360 magazine recently interviewed Johnny Chung Lee, the motion control celebrity who is now working on Project Natal. We asked what kind of games he thought Natal would enable, and if the technology will spawn entirely new genres that we hadn't seen before. To give you a little teaser of the interview, here's what he had to say...

However, it would be great to see a new range of scents since there are only six, and many smell similar to each other."
At a time where GPUs are more available than ever, it appears as though PC gamers aren't upgrading as often as they used to.
For me, the primary concern with new software is how it's often exclusive to a new series. This not only frustrates me but also raises questions about the lifespan of the hardware. With GPUs no longer offering significant performance boosts, they rely heavily on software enhancements.
However, this reliance is contingent on developer support. When the new 5000 series hits shelves, it's likely that the 4000 series won't be compatible with Nvidia's new software. This would negate any advantage it had over the 3000 series, leaving one to wonder why they upgraded in the first place. And the same will keep happening as we move through the generations.
AMD is a bit better in that regard as they often use open standards, which offer wider compatibility. However, they have even less developer support, and their software solutions tend to lag behind Nvidia by at least one whole generation. So if you have a 3000 series from Nvidia right now, it doesn't really make that much sense to upgrade to the 7000 series from AMD because feature-wise they are pretty similar level.
oh my god, these "Here's why" articles are always about the most obvious shit ever, like do people actually read these?
because they last for generations. You don't need to upgrade every 1, 2 or even 3 years. I went from a 1080ti which served me so well to a 3080 with years in between. I won't even consider upgrading until the 5000 series at the earliest, but will most likely wait for the 6000 series.
Cant wait to see this. Bring it on Natal
Even Johnny chung Lee approves.

Natal X controller = win
I said this many times before.... Natal is going to revolutionize a new way of gaming. Much bigger and broader than motion controllers. Play beyond indeed. ;)
You know..just to give all this Natal is only for casual games a rest ;)
" Lee also said that Natal won’t necessarily be more geared toward casual gamers and that the technology will be very entirely compatible with the regular 360 controller."
