Fable: The Journey Kinect criticism unfair say Fable's creators, If you don't like it, don't buy it

"What they're trying to do, by marrying core gaming with Kinect, is obviously tricky. It's a difficult control mechanism to get into core gaming."

Now that is definitely not staying on message with Kinect. Kinect = great core gaming experiences. That's the message. Saying it's tricky to fit into core gaming is telling the core gamer exactly what they feared to be true: it's the casualisation of Xbox boys, might as well go back to PC.

For all Peter Molyneux was a big BSer about some things he knew how to stay on message. Even when the walls were crashing down around Milo Molyneux never once expressed any doubt about Kinect being the dawn of a new age of gaming. "Difficult control mechanism to get into core gaming" sounds defeatest and desperate. Why would you do that?

Fable: The Journey will stand or fall on its merits, the guys making it shouldn't be running around shooting themselves in the foot by unintentionally running down Kinect as a core gaming controller.

And Holy crap, I just noticed this "Fable 4 is reportedly "a proper, controller based" game". What is wrong with these people? Kinect isn't for "proper games". Do these people not see the subliminal messaging that's in these statements?

It's a bad piece of PR which isn't going to help the cause of Fable: The Journey or Kinect. I just hope it gets forgotten soon enough that it does no harm.

Someone lock these guys in the computer room and get proper PR folks on the job of promoting the game and Kinect.
