Kinect 2.0 is completly optional people.
If a developer wants to make full use of the raw power of the console it doesnt matter how much power Kinect requires, as they dont even have to touch Kinect if they dont want to |
I could be wrong but wouldn't they dedicate part of the cpu to kinect? Otherwise the cpu will divide resources and that would just complicate matters. It would be easier to dedicate at least one core to it. Yes it give devs less to work with but if still sounds powerful for a leap even with several cores dedicated to other things like multimedia features. It depends on what cpu they are using though.
@ selnor I like your crystal ball buddy but third parties are driven by money and not power. You tend to forget that however powerful these systems are nintendo's games are more powerful. Mario sets the world on fire faster than the processor in this. If nobody buys the system then the tech in this will be like the tech currently in vita right now. Sitting there..... wasting potential..... hoping people use it...... flexing its muscles....... and being given the short end of the stick as well. We simply don't know enough about anything at all. It all comes down to how the public react.

So if they are driven by money is that why when the Wii was destroyig the 360 and PS3 in sales, the wii got no decent third party games?
No it was because it was underpowered and would require games to look like arse to be on the wii to. Effectively having 2 completely different teams making the same game with completely different engines.
|
Because third parties were expecting the PS3 to win like the previous two gens, so they started developing games for PS3 at the beginning of the gen. Then when it didn't sell X360 saved their ass.
That and third parties don't want to put their games in the system with the strongest (sales wise) first party games (and compete with them) unless it's completely necessary.

Thats clasping at straws.
Developers dont want to build 2 completely different engines for the same game. And devs known for visuals and epic stories arent going to choose the Wii as a console to developer for. Otherwise the PC version would suffer MASSIVELY more than they have this gen.
