You can use playstation devices with kinect..  Or... anything, for that matter..  Just... Hold the controller, or steering wheel, or whatever while you play na-...kinect...  I'm not getting it, though.. move is a maybe... but, not kinect..

I don't know about you, but I think everyone is right

 

I don't think I can really play games by moving arms. I would feel like an idiot pretending to turn the wheel of a thing in my hand or aiming at a screen to shoot. I feel like it would be like third grade *pew pew pew*.

This isn't meant to bash the Wii in any way. I think it will be a great success. But I personally can't bring myself to wave my hands and feet around in pretend space. I would feel kinda stupid doing it.

I suggest you get used to it. The 720 is launching next year or the year after, and it will only support a gamepad to the degree that the Wii supports GC/classic controllers. Get good at using Natal now so that when the next Halo after reach uses it, you won't get pwned too badly

Sony is simply awesome. They even troll themselves when it opens the possibility to trash talk their competition. Or am I the only one remembering the Eyetoy?

except for a couple games, the majority of sony fans think the eye-toy is garbage.

OT: I agree and disagree. Natal will not be a huge success.

Ms won't make it through next gen if they do that.

Nintendo always had these quirky kind of control sytles and games that let them take full advantage of that. MS brand games are controller-based, and none of them look like what they showed on kinect.

The reason i will get kinect day 1 is not because of the games but because of the other functions, such as video chat, voice recognition and hands free menu surfing!

Just pick up your wife/girlfriend/mothers/friends/brothers dildo and wave that shit around for Kinect.

Cannot be any worse than just "pew pew pewing" can it?

Does holding wants with lighted bulbs at the end really excite people either?  Do you feel cool doing this?  What I am seeing is the guys who cover E3, end up thinking they look silly holding the lighted wands.

Ok, how about a game like boxing, for example, where you just box?

i personally would much rather have a physical controller in my hands, but i think MS is on to something here... don't know how successful it'll be, but kinect will probably have a loyal following.


Id buy a Xbox and a kenect right now if it was cheeper

that seems to be a fairly common sentiment.

I don't see how anyone (including Sony fans) can have a favorable opinion of the PSEye (I'm skipping over EyeToy because I never bothered to buy one) seeing as how they only supported the peripheral for the first year with some screen savers, a couple hand moving games and Eye of Judgement (great concept that worked, but too much set up time with all the cards required to play).

Other than that, the only other PSEye retail game was Eye Pet.

It's pretty tough to have a favorable opinion on a peripheral with next to nothing to base it on.

I suppose it works pretty well for video chat, but probably not what a lot of people bought one for.
