@Leech,

It wasn’t even Burnout. Kotaku found out that it was new code written for MS by Criterion. It was just made to LOOK like Burnout.

HUGE lag and not all actions replicated on screen.

Yes, Natal is the future. Not.

That’s one of the things I’m worried about most myself. The noticeable lag made Burnout seem almost unplayable during the demos. People kept crashing at almost every turn.

Aside from the lag – Natal seems great if you’ve got a nice big room to flap around in, but in my flat? With neighbours downstairs? It’ll be awkward. And 2-P games are almost certainly out of the question.

Also, I like the idea of your tiniest movements resulting in spectacular actions. I’d rather destroy a tank with a rocket launcher by flicking my thumb and finger, than have to act the whole damn thing out.

Full-body motion controls for the home seem oddly retrogressive. While technology has always aimed for the conservation of effort and for ease of execution, Natal – stunningly technically impressive, lag or no lag – is going in the opposite direction.

EDIT :

From what I see in the video , Natal just isn’t worth it the lag is HUGEE ! IMAGINE THE LAG on a real GAME!

We are not yet reaty for this kind of technology ready . Of course it will work , but not 100% the way it should ! And sometimes like the wii some actions you do with the wiimote or natal won’t work because of the lag :D
