CONFIRMED: Natal launch is nearing and launching w/ Launch Games!

Link

hmmm, I hope they don't treat Natal as it's own console ;/ Anyways, looking good so far!

Was anybody expecting it to launch without launch games? Having launch games is kind of a given if Microsoft wants people to buy it...

tell that to sony :P

I am looking forward to it....but that article was meh. There wasn't a single thing that hasn't been said many times already.

Good. Hopefully they'll get rid of that delay that occurs with fast movements.

Umm... okay. That's like saying I'm going to get milk with a carton to store it included! :|

I'm going to let all of you in on a secret!! If you subtract all the new games that will be availlable for both 360 and PS3 at the PS3's launch you have a grand total of 5 exclusive titles. How can a person justify spending 600+ dollars for five titles it's simple they can't. So what if MGS4 is only for PS3 are you willing to spend 600+ bucks to play one game. 360 is going to have a price drop near the PS3 launch date. Which means you can get a 360 premium system and no less than 6 games for the same price as one PS3 unit. Plus Microsoft is going to have a HUGE wave of exclusive titles right through the holliday season and well in to next year. Yes I know they had more time to develope games for the 360. Yet games in the 360 lineup were delayed and the system shortage didn't win friends either. The fact that Sony didn't capitalize on these errors and slow down 360 sales to a manageable level is a major blow to the PS3. I'm not even going to talk about how badly the WII will damage PS3 sales. In three years time people will look back and say " Remember when Sony made the PS2 and how great it was. I wonder where it all went so very wrong ".

How right he was lol :)

Good. Now lets get Sonys out, too and we could have them both fail faster.aaronmullan

If it's one thing I've learned about Sony is that they can't launch anything properly. They sure as hell better be successful, or they are screwed.

I really don't care at all for Natal. It makes the Wii Mote and PS3 Ice Cream Cone look like fun.

How can it be treated as its own console if it requires a 360 to work?

Not too excited, if I want to do motion action I will go outside and play sports, seems another gimmicky ploy by microsoft to appeal to couch potatoes who rarely see the light of day. Soon maybe they will come up with an idea to chew my food for me and wipe my butt so i can just sit stationary in front of my xbox 24/7.mrgreen108

This is exactly what some of the weirdos on this forum want, too. :lol:

If Natal launches with Halo Reach I can see the sales of it extremely high since Bungie is rumored to be interested in using the tech for Halo Reach anyway.

i mean this is to be expected. why should there be no launch games? this just wouldn't make sense.

Its probably going to be a mini game collection sort of like Wii Sports. Microsoft wants it to be successful, so why not immitate Nintendo's approach to new control devices? Its probably going to be Ricochet and a bunch of other similar type games.

with NatalDance.

:lol:

i bet a doraand elmo game is in the works for natal. im hoping they make a good godzilla game for it. that one monster game going threw the city looked cool and would be fun to watch a younger brother play

Of course there will be a collection of mini games that will come with Project Natal.

These will be simple demonstrations of what Natal can do at the least.

However I am sure devs like Bungie can show us how it can also work with other genres.

I'm definately hoping Natal will be an option in Halo Reach when it comes out next year.

Military command gestures in Halo Reach?? FTW

Natal is going to do poorly for so many reasons.... And when it does expect everyone to say, "Yea, no one expected it to do as well as the Wii" or "I never said it was good" :roll:

I think if we get to use knives, base ball bats , nunchuks and kung fu on milo it will be a success

It's funny to see the cows laughing at the thought of what games we'll see..what exactly do you think is going to be supported by your magic wand? Probably shovelware as well. At least Natal can be used outside of gaming, with every feature on the dashboard and new stuff programmed for it. DeadMagazines

As far as I can see there much the same product, the eyetoy has been out for a long time and clearly does not require wands to work, im sure Natal is capable of tracking wands if they so desired.

Where did you hear sonys product will not be able to function outside of games :p

Lots of silly speculation and guess work passed off as fact as usual. Wonderful.

I wonder why natal gets so much stick. I'm happy to wait and see what games come with it. I'm not going to nock microsoft for trying to improve on the wii remote over flat out copying it like another next gen console maker.

the eyetoy does no require a wand, I have it on ps2, but not ps3 but you can move things on the screen just using your hands etc, the ps2 one was no natal but it does work. Check out the eyepet trailer to see wandless motion sensing on the ps3.

I have a 360 aswell so im interested in how both products turn out.

natal is going to launch with game?!?!?! no way (sarcasam)

seriously is this news? obviously natal will launch with games also there was no hint that the natal launch is nearing most likely atleast a year away
