KINECT: THE DAWN OF THE NEW AGE OF GAMING

[Philip Cardgage]

Speaking of Fable III, does anyone care about Fable III?

[TripleA]

Since it's coming to PC, definitely.

[Philip Cardgage]

Fable III and Killzone 3 were probably the most boring games shown there.

[TripleA]

True.

Hopefully this time, he'll actually deliver a competent gameplay experience.

Accurate.

Right now, Kinect only works when you stand. This includes menu navigation. All the cool options to grab a slider and advance through frames of a movie you are watching only work when you are on your feet. Kinect, we've been told, has problems handling your skeletal frame while sitting. The voice commands still work, but every game we've seen and even simple menu navigation have to be done with you out of your seat. That's not exactly how I want to watch my movies. If the focus for Kinect is creating games like Dance Central that naturally would require you to be off your couch, that's great. But I have to say, no one thinks "I am driving a car!" while standing up in their living room.

  YOU CANNOT SIT AND USE KINECT   

DOA

[Eel O'Brian]

that's...not good

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, that thing is pretty much useless to me now. Way to go, Microsoft.

"I don't sit down when I play games or watch movies anyway"

[maxy]

FUD

It doesn't have to capture whole skeleton points,only selected points...what would be the point of full skeletal gesture recognition while sitting

Jumping wouldn't work also.

HOLY SHIT, are they trying to KILL Kinect?

Jesus, this can't be true.

[Jansen]

why wouldn't you want this to be true? the faster kinect fails the quicker msft can get back to focusing on what's important - GAMES!!

Sfags would lose either way...there is no win for them

Exactly.  The more fucked up, the better.

[pilonv1]

I was thinking "this must be bullshit", then I read the Forza Kinect preview and there's no breaking or accelerating, so this is fucked.

Good point 

[iconoclast]

I hope the rumored $190 price point is true too. I'm not sure I've ever wanted a product to crash and burn so much before.

[Sho Nuff]

Dude I am literally standing next to miyamoto now at the kinect booth and he is watching people play Joyride with this amazing WTF look. I want to say YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Punch him in the nuts.

[TripleA]

Yes you can sit or stand with Kinect, depends on the game or experience.

Translation: You can only sit while video chatting 

[Eel O'Brian]

the difference here is people who hate waggle as a control method hate every form of it, while triple a just wants to suck that glowing pink ball until it melts on his tongue

[Akala]

I actually just watched a few promo vids of this over the xboxen and WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS WORSE THAN I IMAGINED. does that look in any way fun to anyone?

haven't seen any vids of move yet, but that will have to wait for another day. have to consider my blood pressure or something. 

[TripleA]

It definitely looks like fun for individuals under the age of 5.

This is like a Green Shinobi-esque self annihilation that can be applied to nearly all of your gaming forum posts

[Eel O'Brian]

he committed suicide in the virtual realm

was it something like this?

Holy fucking shit yes, that was the face. That must have been when he moved one booth to the right to check out the Adventures game.

[TripleA]

One developer with whom I spoke and who is familiar with how Microsoft is briefing studios making games for Kinect said the company has specifically advised developers to not make games that would involve the player's sitting down.

[Eel O'Brian]

so have you broken open your yoshi bank to see if you have enough saved for the complete move package?

[TripleA]

I could have sworn this topic was about Kinect.

[Eel O'Brian]

it's pretty much all the same bullshit, and also i don't care

[TripleA]

I wonder if Kinect can detect an erect Penis.

I mean technically, it is standing.

[Eel O'Brian]

they really gimped the fuck out of this thing when they removed the processor, didn't they?

[TripleA]

Looks like it.

But I fully expect some more damage control faked videos to pop up showing Kinect being used while sitting down.

Because if Kinect can not be used while sitting, then Microsoft have officially killed the product.

[MCD]

sit down son.

[Eel O'Brian]

i read the whole article, sounds like they're still actively working on calibrating for sitting, i'd imagine it's a pretty big deal for them to iron out before launch

[TripleA]

I sure hope so

[maxy]

I don't think that sitting and playing games fits into their marketing strategy,at least for now.

Imagine some fat dude sitting and playing Kinect,sfag gif factory would overload.

User interface,yes.

[Philip Cardgage]

So its getting pretty positive feedback, but even if this thing worked incredibly well, I don't think it would find the success they hope for.

They should have learned from Zune.

[TripleA]

Update: You WILL be able to sit with Kinect

spoiler (click to show/hide)

not for games though

[close]

In response to that article, Microsoft representatives reached out to IGN to clarify, saying we definitely will be able to sit while using Kinect. Representatives said they want to provide a comfortable, enjoyable experience for users and understand that people don't want to watch a movie standing up.

Great, I'm back on board!

Thanks Third! Methodis! Triple A!

How many creditcards have you maxed out for getting those results?

[TripleA]

So Microsoft confirmed Kinect doesn't work for anything while seated.

It's a good thing they gave every 'journalist' $300, otherwise the press would be BRUTAL right about now.

[Third]

I'm sure they'll fix it months after the release. But I'm afraid only maxy and other six people are still using it by then.

I don't get how MS could overlook this issue. Do they think all people on earth have infinite square foot livingrooms?

yes, I'm sure it never occurred to them until just now
