[citation][nom]capt_taco[/nom]That desperate, eh?Well, that's what happens when you have a flash-in-the-pan gimmick. They should've seen this coming when everyone got tired of their Wii after 6 months. There's a good reason for this: It doesn't take very long before the novelty of motion-based controls is outweighed by the fact that it's not very much fun to stand around in your living room for 3 hours flapping your arms like an idiot.[/citation]
the games that we wanted just never came. we wanted 1 to 1 fighting, online sword fights, but it never came, and what most games come to is a waggle fest.
granted, wii and move are great when done right, and not just thrown in because they can, look at re4 on the wii as a prime example.
the kinect, however, is a whole body motion controller, that doesn't work right all the time, even when it is working, and the games that can be fun on it, are really just party games, see they took a controller away from the player for much of it.
now thats not saying a little kid cant get enjoyment from it, but its not going to be a good hard core experience. that said, augmenting aspects of the game to the thing, like that one skateboard demo, where they scanned art and it was in game, great idea.
the main use of the kinect will be outside of games geared for kids, a short sight on microsofts part.
another great area is if they open kinect up for the indi developers.
