This is a rather splendiferous You Tube from a guy called Monty dispelling some of the complete bumkum that our more focused fanboys come out with. This edition focuses on Move and Kinect and I think he is accurate on both counts and is well worth a view.

it sound correct, but i need a fact checker for this.



Nice vid.  I would recommend changing the title, though, to reflect that its about Kinect and Move.  Might get more interest then.



He changed it.

Can I change a title one a thread has started?

It's nice that he said everything so bluntly but there is no reasoning with a fanboy and no point in arguing with them.  Fanboys are devoid of rational though thus a rational discussion is pointless.  The only way to kill a fanboy is to ignore them into oblivion. 

I like the video though and that he didn't try to say which was better.  He just stated the differences and some info. about the tech. 

Do ya'll think his shows are good and worth watching?  I always like a good tech. nerd.



meh.... a bit to much talk but he does explain the tech correctly.

saying the PSmove isn't a ripoff at all is a bit overdone though... it's a wiimotionplus with depth tracking (well Wii could do it using the sensor bar as a distance reference point... but it would be only a workaround and the wiimote would need to be pointed always at the screen, so it can't really do it)... but the rest is just the same tech improved by 2 years. He did use the correct term though, an "evolution" of the wiimote. (i'm wondering if the pointer tracking is just as accurate though.... the ball is rather small so may be less accurate than the wider sensor bar when you're far from the TV... this will just have to be experienced to see...). Oh and it traded the nunchuck cord for the ability to have 3-4 players... not sure that was smart (4 players with nunchuk), as it is aimed at capturing the casual crowd  too...

On eyetoy/kinect there's not even a similarity in the way the 2 work... so yeah.

oh noes what has you sad in a treed about how it's not and stuff. (just anticipating)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

oh and he's totally wrong about the keyboard/mouse... motion will never beat it for RTS (though they might make it playable).

and for FPS... well the mouse is more accurate than realistic aim, so...

but the keyboard itself sux :p plus it ain't couch friendly

Fun and well made video. Between hephaestos, for your personal knowledge, rip-off isnt quantitative. Its not possible for something to partially be a rip-off. Either it is (completely) or it isnt (at all). Since you personally admit that "evolution" was a correct term, you also admit by definition that it isnt a rip-off (at all).
