Everything they are working on is kinect shovelware... or likely to be atleast 

And? So what if it is? Kinect wasn't about bringing better games to the table, neither was the Wiimote, it was about putting Nintendo back on top and Microsoft wanted the same and it is working, continue playing it down if you like.

really? out of fear of being called a troll i will with hold my opinion about that.

but im curious, do any of you xbox fans think that this is a "core" if not do you think kinect can do something more than that, that could make it a core game?



^this game not develop by MS,and it's XBLA game

Forza 4, it's a normal game augmented with Kinect and perfectly playable without it. Kinect alone i'm sure could get a few neat games just like the Wii (SMG 1 & 2 and thats it) but the vast, vast majority of Kinect games are going to be shovelware (or simply would just control better on a regular controller), just like the Wii and this is well known ahead of time - the idea of Kinect was appeal to the casuals who bought into the Wii gimmick, be sold at a profit and get loads of exclusives, which it has.

Well if you're a proponent to motion controls being synonymous to shovelware games, i'd suggest you avoid the Wii, the PS3, IPAD/Iphone/iPOD, NDS, 3DS, the NGP and Xbox 360 bundled with Kinects..and PCS too. PSP should be ok tho.

Not motion controls just camera controlers, they don't work and my point was MS doesn't make any good games and all they are expanding on is shovelware

This studio just formed?  When are we supposed to see what they're working on, 3 years??  It's almost like this is a Xbox Next move ...

According to the resume it has been active for at least 15 months.

No we don't it's more likely going to be a rail shooter, which isn't a full feldge game by todays standards 

Thank goodness we have you to tell us what fully fledged games are.

Also Microsoft has yet another first party studio on the rise based in London

Greetings! I’m David Mondelore, and I work at a game studio in Soho, central London. We’re part of Microsoft Game Studios, and we’re hard at work on the next generation of titles for Kinect for Xbox 360. We’re very passionate about building great experiences, and combining the latest techniques with our own ideas and creative solutions. We work at a rapid pace, prototyping and testing experiences with real audiences, with the goal of getting them into the hands of millions of people with products we will ship directly.

0_0 holy shit microsoft game studios is growing
