The Opinion On Project Natal
If you are at all into your video games you will know that this winter marks a revolution in the way we play them. If you are uncertain on this then here is what it is.
You Are Actually The Controller
This will allow gamers to play without any controller at all and this is the unique selling point of the upcoming Project Natal. Nothing at all needs to be attached to your body so if for example you see a ball, you can hit it, kick it, trap it or even catch it. All you need for this is to be able to move around and have a good time, that’s it!.
It would certainly seem that one of the most important things when it comes to this new hardware is going to be voice recognition, players are going to be able to react with the game like never before.. It has even been speculated that there will be online quizzes with voice recognition.
Rival companies such as Sony have stated that this is nothing more than the technology that they invented 8 years ago (the eyetoy) but it is much more than that, it recognises individual humans, it maps 3D and has better movement recognition, this is a major step forward to virtual reality and this is not a cheap toy by any means.
I am not sure that something like Halo would really work out for something like this and I have not seen any major games announced as of yet. Fable 3 is going to have some compatibility with Project Natal but it has not been said on just how mch.
Microsoft have already stated that older edition of the 360 will all work with Natal but I would still expect them to be releasing an Xbox 360 to come packaged with this.
Although many of the new Xbox 360’s are not overheating it is safe to say the old ones are pretty unreliable which is why you should get something like dehumidifiers. I have even tried cooling mine down with a portable air conditioner but a dehumidifier works best.
