Project Natal

Going off the last post about Sony's PlayStation Move, now I am going to tell you about Microsoft's new installment.  It's called Project Natal (PN), named after the Brazilian city, Natal.  The word "natal" means "of or relating to birth", showing the thought of PN being "the birth of the next generation of home entertainment." (taken off of Wikipedia)  PN has gone past the technology of both the Wii and the Move with motion sensing games with controllers, to absolutely no controllers at all.  With PN, there is a camera that watches your every move and incorporates them into the game as you control what your character does.  It also have both face and voice recognition so it knows to only watch the correct person.  I'm not a total expert on it so I am going to stop talking before I say explain something incorrect (kinda like what I did for the PS Move).  Check it out for yourself at http://www.xbox.com/en-us/live/projectnatal/.

  1. somebody's behind on posts again...that's okay. It's not like I have a blog that I update frequently yet alone a blog so..I guess I shouldn't be so picky about yours. I just think especially with your new job and game system, you have plenty to update your dedicated readers with.
