"Earlier today, we learned that a hacked Kinect can play Super Mario Bros. That's cool and all, but can it play indie sandbox game Minecraft? Yes. Yes it can."
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.

All these hacks do is just illustrate further how inaccurate Kinect is and how at least with games that exist so far, it is not a decent controller.
It begins lol.
only one problem.
i'd still rather use a mouse and keyboard/controller.
motion can suck my nuts, im a gamer which means im lazy, which means this stuff is cool at first, but after an hour of playing, i want to sit back and rest.
Can't we just get a "kinect hacked to be used as a keyboard input" article and let it be. Isn't this almost like using motionjoy and xpadder, and saying you hacked each individual game to use a ps3 controller. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, make it work with super punchout or dolphin already. Dumbest hackers evar!!!
The best thing about these hacks is what sort of ides it could give developers.
I'm not keen on Kinect in the least, but some of it's implications by do-it-yourself homebrew guys have been pretty cool.
