This is What You Could Look Like Playing Kinect

We're all aware of how silly one looks when playing motion-controlled gaming. The Wii has shown how spastic people can get with playing something like Wii Sports Boxing, and now the Xbox 360 Kinect could take that insane physical thrashing to a whole new level.

And motion gaming we all look cool

darthv725695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

apparently not on this site. You can't have fun and look goofy doing it.

I would disagree. looking goofy playing these games is half the fun. Especially if you are having a party and everyone is getting a chance to play. We all razz each other in how we execute the moves.

Wii party and wii play are hits when it comes to family/party fun. Mario galaxy, halo and kz2 are fine for ME time.

fun "SHOULD" be what matters. Unfortunately...there are those that disagree.

Doesn't look any sillier than the wii or move sports titles. I dont think "looking silly" is a deterent for those who want to play motion control games, if so the wii wouldn't be the best selling console so far this gen.

Well said. I just don't care what I look like when I'm having fun.

I look like a fool when I'm riding on an extreme roller coaster but that doesn't stop me(or millions of others) from going back and riding it again and that is in public.

Hey did you guys see the last ad, where the young guy is sitting on the couch, with his family and controlling the dash with hand swipes?

That was definitely cool.

What's more, anti Kinect rhetoric on this site had me convinced this wasn't possible! - Guess it was all FUD?

FanboyPunisher5695d ago

This isnt news, this is childish.

N4G is going to shit, wtf are you mods doing?!
Seriously, clean the news up.

thrust5695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

at the end of the day who cares what you look like in your own house :/

lol what can you disagree on with that?

sack_boi5695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

I'm getting the X360+Kinect bundle as well (at launch or in December). Mostly for Kinect sports and it's multimedia capabilities.

This video made me pre-order http://www.youtube.com/watc...
These are just 1st gen softwares, I'm sure Kinect and it's softwares in general will improve in time.

SmokexFFx5695d ago

Do people really care what they will look like in front of thier family? If anything it will add to the family fun.

SKUD5695d ago

Exactly, they already bought a wii 2 years ago though.

SmokexFFx5695d ago

Except this article is about how you look while playing Kinect, and not about how casual gamers won't get Kinect because they bought a Wii 2 years ago.

Wikkid6665695d ago

No... but you can share the entire experience with the world! Hmmm... let's see the Wii do that. Pics and videos are taken while you are playing games. Be careful of the share button especially if you aren't wearing too much.

AKissFromDaddy5695d ago

These commercials display pretty Huge spaces between the Kinect and the player, I want living space that big :-)

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde37d 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.

Soy37d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12537d ago (Edited 37d 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.
