    Black & White + Natal?

    Ever since E309, there has been a real discussion on forums about how games should be played with natal, say how would an RPG function and would the next halo be using it. Well suffice to say, Natal has been dubbed by many ps3 and nintendo fanboys as well as skeptical 360 owners as useless. However, recently it just struck me as i was playing an old all time favorite of mine, Black & White. Think about how that could actually work, you use your hands to move around by dragging the ground, grab objects by clutching your hand around it, and then throwing them by flinging your arm as well as opening your palm again. You could also draw gestures in the air to cast miracles, or you could punish villagers by picking them up then squashing them between your palms E v i l [Evil]. You could use the typical cube shaped spiral gesture to grab the creature leash, then tapping with your index finger were you would be demanding it to go.

    Just a suggestion, what do you think? Could be nice to see something for the hardcore gamer that didn't revolve about flying balls Wink [;)]

    I was thinking the same thing about this game. Even a port for xbla would be great. But I doubt it will happen with Microsoft owning Lionhead and EA who published Black and White. These companies will never agree on money. Like Goldeneye, Earthworm Jim, and the Marvel MMO. I hope im wrong though. This game would be great

    Sounds like a G o o d [Good] idea, although one which has been mentioned a fair few times in the BW2 forums Wink [;)]
    Still, I'd hate for a new BW to come out on the 360. I know it has some G o o d [Good] quality games, but until I can be sure that there's no chance of it spontaneously combusting I don't think I'll be picking one up.

    I think that natal needs at least a few solid titles behind it. I think a port of black and white done right to natal would go a long way to having me standing in line for natal but as it is I have only seen milo and party games. If I wanted to play a party game I would have turned my wii on within the last 8 months, but I haven't.  Hopefully they will change my mind by announcing some new games for natal.  I don't think game makers want to spend a lot of money making big epic game for natal because they don't know how the public will respond.  Porting some old computer games and selling them cheap on xbox live could be a cheap way to test what the market wants from natal ^^ [^^]

    Re: Black & White + Natal?

    Yes I totally agree. I think Black and White would be one of the few "Real" games that could fully work with Natal. Using your fingers to make the patterns to summons spells. Picking people up and throwing them or crushing them. Kicking the *** out of your pet when he pee's your off or stroking him. Yeah I'd say it would be a G o o d [Good] idea.

    Yeah! Natal seems like it would work great with black and white! Or well.. It seems like the only thing that would work at all with Natal
