Forums - Gaming - Does a Kinect-less Xbox One Signals the Death of Motion Gaming?

I think the rest of the year will be a year of revival for motion controls. You heard that right.

MK8 of course.
A big push to keep the Just Dance franchise alive.
Motion controls for Project Cars.
Wii Sports Club baseball and boxing.
Something nifty motion-control wise for the DS4 for the PS4.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Project morpheus. No.

I think I speak for a lot of people. I will be using the Gamepad for MK8. As a controller only. No motion control please!

I used the Gamepad motion control in Need for Speed MWU and it was awesome! The larger controller lends itself better to motion wheel controls.

There is actually a chance for revival thanks to VR.

If you take it exactly, VR IS motion gaming.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Motion control didn't die by this Kinect unbundling. Motion control has been dead for at least two years, it's just that Microsoft didn't get the memo until last week.

Excellent article, really enjoyed reading it, thank you.

Really? I have not yet tried it. Only the regular controls. I guess I should at least give it a chance.


It took me about 1-2 hours to really adjust to. Really cool experience -- made the game feel entirely new and different. Made finding hidden locations, going on chases way more fun. At first made races more difficult -- but so much more satisfying if you won with motion controls. Eventually got to to point where I could race as-good or better with motion than with the analog stick.

Motion gaming began with the wii and should have died with the wii but sadly, nope, its not the end T_T

(And I know Nintendo didn't invent motion gaming but they did make it popular for all you haters)

I'm sorry, but I play video games either chill out, let off steam, or get caught in the experience (ala Uncharted or MGS). If I wanted to play golf or bowl, I'd just go out and do it. And for the type of mini games in Kinect Sports Rivals (like the river, inflatable boat, jumping mini game), I'll just, you know....exercise, if it's a matter of being active. I don't need a "high score" to enjoy moving around.



Most likely...which is pity, I hoped that either Sony or Nintendo would come up with break-apart controller that can serve as both standard controller AND motion gaming controller.

And yeah, for all the folks out there telling themselves how FPS games are not better with Wiimote or Move...yeah, keep telling that to yourself.

tbh, I'm not that hyped about Morpheus, its not what I plan to pay PS+ plus for.

I want my MP3 support! I want my exclusives!
