LOL shopto.net have said all retailers have got low stock in UK so that's clearly not the case so quit with the crap Omega4. No doubt people have dropped there pre-orders for whatever reason OR GAME only took a few pre-orders at first until they found out there allocation and when they finally got there allocation added the extra stock to website.
Either way its EPIC FAIL. Imagine buying it and it didn't work correctly because of your skin tone. You couldn't return it as there is no return policy once open in the states. Luckily in the EU we have statutory rights which allow us 10 days to return even after we opened and used.
That's the main problem I wouldn't mind giving something a chance if it was £30 as If I didn't like it the trade in value means I wouldn't be losing much.
People shouldn't compare a launch product either to a product that's been on shelves for over a month that called being BIASED.
Eyetoy is a piece of crap?? How does this stuff get approved?? But the same reason eyetoy failed is why this will. There is no market for it.. It will sell well for a while or while MS throw millions at it soon as they stop so will the sales.
Eurogamer gave it a 2/10 right so it should be a 1/10 since its a 360 game as they always give an extra 1.. Ya know what I think we shall let this one slide lol.. Seems fighting games and motion controls = no especially on kinect. The boxing game on Kinect sports has got reviewers saying the same as this its terribly poor. Seems Kinect cannot do hardcore.. That's fine though MS don't really want it to this game was only released as they want to rival MOVE launch titles.
Engadget is best review I seen yet it's very honest and points out where it goes wrong and what it does really well rather than banging on about new tech etc.. A good read..
"You can't use Kinect to navigate the Xbox's main screen. Instead, Microsoft has created a special Kinect area with only a handful of applications and options. Many popular features or settings are unavailable. If you want to access the Xbox Live marketplace, watch a movie on Netflix or log into Facebook on the Xbox 360, you need to grab your controller."
For a console that prides itself on Live integration I am surprised MS didn't allow Kinect/Live too ...
How does Kinect supporting 2 players force you to buy another controller?? It doesn't.. stop trying to justify the price.. That terrible.. Also Kinect can't even do more than 2 players for the price I expected at least that.. You want 4 players?? That's 2 consoles, 2 subs to live and 2 Kinect thank you very much! I have 3 kids who I play games with so the fact is Kinect is no good for me as I cannot play with them as they hate waiting their turn. Plus my room is too small anyway. ...
Wow.. You said this on every review now.. You need to grow up.. Your comparing completely differnt titles.. plus so far most kinect reviews released aren't by valued reviewers like IGN, gamespot etc. Eurogamer, Kotaku and Destructiod are some of the worst biased websites on the web. Oh and try comparing Kinect launch title scores to Eye toy scores.. They pretty much match up..
Agreed like my earlier comment and stuff like this
"Outside of the game, menu navigation via Kinect can become a right pain. Rare's solution is, unsurprisingly, the same as Microsoft's for the dashboard: guiding a hand icon to the relevant part of the screen and holding it for a set period to confirm selection. "
they constantly complain half the games don't work proper and yet give it a half decent score?? WTF?? But then again MS have ...
"Boxing is the game's weakest event by a knockout. It's a terribly messy affair that lacks any sense of making a connection with blows, the result being you might as well just be standing a room flapping your arms around. "
What is to blame for this?? Bad developing?? Or the camera.. See most devs say no lag and then blame the games for being unresponsive.. I am not saying there is lag here but come on this is just proof Kinect can't do everything even w...
Wii Fit will NEVER be knocked off the top on any system in this genre as it was the first major game to do this but I need something new as it's getting tedious now. The only reason I would have ever got a Kinect was for fat burning but so far looking at reviews and what they say it's looking disappointing.
These are PS2 remakes they talking about so I doubt you will see PS1 remakes in HD unless it's a bonus item.. Besides FFVII works on every PS3 out there right now.
Ah blitzball in HD would rock I loved that mini game my fave after Triple Triad.
You are missing the fact that you clearly hate PS3. I mean what is there to lose from HD graphics, trophy support and extra features. All for the same price as the ps2 games go for second hand nowadays anyways.
More excited about FF than anything probably gonna put FFX and FFX-2 on 1 Blu-Ray that's my guess the FFX collection.
The point of the article is simple Kinect was supposed to get casual gamers who hardly play games to play them however gamers with 360s already and hardcore gamers will be picking them up = epic fail.
Oh Dear...
As for release date you gotta remember Sony are expecting the game to sell through the roof so are gonna need to make millions of copys they cannot do that in a couple of days then ship it to stores. These things take time they want this out before christmas as it will sell more obviously and boost PS3 sales to boot. No doubt they will be calling in favours to get this on shelves ASAP but the things so damn tight they won't have a release date until probably 1 or 2 week before the actual ...
I think it's gonna sell bucketloads in the US this christmas holidays thanks to that 1/2 a billion as most of that will go on the US. It seems the UK however like the rest of the world are not really interested unlike the US. Partly down to MS not dominating here as much plus less money spent on ads.
