When are people going to drop the "hardcore" "casual" argument. That is really the most retarded thing I've ever heard. It's irrational to try to downplay a game by calling it "casual". A game is a game 

if you dont see a difference between Uncharted/Killzone and Kinectimals/KinectAdvantures, then im sorry (there is nothing i can do to help), but most people can clearly see a difference.

if a game is a game then there is no need for reviews, classifing things as different genres or anything becuase all games are the same., thats Irrational, classifing games is not.

I don't see a difference between Uncharted and Kinect Adventures. Please tell me the difference. 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

I own Kinect. Currently my view is this. It's a great, but mainly as a party gaming device for now. Thats what M$ have done with it so far. That was their initial aim.

However Kinect certainly has much more future scope than the current Wii or Move control methods. We already know the types of games possible with the sticks in your hand control methods. Kinects is  wide open, certainly to brand new genres aand ways of gaming. But equally important is the entertainment side. Using Kinect with HD movies is fantastic. And this E3 looks to bring more Kinect features to the Dashboard and enteertainment side of things. Voice typing ( I hope so ).

Potentially kinect has a betteer future. It asks for devs to open there minds, not stay within  th current limits of controller environments.

I don't think a company can effectively promote two major motion controllers (and still do a good job)

So if you asking if Nintendo should've supported Kinect-like tech instead of Wii tech, I say no

You may think of it as a mistake, but think about it this way ... Every time something becomes popular there will be those who will think *why didn't I/we/they think of that?* - - - - - - No mistakes made, just someone thought of a good applicaition and it payed off for them

The only reason Kinect has been so successfull is the same reason Obama is president:

O.P.R.A.H

Without her Mrs.Clinton would've been president (I know jack about US politics but read this in TIME), and Kinect would have been a mediocre. success.

Oprah speaks and Americans follow.

Just to safeguard me from being banned again I'll put a ':P' here to be safe:

:P

Biggest Mistake In Gaming History? No.

PS3's 600$ launch price and Nintendo losing third party support because of lack of CD storage rank higher in my opinion.

Agreed on PS3. Not only is it the biggest financial disaster ever, it also allowed competitors to thrive.

The Nintendo CD storage thing. Are you referring to Gamecube? Quite frankly I don't think it was a big deal. Lack of exclusive support was due to the poor sales of the console.

Well Move is much less successful and since Kinect released, the Wii is on the way out and Nintendo is rushing their next system to retail.

 

So yes.



You may have trouble paying attention to the story, though, given Crysis 2's constant sensory assault. This is the best-looking console game to date.

...

Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game

I'm waiting for any reason why they are different. I'm all ears!

NO; by a loooooong shot.

 

- Sega Saturn launching early and ruining its relationship with retailers and publishers. Paved the way for the death of Dreamcast. Not to mention some of the design choices in the architecture of the console.

- I love the Gamecube more than most people, BUT WHY did they have to make it purple? I could seriously see how it could've sold 10 million more if they just made it look cooler.

- MS for buying Rare. Sure, Rare has been doing OK for them, but they couldv'e bought 10 talented teams for that amount of money. Rediculous.

- Sony for removing other OS from the PS3. I have no problem with this, but we can clearly see what this has done to the company after all the hacks. Also, I just noticed that I have Sega, Nintendo and MS up there so its only fitting to put Sony here too.

 

Sony and Nintendo can still implement a 3D camera system if they want. It can't be that complicated to introduce. MS spent billions advertising so that has to taken into account when measuring the success of Kinect.
