im prettty sure thats not going to happen

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

ACTUALLY there is a video on XBL marketplace that shows Natal being used in Burnout Paradise (A game that came out like 2-3 years ago). This means that it is possible for all games to be compatible with Natal (even Halo 3, MAYBE even Xbox games like Fable, Halo CE, or Crimson Skies).

i don't think thay will becuse you may have to say "fire" whe you want to shoot a brute/elite ( as it is before the original game ]so there may be no brutes as there is no elites i the upcomeing halo 3 odst) in the face
but it would be fun to beat the crap out of a brute/elite or get into a fist fight with a marine/spartan (asuming it is a precual or how ever it is spelt)

"Say Fire!" no, they will likely have you curl your finger like pulling a trigger to shoot. (In the burnout Paradise video, you controlled gas with your right foot, brake with your left foo, and held an imaginary wheel, turning like a wheel to turn the car.

i'm not saying natal doesnt look cool, but so did the wii when it was first coming out, and look at it now. many of the great games for it, mario kart, super smash bros, are more fun to play with a gamcube controller. i'm hoping the same mistake won't be made by microsoft or bungie. the wii ruined the new metroid with the impossible aiming system, but natal looks like it may be better then the wii... ahh we'll see.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Sure is possible to incorporate it into Reach. Whether or not it is successful is a different story. We've become more and more lazy with the increasing video game technology (arcades to sit at home consoles) and here comes Natal that'll make us get a little exercise. We'll see if Natal can counter 30 years of game technology.

For gameplay Halo Reach should use a controller, however I think it would be neat to use Natal in Forge.

Every Natal thread...

Just have small movements magnified by your player. You yourself turn 30 degrees and your digital player will keep turning until you face forward again.

Got anything else?

I've heard the same though I don't know how it will work but I do know that I will suck at it...*optimism*

  • 07.29.2009 4:58 PM PDT

I'm pretty confident that Bungie wouldn't incorporate natal features unless they were sure it was accepted by the community (which is looking like a no so far). If what they said is true, Reach will be their last Halo project. I'm sure they wouldn't take such a drastic chance that could end their legacy poorly.

You must have been bad, Metroid Prime 3 was TOO easy if you ask me. And that was one of the only games where the Wii controller was really sharp, and easy to use.

Now here is the Deal, Natal is being designed FOR games, not vice versa. Like I said, they were playing Burnout Paradise, a TWO OR THREE YEAR OLD GAME with Natal.

It will probably just be used to make navigating the menus easier because it does have a voice system. Maybe a new way to Forge?

Absolutely for menu navigation.

1st off, Natal doesn't use suits. It uses cameras. 2nd off, step forward, and you move forward, step back again to stop moving, step back, left, or right and you will do all that other stuff. The game will be quite simple. Hold your hands like a gun, look left to turn, look right to turn, look at the screen to stop turning. I could honestly see players using Natal being far more effective than a controller. Faster reaction, more control. Your just all babies afraid of change :P

Hello

i dont think natal would work well with shooters

by the time you make the motion for a grenade youll be dead

You don't understand the way it would work do you? No you don't. Besides it would be an OPTION, just like how with the Wii, you have an OPTION. And still, reaction time and reflexes will be improved alot by a system like this.
