Couldn't find if it's been submitted already,so I put it up anyway.Apologies if it's already on here.

Why are their avatars girls?

Chubear5647d ago

So many "well BAM!" moments in that vid. Awesome stuff

Lol wow those avatars were glitching so bad!

I hope people see Kinect for what it is and realise MS has edited all of the adverts and "Live" Demos to make it look like it actually works.

darthv725647d ago

tech demos are cool to watch. They show how something 'could' work not always the exact representation of the finished product.

I agree on the pr stuff. That e3 presentation where the kid scans the skateboard in was impressive at first but very produced at the same time. They should state if what is being seen is or is not representative of the actual game.

Heck, even sony got flak for the first kz2 vids but they came close with the finished product. I wouldnt be surprised if kinect can deliver on what it had been represented at first. The question is...when.

0mega45647d ago (Edited 5647d ago )

& can kinect not tell that your a dude?

did you guys she how sketchy the tracking was when they were doing fast moments

number475647d ago

GG delivered the game with the best console visuals known to man.

Microsoft shows off fake videos of kinect working, and tries to sell pre-orders based on the fake Jedi videos. Big Difference here isnt it?

It would be fine if MS could deliver on the promises of kinect.

GG showed off betas of Killzone2 showing it cleared the console visual bar

MS and Kinect?

Nope.

beardpapa5647d ago

I was actually wondering why this is titled a physics tech demo.

Lou-Cipher5647d ago (Edited 5647d ago )

What we were just shown by this Kinect tech demo was that Kinect does not track your body very well.

If Kinect does not track your body at all times with precision, it will only be able to make games that dont work 100% of the time.

That tech demo just proved that their is no game or quality developer that can save Kinect, It simply doesn't work. The technology is extremely flawed, and if it doesn't react to your body the way you want it to every single time, it just wont work in gaming.

Imagine playing Halo, and the trigger button only woks for you 50% of the time. Who would play Halo then?

Tech demos are the ultimate representation of what a product is capable of, and this Tech demo is just more proof on why Kinect is a piece of garbage tech should be abandoned faster than the Eye Toy.

Its true it is just a tech demo, but you don't see that number of glitches in the Move tech demo! Barely any tbh.

From what we have seen the games themselves glitch just as much as that, they do have couple months to iron stuff out though..

Army_of_Darkness5647d ago (Edited 5647d ago )

kinect never fails to "amuse" me... even with their tech demo with their glitched infested female avatars LOL!

Now Move tech demos on the otherhand... Very "impressive";)

@ bulletproofvess "did you guys she how sketchy the tracking was" when I read that line and noticed your spelling of "she" instead of "see", I LOL!!!

Bigpappy5647d ago (Edited 5647d ago )

Rare said the old avatar didn't work well when trying to to imitate human motions. But ofcourse you are wellcome to ignore my comment and go have some fun with this.

I expect to see some problems with Kiinect when it is released, but I don't believe this will be one of them.

If you want to know the truth, here is a link:

Lou-Cipher5647d ago (Edited 5647d ago )

The avatars are not the problem. Rare can change the avatars all they want, it's not going to fix Kinect's problems. Kinect does not work most of the time, that is a technology problem, not an unrealistic avatar problem.

Kinect cannot recognise the human body as well as Microsoft wants you to believe. The tech sucks, and their is nothing any game maker can do until Microsoft gets a camera that works 100% of the time.

Why are there people that still insist on making excuses for Kinect?

I'm just giving my opinion. From this video the hardware looks broken. It seriously needs more time for R&D. I see that xbox owners didn't like what I said.

Christopher5647d ago

The skeleton tracking got really bad when they started moving around more.

The depth detection works great, though!

outrageous5647d ago

Kinect is the most advanced peripheral ever made. Full body motion will be a genre unto itself. I just don't see how the Wii and the Wii HD rip off Sony move can compete with Kinect.

Leave it to M$ to innovate in ways the others can only dream about. Well played M$...Halo Reach, Fable 3 and Kinect will drive 360 sales through the roof this holiday.

Pillville5647d ago

You see, it used to be the xbox trolls could KIND OF get away with saying things like that, and some people might think "well, maybe he really does feel that way".

But really, the trolling now is in no way funny or aggravating. We can now see that you're just some turd at a keyboard, trying to think of stupid things to say to annoy the other fanboys.

You need to take trolling 101 and learn that you can't compliment and glorify a totally failed tech demo. Trolling 101 would teach you to stay away from these articles and wait for something that shows a slight glimmer of hope for Kinect THEN troll all you want.

Wow, I honestly thought all these kinks were worked out after the whole "BAM there it is" issue but... apparently not. O_O

Shadow Flare5647d ago

Wow. BAM, there it is, again! As if that's 1:1! If that avatar were a human, it would be a paralysed heap on the floor through breaking every bone in it's body. Loved the part where the avatar shoved it's own arm through it's body. This is a joke, I thought they would have fixed this by now? They've only had 2 years to do it. I don't think skittles is gonna be too happy when the avatar punches his heart out if his chest

Agent_Cody_Banks5647d ago

Looks like something from Tim and Eric. I'm pretty sure this tech was created by Cinco.

"Bethesda Pinball" for "Pinball FX" Review \\ paulsemel

A critical look at the "DOOM," "Skyrim," and "Fallout" tables in the new version of this virtual pinball game.

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound4d ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom23d ago (Edited 3d ago )

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7514d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm2314d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7214d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2314d ago (Edited 14d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12518d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia18d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake18d ago
