What does that mean for Microsoft. Lets play pretend and say Kinect is a hit. What will the market be? I predict that it will be hit, and I also predict a Kinectless SKU, Probably right after Holiday 2013. January, maybe even before launch. I say this why? Because I think Microsoft has a product that can stand on its own legs. the Indies will make great amazing tech with the Kinect 2.0. What will be said if Microsoft still holds UK and USA? Id like to hear. I predict first AAAE with be from swery65. day one launch edition here. Level 10 Poster approved.

By "Kinect is a hit" do you mean will it perform as it already has been doing for however long now?

it wontbigmoobys

A lvl 5 troll, nothing new here.

However, I'll bite: How will Kinect fail to function as we have already seen it do?

The first AAAE game is a game that we know next to nothing of, from a no name director. Seems legit.

"D4 is an Xbox One title that uses Kinect controls with "simple gestures and voice" to uncover the mystery.The game uses cel-shaded graphics similar to that of a graphic novel" Sounds like a 5-7/10 game.

agreed, but to the point its undeniable. original Kinect was on first iteration, I always predict greatness in its 2nd iteration. Microsoft might sell the XBO without the Kinect for 350. Do it, will hurt Sonysexual much

xbox-kinect-skeletal-tracking2.gif With more joint recognition, the standards will certainly be level headed. The red lit tip could substantially play a greater role in the whole scene with the black background, but dose this mean the back overshadows or has hidden area? If we spend enough time with it, it could potentially grow into a bigger substance for the overall picture we are looking to achieve.

My guess anyways. Cloud gaming sounds like a gimmick though I recognize the blue and green. :/ He puts it in the basket, while his friend hung out.

yes but the premise originally was for what Kinect 2.0. they will deliver on those promises I believe. no two ways about, Kinect 1.0 was a huge success just like few predicted. so keep on saying it will fail, it never effected it originally, wont effect it now.

Kinect wasn't the problem there, improper game design held Joy Ride back.
Rather than showing off what the Kinect is capable of, Kinect Joy Ride is an obvious example of a game that would be better if you could play it with a regular controller.
http://www.gamespot.com/kinect-joy-ride/reviews/kinect-joy-ride-review-6283859/ 

the Xbox One's Kinect is capable of much more than the original and one older review holds zero sway over what the upcoming iteration is capable of.

Exactly what I was thinking. Regardless if "10x" more powerful or not, useless hardware is still going to remain that...useless. Using this thing as a power switch is the most use it's ever going to get with the vast majority of users, no one wants this shit and it's ridiculously obvious.

It wont and i will tell you why. The original Kinect proved the concept does not work for games. Even if the new one is more responsive and less laggy, it is still the same damn thing. The concept is fundamentally flawed. It is a great hook for getting little kids to jump around in front of the TV, which sold a lot of Kinects to a bunch of gullible unsuspecting people. But that is going to backfire on MS in a big way, because former Kinect customers know that it is a big pile of crap.

i believe indies will solve this, if you remember the most compelling uses of kinect were of the minds of those who hacked this. different set of circumstances. I think Kinect is a little under the fire now, but will be impressive none the less.

Like VR headsets right? If going by the tech demos that MS has been showing the Kinect 2.0 is going to have a future in gaming.

Kinect paired with Fortazela , it wont be called fortazela, but that will be highly futuristic and i believe will be better than oculus. both will be awesome. are you going to wear your controller on yoru face for Sonys VR? :lol:
