    Default Project Natal,incompatible with black people

    Above impressions show that N'Gai Croal was not able to use Natal.

    http://www.examiner.com/x-12218-Prov...t-Natal-Racist

    "When game consultant and former Newsweek writer N'Gai Croal gave Paradise a test drive, however, the game had trouble reading his steering actions. The footwork (gas and brakes) worked fine, but Croal couldn't steer his car at all."

    http://www.springerlink.com/content/p75x879k24k36185/

    Above shows a journal which reports that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is less effective on black skin as "melanin clearly interferes with the quality of the reflected NIRS signal".

    As I understand, Natal uses near-infrared.

    Please tell me someone on the Natal team has thought of this, or this could be the most epic failure in the history of video games."

    should I laugh or should I cry?(I'm black btw )

    They're probably gonna get sued if they don't write '' incompatible with black people'' on the box or fix it ...

    I knew this would fail epically in one way or another

    And for some reason i knew it would end up in racism

    You'll need gloves and face mask to play this. Mask and Gloves included in the box!

    Could be really interesting to see what they do about it.

    I wonder if they knew about this before they made it?

    This is funny stuff.
    I am sure it will be fixed though this may delay their release date since they gotta change quite a bit of stuff around to fix that.

    This is pretty funny but I don't think Natal is getting released any time soon so there will be time to fix this.

    "incompatible with black people"

    lmao!...

    I'm not a racist but to see that on the Natal box would be other worldly.
