Microsoft's Project Natal lag calculated to be a tenth of a second

Thats not much when you think about it. Actually thats very little. And don't say stupid stuff. I can see it coming.

That's actually very good seeing as Move also has some lag and Natal has to do a lot more calculations than the Move. In that regard Natal is actually ahead of the competition.

Indeed. I might just look up the lag time for the wands.

That's nothing.

So in 10 seconds your movements would lag by a second? That does kind of sound like a problem. My shots last night in a Gears 2 game lagged by 1 second and that really affected the flow of the game.

I'm not to fond of motion controllers anyways. But Natal seems to be looking like the worst out of the 2. Natal is going to need 15% of the 360's processing power which is alot to ask from developers. Can you imagine a game like Halo Reach only using 85% of the 360's CPU power? No thanks.

I want Microsoft to focus more and making killer IP's and attaining more 1st party developers. .

They have said that Natal will not be featured in Halo Reach therefore Halo Reach can use 100% of the CPU power.

yeah but think about it, you may have a total play time on a game of about 3 days. It sounds like a lot but really you could have done that over a span of a year!! It's nothing really. Same goes with natal. ITs not as if every time you use it for 10 seconds you will suddenly have a second of lag. Nope, it's just not 100% instant but then again, move isn't either.

You completely misunderstand how this kind of lag works. It is nothing like internet lag like in a online game of LagZone 2 or MLAG.

Let me explain it to you.

It doesn't build up. It's per second. For each second the delay would be 1/10 of a second. That's 0.1 of of a second. Each second the lag is gone and you have new second with it's own .1 lag. The way you put it sounds like it the frame rate of the PS3 version of Bayonetta.

Now that's just what some MTV blog found crunching some non-scientific stop watch data from an old demo.

What that means is the worst it could possible be is .1 second lag. But, MS has already said they've improved it since the old tech shown at these demo sessions. Move has noticeable lag, and even WiiMotion Plus has lag. Natal will too, but it's going to be less then .1 per second and even if it was it would work just find.

It doesn't build up. It's not one second of lag, it's an iota of lag every second.

1/10 of a second is like the blink of an eye which is almost nothing.

I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing up.

Seems to be on par with Move then.
