They were right.

Kinect is meh ( and too expensive ).

B-Real2065026d ago

This was a very good video and inciteful. I dig Anton, I wish I did what he does. Overall I'm looking forward to the Move and any competition from Kinect is cool. Gamers Win!

lordgodalming5026d ago

Inciteful AND insightful. N4G pun WIN! :)

sikbeta5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

It was explained why Sony and Nintendo rejected this 3dv tech, the company that MS bought, went to Nintendo HQ to show em their motion-tech and N rejected

Then the same company went to Sony HQ to show the tech and Sony rejected, Dr Richard Marks tested the camera and said it was expensive for what it can do, so they found an affordable product for Motion-gaming = PS-EYE + Move

MS wanted some kind of motion and bought this 3dv company

This Video show Dr Richard Marks demoing the 3dv cam on a PS2

These Videos show Dr Richard Marks demoing motion with the PS2 and the Eye-toy

Edit:

Richard Marks and Anton, both are great guys, they're like real gamers, not boring ass PR guys, I'll totally support Move, congrats for making and showing an Awesome device with limitless possibilities when it comes to gaming and other stuff...

HeroComplex5026d ago

HHG was so worried about his cameraman's hungry belly that he forgot to get footage of the new tech demos that Anton talked about earlier in the interview!

rockleex5026d ago

Even though it was never hinted at that Street Fighter will use Kinect?

Congrats HHG for doing what you do, but please stop with all the made-up stuff.

HolyOrangeCows5026d ago

10:15-11:15

Important point.

Bigpappy5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Good job HHG. I knew you could find a way to win them back. They just don't want any negative stuff on a certain console. Know wat a mean? Riiight.

NoBias5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

I watched the show all the way through for the first time. This kinda stuff will get you viewers on a consistent basis HHG.

nveenio5025d ago

I never thought I'd say this, but......that was a pretty good video. And he didn't even use misleading titles! If HHG would make all of his videos like this one, I could see myself being a regular watcher.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that he was talking about something awesome with someone awesome.

barom5025d ago

Hate to admit it but HHG has some of the best interviews. The one with David Jaffe was one of the best Jaffe interviews if not the best and similarly, this interview is one of the best PS Move interviews if not the best.

Rumor5025d ago

SONY basically snuff-nosed kinect: "not good enough for us....MEH"

lmao!

Watch this video. Nice interview. Congrats HHG.

Anton is awesome, he really knows his stuff and his explanation about why Sony dropped the 3D camera, makes total sense.

Some respect to Sony for pushing Motion Controls in the right direction. Tomorrow when Kinect stuff is collecting dust past the flashy moments, MOVE will be kicking ass with so many creative games.

@above

You can lol all you want but at the end of the day I'll be playing hardcore game and LOLing at 36T wasting $150 to "dance" with Kinect. MOVe potential is there for you to see, RUSE is getting support, echocronome ii is mindblowing, you got to be sheep to ignore that.

hoops5026d ago

You dont knwo how Kentic will sell. Yes we know you hate MS but you dont know the market...Remember how EVERYONE said the Wii would not sell because its a gimmick......but wait..........

raztad5026d ago

It's not that I "hate" MS. Just that I dont see anything in Kinect to look forward. I mean nothing, pure casual shovelware, because the tech doesnt allow for much more.

In the recently past E3 two things happened at the same time: Nintendo came back for their core market and MS pulled a Nintendo, trying to get a piece of the casual. If anything MS is hating on their core users, because Kinetics is much much casual than Wii motion controllers.

Regarding sales. Too bad I wasted my first bub replaying to Omega post. I said it is likely Kinetic to sell more, but the point are the capabilities of the tech not just how may units are sold.

DevastationEve5025d ago

Move is a Wiimote. People said Wii wouldn't sell because of it being a gimmick.

I can't believe how stubborn PS3 gamers are, here comes something new for a change and instead of embracing Kinect they'd rather have a Wiimote knockoff so they can still play their so-called hardcore games instead of looking ahead into the future at what Kinect will offer.

The Xbox Empire5025d ago

hahahahahahahahahahhaaha

APOCALYPS3: YOU ARE THE TRUTH.

Welcome to the world of dishonest, last place and angry PS3 gamers.

TheBlackSmoke5025d ago

The funny thing is the 360 fanboys cant even deny what raztad is saying because they know its true, so its back to buh buh teh sales as if that's an indicator of which tech is better.

@apocalps3

Dude the kinect is as much like the eye toy as the move is like the wii mote. Both of these new technologys are advances on their predecessors, difference is microsoft have yet again not looked to the future, instead trying to captilize on the shovelware market as it is now.

ThanatosDMC5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

If Kinect is the future, i dont know anything anymore. Seriously, go to Macy's and tell me how that is the future of gaming.

BkaY5025d ago

xcuse the fuk out of me... but do u know thing called "eyetoy" on ps3...

may be not coz you were born with 360 controller in you hands..

but seriously name one game on kinect which was not on eyetoy...

if move is wiimote then kinect is eyetoy....

peace

FACTUAL evidence5025d ago

For toddlers, but if you want to play with the pros you've got to move it move it!

lastdual5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Since when do the "pros" care about any form of motion control?

Most harcore gamers will simply be glad when gimmicks like Move and Kinect have come and gone. Let the casuals keep them. We're doing just fine with controllers.

DigitalAnalog5025d ago

HipHopGamer missed his opportunity to showcase his over-zealous reaction by forgetting to reveal Anton's "Chameleon Demo" in the last minute.

-End statement

whothedog5025d ago

haha That was a great interview HHG

ThanatosDMC5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

I havent watched these vids, but what's up with HHG's championship belt?

Does the color of the ball represent something or you can change it to whatever you want? I know, it changes for Sorcery though.

Great interview.

"Gimmicky and flashy." -Anton then HHG laughs... HAHAHAH!

Persistantthug5025d ago

HIPHOPGAMER delivers some of the BEST one on one interviews in the entire gaming industry....

There's no more doubt in my mind about that.

xxLuckyStrike5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

pass on Kinect tech...then M$ picked it up...get it right son.. i love how Sony fanboys think Sony did everything first...Sony let the caveman make the wheel...Sony let the egyptians create writing....Rediculous

Edit:

At the end of the day PSMove is a HD Wiimote with a 2d tracking cam. This guy Anton is a tool. Making it out to be more than what it is...Good job

There is more Public interest in Kinect than Move also as of to day Pre-orders of Kinect are sky rocketing even after the announcement of the high price goes to show how popular Kinect is.
The Future is Kinect the public has chosen Kinect get over it Sony we've seen all that before..........Wii lol.

Controller free gaming has been done... the Activator reminds me of Kinect... anyone else?

DlocDaBudSmoka5025d ago

ive been sayin that since day 1. +bubs

nunley335025d ago

early 90's i think, i remember the ads in my old gaming mags and is the kinect's ancestor.It was advertised as playing Mortal Kombat with it would change everything,but it changed nothing.Unlike the WII and NINTENDO who have been constantly innovating, Nintendo has been copied a whole lot more than the other 2 by FAR.

spooky2055025d ago

I also remember the 3d PC games that were out long before nintendo, sega, and sony ever thought of coming up with the idea. However since the majority of gamers are much too young to remember these things they get a warped sense of reality. They start believing that their console of choice is the master of innovation when most likely 9/10 someone already invented that long ago.

triggers? dreamcast did that years ago. Online gaming? Phantasy star online did that years ago on the dreamcast too. 3d gaming? There was these cool 3d games packaged with every packard bell computer. Motion control gaming? Le stick on atari 2600. I could go on but the fanboys will just hit me with disagrees anyways with no arguements or facts to back anything up.

Zinc5025d ago

@spooky205 - The only thing I would have to disagree on would be online gaming. The first online gaming were text based MUDs. I still play them. I think Asheron's Call was the first 3D online game.

Otherwise, what you say is true and even the Dreamcast being the first could be true if you remove PC's from the picture.

extermin8or5026d ago

@ hacker the wii didn't have high pre order rates actually, it was only the christmas after it was released when people saw what it could do that it's sales went through the roof, I think you shouldn't count your eggs before they are layed and I think M$ are playing a dangerous game putting all their might behind kinect you shouldn't put all your egs in one basket lol

Red Panda5026d ago

Thats a very good point.

Terarmzar5026d ago

You Xbox trolls are no better than the Ps3 trolls on here, but yet you complain about us coming to every article, Look at yourselves.

Qui-Gon Jim5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

Because I can only enjoy things based on how popular they are. I don't care how well it works or what it does, I only care how many other people own it. /s

In all seriousness, I expect Kinect to sell very well, at least initially, but I think Move is the better product for what it does. Kinect has the "wow factor", but Move just works really well.

tdogg060519915026d ago

I truly don't care about sales, if you wanna talk about a sales winner go buy a Wii. If you want to talk about who has the best motion control device. Sony has the quality.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing691h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos7h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
