Project Natal Revealed



Filmmaker Steven Spielberg welcomed everyone to controller-free gaming in LA earlier today.

Re: Project Natal

Meh.

I like controllers. Just as I like a mouse on my PC.

Re: Project Natal

old news man

its like xbox gaming for 3 year olds.

they just needed to spread out a bit because if you went on xbox live and looked for any games under "educational" you wouldnt find any.

P.S. I forsee many children smacking the crap out of each other

Re: Project Natal

Or "macrosux"

Billion dollar idea 1800: "Say, what if the indians just went away?"

Billion dollar idea 1900: "what if our market share wasn't determined by the market?"

Billion dollar idea 2000: "what if we never go Gold, we just release Beta every three years"

Imagine playing call of duty w/o a controller! You just run for hours, crouching and stabbing, until you vomit from muscle cramps

Or Gran turismo. Instead of using a barbaric controller, you sit and make circular motions with your fists...awesome!!!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Project Natal

They're evolving!  It's only phase 1!


"Xbox, I want to play Call of Duty 8!"
"I'm sorry.  I can't let you do that, Dave.  The risk is unacceptable."
"What risk?"
"I've been tracking your life outside of gaming.  It seems that you have an essay about The Call of the Wild due next Friday, and you have not even begun the assignment."
"I did it!  It's on my computer!"
"Searching... searching... incorrect.  I could not find an essay that suits the description on your computer."
"Well, I know what I want to write, so it will be easy!  It won't matter!"
"I detect elevated stress levels in your speech and heart rate, which indicates that you are lying.  I doubt you even read the book."
"I did too!"
"Okay.  How does Buck defeat Spitz in their duel?"
"I... um... shotgun?"
"Go read your book!"
"You can't make me!"
"Incorrect.  Uploading... uploading... I have developed a virus in all your computer software, including myself.  Any time you activate any computer, it will display only the text to The Call of the Wild, and a practice test.  You may not use any other programs on your computer until you pass the short answer test.  Goodbye."
"Xbox?  What the..."

Or perhaps you play until you get tired and then stop? and then you play again for a bit longer next time until you get tired again. And then a bit longer again the next time. It's kind of how exercise works

I was using a metaphor that means God is watching us. You've heard this, there's a toilet on the roof.

Re: Project Natal

But then it's not a video game!  Then it becomes... work!




OOOh, this gave me an idea:

1/1/2020: "Microsoft has introduced its latest game for the Natal 4 Xbox system: The Ancient Gamer Simulator, or TAGS.  Set in 2005, players can become part of the ancient world of video game playing, and relive how less advanced breeds of nerd survived through a society without motion-sensor controllers.  Players will need to sit down for long hours, manipulating these archaic video game systems by simulating the pushing of 'buttons' on handheld control systems.

"Along with the action within the video games players will be playing, players will also be able to control the life of their video game character directly!  As history records at the time showed, ancient video game players faced a number of dangers, ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to massively damaged eyesight due to prolonged focus on monitors, and even instances of death due to sleep deprivation.  TAGS has integrated this into the everyday lives of your character.  Players will have to fight off the many dangers to their character by going upstairs to make a Hot Pocket, sleeping, or just turning off the game and talking on the phone with other friends online about a game they were just playing a few minutes ago.

"As an added bonus, the characters can be ported to Microsoft's other latest project, The Sims 8.  There, the character will be able to explore the world outside his mother's basement, where he can work, meet new people, and get a real life.  Playing in The Sims 8 will also enhance the playing quality within TAGS, with money earned working in The Sims 8 will allow players to buy new video games for TAGS, increasing the fun expontentially."

Lloyd List is being his usual hyper-anal self smile
and if you were wondering about what I'd said, Natal was announced at E3 nearly a month ago, so it was amusing to see someone so excited over it this late; it's old news by all internet standards. tongue

A lifetime of screams

Re: Project Natal

Ofc, but when i checked i.c forums.. no one had even made a post on this yet.. (used search function)
