They've made 2 fps franchises that have been popular, they also created the real time tactics genre of games that warcraft soon followed with, and they made a great 3rd person action game.
It takes out a lot of the fustration I've had with other racing games, specially ones where I've held a lead throughout an entire race, when I hit a car I was overtaking near the end, spinning out and having my car damaged, which loses credits, and even losing the race.
Not only that, I think it will help me take corners and perfect lines. Being able to find the precise speed, line, and timing on each section of a track will be a lot more fun. Same thing about practicing drifit...

and the sam fisher, opening sequence had some absolutely great animation.
The fact they removed complete regenerating health from the game is proof enough that they have made an extremely different game.
Similar to halo 1, but not quite as forgiving. If you take too many hits, you go into a redzone that wont recharge without getting some sort of medical aid. (halo 1 it would even at 1 bar left)
Why is this so important?
Well, the nature of the game is no longer the same. If you're low on health and there's no health near...
what they'll do is create a gigantic server that will start recording what people say to milo. Microsft will develop an algorithm for milo to sort said information and it will determine the most popular conversations. Then milo will start to initiate conversations based on what's being talked about most.
Eventually, milo will begin networking with the interenet, and utilizing a google like ability to search, store and organize information, milo will be able to talk about anythi...
He means more realistic with regards to personality, character flaw and with how we interact with those characters.
What he's talking about are NPC's like in fable or the sims, and making those characters more realistic, not just seem like icons running around without any real substance behind their existence.
realistic with regards to how they act and treat your character and you, without being neccessarily scripted to do so.
the article lost all credibility when it started to compare natal to the eyetoy.
IT'S NOT THE EYETOY! IT'S NOT THE EYETOY PLUS!
It doesn't use the same technology, it doesn't preform the same way, it's not the eyetoy.
Judge natal for what it can do, not from what other products that some think are similar can do.
also, completely incorrect.
"The two cameras (stereoscopic) provide depth perception in much the same way as our two e...

why does it have no problem with having multiple people standing next to one another, or people passing in front of the play?
you're no longer playing with 'air'
And there's a really bad accident, I'm cringing because of the feedback I get from holding my.... popcorn?
When I was a kid I used to play cops and robbers, I never needed a real gun to have fun, my hand pretending to be the gun was more then enough. Infact I learned to drive standard by imitating my father's motion, when I started driving standard, I had nearly no problems.
If your hands are imitating the use of a wheel, isn't that enough feedback? And if it isn...
pink slip racing.
The amount of hard work and customization you can put into your cars, it makes it all the more real if you lose.
"This is so focking retarded !!! Its interaction design 101 that when you are controlling something you need some form of feedback."
Aren't visuals and audio a form of feed back?
A joystick doesn't provide any feedback, but people have been using those for years? and rumble was only popular last generation on consoles, so why were people playing racing games on the n64 and ps1 even without this 'feedback'? your strawman argument doesn't work at all.
controls the speed.
I don't know about the gas and brake thing, but they can easily implement the ability for your to ebrake.
edit for below.
Duh... that's why people are so amazed at this thing. It can do that.
The bam video was a problem to the avatar's in ability to be properly animated for natal. The wii remote had many similar with stuff like wii sports, particularly the tennis.

what about the lights being turned on and off?
Wow, talk about the sony parade coming in to try and lambast CNET for supporting a microsoft product. Didn't hear the complaints when they said sony had the best conference show...
leg forward, gas, leg back, break.
If you sitting down, slide you leg forward slightly or back slightly.
If forza wanted they could add a load of options to make the screenshots look much better than they do. turn 10 never used those tactics, even in forza 2 all they did was increase the AA.
PD increases the polygon count in the models and adds motion blur, depth of field and other effects during their videos.
That video isn't a what GT really looks like when you're playing the game, just like these screenshots aren't what forza 3 will look like when playing the game.
Also in forza 2, the cars pick up dirt on the bottom as the race gets longer. So I guess the 360 can do '4d'.
to take out the driver or leave him in.
According to that list; no one, talked about grant turismo psp, halo 3:odst/halo reach, or final fantasy 14. That I find extremely hard to believe.
