Natal now Kinect, with weak ass games for launch•Kinectimals lets you train and play

I hope so, ASSEM. And that's the only way I'd play with this piece. Make art with my jimmy john.

 

I await my first japanese X-rated Kinect game.

 

That just might happen since pretty much you must be asian to play the games in the first place.

:lol:

Don't forget Videochat being used for "online sex".

 

Oh No... Sales of Uno will drop !!!!

Won't someone please think of Uno!!!

-edit-
Actually with in a month I expect to hear disgusting stories of group party masturbation to porn films. *puke*

 

Imagine the potential advertising for this overpriced, 21st Century 32X:

Milo + Kate + YOU = Kinect
Kinect with Milo, Kate and 20 different Kinectimals - exclusive to Xbox 360!

('Kin' Hell)
*retches*

 

Mizoguchi's Child of Eden looks like a succesor to Rez, so there something to look forward to.

Not enough to justify a $99+ price tag.

 

So its $150, fucking neogaf, but still thats 50 bucks over what most expected to pay for it.

MS is really pushing things for gamers: no price cut, the new X360 gets yet another shitty propietary HDD (and charges you $20 for the data transfer adapter!) and news is that they pretend to keep selling the same old crusty hardware for another 5 years!

That last point aside, if Sony really cuts the PS3 to $199, AND Move doesnt sucks balls/is less expensive than kinect then expect MS to end in last place this gen, maybe even worse than with the first Xbox.

I picture a game about fondling a 12 year-old girl in a subway, then getting her mother/brother to massage your balls while you do it.

 

i expected this kinetic to be around 39.99 O_O

no way in hell i'll buy that junk for that price!

 

what happens if you and your family are watching a movie and you get up start moving about the room, passing around popcorn, etc.? will Kinect just start randomly rewinding, skipping scenes, and pausing the movie?

 

This is a question a lot of people are asking. One good one is whats a matter if you watch a film in the dark like a lot of people do? Will it still work in dark light? I reckon a lot of people will be asking questions like this today/tomorrow on the show floor

 

yeah. hopefully the actual Kinect conference will be more informing.

 

$189.99? Yeah, in a PS fanboy's dreams. In the real world, there has yet to be any pricing on the product.

I expect they'll try and match PS Move's price ($119.99) or potentially even undercut it, seeing as they're keeping their cards close to their chest on the whole thing. (PS Move is $49.99 for the main controller, $29.99 for the navigation controller, and $39.99 for the camera).

EDIT: Corrected the prices - actually $119.99. Rumour is that Kinect will be $149.99 at launch (£99.99 in the UK), as pointed out by subbie and various news sources.

One thing the 360 fanboys will probably parrot over the coming months is that to kit out 4 players using PlayStation Move will cost almost $320, rather than the 360's $149.99.

I seriously doubt this will be an issue - unless you like spilling popcorn everywhere, I doubt you'll be flicking your hands in such a way to be misinterpreted by the console. In any case, if such a massive mistake had been made, I will be concerned for the quality control of the entire dashboard - not just Kinect!

 

Leaked price from multiple retail sources have it at $149.99.

 

My bad, I heard that in neogaf, but its still $150, which is not exactly expensive since with that much you can only buy a complete set of Move for 1P (or 2 Dildos for 2P:lol while kinect is 2P right out of the box.

Anyone else notices a short of agreement between companies regarding prices? Sony could've undercuted MS big time by releasing a $199 PS3, but didnt and instead released move suspiciously close to kinect's price

Meh, guess we won't get the price wars from the last 2 gens, maybe the hardware market is cooling down and theres no need to "get there quick" like before.

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.

No word on if that's temporary or not. They've got four-five months to fix this. I mean, seriously?"

 

good thing I don't need to stand up to play the Wii. Thanks Microsoft, much obliged.

 

All those menu ideas are pretty neat but seriously a remote does all this effectively already! And without the need to look like a complete nob doing it. You know the old saying if it aint broken don't fix it right? I really can't see anyone using it as a menu navigation or for films to be honest :shrug:

 

Having to stand is a big drawback. I can see using the voice command for accssing a menu and so on as long as it's good. I mean, the phone 3Gs voice reconition software is amazing. As long as I set the system settings to UK it will even undestand my words if I use a Liverpool accent!! Amazing stuff but it won't understand my wifes name unless I set the phone to Japanese setting. Only a minor drwback though. I just call her smith now

 

The reaction time is not very impressive (there is a time lag). Hopefully that will improve.
