apparently the motion tech company has nothing to do with Natal :S
believe that if u can lol. i certainly dont
edit: you are right though. technology sophisticated enough to sense individual fingers would be pretty expensive. maybe it can sense fingers up to a certain distance away from the camera as the further away you get the harder it is too sense them
i'd say the Sony's motion controller is an adaptation of the usual motion sensing technology used for motion capture that should work pretty well with games.
I think both a great tbh. Sony's is better for use during combat gameplay while MS's is better for RPG like games where conversations with NPCs is required
I agree with the OP, sounds like these "hardcore, triple-A" games will require Natal before you can play them.
I hope this isn't the case.
'The Sony controller is cool an innovative to some extent but there was nowhere as groundbreaking as Natal in terms of innovation. In short, Sony took Wii mote and Eye toy, two previously released products and "integrated" the idea into one. Microsoft did something that just had never seen before, 3D motion recognition in games? It would've sounded unreal just one week ago.'
Really?
h...
Cogo is right.
In my opinion WoW is pretty amazing for what it is but the fact that it will drain your life the one big reason you should stay away.
I've been off it for over a year now and really wana see what northrend is like as well as find out about the story behind it all but I can't afford to get sucked back in lol
"Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, Sinister Strike, EVISCERATE!!!"
hmmm, no thanks. I'd rather just hit a few keys quickly or in this case touch a part of my hand
Nothing quite like blowing things out of proportion eh?
Go back to sleep cos thats where your whacky thoughts and dreams belong
Yep, DirectX has been around for ages.
If I remember right, I think around the time that Half-Life was released for PC it was DirectX 6 that was being used. Not sure though but kinda shows you its been around for ages.
it does look kinda cool but im not sure just how intuitive it would be to use. might take a lot of getting used to
the 16GB of storage space is the only thing that makes me want one.
my original PSP is still fine tho so I'm just gona get higher capacity memory sticks since theyr so cheap now
lol why would some idiot even bother to disagree to such a thing :S
Natal isn't an invention. It's existing technology that's been applied to work with the X360 and video games just like the Sony motion controller
I'm starting to get interested in this game.
I was originally planning on getting it on the PC a week or two after launch to see if it was any good.
appparently they're thinking of putting it on the 360 too.
haven'r read anywhere that its confirmed yet
he didnt actually refer to the Wii when he made that comment. He was just saying they want to create something for gamers rather than some toy you'll find in a nursing home.
You have to remember, these people have to be careful about what they say and how they say it
Edit: I prefer Sony's motion controller over MS's Natal because of what he said. That they want to create it for games which gamers are interested in. MS seems to be targeting the casual market (I said t...
same here.
but i think ill borrow a ps2 off a friend and get the first 2 games from somewhere. After playing Chains of Olympus I wanted nothing else but to play them lol
I think it can defo run the tech. But its a different story when its applied to a game as you need to make sure u can run the tech with the game without compromise one or the other.
lol true
but where would this industry be if it wasnt for rip-offs?
I hope both Sony and MS can make their tech work as well as they think it will
I know exactly what you mean. It seems to me that with Natal, MS are gunning for a slice of Nintendo's casual gaming pie.
damn, why didnt i think of that lol.
that would be awsome. maybe a game where you get to play out Kakashi's fight with Zabuza mimicking the hands and stuff :P
edit: 'How many 10 year olds do you think can pull off "ninja magic" hand gestures?' true that. im sure they'd dumb it down so its doable by the masses and maybe increase the speeed required to pull off various jutsu for better players
but that would mean I'd have to get an X360 :(
