I still couldn't care less about Kinect..

Moncole5075d ago

You cared enough to comment.

nukeitall5075d ago

lol, somebody is still bitter about Kinect after 18 months!

jsslifelike5074d ago (Edited 5074d ago )

Awww, c'mon- with an utter lack of physical buttons, Kinect is pretty much the only way you'll ever experience SmartGlass in gaming. You don't like?

ALLWRONG5074d ago

Psychotica you need a 360 first.

Psychotica5074d ago

Sorry to burst your bubble, I got two of them..

LAWSON725074d ago

Ya because all xbox owners love kinect. I sure the hell dont and i have had a xbox since 07. Had kinect for a month because got black friday deal on xbox that came with and sold it because only useful thing it did was pause netflix after i said xbox pause five times. Too me kinect is nothing more than a gimmick.

Godz Kastro5075d ago (Edited 5075d ago )

Awesome to see that these techs are going to band together... Looking forward to other titles.

@Psychotica... Y comment then...sigh...

rezzah5075d ago

Personally I find it funny when anyone puts "sigh" in their comments.

Makes me think whatever caused them to type it made them depressed, like it was personal.

OC_MurphysLaw5075d ago

@rezzah.... if you read enough of the comments here at N4G is will depress you, hence the "sighs". Trying to have intelligent back and forth is a rare thing, voicing a counter argument or opinion often just gets people on the defensive rather than sparking a debate. "Trolling" is a term thrown around here like its water. Ultimately its disappointing because often you just want to have that good discussion, whether you are agreeing or not. Debate is healthy if you ask me, but here its more like cancer.

nukeitall5075d ago

@Dlacy13g

I gotta agree!

I found two people today, morganfell and GraveLord that instead of responding with an interesting discussion give me essentially a 2-sentence insult and blocked me! I wrote them at least 3-paragraphs explaining my viewpoint.

Goes to show, they at least deserved the single bubble. Who knows, they might be the same person, so yeah there is no debate. It's an attack of opinion.

People make fun of GAF here, but I find their responses far more intelligent.

green5075d ago

Morganfell is a lost cause. I am still waiting to see the Gears of War 2 that he saw running on a PS3 in 08.

Rezzah: Just ignore them. I have giving up on having intelligent conversations on this site.

Psychotica5075d ago

Umm, to voice my opinion? Are you suggesting we only comment on things we are interested in? That's ridiculous.

Godz Kastro5075d ago

Thats exactly what I am suggesting...

@Rezzah... It does depress me... sigh

FragMnTagM5075d ago

@Psychotica, I think you missed the point. This site heavily leans Sony and it is ok to bash MS, it's peripherals and games in every article, but if you were to do the same in a Sony article, you wouldn't have many bubbles left.

I only have three because I mad a somewhat negative comment in a Sony article a long time ago.

I have a PS, and play it every once in a while. Sony made a stupid decision, I voiced my opinion and lost two bubbles over it.

You can come into a XBOX article and make any negative comment you wish and receive no flak for it.

I guarantee you won't lose bubbles over comments like that in the XBOX section, but go try that in Sony articles and you will be down to one bubble in no time.

I think that is what he meant by why even comment if you don't like it.

GribbleGrunger5075d ago (Edited 5075d ago )

LOL. Jesus, some of you people live in an alternate reality

don't confuse legitimate criticism of Kinect with made up S**T about Sony products

greenpowerz5075d ago (Edited 5075d ago )

People disagree with you because you gave no input on the actual topic, you used the news as an excuse to attack Kinect. A comment like that suggests you have already made up your mind about Kinect so why do fans of Kinect need to be reminded of people not liking kinect every chance they can get? Most of which don't and will ever own a 360.

Anyways It's good MS is pushing this tech with software, place holder games or not.

It's like a story about Mario-U and a gamer going into the comment section and types that doesn't care about Wii-U in a tone that suggests the console is rubbish trying to set a anti Wii-u tone in the comment section. Do you understand?

Zhipp5075d ago

@FragMnTagM
Seriously? How could anyone do that? It's pretty friggin' cheap to subtract from someone's bubbles simply because they voiced an opinion that you find disagreeable. That's what the "disagree" button is for. I only click on that little "minus" button if someone makes a comment that is either flamebait, flaming, or simply lacking in common sense. Sheesh.

Anyway, I don't really care all that much for Smartglass when it comes to gaming, but I am intrigued of it's other features, and I do like where M$ is going with their integration of the PC, smartphone/tablet, and Xbox. I also gotta hand it out to Microsoft for actually supporting iOS and Android. That really impressed me... it still stinks that they chose to unveil it at E3 instead of some more appropriate event, though.

While im glad to see them implementing some form of my intial thought of how it would be used with kinect. I'm hoping they just make they use smartglass as something to help kinect with hardcore titles if done right it can be a great addition.

Godmars2905075d ago

Techs banding together to do what exactly? Make exclusive content on a platform which really isn't going to do anything different than ones similar to it?

dirigiblebill5075d ago

This is OXM's story. Somebody needs to learn to credit.

Nes_Daze5075d ago

Still don't see the point of interrupting the game to use a tablet when you can just press a few buttons and be done. Well, maybe we'll see SmartGlass put to better use with other games.

Windows 10 Xbox app gets Xbox One SmartGlass tech for future game streaming

Microsoft is migrating several functions formerly reserved for its Xbox One SmartGlass mobile app into the Xbox app for Windows 10, as it increasingly ties the Xbox One console to PCs and mobile devices. SmartGlass is a “second screen” app that was originally written for Windows Phone, allowing it, for example, to control aspects of a connected Xbox One.

--bienio--4079d ago (Edited 4079d ago )

I care more about cross buy then streaming, but for at the moment we Can only wait and see how things going on...anyway future is bright for Pc and xbox palyers;£

ScorpiusX4079d ago

Very cool , W10 is going to be a blast.

mhunterjr4079d ago

I don't have a gaming PC, but the idea of being able to play my Xbox from any room in the house, is very appealing to me!

Macdaddy714079d ago

I have been reading some threads people trashing MS for the streaming pc n x1.. But I love it!!! Going to lot better n more up to date games, then what Sony doing with ps now streaming Old games at a high price,.. I really think MS is going to nail the cross platform n streaming....

ThatOneRiggaNob4079d ago

People will trash Microsoft for anything they do. It's just the way this gen works. Also I don't see why you mentioned ps now since it's an actual streaming service and Xbox to win10 streaming is just you streaming your already owned games to a pc. They're not the same thing at all.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen4079d ago

The streaming feature is definitely a positive. I have no idea why anyone would think that cross platform streaming would be a bad thing.

That was to be expected. Good job MS. Keep the great games and features coming. By next year, I wont be surprised if they say the Xbox can transform

JohnJ4281d ago

Everyone I know who owns an xbox one, Is absolutely loving it. I have both and love both but I have to be honest, the xbox one is the better console.

Bonkerz4281d ago

I have to agree, i play a PS4 daily (my bestfriend has one and we live next to eachother) and even when he comes here he is blown away with all the features and stuff that can be done on the X1. The PS4 is a great console obviously but at this point in time hands down the X1 is better choice.

4Sh0w4281d ago

That's really awesome, I use my Samsung Galaxy phone to constantly stay updated with Xbox news, love android and this is just 1 more way I can use my phone to interact with my X1 gaming addiction.

Assault94281d ago

Is their a point to this?
Oh I see, the future of no kinect.

timlot4281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

Its really amazing how much effort they are putting in the platform. Every other day there is news of this new feature or that update. Can't wait for what next week is going to bring.

PsylentKiller4281d ago

I teals like this feature. Since is play mostly at night while my GF is sleeping, it's difficult to get the kinect to hear me when whispering. Now, I can just tap my phone. This is also good if there is a lot of background noise.

tgunzz4281d ago

Xb1 has so much to offer... I hope more, and more gamers pick one up, and enjoy it awesome feature set, and games... Game on.

AutoCad4281d ago

Xbox All in one Entertainment.

I have the beta app and didnt even know this though lol
