When I saw this at the conference, I felt it was absolutely pointless.

Looking at the thread title, I would not be surprised if it was true. And why wasn't Kinect playable today?

it wasn't? I was under the impression that people would be playing it on the floor, right?

Kinect Motorsports will not be a simulation, at least it won't be while using Natal to drive.  Could be neat though.

What acting out of a cut scene?  What I saw was that one bit people talk about at the end of a cut scene, where the character on screen moved before he did.  Are you saying the ENTIRE video consisted of faking it, where the game did everything before he did?  All people harped on was that ONE scene, and how it happened before.  I brought up that it was MAYBE that coming out of the cut scene that the game acted before he did, and then the player took control.  Why is that not plausible?  But no, people have to look and try to find fault here, where there is very likely none needed to be found.  But hey, in the fanboy wars, it is critical to find fault here, even if there is none.

But Forza is not simulation.

OP. The cursor move before the hand of player, this is a fact... but I don't know if this a fake or just a pré-animation of  cursor.

Geez between Leo and rol...these boards are becoming trash today.

Theres just no winning vs blind fanbois.

I haven't found ONE user reaction.... there is another, separate Kinect conference right?

Getting your fill of your fanbois quota?

star wars was super obvious, microsoft trying to fool people the thing isn't ready

Yes, people have been playing with Kinect.  Read several impressions yesterday.  Eurogamer seemed to like it.
