PROJECT NATAL
Xbox 360 is finally officialy coming to my country tomorrow with Need for Speed: Shift!
Every time i imagine myself raise my hands and race without a controller, i get more excited. (Eventhough it is not yet official if NFS:Shift is going to be compatible with Project Natal's motion control.) But motion control is only one of the things that Project Natal offers the player. As many of you have seen before in the trailers, you can scroll in the Dashboard by just swinging your hand, Playing a movie with just saying 'Play movie', Scanning your very own skate board and select it ingame, and then skate with it, Fight with your own hands ETC...

Go to this link for the trailer: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/puzzle/miloworkingtitle/video/6210712
I was really happy when i read several posts such as:
http://technews.am/conversations/slashgear/project_natal_unlikely_to_be_backward_compatible_with_existing_360_games
claiming that Microsoft comfirmed that the existing games will be compatible with Project Natal's Motion Control.
However, it is not official yet if PN is going to be compatible with the games that game out before PN either.
Even so, this will not be something that gamers will complain about if we consider the fact that impressive titles are coming out in these few years.
I was even happier after i read a post on Gamespot, it said that Epic vice president Mark Rein confirmed that the Unreal Engine will support Natal development. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6232564.html)
Wouldn't it be great to play Gears of War or any other shooter that Unreal Engine supports with Project Natal?
Has anyone seen Milo? ''The Virtual Human''? if you haven't, you should definitely check it out.

I don't think he has certain answers for certain questions, instead he actually looks like he states his own ideas!
If you watch the video in the linked in the post, you must have been really impressed. Especially when Claire drew a picture and held it to the Natal' eye, and then it scans it in less then a second and Milo takes the picture from Claire
and the part that Milo can't look into Claire's eyes when he is shy.
Natal also has facial and voice recognition, allowing you to just sign in just by standing infront of the Natal's eye.
As shown in the trailer, you can video chat with another user just by saying so!
I can't wait for playing RPG's, racing games like Need for Speed: Shift or shooters like Gears of War!
Although it doesn't look like Project Natal is coming soon, it already has drawn a huge attention and is already a must buy for not just the players of the Xbox 360, but all of the new consoles. That's right. Natal is going to be combatible with every console that has or will come out.
