Gameolosophy: "The Xbox One will launch later this year in November- not so far away, and it requires the Kinect attachment to always be on in order for it to be operational. There are many reasons why gamers prefer a Kinect free Xbox One, here I will list and explain three major reasons."
"Nothing is off the table right now."
BioWare's multiplayer shooter Anthem was terminated this week because EA no longer wanted to maintain servers for people to play the game on, and without them, no one can play the game. But the former executive producer of Anthem has revealed that BioWare had technology working, close to the game's release, that would enable us to host our own servers to play the game on.
I'd be fine just playing it as a localhost and dumb as rocks AI bots. Just give me the choice.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When you think about it, the essence of every game is problem-solving in one way or another. For the puzzle genre, that's expressed through a series of brainteasers. A challenge is placed at your feet and you're pushed to understand it with limited contextual clues. From industry veterans to relative newbies, familiar franchises to brand-new IPs, 2025 saw a deluge of impressive puzzlers. Among our finalists are not merely well-designed templates based on familiar staples; a couple move the genre forward in interesting directions."
thos are the top 3 complaints I see people talking about too. not all but some want it and dont mind the price/surveillance and want motion gaming.
my opinion is I believe it should be a choice. I never owned a Kinect ive seen it in action and it looked cool but I dont like to get up and dance or move around lookin like a idiot. gameing to me is a relaxing stress reliever. give me a beer, a blunt, a couch/recliner, and a controller and im in heaven. if im too lazy to press the on button on the controller then id buy a Kinect...but im not and wouldnt spend $100 just for that..I know I does more than that but thats all id do with it...my recliner is too comfortable my beer is too cold and my blunt is too fire for me to be getting up doing motion controlled games.
oh and skype.....thats what else it does!....but so does my laptop. id rather play games and talk on the mic than to try and look at two screens simultaneously. I know to see the expression on a noobs face before he rage quits would be awsome...still not worth $100+ tax
All them reasons when I first heard about the xbone was why I didn't want one,and now they are changing the policies,because they care(so they say) they have made consoles before why all the stupid policies when they first showed it off,a really dumb idea.
This is why I've put down for sonys ps4 because no stupid policies and better price and the option to buy the eye if I choose to. I've had my 360 for 7 years and all I wanted was an updated 360 to kill all the competition sadly Ms failed.
How can anyone disagree man some people have no brains lol
i really don't see why Microsoft hasn't made it optional already.Everyone knows that the kinect is the reason as to why it cost more than the main competition And making a optional kinect version would certainly move product.I've seen so many peple on the web talking about how they would buy an xbox one if it came without the kneict that i know it would sell way more without it.
I agree with everything listed in the article.
I don't understand the argument the Devs will program for it if it's a mandatory attachment, Umm no not necessarily, yes they could but that doesn't mean they will and that doesn't mean what they use won't be lame and forced.
Of all the launch title listed for the Xbox One the only game that went out of their way to showcase anything to do with Kinect was the new COD game and that was lame, a few of the others said it would use Kinect and/or smartglass but didn't really get in depth with it.
Microsoft is making the same mistake (only in reverse) as they did with the 360 and the arcade unit not having a hard drive.
