Yesterday we discussed a little about Microsoft Xbox 360 and its Project Natal, which was announced yesterday at E3 2009 press conference. The software giant has not yet announced a released date. This new system is Microsoft’s answer to Nintendo’s motion controller revolution, and I have to say that Microsoft will not have the edge once the Project Natal is released.
After the conference had concluded, G4 had a little conversation with John Schappert, Microsoft’s gaming executive and corporate VP. He was not giving anything away, and if he knew the release date, he was keeping it very close to his chest.
Schappert did say that Microsoft is not ready to announce a release date just yet, but G4 expects it to be some time later this year. Project Natal is unique for the Xbox 360, as it will do away with the controller, features will include an array microphone, depth camera and an RGB camera.
We will inform you of any new developments once we know more

…..uh….most amazing thing I’ve seen. It is a WII killer. If it works as well as it is advertised ( and I suspect it does due to Steven Speilberg and noted journalists that say’s it does ) it has endless posibilites - Blew me away!!!!
OMG!!! THIS IS REALLY THE BEST THING YET!!! but how would you like shoot on cod4/5 because there no trigger?, if you do the action as if shooting that is AMAZING!!!
THIS IS THE BEST THING YET, ITS A NINTENDO WII ALLOVER BUT A BILLION TYMS BETTER! SOME SOURCES SAY IT WILL BE CHEAPER TAHN WII AND BETTER, I HEAR IF U BUY AND X-BOX RRP. THEY GIVE ONE FREE, SO PROJECT NATAL ITSELF SHOULD COST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF A RRP. XBOX!!! CANT WAYT TO FIND OUT MORE!!!
CANT WAYT!!!
I’m pretty sure that with all that Microsoft have planned for the Xbox 360 will quite easily give it the edge over other consoles although admitted we have still yet to see what Sony’s plans are..
but i think with companies like Facebook, SKY, Twitter in partnership with Microsoft i don’t think sony could offer much really..
as with using Project Natal for games like Halo 3 and other preciously released games i imagine it would be a case of just a string of game updates to allow current games to make use of the technology
OOOohhh this is gonna be a good few years for us 360 gamers
MAN THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!
I CANT WAIT UNTIL ITS RELEASED SO I CAN ENJOY THE 360 WITH NO CONTROLLER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!!!
w0w when i saw E3 yesterday i thought PS3 kicked ass
when i saw natal i was impressed
best thing yet
2 new halos are coming out tp
this game is amazine!! i thought something this good wouldn’t come out until 25 years from name!
in other words this is broke for ps3 fuck them they fail and anyone who has a ps3 can stuck it up their ass
this LOOKS COMPLETLY AMAZING!! i cannot wait until it is released. The one qustion i would like to know though is if it applies for all games.
One of the games i would like to know most about is if it works for Halo games, or other shooting games.
This still looks AMAZING THOUGH!! i am still so excited for its release!!
i dont think they will make it for like the games like Call of Duty or Forza or Halo or Mx vs Atv i think all the games that will come out for Natal will be fun beacause of the motion controlls but if you used a controller they would probably suck..like wii… wii sports would suck if you playd with a nonmotion controller… i hope they come out with a few games that are shooters or racing games for Natal but i still want to play xbox360 games like they are now….i dont want all the good games to focus on making crappy games for natal…but still NATAL LOOKS FREEKIN AWESOME AND IMA BUY IT THE DAY IT COMES OUT!!!!!!
FINALLY !!! a place where i can train all my sports with real players throughout the world and not bots. this is one of the reasons i love Xbox, they surprise us all the time. it shouldn’t be too expensive but i’m guessing there will be special games needed for this cuz u cant play cod4 and dodge bullets lol cod doesn’t allow that… if u get what i mean and NO MODSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This won’t be any good for hardcore games like Halo or COD, but it will be fun to just mess around with. Like a Super punch out, Virtua fighter kind of style. I must say though, im more excited about the Sony Controllers. Just because its actually going to do what the wii was supposed to. Jedi Lightsaber duals anyone?
