100-200ms time frame. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that the lag will increase as more and more players are in front of the camera.
