Halo meets Natal

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/11/h..._inpage_joystiq

Microsoft's Project Natal will be having the popular sci-fi FPS franchise Halo on it but that won't happen until "it makes sense".

I wonder how they're gonna make it work.

I have been worried about shooters on Natal for some time. Primarily the aspect of turning, because if they set it up so that you have to actually turn in reality to turn in the game, then suddenly you are nolonger facing the TV. If they give you a controller, then the Natal becomes esentially useless for the shooter. If they make it a rail-shooter then that will be no fun. Ofcourse, it could be like the Wii inwhich when you aim past the screen it will turn you, that would work...

I have also been alittle worried about Natal taking the 360 down the path of the Wii...

I mean...

alos how would you handle many of the controls in shooters and other games with out any type of controlers. It seems like holding nothing at all would seem really odd for a shooter

What work? They just stated they wont do one until it makes sense, in other words. "No foreseeable future."

Meh, I'm sure we could dig out the old Nerf guns or water guns that we had to have when we were children and are now hidden deep in our closets and use them.

But then again...
