E3 2009: Motion Sensing Gameplay Revealed [Updated with Details!]
Written Monday, June 01, 2009 By Jason Debelyak

We all knew it was coming, well here we go!  The simple tagline explains it all, "You are the controller!"  There will be a motion sensoring camera that sense your every move, from driving to fighting.  You will use your entire body to enteract with the game with the use of full body motion capture.  You can use your own gear to scan images, such as a skateboard that will be translated directly into the game.

This new feature will also include voice recognition, for areas such as game shows where you will be able to shout out the answers and the game will understand what  you say.

The device is shown at the end of the trailer, pictures coming soon.  I guess the motion sensor controller and the game was nothing but a rumor, but the motion sensor idea is indeed alive!

It is announced to be called Project Natal and will work with every Xbox 360 as well as being sold with Xbox 360s in the future.

Steven Spielberg comes on to talk about how this new technology will revolutionize gaming by allowing anybody to play video games by using your entire being instead of being hindered by a controller.  Looks interesting indeed..

A demo is shown, starting with the Dashboard.  As soon as you turn your Xbox 360 on, you will be automatically signed in because Project Natal will recognize you based on facial recognition. Wow!  Also, you can navigate the Dashboard menus by moving your hands.  The game Ricochet is demoed, which is basically Breakout, where your body is the paddle.  The game recognizes your every body movement from head to toe.  The technology will also allow multiple people to be recognized at once, allowing multiplayer games in the same room.

The second game demoed is Paint Party, which also recognizes voice recognition by saying colors or actions, and you use your hands you are able to splash colors onto the canvas.  When forming actual pictures, you can use photo recognition by posing and forming a stencil.  Kind of corny, but the way the motion sensor capabilities work are absolutely amazing!

Peter Molyneux comes out and shows a video enacting Natal in work and how innovative this technology can become.  The video shows a boy named as Milo that is able to interactive directly with the person playing it, and is able to recognize what is said.  Claire, the girl playing this interactive demo, was able to draw on a sheet of paper, hold it up to Milo, who then took it and was able to recognize everything including the color.

All the people who are saying Bleh obviously didn't see this thing working. It is absolutely amazing, I can't believe what I saw, reminded me of the things they were doing in i-Robot or Minority Report. Very futuristic stuff and you really have to see it to believe it.

This thing is nothing like the Wii. That's like comparing smoke signals to the telephone.

I think it looks amazing, with the right games being developed and the avoidance of becoming a casual console it really could be as ground breaking as they made out, again dunno what is with steven speilberg though.

I thought it was going to blow when they first spoke about it, i agree with the minority report sort of stuff, although i am a little worried about the computers taking over, terminator, wall-e, 2001, stealth and now this.

IT THE END MAN!

You can't play classic games on it, this is the next Generation of gaming. Instead of updating us with a new console we have to dish out $400 for, they're expanding this one, adding new technologies and new games for it for us all to enjoy. I'm glad they come out with something like this, instead of making just a virtual reality boy, they should make a journal you chat to or something like that as well. This is a huge thumbs up for me for Microsoft and I think all this new technologies are going to really hurt Nintendo and Sony in the future in game sales.

There is a barrier in this world. X Box has crossed it with giving a computer boy a personality. The handing the note thing off, was well just freaky. Im not going to get this. Hell, theres no way Id be able to play Gears like that.

I think it looks cool. I just hope it works as easily as they made it seem. I just wonder really how many games will actually use it I didn't see anything that really made me want to use it. Nothing the take the place of a controller on most games. And most importantly HOW MUCH will it cost. It wont be shipping til after 2009. I just hope you have a option to easily turn it off to use the controller. If they actually put some good solid games out there then i will buy it. I'm just interested to see how far they take this.

@59 "Video games aren't supposed to be realistic."

Is this a serious comment?

It's supposed to be realism in a virtual world. The more real the better. If they weren't supposed to be realistic, they wouldn't bother with enhancing the graphics.

Even if it doesn't revolutionize some oof our favorite games, the motion sensor to navigate through the XBox Dashboard, Netflix, etc. is going to be cool. The ability to use video in chats will be fun too. I have just two words to end this...

I was completly blown away by this. Especially with whatever the hell that Milo thing was, simply amazing. I was very skeptical of Microsoft developing a motion controller due to the fact that it would probably be a piece of shit, but Project Natal looks to be a Wii killer.

Guys this wont be replacing the controller. Fucking hell you idiots. The controller will still be the main source of input but this will be a secondary source if you felt like it. Obviously the new Halo games and Gears of War etc won't use it.

This sounds so dumb. I like good old fashion controllers, pressing buttons and stuff if that nature. If I wanted a workout I can just go over to the gym. The idea sounds cool and all next-gen but come on do u really wanna get off your couch and act out every move in a damn game.

Wow. Just wow. This will be the most amazing feat in video gaming history if microsoft can pull this off. I believe they can. Frankly, i'm suprised at all of you guys complaining. It's not mandatory. I'm still going to play all of my first person shooters and games of that nature the way i've learned to be good at them. Just let microsoft work, and if it becomes and epic fail, then i will be among the rest of the ranks who will chant "microsuck."

Everyone who is saying "Wii this and wii that"...this isn't the wii.

This is about voice control, facial recognition, communicating in new and different ways and making gaming accessible to those who aren't at home on a controller.

Believe it or not, not everyone is a gaming god, like everyone on this site seemingly thinks they are. Some people, older people, will get into gaming this way.

Its new, and fresh, and the ability to control the xbox with my voice/controllerless is something different.

If we didn't innovate, after all, we'd be stuck on pong.

@96 totally agree with you. Most the people here obviously havent watched the full video. The wii just doesnt compare to this. If you see that woman talking to the character, think what you could do with a new Fable, GTA,etc in the same sorta way, being able to walk round the city, punch people where you want to, talk to them, infinite number of incredible things u cud do here.

If anybody has actually seen all the footage from E3 so far I can't see how anyone could fail to be impressed by this! I was very impressed and I don't even like those sorts of games (the Wii bores me big time!). However the possibilities go far beyond what the Wii is capable of! Imagine an RPG where you could communicate directly with the characters on screen just by talking and they could recognise you as an individual via the facial recognition!

It started with the Wii but Microsoft have not attempted to rip off the motion sensing technology, they have evolved it and produced something vastly superior! If they get the support from developers then I believe it may sound the death knell for the Wii! IMO anyway! ;)

That video of motion detection was a huge leap forward in consumer technology, it make the Wii motion contoller look 10 years old. This kind of entertainment is great for parties but you cant beat just like chilling out with a pad and your feet up.

If this is the future of gaming, I will fucking kill myself. I've been playing games, since I was 3. I am now 18. That is 15 fucking years.

Never, in my whole life, have I ever seen something this fucking retarded and stupid. That family looked like absolute fuckwits. Who wants to be jumping around on their fucking rug, and using an invisible steering wheel, to play video games.

Gaming has always, been about us being put into a new and different world. And now, they are trying to make us literally play the game. No-one wants to come home from work, to play a game to relax, and have to jump around like fucking Sonic the Hedgehog, just to do so. This is fucked. Stick it up your arse Microshit.

Wow, I never thought Microsoft would stoop to the level of Wii. If all gaming turned into this, I'd have to find a new hobby. It takes all the fun out of the game. Instead of virtual bowling, why not going to the bowling alley and bowl a real game, you're doing the same thing! Couldn't have said it better than #113.

"this new technology will revolutionize gaming by allowing anybody to play video games by using your entire being instead of being hindered by a controller."

This is the problem right here. They are creating a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. There is nothing wrong with controllers!

Motion control can never be as precise and sophisticated as a basic controller. Quit pandering to the non-gamers and focus on your ACTUAL customers, the people who don't need videogames dressed up as family fun to enjoy them.

Do you guys really think this is going to replace controllers? cmon. Sure there will be exclusive Natal games but their not gonna screw that up (HAVE to use Natal for ALL games). Thats just retarded thinkin

I think this looks amazing and will definitely have fun with it, but Ill still play controller games more

All you ppl saying this is the end of the world-go buy another console and quit yer bitchin

Man, how may morons are there posting comments here? A lot methinks!

This is not designed to replace controllers. MS have no intentions of doing so. Where are you all getting this idea from, this was never said. I seriously doubt standard controllers will ever be phased out by MS so get a bloody grip and stop whining!

The bottom line is, if you don't like it then don't buy it! Plain and simple!

Yeah for #121! If you don't want to use/buy it. DON"T! It's that simple. There are games like Hannah Montana and my horse and me 2...used by controllers. If i'm correct, those are pretty kiddish. So, this Project Natal is not "kiddying up" the xbox to a Wii level. People that are calling this the end of the world need to go to weight-watchers or stop being so closed-minded.

For those that don't understand, the problem is when good game companies waste time and energy making games for this latest fad, instead of focusing on real games.

If Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios are too busy programming little CGI boys, Fable III will be pushed back. That's when it gets irritating.
