Would Natal Enable User-Generated Mo-Cap? |
Ping-Pong Horses Make Conan MMO Look Real |

Johnny Lee's Wii-mote projects put forth more precedent (and examples) for that, and really, I'd love to see something similar for Natal-enabled (but not Natal-required) games. The extra immersion, added with the extra depth perception, would allow for a much more realistic and engaging gameplay experience than the largest plasma or LCD display on even an SD CRT.
Other things that it would offer would be gestures. Enable Natal support, and make a motion with your arm to throw a grenade, or shift gears up or down, or select a certain unit type or cast a certain spell. Move a different way to reload, or hit the handbrake, or use a special item, without taking your thumbs off your sticks.
And that's just something that can be tacked on to an existing game, or a traditional controller-based game. Natal is a technology that has a lot of potential - It just depends on how Microsoft decides to deploy and support it, and how creative developers are willing to be with it.

They don't allow you to even touch the avatars, so why would they allow you to use the Natal to pelvis-thrust at your opponents?
While the idea is a good one in theory, we have to remember WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD USE IT.

No, no dancing game where users actually Dance for points will succeed as it would alienate the casual audience. ParaParaParadise is another game where an actual dance can be done, but the technology for the game itself is no more than beams of light (more arm flailing!). I highly doubt Konami would do this so...better find another company to assist.

I'd totally buy Natal if they could emulate this experience in the home.

These user-generated mo-caps can be made offline as well, so the ESRB has to rate them.

@Southrncomfortjm: I was thinking the same thing. ESRB doesn't rate online interactions, so go all out!

While you guys might want this, it won't happen until Microsoft lets users specify sexual preference without getting banned from every single aspect of an Xbox Live Membership

How are the two related?
At all?
