Project Natal is new technology from Mircosoft for Xbox 360 that use motion sensors to see what the player's motions are ,thus far enabling the player to not have to use a controller, and to put this to use to actual use in a video game. I'm not really sure about Project Natal. Thoughts,comments,WRITE THEM HERE!!!

I think it's a fantastic idea...just the application in video games is questionable. The first thing I thought of when I saw milo was that something like that could be perfect for things like police/military training or even customer service etc....but as a game??? And thinking of ways to incorperate Natal itself into the games we already play conjures up images of Nintendo's failed powerglove.....You just can't see it working that well compared to what we already have.

We'll see how it goes.

Its a revolutionary idea. But its success REALLY depends on the way they might use it. It could go many ways.

But it has great potential regardless of anything. If used the right way, it could be a gigantic success.

Natal looks good, as long as it doesnt get in the way of controllers in certain games, im fine with it. If its successful or not, i couldnt care less.

its a good idea it can only make things better for the 360 and it wont be replacing anything so theres no downside to it and if it fails it will just fade to black.

It's going to come out and have a few games that no one pays attention to and then it's going to go away.

Natal is the equivalent of this--------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4gckfzSy0A

The program is called Camspace, and can be run on any game with any webcam, AND IS FREE. Natal is just a Camspace ripoff. The vid shows a guy playing NFS prostreet. Honestly sometimes i question myself as to y i even support microsoft by buying their games because they will always find another way to ripp me off.

Ironically, that's what most non-gamers say about video games in general.
