NowGamer is running a rumor saying that the official name of Project Natal will be Xbox Wave.
I personally liked more if it stayed Natal.
What do you guys think?
Kinect Support
Concept »
Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.
Wave goodbye to Natal
This truly must be the age of motion controls that have a 2 word name. Playstation Move, Xbox Wave.....
While not confirmed, Wave is as good a choice as any. We're used to Natal because if you're on Giant Bomb, you're a gaming enthusiast and have probably have known about it since last year's E3 and its just become natural. But to the target audience, basically the folks who gobbled up Wiis a few years back, Natal means nothing. Plus, it always makes me think of pregnancy - like as in pre-natal, neo-natal, etc...
Wave conveys a lot of things, both in terms of how you actually interact with the device and what they want the consumer to associate it with.
but yes, for Microsoft and Sony right now it is a sidestep. (but microsoft seems to be pushing this garbage pretty hard)
Bloodwave
And Sonic Waverunners
See, you thought it couldn't get worse and then I did that....its a little more mainstream friendly than Natal was if its true. I can just picture CNN doing a special report about the newest "family friendly game playing system thing" called THE WAVE....
When we finally get a real name for this thing, hopefully we will have good games to talk about with it.
