They did it wrong. They did alot of things wrong. They probably should have waited until next E3 to work out the kinks instead of concentrating on beating Sony to the punch. Now not only is the tide turning on them, now Sony's Move is coming out a whole month and some before them giving them a perfect chance to one up them and steal away potential customers.So the Kinect hasn't failed yet but seems to be on a downward spiral.
Do you see that? Actual smiles, actual opinions, actual gaming. Not rehearsed, not from celebs, not from people bribed with PS3s,not from a Sony site or a Sony video. The casuals have spoken. The Move is awesome and isn't going away anytime soon. Nintendo you should strengthen your defenses and offenses cause Sony is coming for you and Microsoft you should start digging a hole and buying a coffin for the Kinect.
I have to admit it's getting hard too tell the differnce between the real thing and the game. I'm not kidding or exaggerating. I sometimes see a trailer and it looks like a real race is going on.
Kinect will be long dead before that if you keep going in the direction you are headed.
DAMAGE CONTROL!!!!!! Quick bring me the box of excuses. Peter, you and our other tools go out there a say things that make no sense and exaggerate a lot.You over there give out more free Xboxs. You over there fire up the smoke and mirrors machine and talk about Milo but don't show any proof. Everyone else deny everything unless it's positive. Come on people move it.
Isn't the Kinect creepy enough talking to it, jumping around like a mental patent and using invisible objects without adding speaking to a soulless,monotone,creepy child?
Wait I thought it was a PS3 game as well. If so does it really matter?
Not to bad for me. Alfeady have the eye, just need the wand and sub controller
That's good to hear. For a second I was sure Microsoft was trying to commit financial suicide. They already have a lot of damage control as it is. For instance the fact that the Move has feedback rumble and Kinect has no feedback at all. What's the point of motion control emersion into a game if you have nothing signifying that your punches, hits or strikes are connecting? Hmmmm......
Okay First, I have asked nicely to stop the sex toy jokes. Next person that makes one,I send my trained assassins to hunt you down. Secondly, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I didn't know that. Do you know what this means? Feedback! This means that while the Kinect people are pretending to swing a lightsaber, we can actually feel the sabers clash as we fight. We will feel a gun recoil, a mallet strike,a punch connect. Wow. The Kinect really does suck.
Three months from now.' The light on Microsoft's new slim is is now purple,PLOD'. Microsoft responds 'We didn't know that would happen'. Dont panic. Only 40% have done it. We can fix it. Just mail them to us'. 360 owners then say 'thank you Microsoft. We love you' End skit. LOL.
Seriously? Standing up to play all games, jumping around like a rabid ape, talking and shouting at my Kinect,pretending to have objects in my hand, driving with invisible steering wheels. Microsoft will have commited to an asylum before I'm done. Sorry. Maybe you guys are ahead of your time like Dreamcast was but we all saw what happened to it.
Microsoft, if you wanted to bury the Kinect so quickly there was no need to try so hard. I am sure we all would have been happy to lend you some shovels, find a nice land fill and buy a nice pine box for it.
It's amazing how the slightest thing could tip the scales in you favour. Everyone thought Sony was going to pull out the same games they showed before and then they pulled Sorcery out of their hat so to speak. I think that it cast a real spell over the audience.
Why do these people just keep repeating what everyone else says. Is it a popularity contest? If I don't say that Nintendo won I'm deemed a loser or something? Why did Nintendo win? Because they showed a whole lot of bright colours? Because they finally brought out a Kid Icarus game that Nintendo fans have been begging them to make for years? Beause they made more games with the exact same characters and storyline like they do every year? Because they made another type of DS so soon af...
I don't think they will ruin gaming. In fact if they succeed, it could enhance our gaming experiences. If they fail there are plenty of non Kinect and Move games coming out. The only people who should be worried about ruin is Nintendo who could lose a big chunk of the casual market to the other motion devices and Microsoft who is putting way too much faith and effort into the success of the Kinect
Well I am sure Sony will give you a kit if you ask nicely
It is amazing how the Move went from Dildo Wii clone to 'Wow that really works well, I would buy that' in people's eyes. Even the media seems to have embraced the Move and turned on the Kinect. I think Microsoft, unlike Sony and Nintendo, is very good at convicing you to buy shooters and sports but very bad at convicing you to buy casual games e.g. Banjo Kazooie NB, Blue Dragon, Blinx etc.
Well one thing is for sure, Nintendo's little 'more of the same conference' has definately proven that they are out of ideas. They came out with the Wii-mote so long ago and still haven't proven that it's better then a controller. Just like the stylist on the DS.
I wish people would stop using the word casual as if it means stupid. Just because Microsoft claims to appeal to the casual gamer doesn't mean they will jump at any garbage Microsoft pumps out . I am sure they have their standards and limits to what they play or don't play. I think that is one of Microsoft's main problem they forgot to add any real substance to their games. For example I can see a young boy or girl waving the Move around pretending it's a magic wand, a sword ...
