Project Natal will succed

Reasons:

1) the new way to navigate menus, and you don't need the xbl vision to do video chats

2)there are already 5 games that are going to use it . These include Fable 3, Burnout Paradise, Milo, the shovelware pack, and the unannounced game from the new studio MS is putting together.

3) EA and numerous other 3rd party publishers stated they would support the Natal

4) the Natal will come bundled with the 360 giving you more bang for your buck

what do you think?

Natal has already failed.cheese_it

I think it'll fail. It's more of a gimmick for the casuals, and all of them already have a Wii. It won't have any real use in the hardcore gaming foundation, whihc is what the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are all about.

so true

Fable 3 wont support natal. (thank god)

Entirely dependant on software and price along with appeal. I have no clue at this point but I am compelled to say, moderate success.

Natal propebly will be used like SixAxis in those games, small optional things

Fable 3 wont support natal. (thank god)

this.

Fail. Why would you want to flail your arms to navigate menus?

It will be only used for casual **** games, like the ps3 thing.

They should seriously just stick to normal controlers, hope they don't go wii on the next gen.

You misspelled "sucked".

;)

Yes because the history books show that console add ons are always successful

Fail. Why would you want to flail your arms to navigate menus?

I am a huge fan of motion controls, and I don't see it suceeding...

I personally feel the naming is kind of odd. It reminds me of prenatal...

[QUOTE="cheese_it"][QUOTE="mayceV"] thanks for your outstanding input. would you care to elaborate on the keen insight of you hypothesis?8Tango

Post made my day lmao

Best post of the entire day. :lol: :lol:

if thats the case you are just easily amused. like a child for instance.

or i just didnt find it funny at all. like a 30 year old man.

Yes, your grammar and not trying to insult younger people who find something funny clearly lead to you being a 30 year old man.

i think Natal has a chance at success but it depends on the price and functionality. if its too expensive they may as well forget about it. i sure hope my post can meet the high standards of the Grammer Police.

1) I honestly don't see why using hands to navigate menus is desirable nor easier. Is clicking a button so hard or take longer to do?

2) None of those listed are impressive

3) EA is hit and miss on many games. And support may simply mean one or two games.

4) Is natal going to be bundled free?

Also, keep in mind Nintendo really knows how to reach a family/casual audience (they named their very first console 'famicom', which is short for 'family computer'), and they are really connecting with this audience both DS and Wii wise. Looking at some of those casual games for Natal, I think they MS still doesn't quite get it.

Natal will fail and so will Sonys. True gamers dont wont worthless motion controls.djsifer01

No controller, no thanks. Natal is just another means of dumbing down games for casual lesser gamers.

The effing thing is, WHY DO MOTION CONTROLS HAVE TO BE JUST FOR CASUAL GAMES?????? That's my problem with all this nonsense is that Sony and MS seem intent on marketing these peripherals for more casual, social applications.... No wonder the rest of us find all of it lame. Give us a kick ass Star Wars Jedi fighting game or a Lord of the Rings Conquest-like game and then you'll get our money and attention.beekayjay

It's obvious you are very interested in motion tech and want it to succeed, but there are because some so called "Hardcore" gamers think they're cool simply because this doesn't appeal to them will simply rag on and think automatic fail with actual little thought in to how it will fail and ignore the information given to them on how it will work, the time and money spent on this and the overall positive reception Project Natal has been receiving.

Some find it lame because of that very reason and are to stuck in the past when it comes to accepting new technology. I would think that gamers would naturally be at the forefront of technology and more accepting then the more "Casual" observer but I think it's more ignorance and fear that gives them this attitude.

Remember this is fairly new technology and the potential for motion technology substantially integrated and complementing your more conventional games is there.

It will no doubt suite a lot of the more simply games initially, but does not necessary make them NOT fun and oncedevelopers have found ways to make more use of this technology you will see more games make use of it in very interesting ways.

It takes creativity and persistance, not pessimism and lack of imagination to push gaming to new levels.

Actually that's the actual attitude for all technology in general, because if that was not the case we may all still be playing Pong with a 1 button stick.

Then we'll be wondering how we managed to play games with out Motion technology.

Natal will succeed when a street fighter for natal comes out, and you can kick butt online against other players with it.

It could also be quite cool in 1 vs 100.

Succeed at dumbing down controls so grandma can play, maybe, but what gamer really gives a crap!!!! it will never be used in a tournament, or for anything serious or hardcore, which is all that really matters to actual gamers. Silly controls that actually lose detail, speed, and accuracy in the hands of players is a major fail

nah, it'll fail*looks at xbox 360*i love you just the way you are!anyway, anyone who wanted motion controls have a wii.and casuals only get 1 console each gen. *looks at wii**pats wii on the back*you're THE revolution.
