[KingKionic]

I want to be superman! im serious. make a superman game.

[AKNAA]

Make me an interactive porno star! I can picture it now, me, my girl, doing it anywhere in the world!

[Tony P]

^^^Haha. Wtf.

I think it'd be cool to have something like The Force Unleashed. Picking up objects and people from afar and smashing them into things. Build a good game around it.

[OhReginald]

Your "girl"?...as in your right hand?

[Dir_en_grey]

I want a real accurate fighting game, not that Tekken motion sensing arcade crap that just senses your arms and legs to a button input.

I want a Fighting game that will mimic what the players do in real life with their body.

How damage could work could be the speed of how fast your limbs move: faster equal to greater damage but also gotta give it a multiplier of a trajectory prorate of some sort so a jab would do less damage then a fully pulled back punch, giving that both punches went at the same speed that is.

Programmers could assign arms and legs as ways to block. Of course there would be multiplier on how much the damage forearms and lower legs can reduce the damage, and also map every part of the body like head will take 80% of the damage dealt and body will take 50%, thigh will take 10% etc.

I want a real fighting sim from this. Of course this wouldn't work from the demo they showed w/ the avatar "this is the bottom of your feet bam!", cuz doesn't seem to be able to track people rotating their bodies. If they were to add hand and leg (maybe even a belt?) straps to track body orientation then I could see this really work, in fact I hope for Microsoft to give Natal arm and leg straps to give it 1:1 accuracy.

You would need space to play this game but again alot of people will not be able to play also cuz they are physically unfit.

But just like any other fighting game which will alienate people w/ slow reflexes, I don't see any problem w/ this selling. It'll make people trying to get fit and take up martial arts even.

I've always dreamed of an accurate Virtual Reality Fighting Sim, so if anybody like this too pass it on to Microsoft or anybody who can make it happen.

[AKNAA]

No, its more like my backup B1tch.

[IaMs12]

i want Rainbow Six or CoD type game, mainly Rainbow Six. Like when that girl gave Milo that paper, it can be a Grenade or Ammo for support of your troops. Rainbow Six would be awesome, but go back to the orginal feel like the OLD OLD rainbow six games and Rogue Spear, but keep the next gen graphics.

[R2D2]

Sony ask fans what size do they want the purple dildo to be.

[Thugbot187]

I would like to see RTS utilize Natal. I really think RTS have been underserved by consoles, mainly due to lack of mouse, controller just doesn’t cut it. Selecting arms would be a whole lot easier and moving around would be great. Plus adding in voice would be killer. Simple arcade games like Chess, Checkers would also work really well with this type interface. Sword fighting style games would also be really cool. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy or Force Unleashed like Tony P said totally cool. Star Trek would be cool with the voice recognition part of it. Mr. Data take us to Warp 4, Shields Up. Lead an away team to some planet set phaser on stun.

I think your normal sports games many of them show would be obvious contenders for this type of control, Boxing, Tennis, Golf, Racquetball, bring back good old Kickball. It would also be cool to take games like madden and add in a part where you can go from playing with the controller to player view mode where you start off passing to a player and then you zoom in or something and you catch the ball and run it in juking and all. Or you can even zoom in and throw it as the quarterback or run it also avoiding tackles. Boxing is a given, I want a boxing game that can throw the punches I would throw duck when I duck move as fast or as slow as me with the quality of fight night.

I can see arcade style duck and shoot like Area 51 or even more tactical like Rainbow Six Rouge Spear style like IaMS12 said. I can see game play being mixed between the controller for some aspects and using your motion for others. I think sandbox games like GTA or Saints Row this would add in this type of control optionally would be cool and add a new aspect and fun factor to the game.

I also see some non game type applications that would be real
ly cool. Natal, show me news, what’s the weather like. If they ever add in Skype I would be like Natal call this friend. Just like iPhone, there’s and app for that but instead yep Natal can do that or find that.

[Sonyslave3]

I want the following games.

Green lantern
Naruto
Superman
Dragon ball z
Bleach
Pokemon
Star wars
Gundam wing
Iron man

Get to work MS.

[KingKionic]

my god..

Those games " done right" would be amazing.

EDIT @ Spike47

Yeah if they aren`t done right we can be disappointed.

[Spike47]

-_-

[LiquifiedArt]

Good job! Lets ask the fans to come up with ideas because we know that this tech is very very limited.............and buggy.

[KingKionic]

Wouldn't MS asking fans what games "you" want be a good thing?

[Kushan]

You know nothing about this Tech. All you know is hearsay, conjecture and anecdotal evidence. Only MS and maybe a few select Devs know what this technology is really about. I bet you don't even have a clue how it works.

But no, this isn't a bad thing, nor is this even an out-of-the-ordinary thing, for companies to ask their clients what they'd like to see from them. I have a sneaky suspicion that if Sony put up a questionnaire asking the same questions, you'd be singing their praises. Stick to the Open Zone, kid.

[ShabzS]

Guys trolling about eye toy pls read this article here. They have a detailed look at natal and its capabilities.

http://www.newscientist.com...

[The Master Chief]

haha Sony fanboys just have to complain about something. This is how they deal with their frustration over the PS3 and Xbox 360's success.

[Diamondwolf]

Finally, a fanboy who admits that both console's are successful!

Now we are finally moving forward as a gaming culture, I thought we would be stuck in this cesspool of "I'm better than you because I play on console xxx"

[xabmol]

.

[really duh]

Moronic trolling won't stop this tech.

[KingKionic]

well theres some other stuff in Natal : http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

EDIT@ below...lol i didnt even hear that....that was hilarious.

[xabmol]

"futuristic visions"

...from 1999.

lol

[whateva]

True

[OmarJA]

Ironically, you the expert on that subject.

[All-3]

Sony has asked gamers what they want or think about stuff quite a bit... oh noes, Microsoft is copying Sony again?

[Kushan]

If you understood for even a second how Natal actually works, you'd realise how idiotic your comments are. Here's a hint: Eye Toy/Xbox Vision Cam, etc. all have ONE lens. One. Now, how many eyes do we have? 2. How many cameras does the Natal camera use? 2. Did you ever consider why that is?

Depth. Depth is key. The wiimote uses a sensor bar to calculate depth by tracking 2 points (they get closer together, they must be further away). The PS3 motion tech tracks a brightly lit ball in space. The smaller the ball, the further away it is. A little bit crude, but quite bloody effective if you ask me. Natal uses two cameras to sense depth, just like various animals (including us) do. That's what makes it so special. The way it works has genuinely never been done on a console before. That's why it can track something like 49 points on a human (as opposed to the 1 point the PS3's motion tech can track, or at least one point per stick - but that stick has its own advantages which are a little off topic here), that's why it can support multiple players and that's why all the haters are either fanboys or ignorant fools.

[The Master Chief]

Sony Diehards = still trying to to convince themselves Sony invented the technology in Natal.

XD

[KRUSSIDULL]

People forget that Natal has more than 1 camera? and Sensor and multiplie microphones and lets not forget a separate processor. Eye Toy shouldnt be compared to Natal. Compare you Eye Toy with Xbox Live Vision camera instead.

[Diamondwolf]

Agreed, Natal > Eye Toy

but........Sony MoCo isn't anything to sneeze at either having the 2 points be the controllers ie. Head tracking theory

All in all, both consoles have something that is unproven to the masses yet people are arguing over what's better, well guess what.

My 2060 ford flying POS can dust your 2061 pontiac planecar......

[laaakokaracha]

I think sex games (simulations etc.) are going to be huge in the next 10 years...

[eagle21]

E3 2010 we'll see an EyePet rip off with Nintendogs to follow and CNET will get off. :)

[mirroredderorrim]

If UNO on Xbox Live is anything to go by, I can see this thing push UNO to the next level.

[Arsenic13]

Interactive nudity?

[kewlkat007]

...

-Obstacle course Training could work great with this.(You actually have to jump, crawl..etc

-Navigation for multi apps

-Voice Activated embedded Commands

-I would like to redo the Original KUNG-FU for Nintendo on here..
Different party games and even Limbo party game.

-Imagine when 3D gaming TV's/games come out how more immersive it could make it feel.

-Remember them old Arcade Shooters like Area 51, Dino Crysis and such. You get the timing right and you can come up with some great Shootings games.

-How about fishing Games? Cast your line and reel them in.

-How about Artistic/Painting games that could be used also as learning tools.

-How about Card games, sitting down and make believe your at a Bar Top Arcade game, since they are touch screen, it's the same idea.

-Imagine a Pitching game, pitching a baseball if it allows to record speed.

-Boxing Games would be awesome with this.(Who will be the first work on a Sport package?)

"why sit and play when you can be in the game." Jump In, No Literally!!!

[KingKionic]

Great creative ideas.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

"-Imagine when 3D gaming TV's/games come out how more immersive it could make it feel. "

Might be the closet we get in my lifetime to a Holodeck.

That would be amazing.. Great ideas Kewl!

[INehalemEXI]

Shenmue 3 w/natal get on SEGA and break bread for 50% or more of the dev costs make it happen and I will buy another 360 and natal even though I am damb sure it would break down like the 360's I had before. I would repair the sh!t myslef just to keep playing.

[2FootYard]

Rapelay!

[Troll-Killer]

1.) Black & White 3 with 100% Natal controls (Make it so, Molyneux)

2.) Elder Scrolls V...or something similar...with Natal voice recognition for NPC interaction, and contols for sword/scorcery combat and object interaction, and hand-motions for menu navigation. The only iffy part would be character navigation in the gameworld; maybe voice commands, like in the PC Mechwarrior games?

[Kushan]

Give me a First-Person Street Fighter game and I'll be happy. Once I figure out how to do a dragon kick, that is.

Seriously though, Fighting games have been a bit lacklustre this generation. I think SF4 was the highlight for me so far, everything else was a bit of a let down and even then, SF4 got pretty old pretty quickly for me. I think this could be the perfect tech to bring fighting games back. Fighting games using this that aren't just boxing games, that actually let you hadoken your enemy, or push them over or whatever. That's what I want. Give me one that's capable of teaching some basic martial arts and I'll be over the moon.

[laaakokaracha]

I agree.

Fighting games developers should focus on this new tech to improve and innovate the genre...

[mac4u10]

i no what you can do with it " shove it up yr arse"

[Shaka2K6]

.

[ShiNe-Box-]

Microsoft is saying, "We don't have enough first party studios whilst the ones we do have are talentless crow so now we need you, the consumer, to make the game."

Nice

[Troll-Killer]

...another jealous, scared Sony fanboy, blindly lashes out at MS, because Sony has let them down.

MS is ahead of Sony...and will continue to stay ahead...because they have the best connection with their fans. They have always promoted choice in their products, and user input on their content.

[Elven6]

I didn't know you had to physically code and implement the game, crap, I better start brushing up on my C#!

...seriously, companies asking what their consumers want is a bad thing now? More of a marketing thing then any, imagine if they take the most complex submission and have it work flawlessly, the naysayers would shut up.

[Ashriel]

Do you have to throw sh*t at anything ms does? xD

funny, how you complete the fanboy circle.

[The Master Chief]

We feel your pain. I would be frustrated also if I owned the Playstation 3.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

What first popped into my head when I saw this was:

A first person perspective game that opens with you walking up to a podium taking questions from an audience/press corp/inquisition. You have no idea who or what you are at this point. The first question from the audience/panel is what is your name so you speak it and Natal can then use your name. Then they start asking you all sorts of questions that you have no idea the answers or basically what is going on. Maybe Natal recognizes your facial reactions and then responses if you seem confused, frustrated, etc.

Your character(you) has lost it's memory and from there you use dialog with Natal to discover who you are as the game plays out.

The actual game scenario is irrelevant here, but this is just one example of game play that could be applied to many different genres.

[KingKionic]

That would be cool.

[ShabzS]

holy smokes crab... i think ur onto something here ... imagine the game in an episodic series ... where each episode ends with a twist.. showing a snipet of your identity ....

imagine a demo ... for imidiate purposes

*after you come back from the press conference to your office still confused*

Assistant : Mr. Crab (?) your partner is on the phone
Crab: my partner? i'm a buisness man?...
Assistant: huh ?... erm ... he's on line 4..
*Picks up phone cautiously*
Crab: Hello?
(rough throaty voice On the phone): hey honey ... Made meat loafs tonight... When you coming home snuggle puss?

DUM DUM DUMMMM

*to be continued!!!*

this is the only thing i could think off ... not very edgy i admit but this idea/ concept is good

[likedamaster]

Great ideas, maybe you two should actually take the time to write something and submit it to Microsoft. Great things start with ideas after all, right?

[Elven6]

Psi-Ops...nuff said! A Psi-Ops game that revolves around the psychic powers would be really cool.

[Troll-Killer]

...and you know something like that will come. The possibilies are almost limitless. :)

[GiantEnemyCrab]

oh I would buy that day one!

[BURNDOWNTHEHOUSE]

Only Microsoft can take old tech, rename it, and their fans credit them for bringing something new to the table.

This is obviously for the casual who enjoys wii-like shovelware minigames.

Do not for one second think you will be able to play games such as Gears, Halo, or Crackdown with motion control and not have it turned into a gimmicky borefest.

[ChozenWoan]

We all know Natal is great for Hardcore games. What they want to know is what kinds of casual games do 360fans want to play. We already know that Halo:R and the rest of the 2011 line up wont need a controller.... ever again!

Contollers = junk

/sarcasm

Wonder what types of games Sony has planed for the PSLightstick.

[dstate52]

I really can't imagine this implemented into a game that i'de enjoy. I saw the E3 conference and idk i wasnt completely bought on it i wish they went on STAGE and showed it talking to Milo and everything. Only time will tell hopefully MS surprises me.

[PirateThom]

I don't know... a fighting game maybe?

I something like that NES Track Meet game I can't remember the name of?

A point and click adventure might be cool.

[Etseix]

Milo will overheat and will say *phew* theres hot in here* next thing u see, is an explosion.

special effects- Michael Bay

[Grown Folks Talk]

where you look around the environment & pick up clues & evidence manually.

[bunfighterii]

tell microsoft so they can steal your idea, generate it into millions of dollars, and all you'll see from it is 60 of your dollars going to buy the game... then maybe another 100 or so going to buy a Natal.

get furked microsoft.

[NMC2007]

Well, I was thinking about Gears of War 3 where at a point during the game Marcus would need you to help him out by doing something with the camera, for example he asks you so push a button while he is across the way trying to do something, just really simple motions where you actually interact with the characters and feel like you're helping out, I am sure Epic could do that if they wanted.

Or I was imagining a platformer where you would have to figure out how to help your character through the level by doing certain gestures in the game, for example if you are playing Alex Kidd and you are actually playing Janken with the bosses, I dunno, I am sure they will think of something.

[dragonslayer91]

I can imagine playing Halo 2020 with no hands and it automatically flashing 3 red lights (all by itself) and boxing itself up and shipping itself off(all by itself). That would be cool to implement.

[Xi]

I want a game where all you do is walk around an extremely well detailed city taking photos and making movies, the main use of natal will be in head tracking to create a very vivd 3d world. The only use of the controller would be to move around the world and actually snap the photo or movie. The position of the camera, setting up scenes etc, would all be mapped through natal.

The goal of the game is to take photographs and make movies on things like animated people, weather, scenery, to even larger events like parades and war. You then publish the photographs online and depending on the user-rating you recieve funds in the game to purchase better equipment, even things like spraypaint to make cutsom scenes. (the spray paint would also be mapped by natal)

the city itself wouldn't be too big, something like 4 or 5 city blocks in somewhere like dt new-york. But that would also include the the insides of buildings modeled too.

The online would consist of fable like co-op where one player can join another players city, and help set up specific scenes, or even be a bit mischivous and spray praint parts of it.
