If kinect is the future of gaming, then that future will not involve me.

You mean the Wii U Gamepad?

If you can stick it in your pocket and then use it again 100 miles away then sure, I mean the gamepad.

Oh so you're talking about Remote Play?

Depends.

As the sole input device for gaming? Absolutely not.

As an enhancement to traditional gaming controls? It's possible.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

I use it every day too, "Xbox Play".

And I think it's more fun to go, "Xbox, Bing, Find me that show I want to watch." than tap, tap, tap, stuff in the  keyboard.  I think the more people that try it the more people like it.

lol its better now i remember when i first got it i was like xbox bing dammit jennifer lopez

I know! What's up with her - it's like she thinks she is the friggin' Loch Ness Monster.

I was like - you go away and leave me alone Ms. Lopez!

(PS Someone must keep giving her three fiddy.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

well I said it's the future of gaming..... but not for now.... I mean the concept is probably gonna be a part of most games in the future.... but it needs serious amelioration...

me yes I use it everyday but to navigate menus or play videos pause then rewind etc.... cause by the time I turn my game pad on I can already tell the console to do what I want.... or better yet I don't have to let go of my pizza slice :D

motion control... why not.... but that will be more when display tech will improve the day you have a 360 Kinect motion sensor with some form of wide picaprojector.... it could be great for a lot of stuff.... that with augmented reality glasses I could see it be great in a lot of simulation... strategy games or even RPG.... basically living the screen free for full display and the rest for the HUD inventory etc.....

so yeah.... the future of gaming will have some form of motion and sound control.... imagine playing a poker game holding cards only you see through your VR cards in a projected 3D casino setting... and then playing Time cop croping behind your couche.... or starcraft 36 with all the hud display open on side displays... using your hand to command....

it's all about the quality of the tech.... the better it gets the more hardcore it can get...

i really hope Microsoft believes it is



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
