TGS 09: Microsoft demos Natal for Japanese news station

Whatever you want to say about the Natal, you can’t deny that the idea is *fun*.

And you know what? Not every game has to be super serious and deep; sometimes a bit of silly fun is all you need.

Probabaly doesn’t sell becuase they pronounce it EK-SIBUCKS!

I am intrigued even though i hate the idea of having to move while i play videogames when i’m usually immobile and gorging myself on chocolate.

However i do believe that this is gonna sell like a mofo, kids everywhere are gonna scream for this one.

WOW…. It looks laggy and jittery and innaccurate. The E3 demo was way better. But I love the 80′s music.

But the steerign will always work as well (not) as the sixaxis, becuase it needs something pivot on… Not nothing.

Another need for physical feedback.

In the whole of human history, there has never been an interactive experience that lacked a tactile medium.

Just saying.

the voice over roughly translates into:

“Look at this stupid white American family of douche bags trying to use this crazy EyeToy thing for that console that overheats all the time”

classic.

I don’t think they’ve demo’d anything better than eyetoy yet. If this thing CAN do something impressive they haven’t shown it yet.

@JPickford

Agreed, the Eyetoy Kung-Fu game did all that sort of stuff and there wasn’t any latency between what I was doing and the image of me on screen.

I think MS got an unexpected response coming out of E3 and have jumped on this as a differentiator but the sad reality is that so far it doesn’t offer much more than Eyetoy and a PS2.

Ho hum… guess there’s no harm in them adding it to their collection of accessories.

When is Kudo going to take off douchebag glasses?!
