Natal: how the heck are you going to wal ...

Do I have to walk around the house to make my character walk around in the games? What if I have to walk 50, 000 feet across a level and I only have 6 feet of space in my house?Natal: how the heck are you going to wal ...
Stand still and pretend to walk...Natal: how the heck are you going to wal ...

this, it seems that is what is going to happen to walk.
Buy a treadmill
I figured leaning would work quite well. I mean it works with a skateboard so why can't we just use it in an FPS. I lean backwards and i runn backwards and vice versa. The only problem i could find about that is that you may not mean to lean, but you do or because leaning backwards is not the easiest thing to do while focusing on a game you may end up falling over.Also you could just lean or upper body and not your lower making you be able to stand parallel to the tv rather than stand like a skateboard to it (meaning shoulders facing the tv).What i would though is if it can see small enough movements like finger movements. So if i was palying an fps can i pull back my finger to shot the trigger. I hope it can because that would be awesome.

lol Sorry I'm just picturing myself running backwards on the spot in my living room and trying to shoot an ememy with my invisible gun at the same time.



I think this will be good for party games but it hasnt been thought through very well for actual gaming purposes.
i would go with pretend walking as my best guess. Gonna be interesting to see how online FPS's play out though, how would you shoot your gun?

Turning your head could turn the screen (i don't mean turning it so you can't see the screen, but enough) or they could pull a Wii and make it so when your gun points close enough to the side it turns you.
Just lean forward and try not to fall down.
Ok, how stupid are people going to look playing with this thing.
[QUOTE=''Murj'']Just lean forward and try not to fall down.[/QUOTE]lol I know. The demo looked cool for party games but I dont think MS thought this true for its application in actual games.
[QUOTE=''DJ_Magneto'']Ok, how stupid are people going to look playing with this thing.[/QUOTE]ya, but think about the fun you'll be having, unless they pull a Wii on us and make all the game railsliders that move for you, and all you have to do is move your hands.

:P[/QUOTE] Nope, I envisioned some sort of massive track ball we would run on...it would work well! :)
[QUOTE=''xscott1018''][QUOTE=''VinxVince'']Stand still and pretend to walk...[/QUOTE] this, it seems that is what is going to happen to walk. [/QUOTE]actually no. The game will guide you, just like the skateboard controller for the new tony hawk game. You'll have control over the steering.
I don't know how you will go forward and backward, but to move left and right you use your hands. You just put your right arm out to go right and your left arm out to go left.

Win.



But yeah, I don't know how it will work either.



Also, the TH game you need to push next to your board.
Wave your hands in a ''W'' motion? :PThen if a cowboy walks in the room, wave your hands in a ''Y-M-C-A'' motion.
[QUOTE=''SavageM2'']Wave your hands in a ''W'' motion? :P[/QUOTE]To walk backwards, wave your hands in an ''S'' motion. To walk left, wave your hands in an ''A'' motion. To walk to the right, wave your hands in a ''D'' motion.Here's how to play a shooter with Natal: You sit in a chair and pretend to use a mouse and keyboard.
I think it would be interesting if you controlled your characters movement with one hand/arm and his actions with the other. So you stick your left thumb up and turn it in any direction to move your character, and with the other arm you swing your sword/aim your gun/etc
