Posted 2nd June 2009 in E3 2009, Microsoft Project Natal, Project Natal, microsoft, we are living in the future
If you watched/read/heard anything about E3 today, then you know that Microsoft was NOT playing around. In fact, they pretty much murked it. They’re getting Metal Gear (yes, they are) and Modern Warfare 2 is the biz.
But the super star of the show??
Project Natal.
Project Natal, in a nutshell, is basically YOU BEING THE CONTROLLER. It operates on full motion capture technology with no hardware required. If there’s a box to pick up, you pick it up. Gotta kick a can? Kick that shit. It’s that simple. This is most likely the future for all things gaming related and a dynamic uppercut to the ol’ Wii. The most interesting thing here will be just what kind of titles this Natal technology will bring. Software development kits supposedly went out this week, so you better believe that it’s gonna get crazy over the next few months. If all this isn’t enough, one Steven Spielberg even came out to say that Natal is, indeed, the shit.
Well, he didn’t say that exactly, but yeah.
Sony takes the stage tomorrow and I hate to say it, but they seriously have their hand full.
