I'm really waiting on the Japanese titles before I say it's complete crap.

Coudnt agree more, cant believe microsoft is repeating their previous e3! And are they blind to see that kinect does not work on some games!!! star wars looked horrible.

You mean last year's E3 which helped them reverse the trends in the whole history of consoles by actually increasing sales AND succesfully launching an expensive peripheral and having all their financials up?

Yes.  As a corporation, you certainly wouldn't want to repeat THAT.  God forbid.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

If they hadn't had Dance Central it would have flopped. None of these games displayed today will continue that trend... not for $150. Needs to be $40.

sucks horribly.

massive lag.

no actual movement controls.

I've said it since it was first mentioned, as it stands its just not compatible with 99% of game genres. Trying to force it to fit into FPS, TPS, and many others is just stupid and a waste of time.

They want to touch a core genre that might actually do well? Try RTS or Civilization.

Only if the finger tracking actually works well... Which I doubt since it didn't seem to be used by any actual game, not even the ones which involved aiming and could make use of it.

That makes a ton of sense. It's not like it got outsold by Kinect Sports or anything. Oh wait...

I agree with you,  but we can't win sadly...  First they complain that MS doesn't make effort in creating new Kinect titles and that their is no hardcore title who works with kinect.....now MS shows a bunch of new Kinect titles and hardcore titles that use Kinect and people complain they look horrible..

It is the same with the 'no exclusives for X360 complainers' First complain that their are no games....Now MS showed us that in the period September-december X360 will have Gears of war 3, Forza 4, Halo Anniversary, Witcher 2, Minecraft,   5 games that will probably have a plus 90 rating on metacritic, have all huge sales potential and the best of all are 5 different genres (and I am not including all the Kinect stuff and other games I forget at the moment) and people still go on like   'Wow another Gears of war, anoter Forza, Anoter Halo....and 2 PC games...now I really want to buy a X360 LMAO'...

We can't defend us because it is their opinion even if their complains may simply be trolling.

The Witcher 2 and Minecraft are not exclusives, they are also available on the PC.

Are we still rehashing this?  The pool of gamers who play (and actually legally buy) titles like Witcher 2 or COD on BOTH console and PC is quite small when you're talking 100 million Xboxes and PS3s out there.  

Yes, you're probably one of them, as are many on this site.   But in the marketplace console exclusive is, for all intents and purposes, exclusive. 

I'd never even think to buy Witcher 2 on PC.  I'll probably buy it Day One on 360.  And I spend dozens of hours a week playing games on 360/PS3/PC/Mac/iPhone/DS.  

 



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

Talking about the new Call of Duty there?

Seriously though, hardcore gamers may not like what kinect has to offer but my mom and my sister play it all the time. They don't care it has delay and that its on rails.


Good for them.

Rehashed, invalid arguments?

Look who's talking.

The voice control is all software. They could have done it with the regular headset. Bing on Windows Phone 7 has voice control. I'm pretty sure they are just porting the code over to the 360. It's got the same commands almost. 'Search ....." "Start..." "Call...."
