Microsoft Debuts Full-Body Controller-less Gaming At E3 242
quintin3265 writes "At today's Electronic Entertainment Expo press briefing, Microsoft unveiled Project Natal, a technology that eliminates the controller from gaming on the Xbox 360. In one demo, a player used her arms and legs to hit balls in an attempt to destroy a brick wall, and in another game, an employee threw virtual "paint" on a canvas to create a painting, even drawing an elephant using a silhouette feature. An accompanying video also demonstrated automatic login using facial recognition, videoconferencing with other Xbox Live members, and participating in a gameshow against another family through the Internet using speech recognition."

1. Kojima isn't directing the game
2. It's not a real Metal Gear game, just an action game with Raiden
3. It's multiplatform - PS3,PC, and Xbox 360
Even worse, just an hour after the Microsoft press conference an interview with Kojima quoted him essentially disowning the game.

No kidding. "Full-Body Controller-less Gaming" has already been invented. It's called "sport".
