It's all in the execution.
The Dead Island trailer is moving(as a parent)and shows all the visceral stuff in glorious slow mo.It's very well directed.
Great trailer,original or not.
Coldplay on the other hand are incredibly dull.
I totally agree about Kinect although I'm personally not fussed with 3D.I've played KZ3 and Gt5 with it and I''m not bothered.
Quite simple really.MS want to use it to boost up 360.
It's no good to the games division if it sells on PC lots and all the cool stuff happens there.
On 360,I still think it's a square peg in a round hole.
Kinect is seriously limited for games.
MS agreed to "invest"billions with Nokia.That is why they chose them over Android.Look it up on tech sites and you'll find the Nokia quote.
The 2 companies have joined forces,like MS with Yahoo,because they are both struggling companies in this market.
Nokia market share is well done from where it once was and MS are facing hugely successful Apple and market leader Android both experiencing large growth.
I've only recently got a smart phone.It's on Android and is a Legend.
It's not powerful enough to run games that well but I hate spending too much on a phone.
I've played with iPhone,iPad and iPod Touch as well.
I'm utterly sick of so called gaming fans and games journalists saying they'd choose iPhone.
These devices are not good enough for games,it's a sad fashion statement,not an analysis of gaming ability.
Another great measurement of quality.It works,by which you mean it just about does the minimum needed to sort of control something.
Joyride had so much auto help in it,you don't need to take part.
Dance Central shadow tracks and could work on any webcam.
Kinect plays like Eyetoy.You can talk about it being better but gameplay is Eyetoy.
Move works as advertised and is a better version of Wii.Kinect is less than both.
When you say i...
I love the popular wisdom argument as a measure of quality.
I hope you love watching Titanic and listening to Celine Dion.
Kinect is poor for games if you care about control.
I've heard enough gamers say 360 pad is a reason to own a 360 over PS3,yet they then say Kinect control is good enough and over look it's myriad flaws.
They had me at Hello.
If they get software support,it will do well.
I've got a feeling it may be cheaper than expected.
Unfortunately,it's still getting the Sony media negativity while the 3DS gets it's free ride.
The next thing will be that Ninty invented AR cards and the PSP/PS3 have not done it 1st.
It has the POTENTIAL to be the best handheld gaming device ever made and by a margin.
PSP was a let down though,so we'll see.
Really?You want an over rated beat em up with poor controls,in an era where beat em ups(bar SF)are old hat and not big sellers.
Good idea.That's perfect Kinect style thinking.What next?A swimming game.......oh wait.
As long as you are not bothered by response and accuracy and want a casual gaming experience.
The problem that all hardware manufacturers are encountering is why? and how?
They can go to next gen but how do they make it desirable,and not just to the hardcore?
Each new round of consoles need to be a lot more powerful than the last and as the PS3 showed,super high pricing is not viable.
This is not really possible due to component cost and a recession.
The other major issue is game development cost.
We are probably already approa...
They do this to every dev.It all sounds rosy when MS are handing out chunks of cash and telling devs what they want to hear.Then things don't go so well and MS just stop support and take away creative freedom.That is the MS dev story of this gen.
And the delusion and lack of basic maths skills continues.Go read some sales figures.Try the official ones,not some media opinion.
What about Huxley??This MS save stuff to the last minute is another sad myth.They may have a surprise this year but I'll bet it's a multi plat they've snaked at the last minute with vast sums of cash.
It will probably end up being a timed exclusive or some timed DLC.
MS fanboys are the saddest in existence.
They will lap it up like the good little doggies they are.
He doesn't just work for Lionhead(owned by MS).I'm not sure of his exact title but it basically means he MS head of EU game development.I don't think he'll be leaving a job like that,MS pay well and are supposed to be very good to work for.
No,it does not.The Lens of Truth article just proves that technically R2 is ahead of reach in some areas and that it runs better.
Art design plays such a big part in how "good" a game looks and most people can't be bothered to think about the things a game does tech wise.
R1 did many things better than Gears1 but the streaming textures meant most people thought Gears was better tech throughout.It was inferior in many ways.
The thing is,this may be proof of concept but that does not mean it's good to play,fun or even worthwhile.
I find it so funny that these vids with fans saying"look it works"ignores the "is it any good?" or "does it offer any advantage over controller?".
Look at it again.It's slow and has very little combat and from watching you can't tell how it feels(no feedback.I thought that was essential to 360 owners?).
With other solution...
Just,with less than half the games.
Do you see?
Difficult for some people to understand things.
Yeah,it's terrible.The 3rd fastest selling and most powerful console63 million plus) and the most accurate motion controller made yet.
Awful.
This in a year with 46 titles vs 39(Ninty) and 21(MS).
2011 looks even worse with Lbp 2 already finished(story),I'm playing the best 360 "exclusive" of last year,playing Stacked with no extra cost over my £39.99 15 month sub and waiting for my KZ3 perorder.
My Wii is gathering dust...
As a parent I found it heartbreaking and moving but I loved it.
A videogame trailer causing a large emotional repsonse is not common,beyond thinking a game looks cool.
