CES 2010: Natal coming out this Holiday season photo

Natal is the latest attempt from videogame makers at making games less fun! Sorry, but I enjoy playing games with a controller in hand rather than throwing my entire body around.

Anyway, Microsoft has just announced that Natal will be available this Holiday season. And that's all the news we're getting about that. No word on price or what Natal will actually be named. We'll hopefully find out more about Project Natal by E3 this year.

Please don't ruin Halo: Reach by forcing in Natal silliness. I've already wept for poor Fable III.

Can I play it on my couch? If so, I'll look into it. If I have to flail due to inaccurate detection like the wii, no. I don't want to have to stand or do something that is uncomfortable either. I get plenty of exercise playing basketball and surfing, thank you very much. Hear that MS, no X fit.

Agreed. Let's leave the gimmicky shit on the kiddy's console and allow the adults to play like normal.

Hands free netflix. The phrase "honey, where's the remote" will become obsolete.

God, I hope so. I want to drown in the meltdowns. I wanna see a mass exodus to PC gaming.

What are the launch games?

As of now, nobody's gong to buy the thing without some killer app that only works with it.

Wii's cheaper too and already includes Wii Sports. What's the benefit of this thing over the Wii?

I find it extremely ironic that Microsoft got the jump on everyone by releasing the 360 first, and now they'll be the last ones by a mile to have motion controls implemented.

Well, good luck to them, but I still see this thing flopping.

@Loopholejumper

I can't wait to see people eat their words about the Wii when they see how much crapware is about to hit every platform equally.

I cannot wait until the moton control fad is over. Compulsory motion controls for games is akin to having to applaud/nod/laugh during a movie which will cease to run if you dont. Its a pain! Playing videogames is a sentient activity. Games need motion controls like fishing needs a pogo stick. I would prefer MS and Sony just let the Wii do its thing and invest their dollars on their own brand and products rather than riffing on someone elses. We'd have a nice split market then, with different things on offer on all three consoles.

A sentient activity?? How does sentience affect your ability to use a motion control?? In fact I'd love to see a nonsentient being do it. Maybe rob the robot??

Adjectives fail me (or I fail adjectives). I need a word for 'sitting in one place holding a controller'.

A "kiddy's" console is better than a console that doesn't work.

The closemindedness of people on the issue of motion control is terrifying - seems for people interested in computer technology there a hell of a lot of luddites who don't ever want to see change. I enjoy playing with a "traditional" controller as much as the next person but I'm not so inflexible as to insist on ONLY that as a means of user interaction. The joke of course is that many of the people here and furiously anti-motion controls on other forums have never even played on a console like the wii!

Doesn't matter because change is coming and all those so immature to want Natal and the Sony Wand to fail will get on board sooner or later regardless of the hostile reception they're giving it now.
