PM me any Coup questions you have.

Project Natal, as most everyone now knows, is a new level of gaming, where you are the controller. No longer will you need something in your hands. I read up on this, and Microsoft said it would be released sometime in late 2010. This is around the same time Halo Reach will be released. So my question is, will Reach be one of the first few who will incorporate this new gaming style? Will we be able to hold our very own imaginary gun, and shoot at Covenant and what not? I think this would be HUGE if this really did happen. I'm not saying for sure it will, I just hope that it will truly happen.

Thoughts?

I would like to see Natal being used in Reach but alot of people prefer the controller.

I guess you could still keep the controller for shooting and stuff, but now in Halo Reach, you would be able to dodge bullets and 'nade that whiz by your face.

No.

Maybe motion capture for machinima?

I think it would be cool to see what it would be like without a controller. That is of course if Reach uses Natal.

The Halo Reach Beta will be released before Project Natal is.

Thus, I can say with 99% certainty that Reach will not REQUIRE Natal. At least, not for something like Matchmaking.

Also, this > this.

For machinima purposes I could see Natal being very useful. For actual gameplay purposes however... I couldn't picture it being too fun.

I would love Natal for Forge in Reach.

Screw control sticks, I could orient pieces with my own two hands, carefully.

I thought Harold Ryan said that they might be able to incorporate some aspects of Natal into Reach. I doubt that it would be required if they did include it. You could probably do just as well if not better with a controller.
