Why make a thread about a product you have doubtfully even used? And why answer the question that you haven't used? That is the questions that i have in this thread.
Kinect 1 - It was simply not good. Not good for gaming and had no other use.
Kinect 2.0 - Used as a multimedia hub it is magnificent. XBO literally revolves around Kinect 2.0 and gives you a unique experience not to be had on other consoles. At any given time i can change games by saying them, turn off my console, switch to tv, record gameplay, turn netflix on, skype, turn my volume up/down, go to internet by simply saying it.
The accuracy is very well and very impressive. Everybody who has seen my XBO is highly impressed and has left wanting one, going so far as facebooking their impression after leaving.
More importantly most poeple buying an XBO has been talking good about it rather than badly. This is where my main question comes in. Why are you talking about something I doubt you've tried.
Is it good for games? No, and i dont ever believe it will be and i dont think their is some misconception about this. Even Microsoft studios are abandoning Kinect as the main function. Rare Ltd even came out and said when Kinect first came out there was a lot of emphasis to use it. Now that it is included with Xbox we are to only use it when it makes the game better. Use it where it is good and dont where it isnt.
Can it be used in games - Yes. It can do cool things in games as long as a controller is still the primary controls.
I will say it this way. It isnt meant as a way to revolutionize gaming anymore. It is meant to revolutionize your living room and your experience with the console. As i said before I dont think there is much misconception about this.
