New Project Natal video talks innovation
A brand new “Innovation” video for Microsoft’s Project Natal motion camera for Xbox 360 has been put out this morning. It takes you a bit behind the scenes to see how they’ve developed the camera, as well as how they feel about the technology.
There’s a lot of important Xbox people in the clip, including vice president Don Mattrick, creative director Kudo Tsunoda (gotta love those shades), and Lionhead honcho Peter Molyneux.

It’s hard not to get excited about Natal when you see videos like this but I’m trying to reserve my excitement until there’s something to get excited about.
The product is at least 9 to 10 months away and so far we’ve seen nothing more than tech demos and actors playing games that don’t exist and probably never will. Actually they’re not games at all, it’s all pre-rendered video with actors replicating what’s on the screen.
And the Milo project is just creepy. I know Molyneux is the man but I just don’t see why anyone would want to spend time with a digital 12-year old little boy white boy.
Maybe Michael Jackson.
Too soon?
Yeah this video does get me pretty hyped up for the Natal, I must admit. Sure the tech demo’s don’t add up to much in themselves, but hopefully this functionaility will work well in ‘real’ games (though who knows?)
As for the Milo thing, I can definately understand the creepy factor, XD!
