It's smaller than the prototype I think.  I mean, features were removed, but that looked double this size.

I'm more concerned about the how much room you need to play.  By concerned I mean pretending this is some alternate reality where I'd buy this.

This is the actual 'problem'. It always bothers me that the internet latches onto trivial shit like size, form factor, number of vents, etc.

Although a lot of dance central vids I  look at make it seem like you don't need that much space for it to register.

† Kinect does not really work.

Hands-on: Child of Eden with Kinect controls (http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-child-of-eden-with-kinect-controls-184815.phtml)

Quote
Kinect effectively ruined my experience with Child of Eden.

Quote
I couldn't get the game to let me aim outside of a 1/4 screen-sized boundary in the middle of the screen. I also couldn't shoot a lot of the time, or even move the cross-hairs. There was no sense of "playing a game with your body," just a sense of trying to communicate with a game that wasn't listening to me.

Quote
I got so bored with the game's unresponsive attitude that I eventually started to breakdance.

Quote
Kinect only served to botch the whole experience. The motion controls don't work. Someone better get back to the drawing board before Child of Eden comes out Q1 of next year.

Odama's debut at E3 showcased its use of the DK Bongos, which allows a second player to raise troop morale and distract enemy troops by repeatedly beating the drums.[1] However, this feature was dropped prior to the game's release.

Kinect then, which we got to try with the E3 playable demo. As you may know, here at Gamersyde we aren’t really fans of this new technology, quite interesting on paper, but in the end way too limited for Gamer titles. So it was with quite a bit of skepticism that we went and placed ourselves in front of Microsoft’s 3D camera. After all the videos showing some lag between the player movements and what happened on the screen, we had every reason to be worried. But in the end, after just one minute, it’s almost completely forgotten. Let’s be fair here, it works very well, but it’s also incredibly fun and it conveys quite an out of this world feeling.

Contrary to many other Kinect titles that require the player to move around like a crazy person, Child of Eden is all about moderation. Just a single hand held up to move the cursor, a fast movement to fire, plus two special moves: Clap hands to switch between “painting” mode and auto fire (required from time to time), and move both hands up in the air for the happy bomb(banzai gesture). A very simple setup, and one that doesn’t make you feel at all like a fool when playing. It’s a pleasure to play, but also to watch someone else do the motions.

Djmizuhara's thoughts

I walked away from the demo wanting to play it more, (I played it 9 times during the press event) as it was like no other game I've ever played before. In fact, it's not a game in my eyes, it's an experience, an experience I've never had the pleasure of experiencing up until now. Kinect gave me a new experience of controller free gaming, something I didn't think was possible given today's technology. Even at this early stage of development, I feel that Mizuguchi has delivered on Microsoft's promise of controller free gaming. I felt like a conductor conducting and electronic light show. After the press event had finished, all I could think about for the next few days was Child of Eden. Tetsuya Mizuguchi has sold me on the technology I didn't think I wanted. Suffice to say, Child of Eden blew me away with its stunning visuals and perfectly paced music. Child of Eden was definitely my game of TGS.

guys, I read that playing children of eden with the kinect full body experience was a paradigm shift.  It's the type of game you want to play on easy and just experience.  You need to experience the magical experience before judging it.

there is a video on gametrailers that shows someone playing with the proper 360 controller.

No one ever had to move their coffee table to play Wii. And wii sold great for like 4 years straight. After Dance Central sells a million or two, kinect will be finished by next christmas.  To sustain the franchise, Harmonix will then have to develop their own knockoff camera and release it on separate platforms as a bundle.  Also, I'll get laid, yup.

aside from the rest of the seemingly endless list of special conditions Kinect needs to work, I have creaky floors in my apt building, as does every 20 something living in relatively older buildings in New York, Chicago, Boston, etc.  I would get destroyed by my neighbors and landlord after an hour or two of playing anything on this.   I would rather reserve my "making a fuck ton of noise" nights for sex.


Despite all this, this thing will probably have strong sales because the world sucks at life.

they won't give up that easily, first they'll try to wheedle devs into working kinect functionality in controller based games in a desperate attempt to appeal to mainstream gamers

It's going to be funny when Microsoft backpedals and introduces their own wagglewand next gen. STANDARD.

edit: I think I'm just going to copy this every page this thread grows.
(http://imgur.com/32v6N.gif)

edit 2: I'm actually not against the Kinect technology on principle. Dance and Fitness games look like the could be fun tied to ideal camera tech.  If they ever get around to having a depth camera device that works as advertised I would probably be interested. It'd be important though, that it would supplement a wagglewand as well.  It's really distinguished mentally-challenged how Microsoft is going out of its way to mimic the wii's pointing functions and software catalouge without thinking if it couldn't have been done better in an obvious way.

Quote
The required play distances are confirmed in the document: “The sensor can see you when you are approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the sensor. For two people, you should play approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) from the sensor.”

The manual also provides height information for placing: “For the best play space and sensor performance, place your sensor between 2 and 6 feet (0.6 and 2 meters) high, the closer to the low or high limit the better.”

If the camera can’t see you, you should “turn on lights to brighten the play space,” “try wearing different colored clothing that contrasts with the background of your play space,” and “prevent lights, including sunlight, from shining directly on the sensor.”

"For best results when using Kinect, please paint the back wall of your room green and glue ping-pong balls to your clothing."

The required play distances are confirmed in the document: “The sensor can see you when you are approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the sensor. For two people, you should play approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) from the sensor.”

The manual also provides height information for placing: “For the best play space and sensor performance, place your sensor between 2 and 6 feet (0.6 and 2 meters) high, the closer to the low or high limit the better.”

If the camera can’t see you, you should “turn on lights to brighten the play space,” “try wearing different colored clothing that contrasts with the background of your play space,” and “prevent lights, including sunlight, from shining directly on the sensor.”

No one ever had to move their coffee table to play Wii.

But they had to move their Wii from in front of a door or off a stack of paper.

Are K-cheevs an extra 250 on top of the 1000, or are developers allowed to carve points from the flesh of hard-working hardcore gamers and give them to undeserving sub-casuals. :fbm
