what the hell is paris hilton doing on my lawn?

It's really pathetic to see people still catering to actors who don't know jack shit about games test run this stuff. Be it for more publicity, word of mouth to casual gamers, or just to see them be completely stupid at something that isn't so hard.

at any rate, real steering wheel over air wheel. I'm not gonna make my hands/arms rumble when I hit the dirt. Air can't implement that. I also hope people don't start thinking this will become the standard later. if so, gaming is only going backwards.

@Shin Oni These are not really directed toward "core" gamers. The impression I came away with was they were having people who do not traditionally play video games interact with a virtual world, what to them, is a more natural or organic way.

What the fuck is wrong with Paris Hilton's face? She looks like a ketamine-addled prize fighter who just fell asleep in a ditch and now a cop is shining his flashlight in her face. For fuck's sake if we're going to have random pictures of slags on the front page of dtoid then could we at least have attractive ones?

What are they blurring out on the table next to the 360 & that black thing?

Paris Hilton always looks goofey.

Man, they're not convincing me at all. It "feels real"? What feels real? That NOTHING you're holding and hitting?

Anyway, it looks fun enough. Though I know my casual tier Mom (by their standards, anyway) would want nothing to do with what Felicia Day was playing after a busy day.

Natal = stupid.

Fuck this whole "casual gamers" bullshit. Gimmiky shit for granny to play with? My Balls. That's right, your granny, my balls.

I could not give a fuck less what these vapid, talentless, media whored, celebrity, "Faces" like or don't like. i'm a gamer and Natal looks shit for me.

Microshaft is the whore of gaming. They did well monopolising the PC market, but now they've jumped on gaming and are whoring themselves to anyone with a buck they think they can get their hands on.

Natal is for cocksuckers.

@Sexualchocolate
I'm guessing you think that the PS3's motion sensing is the saviour of the industry then.

Don't take SexualChocolate's bait.

We know he's a dumbass, ignore him and he'll go away.

So it's a next-gen Eye Toy? Impressive.......or not

I'd actually like to get near her actual leg. its weird.

I like how they demo it in front of a pure white brightly lit backdrop as if people will all have that in their homes.

Ok, so basically I try not to post comments on stuff like this, but to refer to me as a person who has "nothing to do with gaming" is inaccurate. I write a web show that is about gamers, and gaming is what I do when I have spare time. I love gaming and have been doing it since Infocom text games when I was like 6. My show is sponsored by Xbox now and I weaseled my way in to demoing Natal. Wouldn't you? ;) I thought it was really fun from my short time playing and that's my experience, take from it what you will. We'll see what people develop for it, I personally would love to be sending spells out with hand gesture, although miming an air car wheel is kinda weird looking. I didn't get to try that when I demoed.

One thing I do appreciate in the article is the upgrade: I consider myself way lower on the Hollywood totem pole than B list. More like D. Or F.

And yes Velt, I have small boobs. Thanks for not holding it against me. LOL.
XOXO
Felicia

err, i meant first pic. fail-edit

THx syvergy! Didn't meant to jump down anyone's throat, but that's kinda a trigger point for me, haha. I appreciate you watching, we're doing season 3 now!

destructoid, you are sexy enough to attract celebrities to post on you.

felicia, you kissed nathan fillion in dr. horrible's sing-along-blog and i don't know if i'm more jealous of him or you :/

I admit, I think the Wii has revolutionized this industry in applying motion sensitive games to become standard.

It may not have revolutionized it in a way I appreciated, but it did revolutionize it in that people are now playing games like they would sports.


I like to keep my sports and my games separate, all the same. But then again Nintendo is doing what they're doing for a reason and you got to respect that, meaning they actually have a concept that works.

Natal is in a way the next step up. I'm concerned some of the original games will be things like Bowling Alley simulations, but at the least, it will expand what is possible in video games and could change how you play games. It may be just tech but the ideas are there that could change games.

Problem being is there is likely a lot of out of shape kids and the like on Xbox Live who will despise using it, even though the exercise is honestly the best idea, and also it seems to be targeted towards casual games where it won't change the experience of a long drawn out rpg or something else that much.

It could eventually change how you play something like Oblivion in a few years, that alone is worth it to find out what's next. It won't replace the Wii. But I never realized how many games the Wii actually has, and it's impressive, even when most of those are different kind of games.

who the hell drives with an invisible steering wheel? looks very awkward and patchy. tech is interesting, but my guess is there will be maybe three 'eye toy' type releases and nothing much else.
