KINECT: THE DAWN OF THE NEW AGE OF GAMING

[Crushed]

new thread for NEW GEN GAMING

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2010-06-14-vidgame14_ST_N.htm

Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

•Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

the next gen of gaming is starting

Kinect the Dots, a drawing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary pencil — pull your hands toward the dots and push away to draw a line — and use their bodies to hop around like a spaz for no in game reason.

[iconoclast]

Worst E3 ever

[Sho Nuff]

THIS IS HOW THE END BEGINS

I want a pricepoint to confirm this signals a very bad year for the industry

[Eel O'Brian]

come back to the pc, devs, where they'll steal your games but not your dignity

[Tucah]

I, for one, am disappointed Kinectimals only has cats. What about all the other animals? I don't want to wait for Kinectimals 2.

[brob]

As long as we can keep russian pc developers from finding out about this, just like we did the consoles!

[TripleA]

Rumor is it will retail for $189.99.

If true, then Natal Wave Kinect is the next 32X.

[Eel O'Brian]

OH GOD WHAT WONT MINCROSOFT STEAL NEXT? 

i doubt they steal the waggle wand concept

also is mincrosoft  the chinese knockoff version of microsoft

[Eel O'Brian]

Rumor is it will retail for $189.99.

If true, then Natal Wave Kinect is the next 32X.

i think there's like a mouse race going on between ms and sony for that title

probably $50-$60 for a move wand + sonychuk, $40 for the required PSeye - you're probably looking at $150 to get started there if you want more than one person to play

[Eel O'Brian]

nintendo could just destroy both of these out of the gate by announcing that Wii HiFi (ugh) for $250, compatibility with existing wii controllers, and some sort of bullshit HD minigames pack in

[cool breeze]

I will play Table Tennis on my Wii, 360, and PS3 at the same time I'll even dust off my old Kmart plug and play motion tennis game.  CAN NOT WAIT.

Sony already stated that the Move bundle would be less than or equal to $100.

Now if Move ends up being >$100, then it's dead on arrival as well 

[iconoclast]

Microcats

Nintendogs

I fully expect Nintendo to destroy both of these out of the gate.

Microsofts voice stuff will impress, but after the Xbox slim and Kinect, I don't think they will impress people enough to "win" E3.

[Eel O'Brian]

^ I just don't see a bundle with the eye, wand, and nunchuk coming in for less than $100

i predict there will be absolutely no games shown which use the 360 controller in conjunction with the natalwavekinect

[Jansen]

i think gaming has a few years left before all this crap becomes standard. which is fine with me since my current backlog will take me 3-4 years to work through.

[cool breeze]

You should also buy a Vii to make your distinguished mentally-challenged Room of Motion™ complete.

I think my Kmart table tennis game covers the broke ass china device.  I got it in like 2003 or 2004.

Waggle Warehouse

[Eel O'Brian]

they are never going to give me what i want out of this motion control horseshit, therefore i am completely washing my hands of it

[Great Rumbler]

What scares me about Methodis' post is that I assumed you'd edited it to make fun of him through mocking bombast, spelling, over-use of emoticons...

...and then I checked the original post. :methodiscry :publiceducationsystemcry :allcapscry :lolcry

[Van Cruncheon]

"Hardcore" gaming is fine. Always will be. Doom and Gloomers are lol.

[Eel O'Brian]

or we could just be trolling for the guffaws

[Stoney Mason]

Point Taken. Although 5 years of Wii jokes has pretty much beaten a dead horse dry on the subject imo.

[Sho Nuff]

$189=Thermonuclear failure.

[TakingBackSunday]

ban methodis

[Eel O'Brian]

the move will get a pass because of that, but the sheer amount of dancing epileptic kinect videos will provide a fresh new avenue for motion control pisstaking

[ferrarimanf355]

Microsoft isn't THAT butt-fuck distinguished mentally-challenged, are they?

[Bebpo]

"Hardcore" gaming is fine. Always will be. Doom and Gloomers are lol.

Yeah.  The Wii is the best example of this.  The Wii is dragged down by more casual bullshit than any system ever, yet it still has a good library of hardcore games.  More than any multiplatform owner can be caught up on.

[Eel O'Brian]

i believe the $150 price that was floating around

[MCD]

good thing i quit gaming.

[The Fake Shemp]

I believe the $150 price as well, because Microsoft doesn't really care if we buy it or not, they're going to try and push the bundles to new consumers. And the bundle is adequately priced.

Also, "winning E3" is like winning the Special Olympics - it never really matters. I remember when the GameCube "won" E3 and the Xbox was an abysmal failure, and we all know how that turned out.

[Eel O'Brian]

what's up with the dude in orange, he looks like a leather bar clown

[Mr. Gundam]

Cirque de Soleil performance to unveil Kinect.

[MCD]

ms hajj.

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, but what the fuck is with these vests? Is it part of the show?

Is it something to block a Kinect unit from picking up on the people in the crowd?

Maybe it will allow the crowd to interact somehow?

[Eel O'Brian]

those are for the special guest appearance by gallagher

[cool breeze]

yeah, looking at the pictures being posted on gaf, I'm guessing it is so the camera don't pick up the audience.  people think that natal will be capturing and recreating the performance using avatars.

[Mr. Gundam]

I think they're getting ready to drink some Kool Aid...

[Ninja]

Yup, Natal is precisely as shit as I expected it to be.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I can't have a cat in my apartment.  Microsoft knows what I need!

[ferrarimanf355]

GAF melting down, as usual.

[ferrarimanf355]

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME!

[TripleA]

This is marvelous  

[ferrarimanf355]

I so wish I was there.

[ferrarimanf355]

GAF BROUGHT OUT RAPTOR JESUS

LEGENDARY THREAD CONFIRMED

[TripleA]

Apparently they're holding hands now 

Everyone is kinected

[ferrarimanf355]

Real talk, I think Microsoft is doing something real interesting. It's unconventional and is something that sticks with a person for a long time (especially if you're there). I think they're a lot smarter than people like to think.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME!

I agree with you but it's also incredibly sad.

The early games look to be Wii rip-offs, but the potential is there. Here's hoping that the rumored Q Entertainment title is that Kinect-enabled spiritual sequel to Rez I heard it was, that would be nice.

(Q Entertainment just tweeted that they will have a reveal at the Ubisoft press conference tomorrow, btw)

[maxy]

Good name and like all videogame names it will be accepted in few days and then it will be normal.

That show looks really spectacular

[ferrarimanf355]

I just hope JoyRide works well enough with the camera, or that it has traditional controls. I'm always down for some kart racing action.

I'm suprised GAF hasn't 500'd yet.

[maxy]

Mainstream media will be all over this...sfags will melt like ice in Sahara

[ferrarimanf355]

Regarding the new Xbox 360 design- I need to see it in person. The leaked images look kinda fugly, but it has built-in wi-fi, and if it has the power brick in the console and hard disks that can be swapped with bigger off-the-shelf computer HDD's like the PS3, I'll trade in my current X360 for one.

[ferrarimanf355]

... and GAF 500'd on me. 

[Cormacaroni]

Itagaki at a Klan rally? WTF am I looking at

[cool breeze]

people saying it's $120

and Kameo 2
