Sony had the concept for Natal back in 06. They showed it during the London GDC back in 2006

Sony had the natal concept back in 2006, but didn't have the support for it. I hope Sony releizes the potential now and really gets behind their motion controller now

It's a good thing they left that sucker (literally) in the proverbial oven a while longer. Instead of "dildo controller", we'd be stuck with "king-size Jawbreaker sucker controller". Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. :p

*wispering* Fire! ..... Fire Spell! ..... Wind! ..... Hurricane! *wispering*

lmfao.

Plus Natal doesn't just have a camera like the eyetoy, but also has an infrared depth sensor :)

Its nice to see Sony not giving up on a good idea, as for Natal -_- well it looks cool but MS is getting way ahead of them self's to beat something Sony has been doing and Natal maybe able to scan an pick up voice but that came be fix by adding a part to the PS Eye or they might do it another way. Until both come out for us to use and play with ^-^ who cares until that day.

The "wand" was the size of a grapefruit where now its a ping-pong ball, the final version will probably be as big as an eraser head.

The only thing that we saw Natal do was a 3d breakout game, a paint demo and the bottom of a buggy avatars shoe.

As for the all the cool stuff such as voice recognition, Milo, driving a car sans steering wheel etc. etc. is just concept as of now.

PS Eye is capable of all that stuff last time I checked so why don't we wait to praise Natal when it can actually do what it has promised.

you do know the controller is a prototype you moron they said this wont be the final product design and own ideas? natal is basically a modern version of eyetoy eyetoy were the 1st to do what natal is doing seriously did you watch e3 at all kill crow this years e3 was close imo but i think sony just edged it all the games MS showed were basically multi plats that are going on PC so how are they exclusives?

That milo boy sure will be a seller for all those rapist, heck, who want to play with a virtua boy? obviously a lonely person. Videogames are there to do thing you can't do in real life, such as shoot people.drive fast cars.

Talking to someone and telling him your cute,draw me a cow can be done in real life, unless youre a loser.

i heard everywhere that Natel shown at E3 was fake.

anyway on topic, nice to see an old video of the original motion controller

kill

how is there bugger all you only showed DLC and multi plat games and natal yes the motion controller is pritty much the same as wii no harm in competition like natal is copying the ps eye

and no games for 09 for ps3

the ps3 has
uncharted 2
MAG
demon souls
fat princess
kz2
lbp
R&C
quantum theory

and you say we have no games

you have halo
alan wake
l4d2
crackdown 2
splinter cell
and......

and what i listed for 360 will probs be on PC the superior version

Kill Crow a tid bit of information for you they announced this for spring 10 ( yeah ps3 motion controls spring 10). they weren't planning on showing this thy were just waiting it wasn't until MS showed theirs that they made arrangements. This tech is old its just a software not really hardware did you see Nintendo from ubisoft? It fascinating because other companies can do it but find it pointless. Ms is pumping alot of money into this they should cancel the 360 and launch natal and the 720 together cause this will be a expensive periphal and not that many people are going to want to do a full interaction game with out nothing in your hand.

You want to play natal now here is the instructions

1. get you and a friend
2. set up 10 pins
3. go back 30 feet
4. pretend to bowl
5. have your friend knock over your pins from your imaginary ball.

Actually Sony showed some Natal like demos behind closed doors back at E3 in 2003.
