Reactions: Project Natal demoed on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Regardless of your opinion of Mr. Fallon, you certainly can’t deny that he’s made good on his promise to showcase video games on his show. The most recent example of this occurred just the other night, when Kudo Tsunoda was kind enough to give a live demo of Natal in Fallon’s studio. Kudo is wearing sun glasses as always, and Jimmy is way too excited, as always. What’s of interest to you, fine reader, is that they showed off the version of Burnout Paradise that utilizes Natal, which was only seen behind closed doors at E3. It seems to work pretty well, although I feel like no controller would be more confusing to non-gamers than specialty steering wheel controllers. Also, for some reason everybody’s wearing bright red jump suits. Hope that’s not an indication that this thing will only work properly under the blazing lights of E3. But anyways, this certainly seems like a head start on Microsoft’s plan to make Natal’s launch as big as the 360′s.

    It looks pretty sweet. I’d like to see PN with like an FPS…that would be FTW! And, someday I’m totally going to go to the Jimmy Fallon show, and try to get on stage as a look-a-like (my volleyball team and 10th grade Chem. class knew me only by Jimmy Fallon)

      First, I’m pretty sure I’d never want to play a FPS with motion controls. I may as well just go outside with the first graders and shape my fingers into a gun with convincing “bang” noises. I really don’t think motion controls can effectively transfer to deeper and more complex games. It’s still a gimmick to me until someone proves otherwise. Second, you do not look like Jimmy Fallon dude. At least the last time I saw you you didn’t. He’s much shorter, and with darker hair, and gayer…
