This is to good to pass up guys. The similarities is just way to obvious in most points. I'm just not convince with what MS is saying about kinect, I'm not impressed at all.


Woot! Sony 2nd party dev propaganda. It's not even worth the time it takes to watch the video :D


Doesn't Richard Marks actually work directly for Sony. Are you referring to his shirt?

He works for Insomniac,no? Technically not employed directly, hence why I said 2nd party.

Wait, crap >.<. I can't read today. He might work directly for Sony, yes I guessed just from his shirt

Edit 2: Hahahahah xD 

You're right. He worked on both Eyetoy and the wand



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

here is a similar comparison.

two cars.. both get you from A to B, infact they are extremely similar, 4 wheels, two doors, a steering wheel, use the same fuel and have the same purpose.

 

The car below is not in any way different to the upper one. Its just up to today tech and design. Your example is perfect.

I agree totally, one car is garbage... the other isn't...  and there is actually only a few years between them too.

Yes, and the other car is garbage when compared to something way better from a "few years" after its launch.

 

EDIT: The situation gets worst if the car isn't up to the tasks it was marketed and fake promoted on its reveal.

 

Don't know if that's the case with the aston martin, but thats the case with kinect.

No I think he is just wearing that as a fan in the video. Last I checked he was head of R&D at SCEA.

its all about, how to sell it to people.

Sony could get all casual market with eyetoy, but they didnt.

It M$ turn, and they will.

So you're saying the PS2 EyeToy was garbage and Kinect is perfect?  I agree this thread is probably undeeded, but you're showing plenty of bias yourself there.

Like it or not the EyeToy is a clear predecessor for Kinect and a lot of the gaming concepts its trying to support.  And at this point, pre-release and with a review embargo I think we can't yet assume it's a perfect success.

On Topic a bit more - of course there's a lot of superficial similarities, both devices are trying to deliver similar experiences and they have some common features and capabilities, particularly around using your movements and voice as inputs.

Kinect is for sure overall more advanced in terms of the skeletal tracking, etc. - but as of this point only a few titles seem to hint at the difference that will bring to the actual gameplay so it's early days to say if it's really going to add anything new to gaming that much beyond the EyeToy (and similar devices on PC and the like).

Seriously, these forums are becoming a real den of bitterness at the moment.


Listen... the amount of Kinect bashing is totally out of control. EVERY single Kinect thread has crap thrown.  And no. it wasnt like this in all the Move threads.  It just wasnt... and any or most of the crap thrown in move threads was from the Ninty side.  I dont understand all of this "copying" crap from sony and ninty fans, its so childish.    Wahahhh we were first.. you copied!! tantrum tantrum.. its like a bunch of infants.


I get that.  Really.  But you know Kinect shows every sign of being a big success, you shouldn't let it get to you.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
