Edge: "Three hours isn’t enough to determine whether this physical element can enhance the emotional connection players have felt to Albion and its people since the original Fable. What’s clear already, however, is that Kinect doesn’t break that bond. The opportunity to get a fresh perspective on one of gaming’s most welcoming worlds will be enough for many to take this journey. Perhaps Lionhead’s most significant achievement is giving you more reasons than that – indeed, more reasons than the majority of Kinect titles – to jump in."
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 an original game becomes a hit, it can be difficult to re-configure its secret sauce into an equally enjoyable sequel.
Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.
Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.
There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.
With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
The first Fable that I'm not interested in... and I own a Kinect.
no matter how good this game turns out there will be people who haven't played it dogging it mainly sony fanboys. to me this does look like a kinect game worth owning but I will wait and see.
I have never liked kenect, and I admit that I am a bit worried that the nextxbox will be too kenect oriented.
that said, I do hope Lionhead pulls it off. I love the Fable world and I still have high hopes for the future of the series. As of now this is the only kenect title I am interested in playing....wait and also the dragon game.
The demo was fantastic, I really felt part of the game, probably helps to have a 60 inch HDTV, but I think they did a great job with the game. Its not in the numbered Fable series, and the controls actually work really well.
People here will hate on it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a lot of things. Hell, if you went by what the majority here played you'd probably be pretty bored.
Man I loved fable 2.... This sucks.
