1) Rare's sports game is not on rails and neither is Dance Central and so are a lot of others.  There are a minority of games that are on rails.  I can move my entire body around the table tennis game and it shows my avatar up on screen going around the entire table.  So epic fail there.

 

2) Using head tracking you can move directions without moving your entire body and even sitting down on your sofa.  Also remember that Kinect can do this in the dark without any light and this cannot be done with PSeye so again you fail.

    Tilt head forward slightly to move forward.  Tilt head back slightly to move back.

    Turn head left slightly to turn left in the game.  Turn head right slightly to turn right in the game.

    Tilt head left slightly to straife left.  Tilt head right slightly to straife right.

    Change weapons by using voice commands.  Making a fist means fire weapon.

3) The move is an improved motion for the Wii and thus fail.

    Kinect can track your movements, voice, connect to the cloud with web services and be completely something entirely different.  For example take Heavy rain, make it multiplayer, allow more interaction in the game using gestures and voice and actually acting like a character in a movie and then using the cloud to update the game data over time (for example the voice recognition).

   You can't really do this with your entire body with the move and you can get these kinds of interactive experiences with the move.

  If I had money to have my own software studio, I wouldn't waste any talent or money on the move, the Wii has been there and done that, it's over.  Time to move on and create interaction that we have never seen in video games before and the cloud kinect online play is the way to get us there.

  The kinect launch games are just the first generation of the easy stuff it can do, as SDK's advance and the middleware software advances you can go places.  If anyone here can look back and see that the first start of all console launches is pretty rocky, but over time it gets better and that is the same road the kinect is on.  You honestly don't think that 3 years from now that there is just going to be dancing games and sports games only right?

  So, the biggest issue with kinect, isn't Kinect, it is your failure to understand the software process and how you can use creativity to create something new that can be a new experience.

Lol, your post defeats itself. If your post was supposed to be humorous, mission accomplished. If not....

Well, you missed out on the facts I guess.  Your post is about as useless as it gets.  I guess if you can't elaborate then you fail. 


1.) Ok show me a game that allows you to move freely in a 3-d world without  assistance.

2.) Doesn't the Move glow? Wouldn't it work in the dark because of this? Ok , if you want to move by tilting your head, go ahead. You will look dumb doing so and it will be less accurate, but have fun.

3.)Ok, you want to play dress up and pretend your an actor in a movie. Be my guest. Too bad, there is nothing announced or available for the Kinect that will allow you to do so. There also will never be one for the Kinect, and you can quote me on that. Where are your facts btw? Wait.... there are none. :(

AS of right now there are absolutely NO good games that would warrant a $150 purchase of the kinect. Of course that is an opinion and you may enjoy fitness and dancing games, thus making the kinect your wet dream.
