Wii is coming out with the motion plus and Microsoft has a new device which provides somekind of a virtual reality experience ... now I am not an avid gamer but the first impression that I am sensing from the Natal video is that it seems altogether a bit ... awkward - it's a pretty " out there " concept and everyone in that video just appears idiotic. Who's going to want to have a party with this involved? They might as well just have an imaginary tea party. Something is just not right with this Natal concept , a word of advice to the people at Natal ... please do not come out with a tea party game or anything like it.
How well is the motion going to be captured and how much more realistic is this concept from a computer camera e.g. one of those applications where you are able to bounce a beach ball around the computer screen with your live image embedded in it and how much fun will it be to play video games constantly walking and swinging your arms and legs at the camera - with the Wii it's just the arms but the whole body?! C'mon!
We are entering into some strange realm here , frankly I believe that a lot of people play video games for the mastery that comes with gaining a sense of control and for the rush that comes with being able to flow through the game with the acquired skillset , it's a lot easier to get this fix with an actual physical controller ... and this is where Microsoft went wrong - they got deluded.
