If it has 1:1 tracking I believe it can reach a new level of immersion, otherwise it will never really feel like I'm effecting the game with my movements.
Let's be honest, what doesn't it suck to suck at?
I'd like to see Dance Dance Revolution get a Kinect revival.
"I’m thinking I like the idea of having a live account more than I’d actually like having one."
Isn't this always the way though? Most of the time the anticipation of getting something new is half the fun.
Edit: By the way, I'd reccomend getting a Live account if you want. If you are frightened away by the jerks, then the jerks win.
CNN, games reporting is not your speciality, you shouldn't claim that terms like videogame are outdated when if anything your grasp of what games are is likely to be far more outdated.
I don't think arcade games were ever really anything like Kinect. In fact, I don't think anything was.
It was a joke. Y'now, because it's a motion controller that you can only control with your body?
I don't know, but Kinect'll cost you an arm and a leg- twice!
I disagree with your second point, there are still people who play the original game and switching off the servers would be a slap in the face to those who are still enjoying it , it would lower the number of interested participants, not increase them.
I hope some of the puzzles involve traveling back and forth through time.
Well I don't go around telling people they are dumb for being casual gamers, but I always help me friends with their purchasing decisions. Heck, more than one person I have discouraged from buying some truly dire games by getting them to rent em' first.
Why? Greed. How? By withholding multiplayer until we pay up. This is highway robbery, and if it happens I will refuse to play any Call of Duty games that use it.
I remember there was a controller mod that let you fire consistently faster with a pistol than most people could with their hands alone at the press of a button, we are talking machine gun fast here. Actually, it's probably the reason some FPS make it so there's a brief pause between each shot.
Jim Sterling, and why he needs to get laid- now that's an article I think really needs writing.
Because that would be a dick move. Casual gamers are hopefully above that bullshit.
The problem will be what happens when you strike up a conversation and he suddenly doesn't understand what you said. He will either ask you to repeat it or say nothing, making him look either like he wants you to speak up or isn't paying attention to what you just said.
"You ****ing suck you guys, I swear to God, why are the other team always the ones who aren't being gay?"
Something to that extent I hear in about one in five matches.
Rage before beauty.
Star. Ocean. 4.
'Kay?
If it could mirror my movements that would be great, but at the least it should be able to tell what I'm doing and give me a vague approximation. I remember playing golf on Wii Sports and having the Mii move the club backwards as I moved it forwards, I hated that.
