Yesterday, during the Microsoft Press Conference at E3, Project Natal was unveiled. Basically, Project Natal is motion detection device. It can also has facial recognition, voice recognition, and many other things that are exciting. Do yourself a favor, and just watch the video above. That’s just a taste at what the possibilities are with Project Natal.

So, pretty cool, right? You can play video games, communicate easily with friends and family, enjoy your movies and other media; all without a remote or a controller. That alone is amazing. The facial recognition and voice recognition is also amazing. Just walking in front of your TV, your Xbox can log you in, and do the same with anybody else who’s face comes in the room.

It gets better. Peter Molyneux, the man responsible for Fable and Fable II, unveiled Milo. Milo is a digital being. He can recognize your face and your voice, via the device code named “Project Natal”. You can have conversations with him, you can interact with him, he can see your emotions, he himself can emote. This is just freaky future stuff. Freaky, yet so cool.

Just imagine walking up to your TV, and always having a virtual friend waiting to see and talk to you. It’s really amazing. I wish there were more details, but this stuff is kept behind closed doors at E3. Is Milo aware? Does he have memories? What would he say if you told him you were turning off the Xbox, in turn turning him off? Would he be scared, ask for mercy? Who knows? Skynet anyone?

I can imagine Fable III having something like this. Being able to communicate and interact with the characters in the cities, have relationships and conversations with computer players that remember who you are. This stuff could quite possibly be the future of gaming and entertainment. Gaming with your body. Virtual, AI beings…

Okay, okay; enough of me talking about it, just watch the video below and let your imagination take control.

So, Fable II hit store shelves in North America today. Did you buy it? Sadly, I did not. I’m waiting to get it a little cheaper on eBay. That’s right, I’m a “cheap ass gamer”. Check out this preview, if you don’t have the game yet, it’ll depress you, because you’ll know what you’re missing out on. Damn…I’m depressed.

If you weren’t excited about Fable II before watching this preview, you probably are now. I’m extremely excited, who’s with me? Fable II hits stores in North America TOMORROW! So go pick up a copy, bring it home, and have some orgies with fellow townsfolk. I think it’s pretty cool you can have gay marriages in the game too, not that I myself am gay, it’s just a unique thing to be able to do in a video game. I’m sure there are some gay gamers out there who will appreciate it. You can buy a house, start a shop, have a baby, have multiple marriages, gay or straight, and even go kill some stuff if you’d like. Don’t forget, the game has co-op, so you can do all of this with your friends too. The co-op was having a bit of trouble, but the good news is that there will be a patch ready as soon as you start the game up tomorrow.
