its cnn they are not even experts in politics, them being impressed could lure some casuals but it doesn't give us gamers how good or how bad kinect is. i'm sure that if they saw the graphics on crysis, and the upcoming graphics of crysis 2 (on pc) then they would have orgasms.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

I was just reading this article and this stood out and I seriously wonder if this is true or if it is a flat out lie.

 

"Kinect sensor bar scans and monitors 1 million points on the body"

 

Can anyone shed any light on this because does your boby have 1 million points to scan a nd monitor?

Dance central will be awesome.. it's their killer app..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

They have Kinect Joy Ride in the racing vid, yet they didn't mention anything about that game. Either way, Dance Central is where its at....its gonna be the best selling Kinect game by a long shot....unless twesterm's game turns out to rock everybody's socks off.

He didn't say 'track'.  It tracks 20 skeletal joints only, but it was trained to recognise the different body parts by scanning millions of pictures of different poses.



lol three guesses as who owns CNN, apart from that yeah sure kinect is perfect, now excuse me while i bank in my check i just got

Thanks, because I remember the MS specs sheet that said it tracks 20 joints per player or 48 total, something along those lines.
