I will say that was the first time I have ever seen the wife get wide eyed and kind of excited over a video game. Is anyone getting it? Or read reviews saying to get it or not?
from what I can tell basically like a Wii except no controller, it recognizes your body is the controller with your movements and commands etc. But like an interactive type accsessory
"Kinect for Xbox 360[5], or simply Kinect (originally known by the code name Project Natal[5] (pronounced /nəˈtɒl/ nə-tahl)), is a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform, and may later be supported by PCs via Windows 8.[6] Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands,[7] or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base.[8] It will compete with the Wii Remote with Wii MotionPlus and PlayStation Move motion control systems for the Wii and PlayStation 3 home consoles, respectively." It seems cool, the health freak games, weight loss games, and kiddie games will be big for the Kinect. I bet real-time stragety games can utilize Kinect. Don't expect shooters coming out for this.. Watching movies and such will be easier with this.. No stupid controller mess ups to ruin your movie.
F-ing A I didnt think about this.. I HATE when I accidentally bump my controller and back out of my netflix or press the trigger to fast forward
Seems like the obvious application for this is light saber dueling and boxing and tennis. Competition where you naturally move in real life. I always find Wii tennis kind of a let down because you really only have to move the controller a little--there's no incentive to really use accurate motions that would work in a real tennis game.
Also very true. I think this would be good for the very casual gamers. And family stuff. Might not be fun forever for me. But def fun for the wife, and would have her hate video games less lol.
Yeah, so now you'll be watching a movie, shout at your teenage kids, "STOP talking or so help me I'll turn the POWER OFF!" and your wife will be pissed off because god dammit Julia Roberts was just about to get boned by Richard Gere, but in the tender "fuck me because I love you way" and not the "fuck me because I paid you to" way. "Nevermind," the wife says, "I'm not in the mood now anyway." And pow, just like that you are out of action for the night. Fuck you, Xbox Kinect. Fuck you.
I haven't hear anything else other than its racist, and could not identify 2 African-American's faces.. Everything else worked though.
I'd like to see a "Sex Positions" game. You have to match the sex position and thrust level... my wife and I could have some fun with that!!!! Does HCP have an xbox 360?
