Official Kinect Discussion Thread

:lol: I just showed one of my friends a vid of people playing on Kinect, he doesnt play games at all, he isn't into games, but his reaction surprised me, he was so amazed, so impressed, I still cant believe how amazed he was, he kept asking me "..come on, where's the controller, how do they do that without a controller?" he couldn't stop grinning as he was watching the vids, I honestly didn't expect Kinect to have such a strong impact on some non gamers, ...MS might be on to something ....thought I'd share that with you guys,

Kinect is gonna be the hot item going around christmas time. The ability to do what you can do with Kinect is going to have people interested, even people who never played games. Its simple, its easy, and its going to make alot of people in here eat their words. Still this is a sticky for one reason, people wanna talk about it and discuss it.... Its intriguing.

[QUOTE="vaderhater"]Yes and that is around the amount of time Sega noted too. Crazy huh?They said they need around two years not one year as they have had with the new tech to hammer out hardcore games.EA same boat. But yes the games will come.subrosian

sounds like you are rooting for Kinect to fail and Im looking for it to be a success. The plate of crow will be served to either you or me, when the time comes.

It seems to me that Sony is trying to engender it's current install base towards motion control. The only reason I can see them doing this is they either expect the traditional video gamer to act as an early adopter and an evangelist for the product towards the mass market, or that they are trying to create a new market of traditional gamers who like the idea of motion control but want the trimmings of an HD console.

Either way I'm not sure it will work, I think the latter is too small a market, while they've priced themselves out of being mass market with the barrier to entry for non-PS3 owners being $399.

w different do you think kinect core games will be from the eyetoy core games

"Wow, you guys are just amazed me. The negative comments here sounded exactly like those comments back in 2000 when MS first introduced the Original Xbox. I still remember that a lot of the naysayers on the gaming forums, gaming journalists, news networks...ect all proclaimed that:

- MS is a software company and didn't know S#$* about hardware.

- Xbox would be DOA.

- Xbox would be the next DreamCast.

- Very one hated Bill Gates and nobody would buy the Xbox.

- Even Sony said they didn't care about MS making a gaming machine because it would fail hard.

Then look at what we have on these forums now. Just the same hatred comments towards Kinect again. I was wondering why some of you love playing games for fun but have a big desire to reject something that others may enjoy playing with just for fun too. You guys are so selfish that's all I can see. Oh my gosh..."

Ok, if seeing it in a different light makes me selfish, so be it. Microsoft put out a lousy piece of equipment. Very few 360 users haven't had some sort of problem with their system, it's happened to me twice. Then after everyone already owns a 360 original, the elite comes out. Then another 360 model came out, leaving the fans to once again feel like they're stuck with an inferior machine. After making money hand over fist despite a mediocre product, Microsoft just flat out rips off Nintendo.

So by your definition, Apple also the guilty one too because they have been releasing their iPhone almost every year with cheaper, better and faster processing power. Leaving the early adopters stuck with the INFERIOR 2G iPhones? The computers industry also guilty too because they keep releasing new laptops desktops every 6-8 months with cheaper, better and faster processing power. Leaving the early adopters stuck with the INFERIOR systems? The TV companies are also guilty too because they release new HDTV's every 3-6 months with better and cheaper TV's. They even convince the early HDTV adopters to buy their 1st generation 3D TV's. However, they can't because they are stuck with the INFERIOR TV's now. The wireless phone companies keep releasing new cel phones every month......Oh wait, you got the ideal or do you want to read more???

Woo First post! I don't think Natal shows the significant upgrade from the wii it needs in order to grab peoples attention and be successful. It may sell well initially, but thinking long term, that doesn't necessarily constitute a success.Indie_Hitman
