Kinda sucks we have to deal with this "better with Kinect BS".

They should just name like "Supports Kinect" and not that sh**!

Serious its getting frustrasting!

Mass Effect 3, Ghost Recon , Forza MotorSport 4, RySe, Halo 4 all will have this BS... Serious Microsoft wtf.

Lylat_645444d ago

Atleast they aren't Kinect only games.

mrv3215444d ago

Thank god for that. Heck, I'm sure if they where they'd suck.

Mass Effect 2 voice control WILL get annoying
Ghost Recon Kinect control didn't work
Forza kinect was so basic

"Mass Effect 2 voice control WILL get annoying"

Confirmed earlier, controller or Kinect...apparently from a german site or something...Kinda defeats the purpose of kinect

He said that MS are looking to have Kinect + controller BUT the Xbox website lists Ryse as a Kinect exclusive.

Uncharted3Goty5444d ago

how would it work with Kinect ?

zinkabass5444d ago

How would any core game, with any kind of precise input complexity work with Kinect?

HappyGaming5444d ago

It would work much better with Move+ Navigation controller combo...

Burning_Finger5444d ago (Edited 5444d ago )

bu...bu..bu..but Kinect is awesome. "Jump In" because "You Are The Controller" - Microsoft.

apparrently people dont notice sarcasm

Obviously the people who pushed Kinect on this have never played Minecraft and actually mined. I can't imagine doing the actions for mining the way I do. Imagine digging down for Diamonds (which are the lowest areas) and having to manually dig each block. It's just stupid. I could see the fighting parts and even some of the wandering around. But the mining would be brutal and get old within a few minutes.

That said, if it's a good version, I might get this now that I don't need Kinect. A mouse and keyboard probably still is the more accurate way of doing things (mouse is so fast), but hopefully this will be a good port and they keep updating the way the PC version is constantly updated.

Thats the problem with Xbox Live, just the way Valve have the same problem with Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead on Xbox live. You will not be getting the same number of updates as the PC version and when you do, YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR IT. Lol they chose the wrong platform.

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

CrimsonWing6953d ago

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.
