Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony Mocks Kinect, Celebrates EyeToy

They came up with the idea of controller free gaming last generation. Why shouldn't they celebrate it? lol

 

And it actually seems Microsoft actually agree... Aren't they already in the process of making games that use buttons for Kinect?

They pretty much copied an article that Gametrailers wrote and was panned for. Sony never mentioned Kinect. That video was released as a part of a series of Playstation Celebrations videos on the Playstaion Blog, it was not meant to be an attack against Kinect. It's weird how they've decided to write an article about that video, but they didn't write any on the other videos being released on the Blog.

The bottom of the article makes me sick:

"Check out the whole video below and then cast your vote on what type of technology, either the Kinect or the PlayStation Move, will win in the end."

Articles written up to feed fanboys, it's disgusting and when larger sites do the same thing, it only makes the industry look much more immature. 

Softpedia are another site I'll have to cross off my 'reputable reviews' list along with Gamespot, IGN and Game Informer. All I've got left is Giant Bomb, Joystiq, Eurogamer and Destructoid.

Why am i not surprised. Anythings to gain hits i see.


Anyone who considers Destructoid to be anything other then the dedicated trolls of gaming reviews is fooling themselves.


I consider Destructoid to be honest. I can tell the difference between a troll and an honest opinion. Jim Sterling may give all your favourite games low scores, but at least he can back up his points with real negatives about the game.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

@Cthulhu

You have posting this crappy comparison: Kinect <-> Kinectic in every possible thread in the past few days.

Dude, the Eyetoy is not close to have the same capabilities than Kinect and having a camera detecting body part is not even new from Eyetoy, I was playing that kind of game on a PC way before the Playstation...

The kind of comparison you are doing is like comparing the PS3 to the Nintendo 8 bits... See I can do it to, I mean the PS3 is nothing new, The Nintendo 8 bits allowed me to play games with controllers on my TV 15 years ago; same crap.
Sixaxis? Guess what, Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle... Was working already on PC...
We can find exemple like that for everything... It is not because something is similar to another one in certain areas that you can compare them like apple and apple.

Umm... no.

It's Playstation's 15 aniversery this year. Look through the Playstation blog; video's about the Playstation's brand are every where. This has next to nothing to do with MS.  They dont even mention Kinect in the video.

The fact Sony is promoting their own products Move is a direct attack against Kinect. Those evil Sony trying to promote their products. What other company do you know which would do such an evil act.



The first thing my 9 year old nephew said when he seen Kinect for the first time was  "ain't that like the PS Eye camera".

If  you put shit in a bag and put 500 million in advertising behind it, that bag of shit will sell. I'm not saying Kinect is shit but if you get your product seen by millions of people then of course its going to sell shit loads. The only question remaining is will it still keep selling once the hype dies down. If it does then its a winner and the industry is doomed forever lol.

Those links are all for Kinects bundled with the console or game. However, for the stand alone at the 149.99 price point they are very hard to come by.
