Bungie: Natal wouldn't work with Halo controls

[Black Mantis]

I doubt we'll see any of the major shooters using Natal. Too risky.

Completely agree with the guy!

Implement Natal where it is an integral part of the game design rather than shoehorning it into a game as a gimmick to cash in on a new fad!!

[Obscure_Metaphor]

personally i think the most intelligent use of natal would be to keep the 360 controller involved, and use natal for more story based elements such as characters being able to see what kind of mood you're in, and maybe even actually having to talk to characters, ala milo, just without the characters caring that you're sat on the sofa in your underpants.

the advantage of natal is that it can do as much or as little as you want, and can still involve the traditional pad. think about it, in a game like Need For Speed Shift, you could be sat playing the game like you normally would, but it could analyze your head movements and subtly add it to the game experience.

The ability to tap involuntary feedback will be able to work with any game. the science behind facial expressions is detailed enough that it could be used to gauge how scared or excited you are, tailoring the game to your current mood.

We could even be playing gears of war 3 online, where the characters face resembles yours and moves just like yours when you speak.

Head-tracking psuedo-3D

Not controlling the motion, just the view. You would never need 3D glasses.

and the gaming world does not revolve around halo either.

It would of been interesting, but why change an already fantastic formula.

Dosn't work with a pad either.

Mouse and Keyboard FTW!
