Forums - Microsoft - 2011 line up ultimately all about Kinect? - Stephen McGill

M.U.G.E.N said:

Microsoft has claimed that its 2011 will "ultimately be all about Kinect" - as the device spearheads a "brilliant" line-up on 360.

MS's director of Xbox and Entertainment for the UK, Stephen McGill, was asked what the secret to Xbox's success so far had been in the latest issue of Xbox World 360.

As you may expect, he said it mainly came down to "incredible games", but added: "It's also about great entertainment and that's another key factor for us. We were the first company - and the best company, I think - to offer regular updates to our service so you don't have to keep on buying new bits of hardware.

"Every few months we've been doing new services such as introducing movies and music so we continue to evolve."

Discussing next year's prospects, McGill added: "As for the future, we've got a brilliant line-up for 2011 but it's ultimately all about Kinect. Kinect is going to blow people's minds. They're [already] buying it, but we've got a line-up of Kinect games that will blow people away."

Kinect is not new hardware?

And surely if you bought an arcade you would need a hdd to watch movies? Last movie I rented was a 11gb download, had to delete pretty much everything on my 20gb 360

Enjoying Alan Wake atm with dual analog control. Perfect game for dark winter nights.

Will buy kinect after my mind has been blown by the reviews of the brilliant line-up.

kinect is really limited, they should stop focusing on it, it would take years of experience to perfectly introduce into gaming. but those games would also require buttons.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

I don't see anyone implying it will be ALL kinect titles, the interview makes no such suggestions. And until you came in spouting this nonsense everyone was having a good discussion on it. Take your own advice.

Looks at the OP, looks at the thread title, turns and leaves the thread. Sad.

Why would I get banned for that comment?   This thread does have more non 360 owners than 360 owenrs. It is started by a PS3 fan and it is obvious what the intent is.

Happy xmas everyone!

I wasn't referring to that particular comment,but anyway it doesn't matter anymore :D.

Happy Christmas to you too.

No MUGEN, everyone had a good Kinect bashfest, that's different of a good discussion.

 

Microsoft first party lineup can be more kinect oriented, but X360 has always been about third party games mostly. I'm sure that third parties won't make mainly kinect games, so this thread makes no sense. X360 2011 lineup will have mostly kinect games from microsoft, and mostly gamepad hardcore games from third parties, that's all.



Just so as long as I get my Halo: CE remake, PGR5, Gears 3, and Kingdoms should it be good, I'm fine with the core side. There's already too many games in 2011 as it is.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

>.>  I see no bashing..people commented and said hey that's ok as long as we get a good dose of core games or/and hybrid games. That's the overall tone of most of the comments.These are from ms fans and non fans alike so far. Only kowen came up and started his paranoid rant about not comprehending what the interview mentions or something when everyone has posted accordingly. No one said anything in the lines of next years MS line up is only kinect games or anything. It's just unneeded paranoia and baiting.

w/e tho, it's a news article, not an opinion piece. No spin, no BS, direct interview. Just because I posted it doesn't mean it's a bash thread. some of you need to chill.
