    Impressive, but I'm very skeptical.
    Step inside your soul
    Find that place at its best
    On which to be whole,
    And apart from the rest.

    Project Natal is real, it's an attempt by MS to compete with the Wii but without input devices.

    Impressive demo, but I feel I have to run it through a Molyneux-speak translation filter

    Kind of like the things he said about Fable, or Black and White, which then turned out to be very nice games, but nothing really special.
    I want to live in this alternate universe T___T

    It's most likely a high level prototype only showing the potentials of it and to make a hype. The main purpose of this video is a sign for only one thing Vaporware.

    It is very plausible that this will happen but would you really want one?

    What games can you play on it? Chess? Tetris? Quake Live? Starcraft?
    Or just some time wasting


    There are many good things about this like having no controler, which lead to very poor game experience.
    #1. Controler lag.
    #2. Controler inaccuracy.
    #3. Too long configure time.
    #4. Too long learning curve of how to do specific movements in games, every game needs a walk through.. not just plug in and begin.
    #5. Difficult to play most games on this thing, biggest potential are time wasting activities like the sims, fishing simulators, cloud spotting simulators and cooking simulators, World of Warcraft, Diablo... etc. There wasn't a single actual game where wits and skills of the player are everything.
    #6. Video anomalies disrupt gameplay controlers.


    I'll be waiting for the next generation of this, this one is utter junk.
