Kinect (previously Natal)

Also, it's compatible with Facebook. Not really sure what that means but there you go, it's compatible with Facebook.

It will automatically upload pictures of players during their "best" performances.

What is this and why is the guy copying what the guy in game is doing?

The Star Wars game is thought to have been canned animation copied, not played Live

It's like an old episode of top of the pops! but with whole body instead of just lips.

Scanning items now requires a barcode? may be the loss of the built in processor maybe

The eurogamer hands-on mentions the developers...

So now you know what Rare have been up to...

[Brats]

Hmmmm.

I'll hold off final judgement until after the E3 event, but.....it's not looking good is it? And I was one of the most enthusiastic people about Natal.

Nah that's a tag, readable from iPhone and other smart phones with the relavent app

Did they announce the developers for any of the titles? I mean, I already know most of them, but it would be nice to be able to actually talk about it now

Dance Central - Harmonix
Kinect Sports - Rare
Kinect Adventures - Rare (Kudo is involved in this one)
Your Shape: Fitness Evolved - Ubi
Joy Ride - Big Park

Sure that the first two have been tied to those games, others I aint sure about.
Sure they will come out throughout today.

IF its cheap it could do great numbers, we are not really the target market

[Flabio]

Hmm, surprised no-ones mentioned who's doing Kinectimals...

Turns out its so when you buy the animal and scan it in it unlocks like the cards in viva 2

150ms lag on top of input lag. That's not great.

Also, lol @ the games industry peeps in these threads, surely reading these posts is like poking a boil.

E3 will be very telling. The target audience doesn't already own a 360, so it is the price of the entire 360+Kinect package that is the important thing here.

The target market might have one in the house, but MS want that to move from the teenagers bedroom into the living room as a family console
