Kinect

[yomomma1]

Pricing makes sense. Kinect can have 4 players at a time, right? A price of any current gen game controller is... 50 dollars New. Hm... 150 seems cheap to me.

What's with this recent trend of pretending like gamers have friends?

Kinect isn't for gamers. It is for people.

Kinect doesn't enthuse me. Move does a little... and why not? If nothing else we may get some great rail shooters on the PS3, and maybe a nicely accurate way of pointing at things on the screen -- opening up more detail oriented RTS type games.

My real disappointment was Time Crisis for the PS3. The light-gun, while bulky, was astoundingly awesome and accurate. Sad only one title came out that used it.

Why is it that even though the wiimote is technically just a more advanced lightgun, it's nowhere near as awesome?

Juding from the Kevin Butler vid about the Move, I'm guessing that sony doens't plan on banking on it or tapping into the "casual market" to the extent microsoft is. Seems like they're looking at it more as an addon.

I honestly think that Natal (I'm not calling it that... other name) will be a flop. Microsoft's trying to aim for the same demographic wii is, and they're 4 years late to the party.

I want 3D sonic 2 special stages with motion controls. That is all.

Here's my impression of the Kinect. Several ripoff Wiigames and a couple of driving games where you can't control the velocitator.

Yeah, very disappointing overall. I did like Child of Eden from Tetsuya Mizuguchi but I need way more than one game to even consider it and the rumored price point is way too much of an entry point if true.

Am I the only one who thinks this is gonna be awesome? Not the gimmicky games but just the overall interface. Using your voice and hands (without a controller) to navigate the dashboard is gonna be great.

judging from what we saw on the live feed, it looks a lot more awkward overall than using a controller.

That was my thought. It seems like they're trying to go for that Minority Report style of control, except in the movie they were touching the "screens" like you might manipulate an iPhone. The Kinect dashboard seems to me to be just a bit too abstract to be comfortable.

And as someone mentioned, is a controller REALLY that hard to use on a menu? Hell, these days they're wireless, so you can have it next to the TV remote.
