Why Natal will fail at FPS

I'm not a troll this is just a little joke, personally i will buy it when it comes out.

You and your friends just got Natal, so you plug it in and insert the COD CD. The first mission is listening to the army captain and shooting **** so u fire and and your like hella! this is cool. Than the captain tells you to go meet the General. Wait a minute, how do you move this thing? So u start running around the room, dancing and all, and nothing happens. Your stuck shooting sandbags.

- lol it was funny to me. cause rly how will we move in Natal? I mean all the demos i have seen are side to side movement, and/or the camera moves for you.

not just FPS, how will u move in fable?

I agree and not agree. I mean if it can sense ur brain waves, and u can tell it to move, than that is fine lol.

When I use Natal, do I have to tape my cat to the floor to prevent him from moving around and getting me killed?beekayjay

This has been a question of mine for some time now, and no one has answered. What would happen if I were playing and somebody got in range of the sensor?

Haha! I've got the same feeling with Natal as I do with the Wii remote: clumsy me will find a way to injure himself or his surroundings :P. I already karate chopped my own trash can playing the Wii. I can see myself backhanding the wall with Natal :P. DethSkematik

Natal is a big, crunchy bowl of failure just waiting to go down in flames.

Your point is about movement in general, which is why it won't be used for a lot of games.SaltyMeatballs

I really have absolutely no hype for thenatalor the wandthat are coming this year to their respective systems.

Motion controls are totally whack. The next real revolution in gaming will have to be virtual reality. Motion controls will never be all the way there.

It's amazing how some people think that Natal will be great for hardcore games. The point of Natal is to go the opposite dierection.

You have no imagination.

Walk

Run

Stop

Crouch

Voice to deliver the primary action. Head movement to determine direction/orientation. Whether they can pull that off well is one thing, but you lack imagination if you cannot figure how to move with Natal; at least theoretically.Or you don't know enough about it to realize that Natal is more than just a 3D sensing camera.

You don't suddenly yell "RUN!" in public when you want to run. You move your legs.

I'm not against voice recognition (whatever works). It just seems that it will be just as unrealistic as pressing a button.

With Natal, you would probably just use a normal 360 controller to move in an FPS. Nothing I have seen precludes the use of a controller along with Natal.

That said, I think Natal will be a flop.

Maybe you use your left hand and make walking movements with two fingers (your WASD/left analog). Your right hand (mouse/right analog) can be in the shape of a gun and you go PEW PEW with your mouth to make it shoot.

I agree and not agree. I mean if it can sense ur brain waves, and u can tell it to move, than that is fine lol.

It looks lame and I don't care how it works to be honest. Yeah I know I'm old and set in my ways, anyway I am interested in being able to navigate movie menus and the dash but other than that I really have zero interest in the whole concept for gaming.

Maybe if I'm lucky it will be great and the only thing negative to come out of my hardheadedness is I will be a bit late to the party.

I honestly don't see it being good for anything but party games, but we'll see.

Why do people assume that Natal will be the central control scheme in these FPS games? Personally, when I think of natal in an fps, I think of leaning around corners, ducking/crouching etc. There is no reason why I can't have a controller in my hands and use natal in a subtle way at the same time.

In addition, sometimes there just aren't enough buttons to maximize actions. Natal could help with that.

Wouldn't they have a nunchuck type of device that connects to the Natal wand? o.O
