Here’s Why My Xbox One Is Still DisKinected

Dylan Z of iGR writes: "I went through, carefully unpacking the many objects, but when the time came to remove Kinect from its resting place; I hesitated."

Sneaky Microsoft. "Xbox One can be operated without Kinect plugged in...but we are going to annoy the hell out of you until you break and plug it in."

Livecustoms3801d ago

*And charge you an extra $100 lol

cleft53801d ago

If you buy the Xbox One, you might as well give the Kinect a chance. The reality is that if you want to make some sort of stance you would not have brought the Xbox One at all. I didn't buy a Xbox One because of privacy issues related to the Kinect, etc. But if you have put down the $500 you might as well give the Kinect a whirl because you already supported it when you paid $500 for the Xbox One.

GarrusVakarian3801d ago

My Kinect is staying in the box, i just don't have any use for it. Im perfectly comfortable using a controller to do everything and it annoys me that it's included with every X1. A Kinect-less SKU would be very appealing to many people.

Ketzicorn3801d ago

Their going to have to eventually drop the Kinect. I'm a Day 1 buyer and its not a big deal to me even though I won't use it for much but with all the reports of it not working as advertised even less people are going to want to buy it after the intial rush knowing that Kinect is the reason the price is so high and will wait untill they drop it and the price before they buy one.

I am willing to bet both my XB1 and my PS4 that we will NEVER see them sell the XB1 without Kinect.

It won't happen.

Not saying I agree with that, just predicting that it isn't going to happen.

MS please make a Kinectless SKU; most people don't want it.

It's because people don't want it that they are including it with the Xbox lol. They are deluding themselves into thinking kinect is going to revolutionize gaming and know the only way developers will support it is if the adoption rate is high enough.

TheEnigma3133801d ago

Even then, I still don't think developers will use it much. First party games may, but I doubt 3rd party will use it.

Death3801d ago

It's too bad the PS4 didn't include similar tech. Without it, devs will have less of a reason to support the tech since it's not available on both consoles.

UnHoly_One3801d ago

Almost guaranteed that this will never happen.

Themba763801d ago

I would buy there console if they did that

supes_243801d ago

I'd buy a Kinect less Xbox for sure. I agree with you on that, they need at least two options for gamers. I hate how they're forcing it on people. They kind of have to tho, with all the media they're trying to do with the Xbox such as Skype and voice commands.

If your keeping it disconnected from your console then what was the point in buying the launch console.....you should of just waited for Kinect-less bundle which will come out next year if the sales are low enough.

UnHoly_One3801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

I really think you guys that are counting on this are going to surprised.

I think there is a nearly ZERO percent chance that they ever release a Kinect-less model.

FragMnTagM3801d ago

I don't see it happening either. It works really well from what I used of it last night.

It got confused a couple times out of the 100 or so commands I threw at it. That is a pretty good success rate.

Some of the commands aren't quite clear right away, but if you say "XBOX" then wait a second, it will give more voice options. If you say XBOX and whatever you want to do quickly, the extra commands menu won't have time to pop up as it instantaneously goes to what you want.

I am sure there are going to be faulty units and there will be people complaining, but when it works, it is quite awesome.

-Foxtrot3801d ago

But the games aren't going anywhere...

CalebZachary84113801d ago

No, they aren't going anywhere. But have you ever built up a back log so large you never got to a game you really wanted to play? If there is a game THEY MUST HAVE right now, then it makes sense.

UnHoly_One3801d ago

Just curious, Fox, why are you so convinced they WILL release one without Kinect?

UnHoly_One3800d ago

That's not really an answer.

Blues Cowboy3801d ago

I'm enjoying Kinect, TBH. It's not exactly the slickest thing ever, and god knows it REALLY should have been smaller, but it's just really... fun.

That said, I'd have forgotten about it if the installs weren't taking so damn long, maybe.

BTW, Xbox One Skype is outstanding. Really cool, even tracks you around the room.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx3h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro11h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh8h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia8h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins9h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Hades 2 Is Already Fixing The First Game's Biggest Problems

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho5112h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise12h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel198911h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows9011h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

gerbintosh3h ago

Who haven't even played the game either

Inverno10h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA10h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
