Forums - Microsoft - I stand corrected. Kinect no longer sucks!

It's pretty good tech, but it shouldn't be compulsory.

It also looks expensive, but we'll see what the games do with it.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Creeps me out at the possible implementations of the data the Kinect can collect.

They can tell that you're "engaged" or not? My god. Imagine if this data ever got into the hands of EA.

All Microsoft has to do to make Kinect "hardcore" friendly is let you change the "x-box" to whatever you want.

Imagine if you could be "Jarvis tv on" and maybe even go into settings and have it so that he sometimes would talk, like saying "hello Jim, welcome back" with a voice you wanted, such as Jarvis' from Iron Man.

People would love that. But No, saying "xbox" is just dumb. If it worked so that you didn't have to ever say "xbox" I would love it big time, or as I said above, if it let me change the name to what I wanted.

Cause watching this, everything seems amazing. Heck I would find it amazing without even games to play, just making my entertainment better. Being able to just say "go to espn, or mtv or fox, ect" without a remote is sweet, or swtiching from different devices like movie, tv, ect. It's all great. but I HATE the saying "xbox"

Hell what was xbox one's codename? orbis? That would be cool. Saying "orbis play movie" or ect. But freaking word "xbox" is lame. I think its the dang "x's" in it. Such a harsh sounding letter. or the lameness of saying "box" I mean really box, how untechy, cool, sophisisticated does that sound. I mean you have this amazing gadget and you call it a box?

 

Heck I have an App on my phone that is Iron Man based.  When I unlock my phone Jarvis goes "welcome back master" in his voice and he tells me the time and weather and other things.  Let companies sell Kinect themed apps.  So you could buy voice set for Jarvis or the car from knight rider, or other cool things.

Yes, so much yes!

the fingers still jump around but this is a good improvement over the first one and they still have time to iron out the bugs

The technology doesn't suck, no. It seems very advanced.

However, when you can't do something as basic as moving a character around, something which can be done on the Magnavox Odyssey (if that rectangle counts as a character at least), you know it's useless for games.

How does it perform in less than ideal environments, which are likely to be found in many customers' houses especially outside the US? Small, dark, crowded or low contrast conditions? Foreign or nonstandard accents? People with disabilities or limited movement ranges?

None of that would be a problem if the Kinect wasn't compulsory.


Did you not watch the video?

lag - gone
no light? - no problem
small area? - done deal (of course physical limitation of many players can hamper this, but that's common issue on any console)
5 simultaneous players registered. (vs 2 .. poorly before)

It's basically sounding like what the original Kinect was promised to be.
