Microsoft will ban all filming at Natal conference, possibly due to lag issues

The lag is 100ms, 1/10 a second. If you play online you likely play above that from time to time. I really fail to understand why this is such a big deal.

wait... so they won't even broadcast the event? what's the point of even having that extra conference?

SO? Stuff is shown at E3 all the time with camera restrictions. Maybe, not all of what they show is ready for public viewing. Either way, we will get hands on impressions so its not like they can actually hide any faults of the hardware. Also, what if they are holding off photography so that nothing is leaked for their Press Conference the next day? Remember, the natal event is NOT a press conference. Dont call it that.

So some online news site that I have never heard of is saying that it knows somehow that Microsoft will ban all photography and video recording of Natal during it's conference? I'm calling BS on this until it is confirmed by Microsoft and published on a reliable and trust worthy news source.

I'm sure Sony or Nintendo have company spies that will leak footage in order to embarass Microsoft.

Let me clarify this for you. There will be 2 EVENTS for MS this E3. First EVENT, being held on Sunday 6/13/10 a day before the MAIN conference, is dedicated for Natal only (all ages) which they don't want the press to take any pics or videos. On Monday 6/14/10, which is the MAIN conference, MS will talk/show to the press about their games/Natal without restrictions. E3 attendants will have a chance to play with Natal just same as last year but this time on the show floors.

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]So did Microsoft promise more than it can handle?TheXFiles88

Oh? Then this isn't really an issue. It's common sense.

Quite the sensationalistic article, but it's upsetting that there won't be any press for the Natal-specific event.

There's no way a camera that can track every part of your body, face, read emotion, understand all types of verbal, non-verbal, and body language gestures ect plus have zero lag and cost under 50 000 000 to create

expect natal to have the worse lag, move to have they 2nd most and wii to have the least when all is said and done.

The Move has been pretty much universally praised at being far more accurate than the Wii. What did your conclusion come from?

Amusing how this post was promptly ignored. At least it silenced some of the fanboys. :P

This has flop written all over it. Only reason a company would do this is when their system won't look good.

What's the difference between Natal last year and Natal this year?

That.

"but the lag on the input and lack of physical buttons is really going to restrict the kind of games that can be done with it."

Can I haz buttons?

Natal is smoke & mirrors. Microsoft must keep it that way for it to have success. So all the suckers go out and buy this "new" novelty item, and they cash in. That is the cynic side of the spectrum.

See my sig, I kept it there to remind me of how stupid I was to fall for the Wii hype.
