The verdict is it's a dramatic improvement on the Gamescom version. The game is far more responsive than it was in August, presumably as much a result of Microsoft's refinement of Kinect 2.0 as anything else. Punches feel almost instantaneous and even slower or more complex gestures like uppercuts and roundhouse kicks land reliably, if a moment after you've finished the movement
Buying a new video game console should be an exciting experience. Relive the launch video games that managed to suck the fun out of those purchases.
Fifa Road To World Cup 2006 might of been crap, but it had some bangin easy achievements
Night Trap was awesome, cheesy, and terrible all in one. It's a game everyone has to play.
I also loved Street Fighter The Movie, and Street Fighter: The Movie - the game.
Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen and The Muscles From Brussels all in one movie/game? Yeah its already awesome.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "A few days ago, Microsoft announced that they were officially discontinuing their Kinect motion-sensing accessory. What was once considered a chief-rival to Nintendo’s Wii revolution and an integral part of the Xbox One’s launch has come to an end, and we here at Link-Cable… couldn’t be happier. The Kinect, while sporting impressive technology never managed to live up to its full potential and most of the games released for the device either had shoe-horned in support or barely functioned as intentioned, in part because of the device’s very specific ideal conditions. So as the Kinect sails off into sunset, we’ve decided to remember the worst of times and look back at the Top 10 Worst Kinect games."
Kinect, for me, is easily worth owning for two things: Dance Central for me acting like an idiot and having fun, and Kinect Party for my kids when they want to have easy-access stupid fun at like a kid's party. Those were the only games I have enjoyed on it, and they couldn't be done any other way (well, I guess that KP is EyeToy-level work). But my hope is that when motion control falls away, we'll get a proper DDR again.
Star wars wouldnt be so bad if it didnt have.... the dancing. Ughhh that dancing.
They should do a list of 10 best kinect games as well. I'm sure fruit ninja and gun stringer would be on there. Those are actually fun to play.
When buying a new video game console - these were the titles that didn't do them justice.
That still looks pretty unresponsive, responsiveness is a MAJOR factor in a fighting game, you need to be able to plan your next move as your current move is being made....you can't do that if you have to wait half a second for your move to appear on screen. All i see is flailing, same as the off screen footage from months back. *Kicks in real life....half a second later the character kicks*.
Im sorry, but in my opinion from what ive seen so far.....this game looks like garbage.
Is the first clip Rihanna and Chris Brown?
When you use a gesture, you have to let it complete before you are allowed to start your next action. But punches are real time. The developer explain that they did this to allow for special moves that most people would not be able to pull of. Most previews that I have seen so far are positive. We will see reviews soon. I am expecting 6's and 7's instead of 1's and 3's out of 10. Good enough for casual fun. Great for kids.
AC Black Flag reference at 0:05 for the third clip? Anyways, this game looks really bad. Not surprising though cause kinect sucks!
The game looks good for the party game that it is, but that's it. Its clearly all but playing itself in some parts.
Those who want to praise it do so all you want, but just admit if only to yourself that this isn't going to be popular beyond non-gamers. That it will be quickly forgotten.
