Ok look at this, I'm very disappointed in this Star Wars game, it was gonna be the thing that would make me go out and buy this because its been a dream to control a light saber like that!

But I'll give them the benefit of doubt because its probably in an alpha stage, the final version should work much better, but they shouldn't have shown it like this then.

It lookes like a cut-scene and then they shoved an actor there to give the appearence of Kinect following him. Big mistake by MS. Game probably doesn't have it implemented yet, but they wanted to show it anyway.

Hopefully MS will show off more games at the main conference later.

I see.

One of the problems here is that I can move my thumb a lot faster than I move my arms, so the feel of lag might be magnified as compared to a controller game - just like it's sometimes magnified with the Wiimote in somthing like Twilight Princess.

Wish there was a way I could play with the Kinect and get a feel for it.

That's another problem with motion gaming, there is quite a bit of lag in the body.

Or maybe it might feel less laggy, as your arms are still moving when your avatar is already replicating your swing. In the case of Zelda:TP, for example, you often have to "finish" a gesture before it's triggered, not the case in so-called "1:1" mapping...

As you said, it's something that should really be tried firsthand.

The games they showed last year are probably working now, so maybe this one will work in a year.

Anyway I'm quite curious about what we'll see at the MS conference today.

Well they do have seperate events for Fable III and GeoW 3, but we should still see some stuff from them. I would expect something from Valve, something from Rare maybe some 3rd party stuff, like CoD Black Ops and maybe Mass Effect 3?

Kinectimals
Play with 20 different kitties like a lion, cheetah and tiger.

Did Microsoft really think it's every kids' dream to raise wild cats? This is what their version of Nintendogs? REALLY? The monkey for Invinimalz (or whatever it's called) looks like an awesome idea now.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

is there a link where I can see these gif's in context?  the full show... rather than in these clips?  you HAVE to see them in the full show to really know if its rigged.

Here you go sir, I hope you enjoy it, I will begin watching it now myself

Edit: Oka that was obviously prerecorded and also awful in a lot of ways


I always hear people calling the MS show the circus but that's just too much, WAY too much, there's putting on a show then there is outright trying to lie to people with acting... thankfully people in the business know a CG cutscene when they see it, gamers will turn it into gifs, and everyone else likely doesn't know/care about this show so what does it matter?

I don't understand, are you supporting MS or against Kinetic?

I'm not supportting/against anything but I do think their show is a bit over the top not only with things like a light up elephant on stage and dancers, but showing off your new game stuff with a "demo" which isn't actually a demo but an actor trying to sync his movements up with a video to make people feel like the guy is controlling the movements in game when he's not.

Basically I want real demonstrations and MS can cut the crap with this one as I do like their entertaining shows but ponchos, dancers, and actors "demoing" games is too much even for me.
