well i think they might be right cause me and my dark skinned freind were playing in the night and they could not recocnise him.

Yes and it does have a few lag problems like when i was playing kinect adventures i had to do one action a couple times to actually make it happen

I played at night and had no problems...but maybe for your friend it was completely dark, and your friend was Black as coal, and not just dark skinned.  BTW, where you there when this "dark skinned freind" was playing, or was it hearsay...like the rumor that was spreading on the internet?

LOL...who dug this old thread up...I would think SONY would have paid VGChartz to get it removed...lol.

you need more than that

yeah he was black and had it had problems recocnising him. kinect adventures also gave my xbox rrod and i had it barley over a year while i had my ps3 for two years and it's still working fine and i have no lag problems with sports champions!

Well I guess the egg is on your face then Sony as the public thought it was ready and still do and as they are the ones who buy your products it probably means little wether you felt it was ready or not.

Sounds like you need to stay away from Xbox brand...btw...the black/kinect thing was debunked by consumer reports...but keep spreading the word, it might catch.  Also, what's RROD have to do with lag again?

It's true, quoting myself from a couple of months before Kinect launched:

"The IMO top three biggest problems with Kinect is:

1) A very noticeable response lag. This kills the potential of fast paced accurate gaming. In part this is due to the too slow camera and in part due to the additional processing going on taking too much time.

2) No analog stick/buttons or triggers. It can't recognize seperate fingers, so even pretending you are pulling an imaginary trigger on an imaginary gun won't work (which IMO would be ackward anyway, holding nothing and pretending). Also look at the Starwars game under development, you can't rotate your view nor manually walk this while lightsaber slashes display notieable lag...

3) The camera is IMO far too big and ugly and pretty expensive for what you get.

Technical specifications Playstation Eye vs Kinect cameras:

Kinect in addition to normal camera also includes an infrared camera, which could allow it to do better in different light situations, but likely not in the case of Playstation Eye Playstation Move cases for most games.

Horizontal field of view:

Kinect: 57 degrees
Playstation Eye: 75 degrees

Vertical field of view:

Kinect: 43 degrees
Playstation Eye: 56 degrees

With 16 bit color depth:

Kinect: 320 x 240 @ 30 FPS
Playstation Eye: 320 x 240 @ 120 FPS

With 32 bit color depth:

Kinect: - (not supported)
Playstation Eye: 640 x 480 @ 60 FPS

Audio:

Kinect: 16 bit audio @ 16 kHz
Playstation Eye: 16 bit audio @ 48 kHz"

I tried to warn people, but many were just too hyped (like for the fake Milo demo). I find Kinect to be pretty destructive for hardcore gaming on the XBox. Half of the XBox game shelf space here is now dedicated to predominantly crappy Kinect-only games.

I also mentioned the additional resource requirement compared to Move and I find his comments interesting that he just like me thinks Kinect is mostly usefull for dancing/exercises games/programs, that's exactly what I once wrote. IMO don't expect much hardcore game support for Kinect, unlike for Playstation Move.

wow move just owned kinect ^

that is sad and here i was thinking kinect is technicaly better than move even though i had much more fun with move than kinect
