E3 had nothing but garbage for me this year.

5. Kinect still looks as ridiculous as it started, and now it's even worse. Aside from looking stupid waving around in free space, the games looked like crap, aside from the Sesame Street thing, which was fitting for the thing since it's a kids game. Worst of all, they're going to put the bloody thing in places where it doesn't belong. In a shooter? In an action game? Thankfully it isn't too widespread. Get it devs, KINECT IS FOR KIDS, not for guys who want to shoot people! I'll never be caught dead pretending I have a gun in my hand. KB is still right. What is this, third grade? Pew Pew Pew.

Please, now you're just being ignorant. I'm not going to tell you what to think of Kinect, but if you don't think it can't improve gameplay outside of kids games, then you really are blind. Mass Effect 3 looked way more fun to play giving voice commands to your squad instead of going through all the menus, and it looks like it will drive immersion up too. Ryse looks akin to Red Steel 2, which was awesome. Fully tracked battles with sword and shield, yes please!

Nothing an head set cant do is all i am going to say there for mass effect 3. 

Anyways Kinect isn't an kids only toy, i dont reguard middle age mothers as kids. But i have pointed out many times, until 3D movement can use kinect (with no controller) its been an failure on the core gamer front and devs shouldn't bother. I also dont see using an controller then getting up or throwing an arm in the air going to create immersion if they do add an controller to the mix. 

On the PSVITA, you say that there isn't enough gamers who want those experiences in the handheld front, well thats wrong. There are in fact more gamers than ever before, but will they buy the device is an different question. Also the PSP never failed hardware wise, it sold heading towards 70 million thats an huge number, sure it has sold 150 million like the DS, but thats an decent amount. What the PSP failed in is Priacy but thats and different story. 

On the Wii U selling, i wouldn't count on the just because Wii sold big doesn't mean the next one will sell more or the same, see PS2-PS3 massive drop. The biggest problem with the Wii U is the controller price. If that controller breaks above 100-150 dollar mark then Nintendo going to have an real trouble getting families to buy there next system. 

 

Also i have given up on getting hyped in more for games, and i have lost all hope in First person shooters, come on RPG's dont let me down.
