I've been rather critical of Kinect in the past but I have to admit, that is pretty cool.



It's cool, but at the same time kinda pointless. Why even have the tv to begin with. Why not just a projector. Mixing the two just seems silly. Not to mention any game that requires body tracking would be useless as now the kinect faces the wrong direction. And what about a second HDMI to feed the projector?



I can see this being awesome for some games. It would be cool to have a 10x10 room, with no windows or furniture, painted bright white. Too bad I'm probably not getting One...



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

I wonder if and when they plan to bring this out? And how much will it cost?

They didn't show off Kinect till 1.5 years before launch. I wonder if they are giving the competition too much time to copy them? (Although, that didn't work so well with Kinect.)

Still, it could make a very immersive game, a cool 'disco party mode' for parties and dance games, but I'm waiting for a Jurassic Park game where you can walk all over and see Dinosaurs.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Really? I find it hard to believe you even watched the video. This blows away everything I have ever seen. I love it and anyone I show is blown away. You are a very small percentage of people that seems to find something negative to say< Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I wonder why?



They need to release this as soon as they can, because I want it. I'm more excited for this, then xbox one. well about the same. c'mon you post all the article's and have all the info. Whats the release date.

I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Can't wait till some p0rn studio takes advantage of this and my room is filled with one giant cunt on the wall..* its awesome.. could be more awesome..

*this idea is patent by NiKKoM inc
