DJ espeed Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Edit: Now that I've done research into it, I'd say it's alright, but not as great as I initially thought. "Forza with Kinect" looked stunningly beautiful, granted there was little gameplay footage. Also, being able to walk up to the car and touch parts of it *virtually* to get a closer look at it is just spectacular. I hope the level of graphic fidelity in the view car mode makes it way into the racing gameplay. They never did disclose the pricing for Kinect, did they? All I know is when it's coming out, which is common knowledge as of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ espeed Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Very boring news. (Edit: Then again, Tentril could be referring to the whole conference and not just Kinect.) Agree(d). I see no future for Kinect... If they didn't change the name, would you guys change your opinions? Just curious. I'm not trying to change your minds or opinions. I'm merely asking what you'd think if they didn't go with Kinect as the name of the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 They could have named it buttsex or whatever would be the coolest name ever, and I wouldn't be interested. I just think its a little annoying that one of the biggest things coming out soon is Microsoft and Sony copying Nintendo. They won't beat the Wii. If the things they come out with are better than Wii remotes, Nintendo will just release a new plug-in attachment for it. And then I'm sure Sony will try to say they invented it, just like the analog stick controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 The Kinect looks like an overhyped Eye Toy with minigames and some menu uses (so far). I don't see them doing much with it. Also, the "you can look around your car" thing? Did you guys notice how far he had to bend over just to see the car's radio? Let's see what Sony has in store with the Move. MS isn't gonna do shit to the Wii with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys notice how far he had to bend over just to see the car's radio?.I suppose I never noticed, but thank god for Youtubers uploading this stuff ASAP.Edit: The claims of Kinetic being an Eye Toy for Xbox I think are perfectly valid, but doesn't the Eye Toy only do X/Y motion sensing? I'm not talking about PSEye, just the Eye Toy. EDIT 2: Ow. Get that guy some aspirin ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I suppose I never noticed, but thank god for Youtubers uploading this stuff ASAP. Try and find the Gametrailers stream. You can clearly see how far he bends over and then see the effect "in-game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ espeed Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Now that I think of it, you know that camera on Kinect and how it rotates to keep your figure in the camera? It watches you when you sleep. You know Big Brother up in Redmond? Yeah, he's watching you through that camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Xbox slim huh. dont give a fuck. Ill wait a while until people start to complain about how they built another shitty ass console. If it lasts longer than my hair cut then ill consider it. Til then, gonna keep searching around until i can fix my current E74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Well Sereph, if it's any positive note to you, the Slim 360 allegedly runs cool enough to not desolder itself into a loose-parts-box 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarletdark Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 According to engadget, the kinect is going to be selling for $150. Personally, I think that is quite pricey but to all their own.

Kirs Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I dont like to use motion controllers in general. There's nothing like a good controller, sittin and relaxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Kinect is going to fail harder than the eye toy ever did. The reason? Pricing and their entirely too smug attitude about just how awesome it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletdark Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I dont like to use motion controllers in general. There's nothing like a good controller, sittin and relaxing It really depends on the game. Twilight princess and mario galaxy were on the wii-mote and were enjoyable while others like smash bros and the eye toy (in general) sucked.

Scarletdark Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 NO!!! NEVER!!!! Just using the wiimote sucked on that game. That game was made for gamecube controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Alright then. However, thats a terrible example. If motion controls are optional then it doesn't matter if they aren't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 According to engadget, the kinect is going to be selling for $150. Welp, I'm sold. Sold on not getting it, that is. (Ooh, I'm tricky.) Being nothing but a glorified eye-toy, I thought I'd try it out. But I'm not shelling out that much money for something I'll only fiddle around with.

Andrew Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 The new Xbox doesn't like to be moved. Why the fuck would you move a console when the disc is being moved ANYWAY? That's just retarded. I'm talking ANY console EVER. My PSX fucked the crap out of my discs back in the day so I don't get why they're making big deals of it now.
