Project Natal on the late night show w/ Jimmy fallon! Crowd goes crazy!

[QUOTE="PvtGump8"]

I wonder if the orange jumpsuit is bundled with it.

MKLOL

It has to do with lighting. I've worked with cameras and studio lighting all my career and I can tell you right now, if they didn't have those jumpsuits on, Natal's image sensor would be going crazy.

Now to anyone who starts saying, "SO UNDER CERTAIN LITES U HAV @ WEAR A JUMPSUIT LOL FAIL" understand that studio lighting is vastly different than any consumer grade bulbs, and unless you dished out $10,000 for a single light in your room, you shouldn't worry about it.

Burnout looked laggy as hell.....and I love how Microsoft is controlling environments with this thing....orange jumpsuits on jimmy fallon and an all white room at E3

Good job failing to note the quote is a good chunk of the article, and not all of it negative. It would be easy to assing a lot of funtions to voice input, but then I woul only need a mic to do that.

Gxgear

why didnt you quote the part where he said it controlled better than the standard controller?

Because I'm pointing out the doubts and potential pitfalls, I'm obviously not here to agree with you or joing the parade of lemmings lapping it all up.

also, at the end of the interview they said that you DIDNT need the jumpsuits they were just for show.... i watched that show last night, they said that after the commercial

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]why not just use the one built into the camera... you know, the one that can actually recognize different peoples voices...

The guy in the article did express his doubts, and I think you just admitted to being a lemming.

I dont understand how people can be excited for this, it screams gimmick. If anyone has played motorstorm using the sixaxis motion as a stearing wheel will know how gimmicky it is, sure it works, and is fun to mess around when friends are over for about 10 mins, but you will go back to normal controls right after and never do it again. This can work out for a few games, but for the most part its screaming gimmick.

Seems like every time people try Natal out or watch someone try it out they go crazy. This thing is a hit.

the crowd didn't go crazy. they appropriately applauded. if you guys think they went crazy on that one then maybe it's your first time watching a late night show? besides, tha 'Applause' sign works well.

[QUOTE="Jrfanfreak88"][QUOTE="verbalfilth"]I was watching Craig Ferguson. =) anyways, on topic: MS can publicize this thing all they want...but in the end of the day I see natal failing....why? because it isn't a compulsory/main feature of the xbox 360 like motion controls is to the wii... I see it ending up like the eye toy...but that's just one man's opinion.fourseamer4

You're crazy if you don't think MS won't bundle this with a new SKU. Project NATAL with an XBOX 360 and a game that uses the camera and it'll sell for people wanting it for motion capablities. Guarantee.

[QUOTE="hoosier7"][QUOTE="wolverine4262"]Im only a lemming int he sense that i prefer gaming on my 360 rather than my wii, gaming pc, or the ps3 i cant afford atm...this isnt about me though.... the guy in the article had doubts after saying that it controls better than a freaking stick! The game wasnt even made for it...

Using Natal for driving sims is by FAR the most immersion "breaking" concept ever (other concepts seem decent, but are mostly concentrated on casuals).

Wow MS is really trying to push this tech and get it noticed. Personally I dont think its gonna take off seeing as how its a secondary peripheral for gaming unlike the Wii. Who knows maybe MS are testing this tech with 360 and if users like it then they may go fully Natal next gen with no controller what-so-ever :o
br/>BTW controller-less computer gaming is totally fail for me, I just cant imagine it being practical when playing games like Tekken, Metal Gear solid etc. I know Natal is gonna have its own unique games but I cant see it being intergrated well with current controller based games without any problems. For the record Controller> Motion controller>Natal. Funny how self-proclaimed hardcore Xbox gamers are so giddy over Natal, I bet they would just love to use it for Halo :DSwift_Boss_A

It is just another way to play games...Why does everyone act as if MS is promoting it as the only way to play the 360 going forward? As far as I know it will be packaged with every 360 in addition to the 360 controler and a headset and an ethernet cable. Therefore everyone can enjoy casual gaming, online gaming, and games as we have been playing right out of the box.

So there's he gave both positive and negative feedback...your point?

What I see here is a device that is capable of projecting a person's simple movements into the game without some sort of physical controller.

I don't see how it can play Burnout better than say a steering wheel...just imagine how sore your arms would be after holding it out for so long.

More casual gaming...this gen is going to hell.

NATAL is being positioned as another motion control gimmick device. The controls will not be that responsive or precise but will sell tons.

I see this Natal doing a crash and burn. It looks ok, but it needs some serious work.

I remember when the Wii motion controls was first introduced, the same thing happened, some people were amazed, some people thought it was a gimmick and was inaccurate and such, but it in the end it caught on in the media and now the Wii motion controls can be found in hosipitals, shown in tv shows and such. I don't think the Natal is designed or set to replace the traditional Xbox 360 controllers, it's just a nice option to play a game or two.

If the Natal doesn't become successful, guess what, the Xbox 360 would still be fine, just like when HD-DVD failed but didn't affect the 360. And if the Natal becomes successful, I don't think the Xbox 360 will suddenly become more casual and just cater the casuals. They have more "hardcore" gamers on any systems except the PC.

[QUOTE="Gxgear"]I know you're just firing random ideas, but they're pretty gimmicky.

Movement would be the main issue for platforming, what with all the jumping around and running.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"][QUOTE="Gxgear"]

Here's one: how abot I play with a controller?

Sorry I get annoyed when people try to defend ideas that is obviously going after sales rather than being a good product.

Gxgear

Or maybe, just maybe, that no one will buy it when you can't use it to play anything. Why would Natal need software support when it's suppose to enchance the user's gaming experience?

You know what, you're just coming off as ignorant (I don't know if its intentional and I'm not trying to flame here).

The interface has potential, its still very early on and has tons of room to improve and be creative. For starters, there is potential for head tracking. Did any of you see that video where the guy had the Wiimote hooked up to a PC and as he moved his head, his perspective changed?

This would be perfect for thet, being able to lean and look round corners!

There is nothing wrong with using this technology to enhance existing controls. Again, calling such ideas as half baked in my opinion is being really narrow minded. Competitive players who like online FPSs for example arn't going to be interested in this.

Its one thing to recognise this technology has a way to go but its another to blatantly hate every single thing the MS tries to do with the 360. I'm a hermit more than anything and I have to say I have never seen these boards so 'anti-MS' before, especially from the low post count cows that seem to have flooded these boards recently who just attack and flame anything MS.

What is the difference between this and eyetoy?illegalimigrant

• Stereo cameras that can see you in 3D and not just a 2D shape
• The additional hardware purpose built to run the software required for the cameras
• Specific software that recognises 3D shapes and movement in real-time
• Voice recognition

None are in themselves new, (like motion controls weren't for the Wii) but its Microsofts intention to develop this kind of interface, their ideas and the potential.

It's going to be funny when Sony shows their Harry Potter ball on a stick motion wand :lol:

Natal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sony's Harry Potter wand.

Gonna buy it.

More casual gaming...this gen is going to hell.

It'll be awesome for smaller creative games. The guys on the show were amazed with it.
