He (Richard Marks) did pioneer the EyeToy (by pioneer I mean conceived, created, tested, implemented) in 1999 up to its release in 2003, so it's not like Aaron Greenburg, Major Nelson, Jeff Rubenstein or John Koller talking shit. The guy's "been there, done that" and from the games shown thus far for Kinect, he appears to be pretty spot on.
Great write up. I've been teetering with the idea for some time, but having Netflix and DirecTV already keep stopping me. Reading your impressions makes me want to use my preview invite. All this damn technology...
No. True Blood is available on the PS Store and NetFlix (disc only).
Let's stay within the timeline:
360 Pro/Premium 20GB - $399
PS3 20GB - $499
At the time, $100 was the difference in price (still is actually) and for it, you got BluRay. And it worked. To pay $400 for a broken DVD player is again, imo, shameful and hilarious.
EDIT: No, you don't see. If you did, you would see there is nothing wrong with claiming 2005 360s were broken DVD players. They were and are. Unless of course, you were ...
20GB 360 was $399. That's shameful and hilarious imo.
The $300, 4GB Kinect bundle isn't geared towards Supreme Gamer, but the person who is interested in Kinect...and pretty much that's it. That's plenty of space for Kinect game add-ons and gamer profiles, Avatar items, etc. The $200 console itself is an entry, exactly like the Arcade before it. With less memory.
The 360 is limited to 2 USB flash drives simultaneously, so you're maxed at 32GB. So........If you want more space just throw in a 16gb usb. Or two.
Delete the Netflix cache off the PS3. It's under the video section of the XMB, under whatever the BD Live folder is.
The demo redeemed the awful first game in more than one way. I'm actually considering buying it.
Streams fine over my 5MB connection. Same for my 360, Roku and Wii.
"Mizuguchi obviously sees Kinect as the definitive version. I bet the same can't be said for K3, Socom, RE5 etc with Move."
LOL! Now that was funny. Bubbles!
Sike.
I disagree. The draw is obviously motion, but the arrogant "If it didn't have motion controls nobody would play it." attitude is what's wrong with "gamers". If Limbo was in color, nobody would play it. If Joe Danger had blood, nobody would play it. None of it has anything to do with the quality.
The 1st game was utter shit. Then, whence I awoke one blissful day, I turned on my PS3 to see the demo installed and ready for my enjoyment. And yes, the sequel (from the demo at least) looks not to be utter shit. Always fun to play the bad guy.
1. Child of Eden Kinect enabled was at E3 for a reason (hint: it looks to be an awesome multiplatform, 3rd party game). We weren't bombarded with "Child of Eden Kinect! Child of Eden Kinect!" during E3, so don't use its Kinect capabilities now, as some poor man's soapbox, to try and make up some dream realm where Mizuguchi doesn't want/already have Move and 3D support.
2. Using a standard controller will definitely be a different experience to using ...
Because I chose to say what I wanted to say, not what you wanted to hear.
Saying it will flop or wanting it to flop, doesn't mean it will. Granted, there really hasn't been a title to jump out at me like Sorcery or Socom 4 for Move, but that also doesn't mean there will never be games for it.
Sorcery looks like it could be great (and a blast to play). I'll probably re-play RE5 just to check out the Move controls too.
Well worth the price, fantastic game.
Same boat, different oar. Definitely going to buy 3 HD games with 3D and Move support for $40.
No bashing, just a tech speaking from his own experiences using similar technology and ideas. He doesn't bash anything, least of all MS or Kinect.
