I gotta say I'm very impressed with the demo video.

this seems unreal, I'd like to know of voice recognition would work for the worldwide languages...

Your voice pattern, facial pattern, your complete body biometrics, your fashion style, music interests all your friends and contacts every single scrap of personal information both visual and audio including the layout of your living room being stored on Microsoft servers! Sounds wonderful! HOW F*&KING BLIND AND STUPID ARE YOU PEOPLE!

Hmmm "x x" seems a bit mad.

What do you think they will copyright your soul? Relax....it's just a new toy. If you don't like it, go with Sony's machine. It doesn't have motion capture....oh...wait...it does too.

easy they say? will this actually make game developement easier?

Wow... That's impressive.

X X so the 360 is going to collect information on us like in Orwell's 1984. I see it will be targeted advertising. Like, seems like Ms. Jones has a frayed couch, let's put up some American Furniture Wharehouse ad that scroll across her son's Halo lobby.

Anybody got a link to that demo of Burnout Paradise? Is it like of someboy playing?

There are no videos of the Burnout demo, though I imagine the mock-up gameplay from the teaser video is pretty similar.

I'll wait to see actually in a game footage rather than pre rendered crap. If you cant actually show it working why should I care.

However I suppose if it works well then theyve just shut down the wii for good.

I do like the possibilities Natal poses, but I don't think every game translates well to that type of controller interface. For instance the racing game, how long before your arms get tired of pretending your holding a steering wheel. The key will be matching the controller (Natal) to games that really showcase it's capabilities. And combined with other peripherals it could be fantastic, but by itself, lets wait and see. The most immediate place for an improvement with Natal right now would be a dashboard interface makeover, that would be sweet, not to mention something unique to Microsoft. That alone could dub Natal a success if done right. Imagine RPG conversations (like Milo demo), this could really be big. Can't wait to see what the developers can do with it.

I agree that this will not be able to replace the controller, but it could definitely supplement it. I think there is a large amount of precision that you can only get with your fingers/hands. Also, in the past, recognition software does a lot of work (with less than perfect results), so I am worried about latency issues.

True, voice recognition had been somewhat piss poor in the past, but I did like the way it worked with End War (the voice recognition not the game). So it is feasibly possible, especially if the system can recognize nuances in pitch and inflection. But again let's see what pans out.
