After watching E3, it was the belief of many that the Natal was designed to console lonely children who have no real friends. And by this I mean Milo.
Milo is a little boy who can interact with you to the point where he can recognize voice and even tell what it is you drew on a piece of paper.
Lionhead studios has hardly disappointed us in the past with favorites like Fable and now Fable 2, but with this new technology, it's difficult to tell exactly what they are thinking this time around.
However, although to some this may seem extremely creepy, in retrospect it is a very innovative piece of technology and may just turn gaming around as the Wii has done for us several years back.

Not only Milo, but the Natal also has the feature to have video-conversations with friends and many interactive games using the motions of your body---much like the Wii.
But Microsoft being known for it's superior advancements, this could be that new step to gaming we've all been waiting for.
We're getting closer and closer to virtual reality!

Ironic, I was going to post here before but never got around to it. Anyway, as awesome as Milo looks, he won't be as great as everyone's been saying. He'll probably only have a limited number of things to respond to, and will talk to you with a microsoft sam, or some similar text-to-speech voice. There's no way they can possibly record every existing name, let alone every phrase in the english language. Or any other language if they decide to make it available for everyone.

Also, I'm surprised the Natal is only coming out now. We had a pretty basic version of this in Ottawa (in the science museum) for the longest time. It was a hockey goalie game where you just blocked the pucks that came at you. It projected your silhoutte onto the monitor, rather than forming a 3D avatar.

We also had brief experiments like Eye Toy and its sequel Guy. I guess they were just trying to perfect the technology.

It's definitely an epic idea, but I'm still waiting to see if this is more then a gimmick. As for Milo, they might not be able to get him to say and respond to everything, but they can get him to say A LOT (just look at automated answering machines, but more receptive).

Then again, this is Lionhead Studios. And as we know, they ALWAYS meet EVERY expectation they set

heh Fable II...

It's awesome and TOTALLY Glitch free.

Nope...no glitches there...
