Where are the funny Natal Flashes?

[guilmonx]

Seriously no one on Newgrounds has joined in the mocking of Project Natal?

There needs to be a collab on this because its just too easy to make fun of this stupid technology that Microsoft is trying to capitalize on when we all know its going to end up being another PS2 Eye Toy thing...

Seriously like IGN has already done their video mocking it... WHERE ARE THE FUNNY FLASHES ****IT!?

Not even Sony's new motion crap has been targeted yet...

So I have to ask... Where are they?

Natal > Eye Toy

However Sony's new motion controller has the biggest potential to be made fun of.

Because it's funnier to swear at Milo in real life to see how he really reacts.

Isn't Natal pretty much a whole generation ahead of eyetoy? Eyetoy only works in a 2D space, while Natal maps a whole 3D atmosphere. The idea looks the same on paper, but the execution is so much different. I've never experienced either of the two, but hearing about Natal made me excited enough to buy a 360 this fall when pricecuts are expected to roll out. I've never even thought about ever buying an eyetoy.

The PlayStation Eye can measure into the Z axis as well as X and Y. It's not as sophisticated but it's more than a shoddy camera! The Wiimote can't measure depth without the motionplus I believe, only X/Y Axis and acceleration.
Natal seems to be promising more than it can actually deliver, if it does all it says it does I'll be impressed. Only once I've tried it for myself though. The only thing that has me uneasy is that i'll be paying:
EU300 - XBox 360
EU70 - Wireless adapter
EU100+ Project Natal

Natal will cost AT LEAST 100 quid, no way Microsoft will package it for less.

the wiimote can measure depth. it's just hardly used. Try Warioware : smooth moves.

You could make fun of the controllers that were shown for Sony's motion stuff... But you can't pick on a live demonstration of archery, flashlight holding, gun aiming, and sword swinging with 1:1 tracking.

As for Natal and Milo... And with what some late night shows had to say about it.... There is more stuff that you could make fun of Natal with than Sony's glowing ball controllers.

(That is really all you can make fun of with Sony's stuff... Because when they showed off what you could do with them already in a live demonstration it was really cool. I think Sony should just merge with Nintendo already.)

Even if its just a funny flash on Milo because that game is going to cause way too much controversy.

That Milo thing in and of itself is a tech demo but take the technology and put it into a poker game where the AI uses the camera to read your poker face and you can interact with the players, that would be cool as hell.

Or instead you could go get high stakes on the Vegas strip for the PS3 or 360 and turn on the camera chat and actually play against real people and see if you could catch a bluff yourself.

And Milo doesn't look like it was just a tech demo with how much they put into it... Unless Peter Mol. Wants to be a Square Enix flaunt. (2005 FF7 Tech Demo. But at least Square enix came out and said it was just a tech demo.)

If the Natal thing becomes another webcam it would really be embarassing on microsofts part, this is just an idea for a practical use. and I see no real purpose to Milo, that's not a game, having a virtual friend like that is a stupid idea, it's a tech demo,

Seaman is Milo's best friend.... (Seaman for Sega Dream Cast.)
