I just read about the possibility of Halo: Reach using Natal. I can't say i'm excited, the whole concept of Natal does not look at all ergonomic for FPS gameplay and to be honest, i prefer a good ole' fashioned xbox pad in my grubby mitts.

Heres the Linky

Heres hoping that Bungie don't go down this treacherous and risky path

I just adore pretzelzzz! The go great with mayonaise. MMM!

IF Bungie uses it Natal, they will make it epic. You people need to stop whining about every little insignificant thing.

Touchdown! Hit it Marines!!

Who said it had to be used for shooting? Thy could just implement it into a new-and-improved version of Forge for Reach. Or it could be used for squad command only. Or it could be used to replicate the Spartan Training that the candidates went through everyday, and we'd have to get up at 4am every morning, go for a 1 hour jog on the spot, do 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, link up with 2 other friends online and attempt to ring the bell... ok, not that last one.

I'm sure whatever Bungie decide to use Natal for, will be both fun and non-gimical.

I myself would actually love that, if ofcourse the option for the standard controller is there.
The idea of having a fake gun in your hand, pulling the trigger, kicking the covies ass BY YOUR OWN MOVEMENT is just epic!! I just hope the movement and sidestrafing won't be to hard.
Hhhm... annyone else feeling shiffers about a cover system??

Loyalty is all I have.

People need to stop judging Natal and Halo before it's even out or been shown, right now its a bunch of whiney people complaining about change, please give it a rest until we see a demo or something, then cry end of the world I don't care.

Well, i wouldn't call Natal an "insignificant thing" but i agree that if anyone can do it right, it's Bungie.

  • 07.01.2009 6:11 AM PDT

Not necesarily...
Natal is a new thing for every single Game Studio out there. The fact that Bungie met outstanding controller games doesn't mean they can make outstanding motion games. If you think they can you're just another fanboy to throw into that category.

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

The only way that I would see Project Natal useful, is if it's John's training with OCP Mendez.

again, just saying, facial and voice recognition is in the mix too, Natal isn't just a motion sensing camera, it can sense other things too.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Sounds pretty gimicky to me.

Question is, how could this be used well in Reach? Natal doesn't excite me all that much. Molyneaux is full of crap so the E3 demo could be less amazing then everyone seems to think it is.

Don't get me wrong, it could be an amazing technical achievement, but i'm not all that excited to be frank.

At that point I was talking about other things people on hear whine about.

How does that make someone a fanboy? Having faith in a gaming company to possibly make a grreat game is fanboy? I thought it was obsessive ass kissing.

Having faith in something isn't ass kissing
If you like Halo and you want the next game to be good no matter how they change it.
In the that interview HR said that they wouldn't change the control scheme that everyone loves already I dont understand why people want to shot a fake gun so badly, how would you run or move around and stuff it wouldn't work thats why they would add it in a different way still utilizing the controller game wont give up controllers for a really long time..

  • 07.01.2009 6:48 AM PDT

Maybe it won't completely use natal but instead use a gamepad and natal
maybe to control your character youll use a controller as normal but if you wanted to squad commands or something to that effect you'd just raise your hand and do a gesture like the ones used in the military?
it could be fun to swing your hand to the right and watch your friendlies flank the enemy or make a fist and have everybody stop shooting etc

Natal and all its features need to stay out of Halo.

Halo doesn't need motion control it would ruin the way the game plays.

Facial and voice recognition would be pointless. Halo has never been a slow tactical game so those features are not needed,

  • 07.01.2009 7:59 AM PDT

Dont run, You die tired.

I dont know what to think about it.
If it worked very well ( Bungie is capable of that) it would be cool.

  • 07.01.2009 8:22 AM PDT

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

Halo is the most played game on 360... And when natal comes out ppl will buy it for reach. so M$ will HAZ A LOT OF CSAH!1!1!!ONE!
