Lets discuss what I honestly hoped would never come forth to gaming within my lifetime.

This could change everything. It scares me.

if natal is done right, it will be unbelievible. if done wrong, it will be the eyetoy all over again.

I'm skeptical about the Natal, it looks really bad ass for sports games, but for games that I would normally play like first person shooters and RPGs, I would feel pretty silly acting out what my character is supposed to do in my living room.

ya, thats true, but what about fighters? that would be awsome!!

Fighting games would be bad ass. I'm more excited about navigating the XBOX live marketplace with no controller than actual games for the Natal.

This, but as you said it would be awesome if it were for fighters.

I'm really looking forward to The Beatles: Rock Band.

are you thinking minority report? cus thats what I thought of as soon as I saw it.

 

[great_kthulu]

sorry to double post, but anyone else think we should have ND xbox live party? play some halo3, gears 2 and such and talk about how awsome new CD is going to be!

If Natal was for fighters, I would beat all sorts of ass. I would LOVE that, especially if it was for a MMA style game. Vito, Imagine that. The potential would be amazing.

Make it official and Paul can do some preview growlies over the headset.

We should make an x-box live party once this comes out, and gang beat Milo to death so he can never impregnate some cyber girl with a cyber baby that would one day hunt us all down. Clearly.

Well here is the thing, for me at least. It would be cool for some experiences in game, however, mostly everything I play...I would prefer to have a controller for. Anything sports wise for this would be cool, but at the same time it brings it to the point of...you may as well be outside playing that sport, if you're going through all the actions anyways, etc.

The most compelling bit of this for me is the voice and facial recognition. The ability to pass things into game...and the fact that characters in game could be reacting to your facial expressions, how you hold yourself, and the tone in your voice.

That would be amazing, they should make a "game" that's actually like a trainer with MMA fighters. You can practice moves and takedowns and shit. That would be killer!

"Novembers Doom has to cancel their fall tour due to Natal related injuries. 'Dude yeah I smacked Paul the fuck down but cheap bastard had a coffee table!'"

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

Hahahahaha...

 

[great_kthulu]

nice

 

[Novembers Paul]

It needs to have some sort of impact suit too, where you feel the pain with you're hit. hahaha I'd buy a suit like that for everyone I know. LOL

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

See, I just see two people playing off the same console...and them starting to actually punch and kick each other in their small ass living room.

EDIT : If it was a mortal kombat type of game...I wonder how you would enter the code for a fatality. Kill them? Hmmmm.

 

[griev0r]

After months of waiting...they finally arrived, fuck yeah. This how I be rollin' dawg.

Got one of these ordered, should be here next week!

...yea I'm a huge race sim nerd.

 

[kleo706]

If the racing sim is too realistic, do you get arrested for that beer?
