So it beats the wii at mini games, I know you had a good time and all that but games like that are fun for the few minutes then get stale fast, I can see a bunch of people running out to buy kinect then letting it collect dust after the first week, I'm not really seeing any interesting games at all for it, if the dance game is the best it can do then people are going to get bored fast, enough though they are getting sucked in with the mini games


I just replied to you bashing Halo:Reach in a Move thread and now I'll reply to your idiocy here. The Kinect will offer a core experience in the future. Games have already been announced for it at TGS and we will see some more later on. Kinect isn't even out yet and you're trying to pigeon hole it into a mini game only add on. Kinect will be able to offer alot of experiences Wii can but the 360 itself offers experiences the Wii can only dream of because of its inferior tech. Kinect is going to persuade some new buyers to jump in because the 360 is more powerful hardware that offers a hardcore experience but a casual experience in Kinect. Like I said Kinect will have core games in the future.

Its funny you said that it looks fun for a few minutes but will get stale fast. These are the exact comments and views that every person I know who has bought a Wii has told me. It was fun as first but it was a gimmick that collects dust now.

Keep blowing hot air, announced and playable are two different things, we saw gameplay of core ps3 games for move long before it was released, all we've seen with kinect is forza which seemed to control like crap from what everyone saw 

Blowing hot air? Kinect isn't even out. Your trolling 360 everything is annoying. Reminds me of someone else. Don't think I even need to mention the name.  Reported.

What part of we saw gameplay for core games long before move was out didn't you read? and what are you reporting me for having an opinion contrary to yours and what the current propaganda is 

Those few words show us your bias against the product. You're free to not like it but you havent tried it yet and are attacking the opinions of others who have.

I never said the mini games weren't fun, I said they will get old fast, same thing happened with the wii, and of course the propaganda is it is revolutionary and will work perfectly for everything, but the fact is we haven't seen it work well for a single non-mini/dance game

OK your right MS is just going to release the Kinect device and spend millions upon millions of $ on marketing and sales and in a couple of months just abandon it.    In the same couple of months that MS releases Halo Reach and Fable 3 and 3rd parties release AAA titles for hardcore gamers MS is concentrating on the casual audience with Kinect.  The core games will come, but launching with Core gamers in mind would only do 1 thing. They would sell more Kinect devices to Core gamers and less Kinect 360 bundles to Casual gamers.   What do you think MS wants to sell more of?

As for mini-games being good for only short gameplay sessions. Difference with the 360 compared to the Wii is you have all those great core games that can also satisfy the need to long game play sessions.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I'm not saying their abandon it I'm saying core games on it aren't going to control properly or well, the only core game we even got a peek at so far is forza and for what I could tell the controls were awful compared to a controller, we saw several core games for ps3 move long before the launch control really well, and why did you bring up halo reach and fable 3 neither of them have kinect support

Sony fans are on a mission when it comes to kinect and the total failure of move has made them even angrier and more ruthless. When the first post-kinect NPDs come out i expect suicides...

I never actually played Kinect but when I saw the games being played I noticed tons of lag. Dance Central was perhaps the best at hiding the lag but Deca Sports for example was so bad that the players punched and about a second or two later the punch showed up. Plus the punches didn't look one to one they looked like premade movements much like the Wii's games.

I was really turned off, but I've heard it just looks horrible and that while playing you don't even notice. I wish I could have gone hands on but the line was at least an hour long and I had better games to check out. A friend of mine played Dance Central and Just Dance 2, he said Just Dance 2 was more fun.

Do you know if theirs a Kinect demo station in Vancouver since I don't live far from Vancouver I'd love to actually play the thing.

 

P.S - I can't even buy it if I wanted. I live in an apartment and even playing WiiFit and Donkey Konga I got noise complaints from the apartment below. Playing Kinect would be very noisy...too bad...

Total failure?  How do you figure that?
