Project Natal has officially been named the Kinect!

An advertisement for an unannounced redesigned Xbox 360 has appeared online, according to reports. The ad also acknowledges that the final name of Project Natal will be Kinect.

Several websites and forums are reporting that the advertisement seen above appeared earlier today on the Italian website Console Tribe. We’re unable to verify the legitimacy of the advertisement at press time (as it appears to have been removed from the site), but given the frequency of report we’re seeing, this seems legitimate.

is natal doomed?

MCV: Though upcoming triple-A titles such as Fable III have pledged their support for Microsoft’s motion camera Natal, Bungie has ruled out any possible support for the peripheral in its upcoming FPS Halo Reach.

This new video shows the updated version of Ricochet for Project Natal, the movement looks a lot smoother and precise this time around.

The Lost Gamer writes:

These images demonstrate that the current development kit requires a power supply in order to function, as well as warning within its instructions that the user should not forcefully tilt the camera, as it may damage the tilt motor. This suggests that the camera will automatically tilt, which certainly opens up for very interesting possibilities.

CVG: An all-new first-party Natal project has been outed by a US movie director. But don’t get too excited, hardcore 360 fans – this sits very much in ‘casual’ territory.

A couple weeks ago Microsoft invited the media to a presentation they like to call " The Microsoft Experience " in witch people get to see and play with the latest gadgets being made by MS.

GT: From the same source that brought to you River Dash details for Project Natal comes confirmation that Microsoft has Boxing and Football games coming out soon. With Natal being able to track your body it was obvious this type of game would follow but now a Microsoft employee can confirm that boxing and football are getting the Natal treatment this holiday season.
