Kinect is useless they say.....really?

Cows should stop touting those indie scores then...since it's a different scale.

Also the OS is not gimped without kinect....it's just kinect makes a great thing even greater.

I always use it, comes in handy alot of the time. I'm pretty glad they included it initially tbh.

i really dont want the eye of nasa in my house thank you very much, and i bet i can double xbox and press x before u even finished saying xbox record that

@ghostwarrior786: They eye is always watching you with or without kinect...you know that right? And no you can't.....and sometimes if you do something really bad ass the X1 automatically records it....which is a dope thing.

I haven't even used the pos yet for the bone. Then again, really no reason to use the system period now. Kine t is a joke and the only supporters are really slow lems.

**** motion controls. Kinect is shit, PS move is shit, honestly even the WiiWii motion was a gimmick. Gamers just want buttons.

Riiiiiiiight

You havent used it and you somehow come to the conclusion it is a joke, and therefore supporters are as well?

That makes perfect sense.

not in my living it isnt and yes i can because u will have to say the words clearly so kinect (lol) can recognise them whereas i can hit the 3 buttons in less than 500ms and yes i know x1 automatically records things, i do have one

No, you can't, and snapping/unsnapping without controller can get a bit laggy at times. With Kinect, it never is. FACT.

@chikenfriedrice: @Salt_The_Fries: bros why are u so confident? i guarantee u i can press 3 buttons and save a clip much quicker than u can say 'shitbox record that' not to mention controller is more reliable. 'unsnapping without controller can get a bit laggy at times' <<wat??? u reaching, if the snapping function gets laggy then its going to happen if its voice activated too FACTT

You don't have a cell phone? They are in your emails, texts, phone calls, they are everywhere man!

I know you have an X1, I was just pointing out another awesome feature.

I dont have cable and i've snapped apps easily without the kinect....

Well yeah....if I say "shitbox record that" you will most definitely win.

Reminds me of when Fable: The Journey scored an 8. That was good fun.

yes i realise nasa is watching my digital footprint but i dont want a camera in my living room that is on even when i switch the console off + it offers me nothing i really want.

automatically recording clips is good idea but tbh most of the clips that have been recording as bs because in bf4 it records when u level up but most times ive levelled up its simply by passing a medic pack or something lame like that and titanfall doesnt even have the feature. its ok feature to have nothing amazing, what is a piss take though is the sound is out of sync in the recorded clips

http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/78718.html Pulling your main crux selling point out of the box is pulling support for devs. We saw 5 kinect games this year. That's some big support MS is bringing to kinect.

Personal experience isn't an over arching fact. That's a big fail buddy.

Research studies, facts and conclusions solid conclusions aren't written on the basis of personal experience. They're written by surveys, numbers so on and so forth.

Also kinect works like ass for me sometimes. Does that make my "personal experience" factual all of a sudden?

Never noticed that prob....sound is spot on with my clips

Loading Video...

when u watch the clip on xbox is it still ok then? all my clips the sound is about 2-3 seconds off

If they keep updating it then they are supporting it....if they are still including it with X1's and standalone they are still supporting it. If they removed it and stopped selling it, stopped updating it then sure, you would be correct.

I'll take my personal experience over a survey

Updates is support is a battle of just semantics. If the games don't come for it, it's not supported.

Also then your opinion is invalid as factual evidence. How do you think cars, buildings, trains and most of the world works?

Personal opinions. Wrong Facts based on empirical evidence.

Everything you buy even the kinect was based of factual detail oriented research dumb dumb. Without it it wouldnt fucking work properly....

@ghostwarrior786: I'll have to double check because I don't remember that being an issue when watching them on the X1

But games have come for it as highlighted in my OP

Yes based on factual detail MS designed it's console integrated with kinect, so obviously the console is better with kinect....well done, sir.

The kinect is just getting it's decent games now. Harmonix is a fantastic developer and one of the only ones that have proved they can make a fun game with the thing.

Youre an idiot and are just trolling now.
There's not one study or empirically based thing out there that says it is. If anything wouldn't the kinect make the Xb1 worse because of it's resource hogging?

http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/175463-microsoft-to-boost-xbox-one-gpu-performance-by-making-kinect-optional

http://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-xbox-one-is-10-percent-more-powerful-without-kinect/

Please explain how kinect makes it better when the console has a bit more juice when it's unplugged or not being used?

kinect is worthless, there is a reason why it got dropped by M$

I'm working on an array of kinects to aim lasers at intruder's eyeballs. I don't have an Xbox.

No need for the personal attack Animal.....there is not one study out there that says it isn't. Which is why I go with personal experience and my experience is I wouldn't enjoy using the consoles many functions as much without the tech of kinect.

I don't care about the 10% power....obviously a tech like kinect is going to use up resources, so when you take it away it frees up those resources. Just common sense.

Those are the facts right there. I hate having to go around in circles about what's considered factual and what's not.

And you know what your personal stories and experiences are opinions not facts as you claimed.

@chikenfriedrice:

I have enjoyed it for the same reasons you listed. Navigation with voice, and just signing me in by "seeing" me is cool. Last gen my nephew and I loved the Gunstringer, Child of Eden. Never got to play Fable the Journey. This gen only KSR. The game is weak, but as I said here before, watching my father wave race against his grandson was priceless. I laugh just thinking about it. Having a good time with family especially a 72 year old who doesn't play video games is priceless. And to me, that's what its all about.

You don't have to do a damn thing AM....you are going in circles at your own will and choice.

That's right....and most people that actually have it and use it probably have the same conclusion as you and I.

I know... I just played the demo and really enjoyed the Mozart. I wish they would release more classical music as a DLC. I like the Flaming Lips OK, but feel like it doesn't really fit in with this particular game. Fantasia is a classical music term, and the whole idea of the project was that it would expose those who normally wouldn't appreciate classical music to the classics. I like alternative music, but I have (well, had) Rock Band for that.

..which is why Sony "trashed" it. Food for thought.

Are you serious? I like having my cable connected through it. I watch hockey and in between periods I pick up my game where I left off by saying play game. No, pressing buttons isn't hard. But neither was changing a disc last gen, but it was about convenience then. But convenience doesn't matter now? Fail

You started going in circles.

What am I gonna be rude to one of the only people here who CAN have a decent discussion but decided to be part ass today?

Lol cows have some serious jelly in here today. Kinect games outscoring ps4 exclusives. Another great game added to X1 whilst ps4 has.... Lol

Lol....I am a little dizzy

I will just say in my humble opinion kinect enhances the XB1 experience....now we are straight lol

You leave your cell phone outside your living room? Is that like a rule in your house? Nothing that has a camera or can receive or send data in the living room?

HOLY SHIT IT HAPPENED.

*sheds tear*

Nor would it for me. But I thought options and different experiences were a good thing?

u like watching key word here 'inbetween' periods correct? so how the hell is that any different then me using the suspend and resume feature? it literally takes 4 seconds for the xbox to resume the game where i left it, 4 seconds!! and i never complained about changing disc and even then this is different because i wouldnt feel comfortable leaving my xbox on for long periods anyway given the great reliability of x360 and consoles in general.

i dont know about u but i dont turn my phone camera on and put it in the middle of my living room as soon as i get home so i can record everything

Flaming Lips. lol. From my hometown. Never could get into them.

Anyway, yeah, use the kinect all the time. using a controller or remote to navigate = old school.

The Cows would love to have three of these quality games,2 AA and 1 A.Bu bu kinect.lol

LOL...MS kind of admitted it's useless by removing it.

Oh really, whats it do in FH2?

They dropped it to get that price down as much as possible.

If it was necessary they wouldn't have been able to that....hence useless. You don't need it at all.
