I'm sure they got something special for us... gamers.

master_of_ownage5706d ago

I hate how so many people comment on the articles about kinect and just bash it, You dont see us bashing Playstation Move because its really just wii v.2, at least microsoft is doing something revelutionary and completely different then sony and nintendo instead of constantily coping each other 

Shadow Flare5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

*COUGH* eyetoy v.2 *COUGH*

Pennywise5706d ago

You dont see me doing it. Watch me do it.

You are the master of ownage. You just owned yourself.

D4RkNIKON5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

I hate how many people comment on how Kinect is different, and revolutionary.. Why is it that the games for Kinect are nothing new then? Show me a game and I will show you how it's been done before.

sinclaircrown5706d ago

Kinect sucks - No, Move sucks more!
Move is just Wii v.2 - No, Kinect is eyetoy v.2
You're just a fanboy - no, you're a fanboy
MS sucks! - No, Sony sucks!

Same stuff. Every day.

master_of_ownage5706d ago

yes all fanboys are like fucking brick walls. and lastly you just proved you are a fanboy, going on videos of the xbox and seeing people talk trash about their opinion over move vs kinect, then getting mad over it. typical fanboy.

bustamove5706d ago

And you are no better than the people you call out.

sinclaircrown5706d ago

hehehe master. I yawned. You got mad.

=)

You're cute.

beardpapa5706d ago

you forget when the move was announced, the whole world was calling it a dildo.

Raikiri5706d ago

Kinect is an eyetoy V2 but that doesn't mean its a bad thing as long as its better, same goes for move

Crazy ideas from Rare that = crap then yes.

Rare is so overrated and they just purely suck so why is Microsoft still trying to get them to make awesome games?

BrianC62345706d ago

What's with Rare lately? All I see now is Rare says this. Rare says that. Who cares what they think. They haven't had a good game since leaving Nintendo.

yet neutral gamers who have played it have a different view?

when a companies employees have to continually hype a product which has shown nothing but lag and on rails games it makes you wonder ....'who are they trying to kid?'

personally i think kinect has been downgraded soo much its not going to survive the hype,and ive seen nothing in software to change my mind,stop talking rare and show us

EasilyTheBest5706d ago

But I have played it... Four different games in fact and theres NO lag thats sorted and the games like Kinect Adventures have a lot more to them than we have been shown.
I played it after hours in a gamestation store over two hours aswell...
It made my mind up to buy one...

Just reading your over abundance of kinect comments, it leads me to believe you are a played employee, employed to give comments about kinect.

Sorry... I don't believe you.

Omega45706d ago

Im with EasilyTheBest I played it too and didn't notice any lag, and all the games i got to play were great fun. In fact it seems the only people who are saying its rubbish are the PS3 fanboys and people who haven't actually tried it. So in other words the jealous ones.

asyouburn5706d ago

and my opinion is that it is, in fact, rubbish. and it has nothing to do with ps3 vs. 360, if kinect was a playstation product or nintendo product, i would still think its crap

cliffbo5706d ago

Omega4, i don't know whether to admire your tenacity or feel sorry for your naivety

niceguywii605706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

Well you're a known stealthy PS3 fanboy, known to get desperate with reaching hateful opinions trying come off across as a mutual open minded gamer with no agenda. Kinect launches next month and you're coming off as saying MSFT is hyping their product due a lack of faith and Sony did not mention anything about Move before launch? RLMAO

Sony was hyping the sh*t out of MOVE months before its launch even attacking and bashing the competition at the same time. *Move does this! Move does that! Kinect will die this! Kinect won't work that! every day from Sony for months lol.

What you're really saying is I you wish MSFT would stop with the awareness campaign because Kinect is going to do enough damage to Sony's market share as it is.

Dam thing coming out next month and happens to be the most exciting thing in game since the launch of Wii not to mention the most advanced tech in gaming.
Kinect has developers excited and the masses and PS3 fanboys wonder why MSFT is excited about it? Amazing... Talking about it a little over 30 days before its launch some how ignoring other companies basically doing the same thing although on a smaller scale is the greatest desperate contradiction in the history of gaming

bustamove5706d ago

You claim Sony bashed this and Sony bashed that about the Move and yet you provide NO LINKS WHATSOEVER. When Sony talked about Move, they had the technology to back up their claims.

I don't know if you get paid to say these things but seriously, your comments are laughable right now.

‘Thanks to everyone who played’: Banjo-Kazooie director confirms Rare exit after 36 years

Gregg Mayles writes: "Today was my last day at Rare Ltd. Thanks to everyone who played and enjoyed any of the games I helped create while I was there. Also thanks to all the people that worked on the games alongside me. It seemed fitting that I should say farewell with one final rhyme!"

QueenOfFrowns212d ago

These sorts of goodbyes are always the most heart-wrenching.

rlow1211d ago

lol, read his poem and it’s epic. Congrats and gods speed to you sir.

Reaper22_211d ago

Godspeed for the rest of your journey, sir. Loved BK. I think I'll play it this weekend to show my appreciation for this classic.

Ristul211d ago

Wow, thats a long run on the same company, good luck to you sir!

Rare veteran lands new role at Xbox Game Studios after Everwild cancellation

Not to offend anyone. But what was Rare doing with Everwild for so many years? Development began in 2014, with a reveal in 2019. From 2019 onwards nothing was about the game.

Notellin254d ago

"Notably, O’Connor’s boss of 13 years, former Rare studio head Craig Duncan, was appointed head of Xbox Game Studios last year."

Hiring internal talent from Rare worked out so well last time.

Cronyism at its finest. #failup

It's a shame it seems pretty Sea of Thieves centric

I was hoping for some cool Banjo / Conker merch or maybe a re-release of Rare Relay with some added games, possibly work something out with Nintendo so they can add Goldeneye to it with online support.
