The Burnout demo could not have been done with a webcam.

Project Natal will change the videogames industry, and I can't understand you - Microsoft haters - , I can't understand why you're so prejudiced against it, instead of supporting new ideas and progress. You are sad people, really sad.

No one is hating on it. There is a difference between being a SKEPTIC and being a fanboy.

Hello Fellow Gamers (HFG). Damn, Why don't you all give NATAL a chance before you pass judgment on it. All I hear from most of you is the " It can be done with Wii or PS3" or the standard webcam can do this. OK, then why hasn't it been done with either of them? Microsoft has Billions at their disposal to put behind NATAL R&D. You think SONY and Nintendo can match that? P..L..E..A..S..E.. It's not happening. Remember, Microsoft is much more than a console gaming company.
I'm glad to see motion sensing getting the attention it deserves. Microsoft has brought a lot to the gaming industry. Let's see what MicroSoft has done to help out the gaming industry.
1. Online gaming. They have the BEST online gaming. They've been doing this since Xbox1 days.
2. In game - Cross gaming voice chat text.
3. Custom music in any game.
4. Achievement points.
5. NATAL. Video/Voice real-time Conferencing. Motion tracking etc..

The other two companies are just following up on MicroSoft accomplishments. Granted the Wii motion sensing device has breathe new life with the wiimote. Like most of you stated "it has been done before", but again Nintendo went to a whole new level with it. MicroSoft just took the torch (so to speak) and are going even beyond what Nintendo and Sony are doing. So what? Let's see where they're taking it. Who knows,... you might just like it.

So you created an account just to come on here and tout how much Microsoft is leading the gaming industry?

"All I hear from most of you is the " It can be done with Wii or PS3" or the standard webcam can do this. OK, then why hasn't it been done with either of them?"

What does that even mean? It's Natal that has yet to show it can doing anything different or better than the PS3 & Wii. The onus is on MS to show us practical applications the other guys can't do which has yet to happen. Until that happens most gamers will remain extremely skeptical and thats the pragmatic approach.

Yep.

They are against it because a) It's Microsoft or b) They are Sony fanboys or c) They lack any imagination to see what Natal could be used for.

Sad, yes. Just ignore it. Small people with small minds.

@ chris:

"The depth sensor consists of an infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, and allows the Project Natal sensor to see in 3D under any ambient light conditions.[1][16] The sensing range of the depth sensor is adjustable, with the Project Natal software capable of automatically calibrating the sensor based on gameplay and the player's physical environment, such as the presence of chairs.[17]"

Where? Where are the tech demos that show everything that Natal can do? Please enlighten me. You say everything, so show me EVERYTHING that Natal can do. It can't, not alone. But show me these tech demos you say I need to be informed of, where the PS Eye, alone, which is the argument here, can do what Natal can do. Don't be an "ass hat" yourself chris. Effing bitch.
