i wouldnt say everyone there console is turning into a 90% casual 10 hardcore least that wat i got from the past 2 E3 press conferences now.

Simon_Brezhnev5818d ago

if you buy Kinect for $150 just so you can watch tv shows/movies without a remote you are truly dumb.

nygamer285818d ago

Your avatar is genious!

sinclaircrown5818d ago

I saw a unviersal remote control at best buy last week that costs $199.

I love to hate this website. So many childish comments on here its unreal.

People will buy Kinect, and I'm sure most of them will be casuals and guess what? They will enjoy it for what it is. Something most morons on here can't seem to understand. Playing games for what they are!

boodybandit5818d ago (Edited 5818d ago )

The problem MS is going to have with this unit is it's price point. It is already listed on a couple sites for $149 without a 360 unit. Which means there might be bundles at around $299. Do you really think people are going to storm to Kinect when it's so similar to what the Wii does, and the Wii already has a HUGE established library of games, for a higher price?

Triella5818d ago

Why buy Kinect when some Toshiba TV's already use motion control interface

SOAD5818d ago

It's as dumb as paying 3500 dollars to watch a couple of films in 3D.

What i don't understand with this Kinect thing is, what if your watching tv on or a video and you want to reach for a beer or go toilet or pick your nose or scratch your head or sneeze or speak to your family or answer the phone or whatever.

Do i have to sit there like a vegetable for fear of activating something by mistake? Can i watch a movie in the dark?

ad4mb5818d ago

lmao pause to scratch your head.... :-)

nycredude5818d ago

What happens if you want to rub one out?

sinclaircrown5818d ago

Its activated when you say "xbox" followed by the command you need.

Gobuz5818d ago

I can just see it now:

Family sitting down to watch a movie.

Dad "Nobody fkin move!"

Son "Dad i need a wee"

Dad "Hold it"

Gobuz5818d ago

Do i really want to shout at my Console when all i want to do is press play/pause etc. It's like my voice recognition on my phone, i used it for 5 minutes and i haven't used it since.

SOAD5818d ago

You sound like one of those infomercials that make it seem like slicing a tomato is the hardest thing in the world. Why do you assume that you have to shout at the television? Don't you think you're being a little melodramatic for the sake of spreading FUD about Kinect?

BumpFrankie5818d ago

Microsoft let every hardcore gamer down today. Every. Single. One. They arent transforming shit, onlying copying casual peices of trash and aiming for a totally new market. Here's to my leap to Apple and Sony. FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

atticus145818d ago

hmm your mad over casual yet promoting Apple?

Somnipotent5818d ago

they must have gotten a free 360 too.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde27d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy28d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12527d ago (Edited 27d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
