Did ya catch Jimmy Fallon last night? Well, he demoed Project Natal with Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunado and Jim from The Office. Not only was last night’s demo a bit more exciting than the E3 announcement, but it also showed off how Natal can be ported to racing games like Burnout Paradise. (Spoiler: You basically air drive the car with an imaginary steering wheel and peddles.) You must check out this video.

wow I must admit even as a loyal PS3 owner I am a bit jealous of this new gadget. I might actually start using the 360 if this takes off well.

  I agree, this is amazing technology. I’d love to see it in action, might take me over to the dark side :)

And people said the Wii makes you look funny? Seriously, everyone said the wii made you look stupid, swinging the remotes around. Now everyone says, THAT’S AWESOME!!! I can see this being fun, but have you noticed that you can’t grab anything? Natal can’t recognize hands and fingers. And if you’re playing an FPS, how do you shoot? say bang, bang? What about machine guns?

    Natal can recognize over 40 different joint, yet you try to tell everyone it can’t even recognize hands? ^_^
    And besides, if you aren’t capable of playing with no controller, you are able to scan ANY item you want for use in the game.

      I have yet to see any demonstration of the use of hands. I do realize natal isn’t out yet, so I can be wrong, but you have to admit how stupid they look playing that game. I also realize I am a bit biased, but really, the eyetoy has been out for how long? I don’t see anyone hyping that.
