*claps*

Great reasons.

Project Natal will change gaming I mean using your whole body for movement of games thats amazing

I think it will push things in a new direction with software like Milo, but it won't do away with the controller. Gaming is just becoming more mainstream and diverse. More ways to play.

Yo,this looks kiddy yo

I think having an actual steering wheel, or gun in you hand is better than imaginary one. Maybe it will work for fighting games but for driving or shooting I would think you would want something in your hands.

Thank you Microsoft for giving me more things to talk about.

If it changes gaming forever it will change it for the worse...

Personally, I don't think Natal nor Sony's dildo will succeed to the point of making gamers drop gaming as it is today...

It will be a poor attempt at stealing some of Wii's fanbase, nothing else.

can u imagine playing any hardcore game with natal...give me some plz

It could be a great direction in which to take casual household electronics, be the perfect user interface for a multimedia device, but within three months - if that long - casual game users aren't going to be using it for games like Burnout Paradise, and hardcore are going to be beyond pissed that they have to use it to play that kind of game.

You just have to look at the Wii, how motion control has truly been "innovative" in the difference between Mad World and Wii Sports, to see the truth. Just because MS is trade marking it wont change jack.

i want something like this to work.but they have not proved anything.

take away the celebrities.because as a gamer,those celebrities mean nothing to us.they aren't really gamers and just get paid to sell something.

now,take away the commercial with actors.as that wasn't them playing any REAL games.it was a concept commercial.reason being that they did not show any of those games on the E3 stage.

now,what do we have as a concept:a camera that has voice recognition and can recognize a body in 3D.it's not bad.should make for some interesting games made by THIRD PARTIES.maybe rare will surprise with cutesy games,but they haven't delivered in any real sense since leaving nintendo.peter might help them.

voice recognition was done last gen by sony in socom and and nfl gameday.even talkman on psp has some form of recognition.konami did it with lifeline for ps2.sega did it with seaman,and nintendo did it with pokemon on n64.it can work,but there are limits.not just languages,but slang from different areas in the same language.even pitch in language.microsoft will have to make this part work or expect only short commands like off,on,start,go,etc.

as for the delayed reaction,i don't see them fixing that unless they come up with something that can be seen by the camera like sony's motion.simple games can be made,but core gamers will not stand for delayed reaction.even nintendo has been blasted for low accuracy.which is why wii plus is being released.some might not care,but it can make or break a game.

so,right now,it's all concept.with small glitches that we have seen on jimmy fallon and at E3.and a delayed reaction.we will see if it works next year.ut just know that it was not nintendo,but sony that lead the charge with camera based games.as you can see those videos on youtube with just a click.but now sony is moving forward in something that reacts 1:1.and that's better for gaming.

you can call it a "dildo",but you can't knock the fact that it works.and that it is only a concept controller.look on youtube and you can see it has been shrunken down since then.i expect a tv remote size with a small LED front with 4 colored lights inside and a trigger.

apocalypse...............

I am not saying its not cool just that it will be 15 mins of fun and that's it

It is just a toy, real hardcore gamers should hate this thing, just looking at the promotional video makes me want to punch the screen. A kid flapping his arms like he was a monster godzilla.

Real controllers > all, stupid bots.

3 reason why Nintendo Wii/ EyeToy change gaming forever

1st Many gaming types could work
2nd Wii & Eyetoy is the start of something big.
3rd It will take both in the Right Direction.

Funny how u can say the same to these 2.

Natal will hfail due to lack of support.

The future of console gaming? Doubtful. But if that's the case I'm going back to PC gaming. :/

Didn't they say all this stuff for the Wii and now look where it to gaming....

I have 2 words to describe why it won't change gaming forever... EYE TOY.

I wrote before about what future headlines could read since we all know the world is full of idiots. Like 12yr old accidentally shooting friend using real gun with natal or guy accidentally killing gf using real katana with natal. But beyond that i was wondering if i was playing a fps and i was talking to my buddy telling him how a threw a grenade and fragged some noob would it take that as a command and throw a grenade at the wrong time. How will this this thing distiguish between command words and just you talking to your buddy. Are you going to have to refrain from some words? Making it harder to communicate with your team? I hope it works but seems just a gimmick for casual gamers not the hardcore. Also to the person that said something about they could add a controller to go along with it, that would defeat the purpose of it being marketed as controller free which would make it no different than the ps3 eye toy wand thing if they did that. So i doubt that will happen.

Be a real gamer and not a cheap broke fanboy. Own all PC Xbox360 PS3 and Wii(got a kid).

"1) Its shovelware for shovelware games aimed at casual crowd"

That's why it's going to successful and sell like hotcakes.

"2) It cant do traditional gamers games. Cant do shooters, rpgs, action adventure, stealth, sports, racing sims"

How do you know that? They may decide to have Project Natal programmed with some certain First Person Shooters or Platforms.

I know for a fact that Project Natal can run racing games so your logic fails.

"3) They lied about its abilities with smoke and mirrors: "

Lol. No they didn't. Your just being a moron. Like all PS3 Fanboys.

Regarding Milo. This should shut you up.

i think project natal looks like it could be awesome.
as for the whole u need a controller, if natal can track your movements, couldnt they release a gun that could be also tracked for shooters, or a wheel like mario kart for wii, the possibilities would be endless. i know its a get rid of the controller thing, but i love shooters with light guns like point blank, time crisis, think of time crisis game with gun that u can physically duck and shoot.
also if you can scan things, when you are creating ur avatar for a game u could scan in your tattoos if ya have any and put them on were they should be.
thats just some ideas ive have thinking for 5 mins i could go on 4eva.

I'm afraid it could turn out like the Wii and slowly destroy hardcore games.

Wow what a fantastic original idea from microsft, oh no hang on the PS3 already can do 3D gaming (GT Prologue and Wipeout) and has perfect 1:1 motion tracking with depth perception (Unlike the 360’s which was described as inaccurate and laggy), makes you wonder why microsoft are plastered all over the place with this? Oh yeah its because they are a massive contributor to the American media, its a shame that gamers are probably going to stuck with the company that has more financial influence instead of the one that has the better technology.

1) Fighting games beyond boxing and maybe kick boxing would not work.
The number of moves is limited to what you can physically do. Some people have trouble kicking above their knees. You can only memorize X number of gestures.

Rebuttle to 1) You can always use a controller/object with Natal.
Well then your range of motion is limited because you now have a controller in 1 or both of your hands. So Yes, you've expanded your button mapping, but you have really limited your physical movemement mapping

Where Natal will succeed - Software support for non-controller games. Sony has been at no controllers for years and years but nothing has happened. If Sony were to push their Eye toy as hard as MS is pushing Natal, Sony would be so far ahead of both Nintendo and MS. But they aren't and they haven't given the Eye toy support. They have a handful of mini-games and some screen savers.

Will Natal change the face of gaming - Just as much as the Wii Fit. It's a great idea, but it won't change the face of gaming this time around. The next generation of Natal will be a game changer. This generation will be (at best) a lot of successful casual games. The Z-cam is the same as Natal but for the PC, yet we haven't heard much out of PC game developers.

it like motion control will not be used for competitive or hardcore gamming...just like our Wii....it gets used for parties and thats about it...controllers will be more accurate for years to come, so this while exciting tech , is just a addy, which MS will fail if they price the hardware at 200 bucks

For most hardcore games, I think the controller will always be the main input device, not Natal, or dildo sticks, or whatever. The cool thing about Natal is that you can use Natal along with the controller as a great supplementary device. Maybe you're playing a shooter and you want to throw a grenade, so you simulate doing that with your hand. Or maybe you're playing COD and want to slice someone's throat, so you simulate doing that as well. There are tons of possibilities.

I agree with the first post. Just trying to get hits by mentioning the 'revolutionary' Project Natal. It hasn't even been released or demoed with a fully functioning game that is 'revolutionary'. You can't criticize what you don't have.

The only thing that disappoints me is the swarm of tards that don't understand that this is an upgraded Playstation Eye, and will only be better if the software turns out to be better than what Sony can offer. Saying that, I'm not attempting to downplay Project Natal, but it really isn't all that people are making it out to be.

I applaud Microsoft because now this will force Sony to put more support behind the Eye like they should have been doing in the first place. The only thing I will condemn Microsoft/Project Natal for is if they eventually incorporate some type of motion controller with Natal, considering that the whole marketing salespoint was to play games without controllers (i.e. something that actually hinders innovation in the video games market, says MS).

i really hope xbots stop hyping this so much..

MS will see hype and make natal cost over 100 bucks and start creating stuff for natal instead of actual good games..

im sure when people get natal and play it for 10 minutes and get bored theyll realize wtff did i get so hyped for?

"False. At a pricetag of 200 bucks, it will sell like the dreamcast. "

You are wrong. The price for Natal hasn't been announced yet and it was supposed to be estimated around 100 Bucks.

Complete failure.

"False, Natal ran BURNOUT (a 15 year old ARCADE racer)"

You just proved my point. Natal is able to run racing games.

Thank you for proving my point

"Natal cant run racing sims. There is no way to measure subtleties like different amount of breaks and handbreaks"

Uh, Yes it can...

">> They lied. The videos showed many things like scanning in objects and minority report style browsing. None of it were shown during the conference. Milo is a complete smoke and mirrors lie. "

It isn't a lie. You are a complete joke thinking such a thing. You didn't experiment or talk to Milo during E3 so you have absolutely no right to say if that was real or not. Obviously your being a **** and are blindly going by that site which suggested Milo could a fake. Here is a quote from one of the individuals who did:

"I left impressed with the ambition on display but also certain that what we were shown was loosely stitched. Much tightening and tuning will be needed to make Milo feel like more than a collection of tech experiments — to feel alive. It's exciting that that's Molyneux's goal."

"Now that I've experienced the Milo demo firsthand, though, I can say that I'm almost a believer. The potential for this game and how you could ultimately interact with the character is very high, and I'm excited to see where it goes next."

Yeah, Sounds like they're lying alright.
