3 problems with that forza kinect video

1) they were not controlling the acceleration and breaking
2) there was a lot of lag between him steering and the game reaciting to it
3) not everyone has enuf room to walk around a car like he did and more importantly, it is done far easier with a control pad with less hassle. i dont need an immersive walking around experience, i need an immersive racing experience. for that i need a proper steering wheel and pedals.

In Forza would be good for tracking your head as you drive with a wheel, but that's about it. Keep Kinect separate as you have done so far and leave the core games alone. All this talk of Kinect being used in so called hardcore games in my opinion is mad. Off topic anyone who's got both consoles and have played Heavy Rain, that type of game could be done on Kinect a detective type of game.

Kinect could be great for power consumption, create a racing wheel with gear stick, patch Kinect to see you sitting down for the footpedals etc, as long as you can use it siting down the devs will be able to program the rest, totally wireless, no need for recharging, ok so this means using a peripheral but Kinect still does all the work, the peripheral is just another object that Kinect can recognise and use in game. Peripherals will be required at some point but this is not a bad thing, besides having seen Move and KZ3 with the gun peripheral all that does is use the Move buttons and navigation anyway, the gun is just there for show, it does not move with body motion at all other than up and down I think.

Kinect is not sensitive enough from my experience using it to make it useful as a driving game controller. Joyride is ok but it shows that Kinect just won't be fast of precise enough for a more serious racing game like Forza. I think it would be that bad that I really think trying to shoehorn Kinect functionality into a game like Forza would hurt the image of Kinect and Forza. The most I think it would be good for is tracking head movement so you could look left and right but thats as far as it goes for me.

I would use Kinect with Forza 4 if I could add my Playseats racing chair w/ Buttkicker and MS Wheel,where the Kinect is used for a walk around and or looking left and right headtracking etc..but not for holding my hands in the air in a 2 and 10 config.of course there maybe even more usage in the game for Kinect that most people have not thought about, we will have to wait and see.As for adding Kinect to Forza 3 I say no leave it alone.

I have a kinect and enjoy it but fail to see why they would want to make a racing game use it. Racing involves a steering wheel and gear shifter, not your entire body. So it seems like a mismatch to me too.

Games they should be concentrating on are sports, that mech game, star wars (with saber and force powers), and dancing I suppose (not for me), and thinking of some innovative social networking in v.r.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

Helix will be expensive but it's still a day one for me.

Oh, my days...
So Nadella meets with the US president multiple times to ensure AI regulations are minimal if any at all, donates to the inauguration and ballroom, and his boy not only won't regulate AI as farmers lose land and billionaires/corporations buy up farmland to build data centers...but because he's insane and compromised, he starts a war on behalf of a rogue colonial zionist state and [further] destabilizes the Middle East, restricting component access and helium supply.

Now the head of Xbox is saying the hardware pricing "could impact" next generation hardware pricing? Asha,...your boss at a minimum played a direct role in this. What are we even talking about?

Yea because a $3 trillion company can’t absorb the majority of the cost to keep the product lower for consumers.

Expensive… oh no, here comes another flop.

Could? Strange how prices rise for virtually everything we buy, yet when things settle down, prices don't come down. This has been happening in the UK probably before I was born. With that, how much is a next gen console going to cost? Look at the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro, which has been a flop for Sony. On that note, we don't need the next consoles for another 5 years.

I guarantee if people just stopped buying this kinda stuff all together. This would all be sorted within 2 weeks and everything would be back to normal.

We seen the exact same thing through the COVID period. Companies just jumped on the bandwagon realising that they can get away with charging far more under false pretences and fear mongering.

Consumers now have this fear of "you know what, I only live once. I'm going to spend all this money I earned through my hard work" Or "I only live once I'm going to take a loan out and enjoy my time here".

Silicone Valley spends literally billions of dollars researching how much they can push society to the limits to increase spending. You can research it yourself. There's published written documentation about it. Have a look for yourself into their group research into subscription programs to see how evil they are and why it's such a giant focus of current civilization. Its the very essence of corporate capitalism.

Just delay all new consoles. I could easily go another 5 years with my base PS5.

could? it's already affecting current gen pricing.

It is greed. Apple are selling at the same price, while Microsoft Surface increases 500$ per unit. Karma will tell.
