Gameondaily had the opportunity to put the new Kinect sensor through its paces at Gamescom with Kinect Sports Rivals. Opinion on the hardware is mixed, at least as far as motion control gaming is concerned.
(Warning: Video contains mild swearing)
When an original game becomes a hit, it can be difficult to re-configure its secret sauce into an equally enjoyable sequel.
Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.
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.
Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.
The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.
Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made
Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.
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.
"Some good digital games for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 are on sale at Amazon. Deals include Battlefield Hardline $10, Star Wars: Battlefront Deluxe $35, Kinect Sports Rivals $12 and more!"
If you got young kids around the house, you don't want to be playing games like COD or DOOM. These are some kid friendly games you could get to keep your kiddo's entertained.
That lag is still noticable,.. Heck, M$ can't even get MIDI lag right,. as there is still lag on windows OS,.. but zero lag on mac's OSx,. So it doesn't surprise me Kinect still has slight lag.
(miniscule, but still noticeable.) imho -there should be none.
lol 1:1 tracking yet ANOTHER lie MS has said....how many does this make. my oh my I didnt expect them to lie so much. im really not feeling ms right now.......but I didnt need a video to show me the Kinect was a gimmick. X1 will fail....and no I dont want it to. its just they've lost their way, they are about money and thats all bad.
I understand this is a business and money is the focus, but you dont sell spam and call it ham. in business the customer is your boss and if you lie to them they will leave you. they will leave and go directly to your competition.....and this is why they will fail.
"It works….kind of…"
This should be the slogan for Kinect and motions controls in general that aren't dance games w/ the exception of a few Wii title and a few PS3 titles motion control gaming as the focus just doesn't work. The sole reason I'm getting the PS camera is for Media Molecule's PS4 title, if anyone can do anything phenomenal w/ motion control gaming it's them, they're creative geniuses.

Other than that I have pretty much ZERO faith in motion control gaming at this point w/ what the technology has presented thus far.
Great article and site Septic, good job.
"It works….kind of…"
Not good enough.
Kind of? I don't particularly like the sound of that. If you're being forced to buy this thing for an extra hundred bones, it damn sure needs to be accurate like it says it is.
