EyeToy: Kinetic

I don't know if there's an "EyeToy Talk To Imaginary Friend" game out there, but I stand by my assertion that this is an EyeToy competitor, and not a Wii competitor.

So this Project Natal camera has no official name, no price, and no release date.

Basically it's the 360's "Vista."

It'd be easier if you just said you hate everything not related to the Wii.

It'd be easier if you just said you love everything Microsoft.

Seriously, this is as much "motion controls" as the EyeToy is. Hell, the Sixaxis is more "motion controls" than Project Natal.

Might as well change the thread title back to "The New XBox LIVE Experience." I eagerly await dozens of posts extolling the virtues of motion controls, 4 years later.

You're right. I've been making XBox fanboy posts all day. Heck, all year. Go dig 'em up. I'll wait.

You're the one who decided to break out the ad hominems. Whether I can dig up your own posts doesn't change that fact that calling me a Wii fanboy does not refute my arguments that Project Natal (a) is a souped up version of the EyeToy, and (b) is designed to compete with the PS3, and not the Wii. If Microsoft was going after the Wii, they would have unveiled their X-mote wand controller developed last year.

I hope the Natal camera can do something unique for gaming. It has that potential. But putting out "Wii Sports without the remote" isn't going to cut it.

Feel free to dig up some posts where I talk about the Wii to support your fallacious, illogical argument. I'd say I'll wait, but I don't really care enough to bother.

You're both doing it wrong, anyway. This thread needs more PS3 info. :P

This is much more advanced than the EyeToy because it has depth perception (something WiiMotionPlus is adding). I think it's interesting how it seems to recognize human joints. Serious question - how does the Sixaxis have more motion controls than the Natal?

It looks a little hokey, but honestly, I think we need to try it before we pass too many judgments.

Oh and lets tone it down everyone. :wink:
