Project Natal

Frankly, I dont see this working so well...but I'll keep my opinions to myself.

As for everyone else, enjoy :D!

looks sweet but prolly wont be very good...hopefully they prove my opinion wrong! concept is awesome though
 
So it's like a non-dodgey working Itoy? it doesn't look too bad. I can just imagine someone playing a shooting game and getting like a nerf or BB gun and destroying their T.V. *hehe*.
 
I really really doubt it will work. and even if it would, I hope they wont do it... If I want to play on a console, I want to sit in my lazy chair with a gamepad.. not dance around in the livingroom all the time.

It's like the Wii... first its fun, but once the 'new' feeling wears off, its not used anymore.

On the other hand.. since its for the xbox 360 already.. perhaps its worth a try. I mean, it is something new after all.
 
If this will work,its going to be fantastic fun but i agree with what Arch said

If I want to play on a console, I want to sit in my lazy chair with a gamepad.. not dance around in the livingroom all the time.

Immagine comming home from work,your tired and dont realy want to do anything but sit down and play a few games? I couldnt do with jumping around either :D

Lol @ 1:40 into the clip i could just see that girl kicking her tv through the wall :D
 
That would be insane if they got it working as well as the video shows, but I'm doubtful it would work well at all. How would it not get confused when there's more then one person there? They would have to have some sort of controller or sensors strapped to different parts of the body, I know the video is only showing the concept but it doesn't show any kind of sensors on the people in it. If they rush it its going to fail, it would take years before its perfected.
 
Does look good but it is baically an eytoy with more acuracy.
The PS3's motion sesors seem cooler as you actualy hold something.
Like a Wii Remote :)
 
i don't know if i want to do that much physical effort while i play video games. i mean, it's my chill out and relax time. not, have a heart attack and hopefully somebody will find you down there in teh basement time. u know what i mean?
 
I think it is going to be awesome. Unlike the wii you dont need a control, you are the control, it is for the xbox so unlike the wii, it wont just be for 10 year olds and as it is for the xbox, unlike the wii, it will have good graphics, good sound and good gameplay.

Also, when i play my xbox i am either playing for fun, or to relax. If it is tto relax, i can sit and play with my remote, if i want some fun, i can play with natal. If i want to relax AND have fun, as we have seen with Milo, you don't need to be jumping around all the time to play, yea there are things that you can get up and do, but you don't have to be walking around.

And even if you think it won't take off, you have to appreciate how amazing this is, to be able to play without a remote with something that recognises your face, your voice, your movements, your mood, everything, it is totally revolutionary and astounding how you could 1. engineer something like that and 2. program stuff like that, I find it mind boggling myself
 
from what i've read on it it's supposedly works really well and really makes u feel like ur in the game. it looks really cool and i'm looking forward to trying it out.
