Not exactly game changers. Also, the leaning feature must be much more faster and accurate if you.... you know... just press the buttons. Voice comands are cool though, but it doesn't work like in Nintendogs were you can record the sound. It is recognized. So, to bad for those out of non-english speaking coutries (if the game supports other languages ignore this point) and even more bad to those that don't have voice recognition at all in their countries. Only the aficionados get excited for this, like the very first kinect that nobody cared and died a quick death. |
Gimmick? They are extra features using the extra hardware that the Xbox One has. If it was only leaning or something I would maybe call it a gimmick, but this uses a buch of kinect's features. Nothing gimmicky or wrong with that. Nobody said they were "game changers". They are, however, interesting additions whether you like it or not.
I know leaning would be faster if you press the button, but did I say I am interested in leaning for the speed? I said I am interested for the immersion it can add, and it being a new experience that can be pretty cool.
Finally, you do not have to be an aficionado to be excited for this. Kinect was shit on by some people because it did not work with core games. Well in this generation, we are seeing Kinect voice and motion control features in a third party launch title that is an FPS. Big change from the first kinect so far. I think that is a good thing, and third parties will probably keep doing it since they know everyone will have kinect.
Finally, I think it would be a good idea to wait and see how these features work before we pass judgement. They might suck, they might be excellent. But they are interesting, hence the thread.
