I like that topic....
I totally agree with irstupid... use it when you need it and it helps.... kinect should be great for navigation in menues... puzzle games... head tracking and stuff like that.... or party/dance games..... identification for log in etc.... but for once i think it's a tech that will stick.... but needs improvement yet again so maybe it will jump a generation even though I doubt it just because WiiU is focused on it... and sony and MS just released there tech and have to cover the R&D I really believe... kinect and move are 2 things they throw in the middle of this gen to keep a longer life cycle and to get the devloppers thinking about new ways to use it and use to developpe for it.....
what I'm saying is that compare to all other tech d21lewis talked about this one has already more support from big developpers... not for exclu games for kinect or move but also as enhanced experience with other.... and I think that's what will make the difference on the fact that the tech will be retained or not next gen.....
Mummelmann the devs don't have the choice it's not the guy that buys a console on a trend and get a couple games a year that puts food in his plate... it's the core gamer buying tons of new games a year on day one and buy DLC after because he enjoys the game.....
I think that DLC could be a way for devs ... you do a really good 5 hour game for a lower price and make regular DLC available a at reasonable cost...
first I could actually enjoy more games because I could buy more of them and spend less time on a single one so get less bored etc... I mean you see my point... same final content as today just split in several installement in time and at a lower price tag from the get go.....
that would allow the devs to handle their calandar better too....
but that's another story..... now PC gaming I think is something for a really small amount of gamers... it is too expensive for most of us to keep up with the tech compare to consols... I think it is great if you are young and have no major expenses and responsability or if you are loaded and have the time to enjoy your set up.... but still socially speaking it is still reserved to the geek squad of gamers... which I use to belong.... but I can't affored it anymore now that I make my own money pay my own food and rent and bills.... I'd rather spend money on 1 system every 10 years.... and enjoy the money....
