GS:Xbox One's Kinect Is Really Dead Now, Basically (SHould we hold a funeral? )

lol

Kinect had its fans... especially on 360.

But I never had any use for it.

Kinect sucked. Just like this thread.

Well what a sad and sorry excuse for a thread this is.

Is a shame. Should leave the options for the people who still want it.

Kinect would have been better for VR.

For somone who allegedly owns a PS4/PC/Switch he only talks about the one he doesn't. This is a classic case of MS living rent free in his mind LMFAO.

Kinect? I barely knew her.

Why we do not have funerals for every home console released since the beginning of the 3D era?

@Pedro: I absolutely agree. I feel VR is where it could really shine.

When did PS fans hold the funeral for the kinky-looking PS Move? ;) A while back, I gather.

dude you make the oldest threads possible.

this thread already came up.

it was determined the kinect was a better seller than VR.

my balls, yo face son.

Please read the fucking forums before posting.

I see a lot of potential in the Kinect as input device for a VR system. But there is only potential. Its biggest enemy is its latency and in a VR enviroment a noticeable latency is unexcuseable. Kinect as it exists now is not suited for VR. We would need a new version that performs much faster

Yes we should.....I will say a few words.

I just want the people to know how much Kinect meant to me. I will never forget the times my wife and I had dance battles in Dance Central ( I always won ), how wonderfully you tracked our movements and when the freestyle section came on, watch out! I will never forget how much fun I had directing an orchestra in Fantasia, you made me feel like a musical genius. I will never forget bowling in my living room against my family, thinking to myself "this is not quite as good as Wii Bowling, but not bad". Most of all Kinect, I will never forget you listening to me when I asked you to nicely turn on my Xbox and BAM....my entire entertainment center is powered on like I am Iron Man. In closing Kinect, thank you for making me feel like a great dancer, orchestra conductor, semi pro bowler and Iron Man. You will be missed.

At least MS tried to do something new and innovative.

Every console, TV and Toaster should have a built in microphone so you can turn it on with your voice.

Basically this. This sad cow thinks he's telling people something new. He truly has no life

As if nobody here knew this already. Please stop creating threads...

I mean, didn't everyone want Kinect to die in the first place?

2 months late? Okay. This was killed off in October.

EyeToy still going strong, though.

Kinect wasn't bad technology, it's just that MS doesn't know how to manage XBox.

LOL at the poor Lemmings that wish everyone would just forget the Kinect ever existed. Maybe you should go complain to MS, since they just talked about it yesterday.

? TLHBO!

Lems are really trying their best to forget Kinect 2.0 released with the Xbone and flopped hard carrying Xbone with it.

Meanwhile Move controllers are still alive and so is PS Eye. Goes to show MS doesn't know shit about managing their hardware. They really thought they could force a gimmick like Kinect on consumers.

Much like everything else Xbox related, it flopped hard. MS has too much money with little execution or focus

Bury it in the desert.

Right next to the E.T. video games

They just tried to cash in on the popularity of the Wii. Just like VR and those Playstation dildo controllers.

The Wii was a fad. Motion controls are dead. Manufacturers need to stop investing in this junk so gaming can move on in a positive direction. Mario Odyssey would have been much better if Nintendo didn't include motion controls (the game only uses 4/14 buttons on the controller... all the motion control junk could have easily been mapped to buttons... shaking my controller to jump higher as a frog isn't immersive). Manufactures are also sinking money into VR, which is a complete waste of money. What's better than Kinect? Kinect strapped to your head. Not sure why they think that crap will be a success. People want to game comfortably, in front of a high quality display, not waving their arms around with a brick strapped to their head.

@Pedro: no lie

what year is this

And yet it sold more than the PSVR, move and PS Eye combined. LOL.

Kinect was bad from the start. It's funeral was held on its release.

...and yet it's dead and caused the flopping of Xbone while PS Move and PS Eye are still alive and helping the PS4 to dominate the market ?

You're assuming that VR headsets will never be comfortable to wear for long periods. How about phones? Did they stay as massive bricks? Desktop PCs, do they still take up a whole room?

Also you talk about high-quality displays, but once again, you're assuming that displays will never improve. You're going to be very surprised as VR displays will increase in resolution faster than TVs / Monitors. By the time 8k TVs are the norm in households, 8k per eye would likely have already settled in as a standard for a couple of years.

You also don't have to use motion controls, even if they are the preferred way. There are plenty of games that allow you to use gamepad, like Resident Evil 7, Elite Dangerous, Chronos, Project Cars 2, Lucky's Tale, Edge of Nowhere, Skyrim VR, etc.

2018

People still trying to defend this piece of shit. LOL! The only reason it has to be buried is because you can't flush it down the toilet.

Well I mean, they had to. MS couldn't just make a wannabe Wii Wand at the time and they probably saw Sony's motion device gonna go copy Nintendo's Wii Wand, MS had to come up with something and that's what we got, motion free hands that is Kinect. MS really did something new which was innovating and I can give credit for MS but the main problem with Kinect was, the technology at the time wasn't advanced enough to utilize the damn thing.

Loved playing this game:

No one wishes anything of the sort lame cow. This has been reported for the last couple of years. This is just another case of you cows beating that dead horse over and over and over. Nothing new just more desperation from no longer having the most powerful console in the world and now having the 3rd best graphics. Sucks to be you cow

Thanks

LOL, actions speak louder than words. This thread could be ignored and left to die, but instead, the lemmings rush in screaming, "Waaaa! Stop talking about Kinect!" Cry more.

Another reminder that game companies are probably the biggest corporate liars there are.

So you're saying all those PS4 threads created by lems we've had in the past that could have been ignored by cows but weren't were because you cows were crying "stop talking about my Sony"? Got it thanks cow.....you may continue beating that horse

It's a bit of a shame. It's really good tech and would fit in well w/ what Sony does.

How sure are you guys of That? The Eye Toy for ps2 sold 10m on its own.

wtf people talking about kinect for?

Wow, you really suck at reading. Nowhere did I mention any of that.

@kuu2:

Right, it must be the salt from the x1x hate because it isn't like MS just announced recently that they're discontinuing the adapter production for the Kinect.
