Well, I don't know how many of you have seen this (or have been watching G4) but this looks really awesome. I hope it works out half as well as they are showing.

I don't have sound right now but when I saw that asian chick jumping around I thought "this has to be good!".

anyway from what i can see this stuff owns the wii.. why use a controller etc when you can just use your hands and body.

although you can only wonder how good the reaction and accuracy of this becomes when you are playing graphics heavy games.. If they plan to make FPS or racing games for this kind of technology a good response time and accuracy is key and from what I could see there is a noticeable lag, not big but still...

Ok I knew it was coming - I am way more psyched for the live tv offering which hasn't been announced for the US yet but is coming because it was announced in the UK with Sky.

Back on topic - I have a wii played with it for about 20 hours total, it now collects mucho dusto. If I really wanted to be that involved in a game I would go outside and play tackle football with some little kids and plow through them like the whiny brats that they are, then spike the ball and celebrate like I won the superbowl. wink2.gif

am i the only one that didn't understand this bit?

anyway for some games, if this technology is advanced further it could be pretty cool, eventually reaching virtual reality or a holodeck tongue.gif

Ah, that's why I thought I posted this earlier. There are two threads for project natal.

My bad.
