Video: Project Natal invades Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

The camera probably would have tracked his massive fro as a seperate appendage and made the avatar go into seizures.

Yup, I read that is still in a big box device and doesn't look like that "model" camera example yet.

Bingo, exactly...why is it that so few see this?

I don't think this was actually made to get the hardcore gamers. I think it was made to get a wider audience of players like the Wii did. This will not replace anything, but will add to it.

I think a lot of people see it... but then a lot of people also see the word "Project..." meaning that it's still under development. So no it's not perfect ... but it's also NOT finished. I think most people are excited about the tech concepts and the "IF they pull it off" possibility. In theory, Natal has a lot of potential... it's got a combination of hardware and software that I personally have never seen put together in a device that's to be sold to the general public for a price that's probably not going to go above $100.

Oh oh, here we go again...

So yesterday you posted something horribly asinine, "Please ladies....keep defending this revolutionary technology"

And it occurred to me you're just like this loser named Kalpesh that lived down the hall from our apartment back in our sophomore year of college. He'd always say stupid things like "Hey pussies, what're you guys doing tonight?", "Whatsup queers? You guys going out?" or "WHAT UP pussies!? How goes it?"

Nobody liked him at all. And he was always an ass.

Was that you? Did you go to college at the University of Minnesota? Did you live down the hall from us? Or are you permanently trapped in a 14 year old's brain?

Just throw yourself in the river...for our sake.

wah wah MS sucks, sony does it better.....we get it already.

Personally, I don't think Natal is even being developed to replace the controll mechanism for games such as RPGs or FPSs ... we have the 360 controller for those games.

I think the goal is to bring in totally new experiences/games based around what Natal can do (hence the full body breakout game demo and the Milo demo) and provide an easier way to game to those that wouldn't be considered the tradional gamer (just like the Wii with its motion controls but it a different direction) .

You're not going to see games like Halo or COD being built to use total Natal controls. You might see them throw in some uses... like taking one hand off the controller to make squad guestures (like you would if you held a gun)... or giving out voice commands. In theory, it has a multiarray microphone so it can also be used as a hands free headset while gaming since it can block out background noise.

Also, the big difference between NAtal and PSEyeToy/Eye is that Microsoft has included a custom processor that is running there software directly on the camera and the device has a infrared camera built in that lets it detect 3D movement (tracking up to 48 joint points i believe). So you're getting depth tracking ... somthing is very important and hasn't been done yet with the PS devices without the new wands they're building.

Way to win the most useless post ever award.

Holy shit that was one of the more retarded things I've read in this blog. Your ranting had so much wrong with it I don't want to write an equally long rant just to show how dumb you are. Suffice it to say, you are incorrect.

You got the point!

Oh snap, I haven't been rickrolled in a while.

I think the reason they use Hulu would be because the video would be deleted from Youtube super quick, especially if they link to it and it gets a lot of hits. Maintaining the article using Youtube would mean they have to check it every hour or so to make sure the video's still up, and if it isn't, then they would replace it. Hulu is just easier to deal with because you know that it'll be accessed by some people all of the time instead of none of the people none of the time.

Of course, I have no idea if there's a Youtube channel for Jimmy Fallon yet and his stuff would be cleared, but still, there you go.

They really need to work out Hulu for everyone. It's a cool service.

Well put.

Why put up links that only a small portion of visitors can see? Please, its the internet - think globally. Put up youtube or nothing.

I see you're back to your immature idiotic ways... a shame you were better for just a few moments.

In any case, you've obviously mistaken what I've stated as I never complimented the surface, I simply said that things like the surface as used by the military and governments for their own reasons, will encourage advancement to things similar to what can be seen in cutscenes of movies and games showing off holographic capabilities for battlefields and tactics.

I did not even mention Halo Wars aside from a few particular cinematics to help you understand...

A shame I type on blind eyes.

it could be color coated, like a green screen. then it would only pick up that color. no?

Yeah. I'm sure it'd probably work. Just thought I'd throw some baseless conjecture Sony's way for the fanbois. ;)
