Forums - Microsoft - Cliff Bleszinski Hits Out At Kinect Hate

So his a Microsoft shill with a reason to defend an integration on his upcoming game, that's what it basically comes down to. The same thing could be applied to Ken Levine and the Move, his little presentation was gut wrenching, only because you can actually see the bulge of money slowly trickling out of his pockets.

Also, Kinect as a secondary device isn't the problem, if it could be ignored, then cool, but it can't be because it's being shoved down my throat every time I want to do something related to the 360. Oh hey, I need a new 360 S, what's that? Not one bundle in Melbourne comes without a Kinect? They want me to pay an extra $150 for a peripheral that is pretty horrible? No thank you. As a current 360 owner who doesn't own a Kinect (like the other 40 million people), Microsoft had nothing for me this E3, they've showed what their focus is on and it's not me and it's because they've decided that putting all their resources towards Kinect is a much better strategy for them.

Basically, Cliffy is an idiot and a shill and the day I listen to anything he says is the day I take motion controls seriously.

Agreed. Cliffy needs to make his mind up if he hates triggers or plastic.

He makes some good points. The Kinect hate is definitely WAY overboard. They showed it can be used in cool ways with core games as well as more game built with it in mind. I was satisfied by Microsoft`s Press Conference but wished for some more game reveals. Not a bad conference but not their best either.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.
