No i understand this, I really do. I am ready to not care, it just seemed a barrage where it could have been said in one thread instead of several. Now there are several threads for people to bash kinect. I don't think its that necessary. Could be wrong.

 

I don't know how Kinect is going to be, IGN doesn't know how kinect is going to be. If you have played it (not you but a wider range), then you haven't the final version or it would have been released already. So it is not yet finished so these "previews and/or reviews" are really a waste of time at the moment.

 

To me personally (for what it matters) kinect seems interesting because it's different enough for an already established medium (wii). Does that make it better? No, of course not. To me personally PS3 is just going to be a better graphical Wii. But Kinect can be something different. That is what is interesting to me. But I don't know, nor does anybody else, so continuing of these threads/websites are pointless until it is closer to release.

cough eyetoy cough ps2, nothing new game wise has been done on kinect yet, where move already has innovated showing echocrome ii, go look it up move is already bringing new experiences!!

On Topic: all the profesionals who know about technology all seem to be reporting nothing but negative feedback for kinect, so obvioulsy the peripheral will not be to the hardcore liking, but maybe casulas will like it so you just never know, as for whther they buy it, maybe it's too expensive for the casuals, the only people i see suppporting kinect right now are certain ppl from the 360 userbase, as they are excited for it still, and it has huge pre-orders

So all the gaming mags said nothing but positive for the Wii and saying it was going to go gangbusters? No, a lot of them said it was going to fail. It is the same thing.

The eyetoy thing has been done to death, unlike eyetoy Kinect is designed to not just be a gimmick. I don't really remember the original launch of the eye toy that much but I don't think that they (sony ) put too much stock in that it was going to do well.

"Kinect" (which I think they think they should have kept with Natal btw) is something new, enough. Something that is not the Wii. The "HD twins" have done  a motion control. PS3's is move and 360's is Kinect, this is why EyeToy is different enough. Kinect IMO will be done well.
