Kinect HD Is Xbox One's Best Idea

Thatgamecompany founder Jenova Chen wants to make games that "bring people together", that "relate" to people on a "human" level. The new version of Kinect, meanwhile, can read your expression and handle up to six participants in local multiplayer. Would it be utterly, disgracefully literal-minded of me to suggest that Chen and Microsoft's whiz-bang peripheral might do rather well out of one another?

Kinect is like the Hula hoop. Everyone had to have one, then after a month when people realized it wasn't that fun no one wanted one anymore.

sonarus3944d ago

kinnect is not for everyone and its certainly not for me. The allure of motion gaming in my opinion is long gone. Wii was great for a while but eventually even the wii sales waned and they still didnt improve with the release of the wii u. Kinnect, ps eye toy, move controller or whatever the technology is old and outdated. New technology as we go into future generations will be appreciated.

That video show cases a guy contolling a hellicopter with his mind. This would be something i would be excited about because it actually doesn't require any stress or jumping around sacrificing precise controls in the name of fun which really just means looking like an idiot most of the time.

Screw kinnect, move or eye toy voice controls or whatever additional feature as long as it decreases precision i can get from a controller i am not interested at all

It brings casuals together, as for hardcore gamers who want precision skilled based games, it's something to turn your xbone on and off.

darthv723944d ago

maybe your point would have been better if you said pet rock instead of hula hoop. As far as i know, the hula hoop is still a viable product. Pet rock....not so much.

@creatchee, yeah that really proves the hula hoop is no fun............/jk

Urusernamesucks3944d ago

I wanted it, I still think developers can do many things with the new and improved kinect 2.0

green3944d ago

High praise indeed for Kinect 2 from the developer of Journey. Hope he gets to make a game that will make good use of it sometime in the near future.

thekhurg3944d ago

Their best idea was reversing their DRM policies. Kinect isn't a good idea at all, nor is it a bad one. I'm pretty sure the gaming community as a whole could take or leave Kinect and not care (if it was free).

But it's inflating the cost of this console by $100 so people are irritated by it.

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

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.

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_B1h ago

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

shinoff21831h ago

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

Asplundh1h ago

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

Knightofelemia49m ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

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

Abnor_Mal38m ago

The first game was the best imo.

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.

Juancho514h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise4h ago

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

Michiel19894h ago

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

Crows903h ago

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

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno2h ago

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

Tody_ZA2h 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.
