maxi-glasgow Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Watched the video this morning with Molyneux and it looked absolutely different class with Elo interacting with the woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Looks like that could be fun! I see lots of broken furnature in many houses around the country though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman uk Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Amazing bit of kit. with that amount of tech its probably gonna cost more than the console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I doubt it will be expensive , just a couple of webcams and a microphone connect to the 360 via USB , all the clever stuff will be software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It's not just a simple webcam or two, it's a specialist webcam and a depth sensor as it scans in 3d not just 2d. There is also processing power in the unit as well as software, but don't imagine it will cost more than the console though. I would imagine they will be trying to keep it under £100.

Gman uk Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 £100 would be a reasonable price. Shall put it on the xmas list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I read this with interest earlier - and came up with a couple of questions.. If you were using this to control an adventure game for example, how would you turn your character around 180 degrees? If you physically turn round, then you wont be looking at your telly anymore... If you were playing football, it could detect kicks etc, but again how would it determine direction of play if you cant turn your body away from viewing the screen? Will be interesting to see how this develops though, and it would certainly move toward making playing video games healthier, which cant be a bad thing. If only I had this controller available now for use with Call of Duty, I'd be fit as a fiddle rather than looking more like the pillsbury dough boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walbertonio Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do agree it's an interesting progression from the Wii, pc as a gaming platform sure is getting a hiding lately eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you physically turn round, then you wont be looking at your telly anymore... In a similar sense how do you detect that you want to walk through the game , you can hold a gun and point it but how do you fire it. ( dont suggest shouting bang bang ). One approach would be to have the a controller in 1 hand and use one side of it ( analogue stick and shoulder buttons) - bit of a pain to hold. Going from a joypad to the wiimote introduced some interesting dilemas and the natal will make people think of new interesting ways to do things.

Chris`I Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 What's wrong with just playing the sports for real?? That means going outside and getting sweaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper350Z Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am liking the look of this. A nice step forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 What's wrong with just playing the sports for real?? That means going outside and getting sweaty And having a social life, and not being an obese geek that can only interact with a screen.... Not all of you of course!

Ekona Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Estimated price so far is about $200, so you can call that £200 when it gets over here. Personally I'm not keen at all, as we all wowed when the Wii came out and now it's just full of the same old crap games (I haven't touched mine in about a year), and I fear the same shall befall my beloved 360. Besides, all I want to do is shout obscenities at Milo just to see what he'll do, not go fishing with the irritating little @*!#. Yeah, I got issues.

Chesterfield Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Having just watched a few of the videos on this, it is bloody amazing. The possibilities for the technology are really fascinating. Imagine bundling Call of Duty with a gun controller which does the firing and turning left/right and the natal technology sensing your aiming, crouching, laying down etc.... Ill almost certainly get one - and hope that the developers can think of new and additional wayd of making this work with true games like COD, Halo etc...
