Games for Project Natal

December 21, 2009

upcoming games natal Games for Project NatalAt this year’s Tokyo Game Show Kudo Tsunoda, creative director with Microsoft, unveiled some of the demo games currently being used to illustrate the technological advances of Project Natal.

If you didn’t already know, Natal is a new motion-sensory system that is going to make the handheld controller a thing of the past. Instead, Microsoft’s Natal has improved upon the technology already used by the Nintendo Wii and the short-lived Sony EyeToy, to create something that was beyond comprehension just a decade ago.

Among the games that Tsunoda has been demonstrating is an interesting ball game that is reminiscent of dodge ball. However, a player must deflect the ball off any part of the body and bounce it against the bricks of a 3D wall, the aim of the game, perhaps unsurprisingly, is to destroy all of the bricks by hitting them successfully with the ball. As you can imagine, this game is physically very demanding and shows the marked difference between Nintendo Wii gameplay and the gameplay of Project Natal.

To further demonstrate the way that Natal could revolutionize the gaming industry, Tsunado showed the Tokyo Game Show and E3 in Los Angeles a transformed version of the game Burnout Paradise, in which players control an invisible accelerator with their feet and an imaginary steering wheel with their hands. What was particularly amazing about this demo is that control and response time is incredibly superior.

However, Burnout Paradise will remain a working demo according to Tsunado who claims that existing games would require too many code changes to be compatible with the Xbox 360 Natal. Instead, Microsoft has already signed contracts with a number of game developers, including Electronic Arts, Sega, Disney, MTV Games, Konami and Namco to name but a few.

Anticipation and excitement for these games is growing rapidly. One thing is for sure, we’re never going to have seen anything quite like them before.
