I found them...just not good.

Around the Network

so MS admit kinect will really make you look like an idiot while you playing it

that's why even their commercial also showing you this fact

feel sad for those people who pre-order it

seems like they looking forward to act like an idiot after all

Well.

Taken a leaf out of the NIntendo approach with DS and Wii (less so) to show the experience rather than the actual game.

Which considering the target demographic is very sensible.


Not really.

Nintendo commercials tend to highlight how your movements affect gameplay, with flips between smiley happy people moving Wiiremotes/Stylus and what's going on on-screen.

These commercials just show smiley happy people doing weird things with their bodys (YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER) but not much on-screen footage, specifically nothing demonstrating the effect their movements are having.

These ads don't have much of an impact really, they're more like teasers. But with just under 2 months to go Mircosoft will be releasing a lot more soon.



his voice is kind of boring. lifeless, other than that ita fine

Since when people play games to look good?

I think these ads are targeted more toward the casual crowd. I would prefer something more science fiction myself. lol



They are bad. I can't really put my finger on it, but like Reasonable said, MS seems to be marketing the concept rather than the games, and I have a hard time following exactly what is happening since all that is shown are people playing some mystery game and then a quick flash of the game.

It just doesn't work for me.

I have to say that this commercial totally blows away those kinect ads in terms of telling people how fun playing with motion controls can be.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I just feel like people might think it's a joke :/



Those are bad.  But I think Kinect sucks, so that's probably why I feel that way.

By the way, can you play these games sitting down?  Yes or no?

Agreed. Even the move ads were good in that perspective. But these just look a bit.. stupid. All you're seeing is people dancing around(like some said as idiots). The WSR and move ads showed that you're connected to the game, this shows nothing of that. Really bad commercial imo
