Spain Confirms That Project Natal Delivers

We've all seen old Project Natal videos showing the primitive E3 09 build of Ricochet that Microsoft keeps showing everywhere until now. Spain got the first look at a newer and improved build of Natal that even though being far from the final version it showed enough improvement to impress the media. Here we gather all the impressions from the Spain media and what they had to say after playing Project Natalhttp://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/04/11/spain-confirms-that-project-natal-delivers/Also520°

Project Natal still has a multi-processor

As you know the Natal Project is the first worldwide sensor that uses a 3D video camera, a depth sensor, a microphone and a multi-processor that runs the software, all from the same apparatus. Unlike the 2-dimensional cameras, "Project Natal" 3D analysis of whole-body movements while introducing the commands, the direction of movement or even the tone of voice. It was funny to tell us that the image we've all seen the sensor will not be the final aspect of marketing , which now are still working on it, and that between now and Christmas many things can change.http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http://beegamer.es/2010/04/asistimos-a-la-demostracion-de-project-natal-en-madrid.html

Its funny how everybody talks about lag when natal is brought up. Microsoft has always said the demos that thayhave been showing is from E3 last year is a an old build. We still got 7 months for them to improve in the software. I still think there going to be alitte lag, but not as bad what people on this site (Cows) keep saying.

I have a feeling Natal is going to be pretty good. Heck they need a separate conference for it at E3.

It'll be cool

I remain hopeful, but have doubts.... I'll wait til E3 to make my final judgement. I want to see some core games using this tech in unison with the regular controller.

I'm very hopeful, but i am tired of that ricochet game that keeping showing, i guess we have to wait 4 E3.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't.... I think they said the Natal showing would be the day b4.... but its not a "press" conference... but they do have a big demonstration planned, that I'm sure will be shown on vids on most gaming sites shortly after.

I'd be a happy guy if GS or someone was able to do a Live Stream of it.

I want to see some hardcore games using this gaming system, some like... Fallout 3, GTA IV, Far Cry 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil 5, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and others 8)

it had to be done :P

But really, what game types are you, fans of natal, looking to play with the device?

Other then some party games, I will need to see for myself how other genre work - like shooters for instantce.

We shall see.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]No controller means I'm not interested. It might work well but I don't think it's going to be used for anything beyond some quick, easy to play games for an expanded audience. Which is fine, but I'm not willing to pay for something that won't be used in other software as well. We'll see - E3 is just around the corner anyway.navyguy21

Well we'll see right?

Just based off of what we've seen I'm guessing it'll only be used for those kind of games. Though it'll be interesting to see if and how it'll be used for more 'core'(hate the word) experiences.

[QUOTE="alextherussian"][QUOTE="navyguy21"] Do you know the capabilities of Natal? What would you like to see devs do with it? (honest question, not trying to be mean) I think peoples idea of natal is narrow, as in they only think about motion controlled gaming (mini games) but i think natal could be used in other areas like maybe throwing a grenade back in COD, or creating a vocal diversion in splinter cell.tikki25x

it will help 360 but the question is how much , they need 3 key things to make it work

1 is obvious a good price

2 good support early on

3 good support later on , (this is as important as having it from day one) but still i dont think it will be wii like in terms of sales,

its also less likely that 100 percent of the 360 fanbase would buy in to it

now compared to move this seams to have an edge

why

because

1 move is restricted to 2 players if the extension is being used

2 price of getting into the move is just as high if not higher then what wiimotes go for as it is so in the end -your better off just getting awii for motion gaming

3 support again no word on support at this time only games ive seen that use it is socom 4 -sony exclusive and gameparty 4 -which wont sell well regardless off of wii that is ,

and 4 -its just a wii mote branded by sony

[QUOTE="killzowned24"] looks like it. killzowned24

Is that video from GDC? I think it's because of the low lighting but I am going to wait until E3 to make a final judgment.

I expect it to be OK, but... The 4 meter requirement is going to make it useless for a lot of gamers.Boomshaffted
