eugh project natal?

was on the xbox live forums, and stumbled across a thread where people were saying fable 3 might only be playable on this whole new project natal thing. i don't think that would happen tbh; it wouldn't be compulsory at least. but i nearly started off on a rant about it, because seriously, wtf?!

http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/news-features/news/Controller-free-gaming.htm

according to steven spielberg, "With 'Project Natal,' we'll see games that bring everyone together through technology that actually recognises us". what a load of bollocks! i hate this whole motion sensor thing that's clawed its way into gaming. but that was all fine; it was limited to the wii, more a party toy than a serious console tbh... but it will totally ****ing suck if xbox buys into it as well.

i definately won't be having anything to do with it, even if it means missing out on certain games. i don't want to be jumping and leering about my living room like a total gorm! what's wrong with the controller? good god! .____.

am i the only person that thinks this looks **** s:

There are a couple of things that make me turn away from Natal. For one, I don't feel like having to move around to play a game, I'm just way too lazy for that. Second, my room isn't nearly big enough. Third, I'd hate it if they pushed to get rid of the controller. My controller just feels so natural to me.

I won't disregard this as a possible excellent gaming tool, not until I actually read more about it or experience it for myself. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover.

I think the whole motion control thing will just be a fad. I really don't see how it will replace the precision ofa controller. Even with the wii mote, if you twist it in a bowling game, the ball spins, or take a cut swing in a tennis game, you can get some back spin on the ball. I just don't see how natal will sense that kind of stuff. I also like the video of natal, with the kid in a racing game with arms stretched out like they were holding a steering wheel. That would only last about 5 minutes for me.

As long as they keep considering the way we like to play(controller) I won't worry, but if they become like the wii with about 4 games used by controller, it will be either get in shape to keep playing(yeah you wish) or start playing only on PC(I think i'm gonna go with this one) and I believe playing alone with a wii or natal looks kinda stupid it's like begging to get some friends.

I think it will be great for navigating the dashboard,searching marketplace,sending messages,etc. but that is all.I play games to relax and jumping around like a 10 year old on crack is not my idea of relaxation.Not saying that it wouldn't be fun and entertaining occasionally but I really am not standing up for hours on end gaming when I would be quite comfortable and content sitting on the couch.Also there is a good chance that the motion sensor won't be able to register and track my movements due to the fact that I move so fast:P.I don't care if every game utilizes Natal,just as long as they leave me the option to still use the controller.One last thing....Natal + Beer = Trashed House:twisted:.

PETER is already said it is a controller base game when they first announced the game... so everyone went on screwing with his words and saying natal wont be in the game because he said it be controller base and bla bla bla....so peter had interview and the guy asked him question about natal the interviewer was trying push natal won't be in the game and that... Peter responded back back backing up his words "i never said natal will or will not be fable 3 all i said it will be a controller base game"

this is roughly translated from my memory's.... also from that don't judge if natal will or not be in fable but know it is a controller base game so from that info natal could be a option to be used for the game it could be option for the mini games inside fable 3 who knows? only lion head knows the truth atm

yeah, exactly, all points i agree with. the wii is undoubtedly fun, especially with friends, but it completely loses its novelty; most people i know who have a wii have it in a corner or up on a shelf, gathering dust by now.

and like others have said, sometimes i'll play games like fallout 3 for three hours or so at a time, and just want to cotch back in my beanbag. also, wouldn't it totally ruin the atmosphere of games like bioshock if you had to be doing weird actions and movements? or maybe it would make you feel more emersed in the game, idk, but personally, i think it would look stupid.

project natal is fair enough, if that's what you're into, but i'd hate to see it push the controller out. bungie already ruled out the new halo game being playable with natal, so that sort of suggests it probably won't get attract many proper games, much like the wii. i think alot of serious gamers would probably object to natal taking over the controller as well, so hopefully it won't happen.
