NATAL is a add-on its up to the developers to decide how their games will look like when they use the NATAL feature with it.
Why is it that whenever anyone criticises the Xbox 360 or PS3, they're immediately and automatically dismissed as a "fanboy" of the other console? :|
I think some of you have missed the point of this guy's article - that Project Natal isn't as OMGUNPRECEDENTED as some people seem to think. Hardware specs and differences aside, Natal is a motion control technology that uses a camera to provide positional data. That's not something new. It may be a step up from the EyeToy, of course, but it's still just a step, not an entrance.
The really important - and interesting - bit will be seeing the software support.
Also, it's an opinion article. It doesn't have to be objective.
I think phoenix was referring to the removal of all Natal processing to the Xbox itself. This is going to impact the graphics potential of Natal titles.
http://www.vg247.com/2010/01/07/nata...360-cpu-power/“Natal has to work on the existing hardware without taking too much hardware processing away from the games developers,” noting that Natal consumes between 10 to 15 percent of the Xbox’s computing power.
Because crap like this usually is written by fanboys and clearly the writer has done little or no research into the subject matter, so he falls back on the age old console bashing method.
NATAL does not actually a camera in the strictest sense:
Project Natal” sensor.The “Project Natal” sensor tracks full-body movement and individual voices , creating controller-free fun and social entertainment available only on Xbox 360.RGB camera.“Project Natal” has a video camera that delivers the three basic color components. As part of the “Project Natal” sensor, the RGB camera helps enable facial recognition and more.Depth sensor. An infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor allows “Project Natal” to see the room in 3-D (as opposed to inferring the room from a 2-D image) under any lighting conditions.http://www.dreamstation.cc/news/news...ox-360-detailsMultiarray microphone. “Project Natal” has a microphone that will be able to locate voices by sound and extract ambient noise. The multiarray microphone will enable headset-free Xbox LIVE party chat and more.
So its a combination of a Sensor/Camera/Depth sensor and microphone, not just a simple camera like the eyetoy.
Well no one else has done this so its pretty new. Depth sensing/motion sensing and voice recognition everything in one package.
A good writer researches and studies the topic thoroughly before forming a opinion, and usually he tries to be unbiased as possible. If a article is not objective and only service to slander something then its not writing anymore but crap.

my apologies of i don't fap to technologies. i really don't care what it can or can't- have looked at the gow demo and what i saw was wii brought to xbox and that imho is pretty retared. keel me, but i liked to sit down and play games. if i want to go around fooling myself to be more interactive i would rather opt for the real deal. that is what ouside is for anyways.
really not going to cum in my pants because i can now move around my arms to for example saw down onto an enemy VS using the controller. when we can actually plug into the worlds; yes then i would fap too it. rather stick 3D glasses into my head

You seem to fap to games like Dantes Inferno pretty well. SO whats the difference?
GOW demo? I am not aware that Microsoft has released any existing games that sport NATAL support. Nor that they released and video material. And I think you should note the different between motion control (wii) and motion sensing (NATAL)
Well dont let me stop you from not coming in your pants.Really not going to cum in my pants because i can now move around my arms to for example saw down onto an enemy VS using the controller. when we can actually plug into the worlds; yes then i would fap too it. rather stick 3D glasses into my head
yes we want moar.
pffft. if memory serves correctly you were the n00b that shared the natal and gears of war demo link

It was a Natal and Half-Life 2 video and it was proven to be fake. Noob.yes we want moar.

Please quote the offending sentence(s).
You're simply confusing the issue here. NATAL USES CAMERAS AND OTHER STUFF TO SIMULATE MOTION CONTROL.NATAL does not actually a camera in the strictest sense:
HARDWARE MOTION CONTROL.
MOTION CONTROL.
Again, it's not something new. It's certainly taking the technology further than before, but hardware motion control is not something revolutionary in and of itself. I don't see anything in this article that moves outside this particular argument.
And neither I nor the writer of this article are saying it is. But it is related, comparable technology regardless.So its a combination of a Sensor/Camera/Depth sensor and microphone, not just a simple camera like the eyetoy.
Once again, it's very clearly an opinion piece. Opinion pieces are largely subjective. That's kind of the whole point. Accusing this article of slander is absurd, and honestly, it's the kind of thing a fanboy does.A good writer researches and studies the topic thoroughly before forming a opinion, and usually he tries to be unbiased as possible. If a article is not objective and only service to slander something then its not writing anymore but crap.
