Basically Natal could turn your TV into something like this (Note: Not Tom Cruise idiots):

 

[rokkolpo]

seeing is believing.

 

[mikecoulter]

Nononono, I love controllers.

 

[Jim Grim]

Ok...? I thought this was the original idea anyway.

 

[Hybrid Sight]

Awesome! I want my TV to be like that!

 

[Jaranja]

Bull-fucking-shit.

I love controller.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

You can practically do that with a modded Wii Remote, so I'm all for it.

 

[JaymesFogarty]

I highly doubt that anything could possibly replace a controller. Just think, in games like fps's how would you walk? Most families only have a few feet of free space, which is not enough to allow flailing arms and legs. Natal at most should be marketed as a pheriphal for games.

So, I'm paying 200 dollars just so I can change TV channels without the use of a remote? AWESOME!

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Sweet! I want one!

 

[fix-the-spade]

What a pile of horse shit.

It's not even out yet, Molyneux says it's going to change the world but he'd say that about freaking pop tarts if he had helped invent them.

It's not even out yet, it could be another virtual boy for all we know about it's real world abilities, a couple of tightly controlled E3 demos does not a success make.


As an asid, does the system decribed in that article remind anyone else of the radio on the Heart of Gold?

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

Can I turn the TV off by sticking my middle finger up at it? That would be fun.

 

[Gxas]

It'll turn my TV into Tom Cruise!?

DOWANT DOWANT!!!!!

 

[Doug]

(Note: Not Tom Cruise idiots)

You mean I don't get a free Tom Cruise with my Natal? awww.

 

[Superasil]

no, it wont. i like my controller. i will keep it. i will not use a motion sensing device ever.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Fuck that shit in its ear.

Push Milo in the lake.
