Riddle me this... (project natall)

Hey everyone

Just wanted to know if i was missing something here, but how insactly is project natal revolutionary and recieving so much hype? it basicly does the same thing the ps3 EyeToy does! I dont really understand what all the fuss is about...

But if it does do something cool that i dont know about (im no expert on the subject) it would be cool if you peeps could let me kno :).

Cheers

It has two cameras which enables it to detect depth.

Someone who types "insactly" doesn't see the potential in Project Natal? SHOCKING!

Doesnt the ps3 eyetoy sense depth as well? it looked like it did in the demos... so far the only difference i can tell is the voice recognition which im sure can be implemented into the eyetoy in some way. so far i think they are the same in every way, plus the ps3 also has a controller. Im not really favoring either system i just want to kno why everyone has been saying natal is the best thing since sliced bread.joel_c17

eyetoy can only detect the depth of the wand

natal can detect the depth of the whole body

I sure hope they do this right. As from what i've seen from E3 this thing could be wicked fun.

huh? what reviews? have you played the game?

It's really nothing revolutionary. But they are proposing support the eye toy never had.clembo1990

If you have dreads it won't work though.

One is based on a 2D camera/imaging system....one is based on 3D

One integrates multiple technologies....imaging, voice recognition, rudimentary AI....one doesn't

One is part of a broader vision of gaming futures....one is viewed as a limited use accessory

Whether natal succeeds is debateable, but the vision is much broader. It is like saying a Ferrari and a Lada are the same because they are both cars. Technically correct, but an entirely different vision. No one writes articles about amazing performance or potential of Ladas.

Riddle solved.

Who seriously believes that Natal is real? and Milo? Hey You, Pikachu? I honestly don't think it's gonna work?

Do we have any info on those 'Private viewings' of Milo that Molyneux was on about?

meh.... like most objective, non-biased people, I'll wait 'til NATAL is out to pass judgement. It has potential.

And to people comparing NATAL to the PS3's Eyetoy; One of them has 2 cameras, the other has a single camera. If you don't understand how such makes them different, then you need to do some research. :)

I know that Milo isnt quite real, but Natal is, all of the critics are saying that it works just as well as they said it would up on the stage.

I don't think the camera technologydoes the actual facial recognition or voice recognition. I would think that would be software driven, using the results from the camera and the microphone.

"That's what I said. Then I learned a new trick: how to map the human mind."

(Bwahahahahahahahahaha, yes, microsoft will steal everything from you.)

Natal is like Windows 7.

A bunch of crap.

I don't see the difference.

Theres a reason its getting so much press coverage and despite fanboys wildest dreams it's not because they bribed the media. It;s innovative, it's not been seen on consoles before. It could possibly change the way you play consoles all together. Even have a bigger impact than the wii remote ever did.

People cry that microsoft steals ideas and doesn't innovate, despite sony playing catch up with PSN for the last couple of years, coming out with an exact copy of the wii remote but with a light on the end. And nintendo? Nintendo don't even try they don't need to, the wii remote is all they need. If you can't see the potential in Natal, you're either a blind fanboy or you lack an imagination..majorly. I'm not saying it'll change the world but it COULD impact the industry in a big way.

...Or it could fail miserably and be a big giant mini game fest. But you cannot call it an eyetoy, that's massively downplaying it.

[QUOTE="Nedemis"] really? to me it sure seems as if facial recognition (for multiple users at once), voice recognition and control is quite a leap for a camera accessory. :|CreepyBacon

Well, I was focusing on the camera technology itself. Voice recognition and facial recognition I don't think have anything to do with eyetoy technology, which some people apply.

The BIGGEST issue MS has to solve with Natal is fixing that half-second delay or longer, especially with fast movements.

Hey everyone

it basicly does the same thing the ps3 EyeToy does!
