Natal Compatibility and Practicality
June 30th, 2009
The Natal is not out yet for the Xbox and it looks like it won’t be out for sometime. Some people are predicting it could be as late as winter 2010. Who knows.
The big question is this, what games will be compatible with it? Most people who have seen demos of it are blown away by the technology and think that pretty much everything should be natal compatible.
The thing is when you sit down and think about it properly, is this practical? Take a first person shoot em up. In these type of games you often have to jump up kneel down swing your arms about quite a bit. I could foresee a few problems with that. One, space and two, with some of these first person shoot em ups these days it could be absolutely nakering. Games such as Halo are quite nakering games on screen. You make the gamer do the work and they will be quite exhausted after five hours of play time.
Hey its great idea and I think it will be great for helping to get rid of the couch potatoes, but there will be times when you don’t have the space or simply don’t have the energy.
It will be very interesting to see how the game industry embraces this new technology.
