TitanReviews predicts what Gears of War Exile may be from the rumored Kinect game to a full $60.00 prequel.
Many games have to travel through a long arduous journey before they can see the light of day and make it to the shelves. Unfortunately, some titles are not as lucky and end up getting cancelled. These are 10 games we wish wouldn't have been cancelled.
Prey 2 was Bethesda showing their true colours, unfortunately. The death of that was due to backhanded tactics in order to force an easy aquisition.
Was Prey 2 ever officially cancelled? I could have sworn Bethesda was trying to find another developer.
Anyway, not sure it counts cuz it wasn't technically in development but, Shenmue III.
You mean Shenmue III.
and what about games announced for platforms that never made it out but still released on other platforms?
Alien colonial marines on the wii-u comes to mind. despite its flaws, using the gamepad as a motion tracker screen just looked like a cool bonus.
edit: you made the correction. ;)
I believe someday Bethesda will make Prey 2 . I hope after the new Doom game comes out , ID Software will make a sequel to RAGE.
Prey 2 looked pretty damn good even from the E3 showing. It's not often we actually get a Bounty Hunter game.
Sure wish that awesome Avengers game could've gone all the way before THQ went under.
Wish they never cancelled that Lobo (DC Comics) fighting game they planned for Super Nintendo
Does anyone really miss Gears of War: Exile? Pretty much any game besides dancing and such is a disaster for Kinect.
Agreed BC and also Huxley was on fire for those two games. @ below yes Elveon was looking nice ha ha Wardevil .
Star Wars is probably my number 1 from this list.
I was following Elveon and Project Offset for years too before they died off. Wardevil was another I was excited about although we didn't see gameplay for it as far as I can remember. There were a ton of others but those were some I was most interested in.
Oh and there was a LOtR game too I was wanting to find out more about.
What was the name of that game featured in Grandmas Boy that got cancelled? That one looked fun.
Derp, replied wrong but answered underneath your post--Demonik.
Demonik (looked it up to be sure).
Sega had a game with a demon powered guy too but it was cancelled as well. I can't remember much about it but you reminded me of that via Demonik.
PS3 and 360 have always appealed to the more serious gamers, and a push for blockbuster Kinect titles (decent ones) would mean hardcore gaming gold.
Haha your point is funny actually...Xbox has the best controller (IMO), MS release a piece of hardware that eliminates the controller. *sigh* oh MS.
I don't know I like the Dual Shock controler since it feels good with all differen't types of games, with the 360 controler it only feels better when your playing FPS.
LOL @ another silly fanblogger Kinect vs. hardcore article number 4,080..
The best part is the title of the article has NOTHING to do with the article itself.
The rumored Gears game that Cliffy never said existed not releasing had NOTHING to do with who is playing Kinect.
No matter how many fan bloggers and detractors pretend otherwise, Hardcore gamers own and play Kinect.
360 NEVER needed Kinect to control shooters as the 360 controller is simply perfection for shooters.
Just in the last month hardcore gamers were using Kinect for Mass Effect 3..i bought Tiger Woods 13 launch week on the strength of playing it with Kinect.
The funniest part of the ignorance that sites like the purport when you can simply look on a random Mass Effect multilayer profile and see that they got achievements in Kinect sports, Dance Central and others.
The whole hardcore argument was silly from day one as GAMER play GAMES period. The 360 hardcore gamers are the reason the top franchises for the system are blockbusters, Kinect isn't going to change that.
What the device does is ADD to the experiences that the 360 offers in gaming and multi-media entertainment. Nothing more and nothing less.

@SockeyBoy
@VanillaBear
Seriously, why? MariaHelFutura's comment has nothing to do with which controller is the best.
@ cooguy1212
Your right I didn't mean to bring controller wars into the discussion, I was only pointing out the irony, that's all.
If Kinect was aimed at hardcore gamer would there not be more hardcore games on it? It is clearly aimed at casual gamers, not sure why it takes so long for people to figure this out.
Kinect's uses ultimately end up being shallow for a few reasons. The idea of it doing full body tracking just falls apart as you actually use it and look at the realities of creating a game for it.
First of all, no one wants to PROGRAM for perfect, 100% body tracking. It would be too much effort. So you're stuck with barely mapped limits that the developers create. Even the most serious efforts like Rise of Nightmares were smart enough to make it so a simple motion put you on rails.
Second, Kinect simply isn't accurate enough. They aren't going to patch in more accuracy, get it drastically more right next time, or get the "right" developer.....Kinect is what it is. It WORKS, but the writing is on the wall...it's far from perfect. Very far.
Traditional controllers, analog and buttons and all, are more reliable. Dance and fitness games aside, what has Kinect brought that couldn't be done already? Allowing you to wave and yell at your TV in place of clicking two buttons? How immersive is it to use a controller that works half as often?
For the Wii-type crowd? Fine. That'll do. Get some minor cardio or play Wii bowl for 5 minutes....that's great. But it will NEVER make any significant impact on those that play traditional games.
so then why did micro state that they would have plenty of harcore games for kinect? they stated this plenty of times before and just after release with a wait and see tagline, regardless, it is what it is, going by sales they are doing something right
@ EVILDEAD
Mass 3 using voice commands was useless, most didn't use it.
PS - you bought Tiger 13 last week so Kinect is doing great? I am not sure you buying a yearly sports game in a terribly down year with a terribly down game means hardcore players love it. In fact, you playing Kinect validates it being a casual thing.
'Mass 3 using voice commands was useless, most didn't use it.'
Correction..It was useless to YOU..Not me. LMAO @ preteneding that because EVEY gamer that didn't use it matters to the ones that did. Here's a fun fact MOST gamers dont use Move ot Kinect to play the games that each are compatable with. But, it won't take away the OPTION for those that do, no matter what your opninion of it is.
'you bought Tiger 13 last week so Kinect is doing great?'
Newsflash..Kinect has been doing great since launch me buying Tiger doesn't change anytihng. Which ON TOPIC, is the reason why Epic not makinbg a rumored game has zero to do with the success of Kinect.
'I am not sure you buying a yearly sports game in a terribly down year with a terribly down game means hardcore players love it. In fact, you playing Kinect validates it being a casual thing.'
LMAO @ pretending that because a game is a yearly sports title that it less a game that core gamers play? So Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed two of the biggest core franchises out there are any less core because of the time between their release dates.
Once again here are the FACTS, Hardcore gamers are among the millions and millions of gamers that OWN and play Kinect. The same 360 core gamers that went out and made Gears of War 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, and Elder Scrolls the biggest core games last year are the some of the same gamers who own and play games on Kinect.
Mass Effect 3 and Tiger Woods are the most recent implementaion of Kinect being used in core experiences.
I bought Tiger 13 for Kinect this year, just like I bought Tiger 12 and Tiger 11 for Move in the last two years.
EA will use Kinect for it top two core sports titles this year Fifa and Madden.
At the end of the day, whether you have experiences that a tailored more for the core such as Gunstringer to Steel Battallion, at the end of the day Kinect is an optional experience that is not for everybody.
But, as always it's those that don't even own the device who complain about it the most.
Evil
lol @ you people discussing this, Why MS should care about Hardcores not buying kinect, if casuals are doing it anyways?
Money is Money, no matter where it comes from and Money that comes from Kinect is already in MS's Bank Account :P
Lol @ evil... "Hardcore" gamers do not care about something that doesn't have any buttons and has up to a half second of input lag. They complain enough about a few milliseconds of lag during their online play, why in the world would they care about flailing their arms around only to see their actions represented on screen a half second later, not even factoring in online lag?
Kinect has uses for hardcore gaming, but unfortunately not any that have yet made use of it in a way that no other setup could do. For instance, Mass Effect 3 using it for voice recognition. Wii could do that, or PS3 with the eye. All it takes is a microphone. We've been doing voice recognition for decades now. I used to use it on my PC in the 90's to call up songs. Even head tracking can be done with 2d cameras.
This isn't to say kinect doesn't have it's place, it obviously does or it wouldn't sell, but it never has and never will be a hardcore gamer's desired item. It's a casual gamer's toy, nothing more.
@sikbeta
And why should I care that MS is making money from casual gamers? Should I care that Apple is making a ton of money off of causal gamers too?
People like you make NO sense. You guys always say "why should company X do this for gamers/hardcore gamers/fans when doing Y makes them a ton of money" as if we should care.
Why should I seriously care? Hell, them making a ton of money means they have no excuses not try and have a unique hardcore game that can only be done with kinect. But people like you and Evil will always say MS don't need to that. They are already making a ton money, 360 gamers are always happy, and hardcore gamers always use kinect all the time lol.
LMFAO @ the usual suspects like frosty and Outside coming out to play..
I love this internet ducktale fantasy world where ca small segment of gamers NOW pretend that ALL gamer are EXACTLY alike..simply because..you know why
"Hardcore" gamers do not care about something that doesn't have any buttons and has up to a half second of input lag.'
Too bad millions of 360 gamers prove you wrong. No matter how you spin it..50% of those record Kinect numbers from launch even through that crazy Black Friday were existing 360 gamers. You know..the ones who were hardcore from day one.
Look we get it YOU don't own or like Kinect..but it's laughable how people pretend that they can't fathom that gamers don't enjoy ALL kinds of games..period. It why a billion of us bought and still own Wiis in the first place.
Even better is Outside still trying to pretend all 360 gamers are somehow miserable because he says so. See unlike Outside's CLEARLY false statement I NEVER pretend that ALL hardcore gamers play Kinect ALL the time. I'm just the only one keeping it real. Who on earth would pretend that every gamer likes anything..let alone Kinect. That's like pretending ALL 'hardcore' gamers like EVERY 'hardcore' game released because they are supposedly 'hardcore'.
Once again, the 360 hardcore played the biggest hardcore franchises on the system for over half a decade..but sorry to break it to you..a whole lot of em' own and play games on Kinect. Don't worry though..it's not the end of the world..you can keep pretending the world is flat is though.
Evil
He's at it again! LOL
You call me a usual suspect and I call you a usual MS defender fair enough huh?
Moving along...
Evil when did I say that ALL 360 gamers are miserable?
And you claim to keep it REAL LMAO? We all know you'll defend MS till the death, but of course you'll deny that too and "pretend" to keep it real.
I didn't literally mean that all 360 gamers are happy, all of them like kinect, etc.
I was just saying that in way to express how you would defend me bringing up the notion that MS should make an actual hardcore title that is exclusive to kinect.
What does "there are hardcore gamers that enjoy all types of games" have to do with anything?
There still aren't any hardcore titles for it and by that I mean exclusive to kinect, don't bring up tacked on game please.
If hardcore gamers aren't buying kinect for hardcore games then kinect is failing to bring a hardcore experience, thus kinect isn't "kinecting" with hardcore gamers, it's just "kinecting" with their casual side, END OF.
***"the 360 hardcore played the biggest hardcore franchises on the system for over half a decade..but sorry to break it to you..a whole lot of em' own and play games on Kinect. Don't worry though..it's not the end of the world..you can keep pretending the world is flat is though."***
This is something you have got to stop doing. You make yourself out to be butthurt that I am making an argument against your comments. Nobody is playing "pretend" here. Except for maybe you since you insist to pretend that other are pretending...
@Evil...
The Kinect and Move needs more varied and in-depth games dedicated to them...which for some translates into hardcore titles. Who bought the system is not in question, but the quality of the games they can support.
The tech for both is cool, and many "hardcore" bought it to check it out. After all a hardcore gamer is much more likely to play a casual game than a casual gamer a hardcore game. However the potential to revolutionize gaming just isn't there when it is only used for voice commands, etc. Sell millions? Sure, but it doesn't mean it is going to be used or move software, unless it hits that rare "casual" gold like a Wii Sports or Dance Central. Otherwise expect low quality shovelware and lots of dust on the Kinect.
Don't be defensive. The EyeToy sold too, and that was used for all of two days in my household. I'm still waiting for something other than Heavy Rain for Move. So it isn't a Microsoft/XBox problem. It is a motion control problem.
That said, I hope MS, Ninty and Sony don't give up on motion controllers. I think they have their place, but only on the periphery. Honestly, with Dance Central in Star Wars and Sorcery being worked on ad infinitum, I don't think either company knows what to do with their respective motion controllers. One day, some dev may give us that hardcore Kinect game, but it doesn't look like it will be Epic.
Because it sucks!!! And the only thing that's supposedly hardcore is some on-rail shooting crap!!!
Kinect needs a nunchuck type controller before it gets my attention......again
Even golf games dnt feel right without a controller. Then again that's available with move and wii and that doesn't interest me either
Bottom line ANY gimmick body/move controls don't work for games I play IMO
Why Isn't Kinect "Kinecting" with Hardcore Gamers?
DO WE REALLY NEED TO ANSWER that??? SERIOUSLY do we??
controllers better than body movement.
I have no idea. With so many hardcore games for Kinect that arent on-rails and all those games that "Better with Kinect" having the entire experience improved and expanded, Im genuinely baffled why hardcore gamers arent running out to buy it.
Oh wait, Kinect doesnt have any hardcore games nor do the games that support it get any improvements that make it a necessity. Mystery solved.
theres really no games for kinect. Theres even a low amount of casual games for it aswell. And games that have little kinect features aren't that great like looking at a car on Forza 4 or driving a car with the kinect its just easier to use the controller.
If they'd make some good games other than the same stuff you get for the Wii or Move than I'd be more inclined to get one and play but theres not a single Kinect game that I would say I truly want to play.
The truth is that they don't care. No matter how much people try to convince you otherwise, they don't care. No hardcore gamer would give up their controller for Kinect.The question is 'Why jump around and swing your arms everywhere when you can just pick up the controller and sit down'. So in short hardcore gamers don't care. And to make it worse casual gamers who are used to playing better games then Kinect games don't care either.I am talking about the Mario Kart, Sly Cooper, TMNT 2 type of casual not the play Angry Birds and any dumbed down game type of casual.
Funny thing the KinectAddict did a video of him playing tiger woods online with kinect aginst a guy with a controller and was wrecking him with kinect. Once he told him he was using kinect he rage quitted. I think that kinect working depends mostly on 2 main variables space and familiarity with the games controls this is the smae with controllers of course your gonna suck balls at the game if you dont really know how to play.
That doesn't stop people from not caring. Sales and scores speak for themselves. Look at Child of Eden that was supposed to be what brought the hardcore and haters to Kinect. It barely sold at all and it got many great scores. No one cares about people shouting 'You just suck' or 'Your doing it wrong' or 'turn your head to the side and lift up your arm and it should work 'or just grab a stick to get some physical feedback'.
When people sit down with a controller, it is comfortable and easy. People don't want to have to raise their hand every time they want to throw a grenade or talk to the screen for hours or swaying back and forth just to try and navigate with a car or pretend to walk across down a path.
I know people will hate on me for saying it but unless it is simplistic, Kinect barely works. I have heard people say it, I have watched it in action and I have tried it as well. Maybe the next version will work better but for now hardcore people just really don't care.Deny it all you like but lackluster scores and/or sales for Kinect games are proof how much the gaming community are interested in Kinect. I mean look at this
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz...
http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...
It couldn't even sell a Sesame game, to children.Children who would ask their parents to buy anything with Elmo or Big Bird on it or in it and it didn't even break a million units and so close to the holidays.
Because it adds nothing. Move and the Wii add little as well, but the physical controller does add a level of immersion Kinect simply can't.
just grab a stick or something people have been doing it since the kinect first came out im surprised that barely anyone knows this it actully makes it work better too.
Already mods and shit with kinect being used with hardcore games. Most hardcore gamers dont care because MS isent really pushing hardcore honestly everyone has said once in there gameing lifetime that so and so would suck then ended up probably likeing it. MS just needs to flail a bunch of money towards hardcore titles and open up the marketplace to indie kinect titles seeing as indie developers are makeing the stuff Hardcore gamers want to see. I mean i would reather go through a dragon fight on skyrim with the skyrim kinect controlls and addition of voice commands then sit on the couch for 4 hours, hardcore can be done on kinect and until its done right doing all the usual things that appeal to hardcore gamers with kinect controls that bring out the usual controller controls of the game once this is done hardcore gamers will start to soften up.
Who published the report saying hardcore gamers don't own a Kinect or like them? I personally don't believe there is a such thing as a hardcore or casual gamer.
At the end of the day there are just gamers to me, some just might enjoy a different genre or different game than you might. I'd like to know who's research went into finding out if so called "hardcore" gamers have a Kinect or use it.
I consider myself to be a gamer, I enjoy Gears, Halo, Forza, Fable, Call Of Duty, Battlefield, Batman, Skyrim, GTA and a ton of other so called "hardcore" games. At the same time I've enjoyed a lot for Kinect like Gunstinger, Haunt, Rise Of Nightmares, Kinect Sports, Dance Central, Child Of Eden, Kinect Rush and even Star Wars was fun for me.
I think its all relative, I do see a ton of trolling in this article though, which is always fun to breeze through because everyone loves a bunch of ignorant comments from people who don't own a Kinect and haven't played any Kinect games.
Stay classy N4G.
"I personally don't believe there is a such thing as a hardcore or casual gamer."
Course there is....don't be silly
If someone came up to me who plays on games like Cooking Mama/Wii Fit/Any dance game and told me they are a gamer just like me I would want to punch them in the face. I don't want to be associated in the same "Gamer" group as someone who plays on crappy casual games, in my opinion they aren't gamers they are just people playing on games here and there to either pass the time, people who have been suckered into advertising/hype or because they think it's the "in" thing to do....having no real passion for gaming whats so ever and that is something casual gamers do not have.....a REAL interest in gaming
Would you really want them to be called gamers aswell like yourself, someone who actually does have a real interest in games...I wouldn't
So what if I play Dance Central and God of War? What does that make me. I could care less what category I'm put in. I just game to have fun.
It sounds like you just don't want to call them gamers.
They have given up their time to play a game and you call it passionless...
So what dose define a "hardcore" gamer, by the way?
I guess we'll agree to disagree. A gamer is a gamer, just look at the official definition.
Gamer,
noun:
A person who plays games, especially computer or video games.
Cant really make it much clearer than that. I think people just try to label these things to continue pointless arguments like this or to feel better about themselves when it comes to gaming.
The bottom line is that we all just play video games and there is nothing hardcore about it. I think people who play shooters can play Kinect and people who play handhelds can play RPG's.
Why try to demean fellow gamers with bogus labels?
There's a definite difference.
If you look at a sports car and a sedan, they're decidedly different. They serve some similar purposes, but also some different ones. Both are for traveling, but while one is designed with performance in mind, the other is designed more around ease of use and accessibility.
Of course, there are sport sedans that straddle the line, like the Cadillac CTS-V. And you can stuff a sedan's worth of people into some sports cars, or make the performance of your sedan more sport, too. But most cars either fit into one category or the other.
It's the same with gamers. I consider myself a hardcore gamer. That's not to say that I've never played Angry Birds, used a Wii, or danced in front of a Kinect; I've done all those things. But I spend the majority of my gaming time playing core titles in core genres: Persona, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, etc.
And it's not just about dedicating time, but also the type of game you play, and the importance you place on gaming. Is it just something to pass the time, or does it matter to you? Again, you can straddle the line, but most people fall into one category or the other. If gaming is any sort of deal to you, then you're part of the core; if you've got specific genres you prefer, and specific developers and systems you like, you're on the hardcore side.
But if you ONLY play to pass time, and don't think much of gaming beyond the little bits of enjoyment you can get here or there; if your library consists primarily of apps on your iPhone and Just Dance, you're a casual.
It's really not that hard to figure out. Like the difference between an amateur and a pro in pretty much anything. One devotes far more time and attention to a given field than the other(and don't forget the semi-pros in the middle).
(Edited for errors.)
I haven't used Kinect but my best bet is the same reason most enthusiasts didn't like the Wii; standard controls. Most gamers play gsmes to relax not move around a lot. The wii's best gsmes are the ones that didnt require you to get off the couch. The wii's gimmick has a type of control st least. Kinect is like playing naked to a gamer (no controller)
Because there are no "hardcore" games made for Kinect?
Because Microsoft only advertises the to the casuals?
Because "hardcore" gamers aren't stupid enough to waste $150 on an add-on so late into the generation?
Let me take a crack at this.
Why isn't Kinect connecting with hardcore gamers?
Buttons, input, lacking 1 to 1 ratio, games on rails because of the previous listed. Am I getting close?
Seriously, is this article for real? Kinect is a casual magnet and MS is marketing as such. Nothing but smoke and mirrors/ dog and pony show. Wishful thinking and pipe dreams is what MS is selling with Kinect. Not games, especially not "hardcore/core audience" games.
Because it offers no experience any more engaging than those on the Wii and PS3 Move.
Because Microsoft is secretly watching you with Kinect and the smart hardcore owners know this.
sell it then, why did u even buy it if your not gonna use it? plenty of games on the ps3 support move from lbp to killzone 3
If it's any company that breaches your privacy without you knowing about it, it's Microsoft.
I think Kinect owners are a party of lab mice used by Microsoft in their study of kinection and being kinnected all the time.
I love hardcore games and I also enjoy casual games. Why can't people enjoy both?
I use to have a issue with different type of games. I now just say they are games.
there is a difference between casual and kinect. kinect = casual, casual =/= kinect
How about Kinect Jackass , get the user to inflict pain on their fellow player , should get the hardcore going.
or the tech doesn't do anything but broad body actions. it needs a wiimote to be complete. right now, the best games are dance games
This is like saying, would I rather play air guitar or with an actual guitar.
as a wise man once said
"I am not the controller. Im a human fucking being. I dont want to be the controller, so get that shit out of my face."
that pretty much sums it up. gaming without a controller is a patently terrible idea. end of story.
it pretty much eliminates every major genre of hardcore games besides rail shooters. The kinect is inherently incompatible with hardcore gaming.
Hardcore = Couchcore that's the problem haha
I think it works better not as a completely new controller but as an extension of the console to the player, like Mass Effect was trying to do, I'd just like to see menus being controlled with the hands OR the controller and being able to change between them, voice recognition works pretty well too, but the delay is another problem, the camera still feels laggy.
Kinect isn't bad, it just doesn't have games that appeal to the hardcore crowd.
Despite this, I'm a fairly hardcore gamer that likes to play shooters and realistic racing games/driving simulators, but I can enjoy a freindly game of Kinect Bowling/Darts/Football with friends or family anytime.
Forza Motorsport 4's Kinect implementation was pretty cool, I must admit. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's looks even cooler! :-D
games... obviously... once they think up a good gaming application then it'll start getting used, right now its just a $150 dance game thing
Its funny how Microsoft is all of a sudden in the motion control business, when a few years ago Bill Gates slam motion controller gaming!!! Claiming that its not always accurate, and prefer a traditional controller.
http://www.play.tm/news/108...
Boom 2010 comes now the rise of Kinect LOL!!! What hippocrates.
I just bought a Kinect and must say that I was a hold out for along time. What sold me was a price drop from a $149.00 to $89.00 plus I had a $10 gift card. My kinect also game with 3 games.
The main game I bought it for was Tiger Golf 2013 and Ghost recon future solider. I must say that the games and demos that I have tried have worked VERY well.
Its a shame that the software makers don't take advantage of the power of the Kinect( and now after seeing this Gears of War project canceled really makes me wonder!)
I remember the sony PS2 tried something like the kinect,but didn't support it. Lets hope that MS doesn't let the Kinect suffer the same fate...like it did with the add on and exspensive HD disk drive!
What power of kinect? It has no onboard processor, it did at one point before launch but was pulled to cut costs done. Your referring to the eye toy it was a very niche market.
Ms advertised it as replacing the controller for gaming, and it didn't. I would not be the least bit surprised if it pulls more time as a web camera for chatting than used for gaming.
The sad part is the only thing the kinect camera is good for is the Kinect video chat. It won't work as a still camera. I'm glad I kept the xbox live vision.Even then to use the live vision ,I will have to disconnect the kinect.
By me holding out on the kinect you can see that I wasn't sold on at its launch.There are some good kinect titles out there,although some are very hard to find( Brunswick championship bowling and Rapala Kincet fishing) and others that will never see the light of day like the Gears-o-war title mentioned in this story and Heavy Fire Afghanistan.
With that said ,it makes the kinects appeal to hardcore gamers a VERY hard sell as its future doesn't look all that great!
Thanks for your input and reply.
Games don't really appeal to them. Kinect Star Wars was promising until they showed the demo at e3 and than final version was exactly like most people thought on rails pretty much with really bad controls. Now only game even worth giving the hardcore crowd look at is the new game from Crytek Ryse. Ryse could end up like Kinect Star Wars since the trailer was all pre-render big time. On quick note why hasn't Lucas Art given PS Move a chance with a Stars Wars game. Ps Move is actual 1:1 and the controller would feel more like light-saber
I didn't get into the Wii. I won't get into Move or Kinect. I'm too old and stubborn to play my games a different way.
Seriously, the non-controller approach to gaming seems more geared to the casual market. Getting the hardcore players to adopt this system will take a fantastic, non-casual game to draw the players in. As of right now, there isn't. I know that a lot of games out there have the "better with Kinect" blurb on the box, but saying it does not make the players want to use it. It all comes down to the games, like it always does. If the most popular games for Kinect, or any of the other alternate control schemes, are casual, casual is where it will stay.
The problem with all motion control devices is that they are all limited in what they can achieve.
You can get more variant gaming types using a controller which is why the controller will remain king.
To put it simple
Kinect does nothing in the game for me, it only get worse by you simply is on a train. You never interact or walk by yourself in a open 3d space at all
And that so called "Core For Kinect" is bullshit
Because Kinect was nothing more then a idea to take Wii users away from Nintendo.
Other then that, no one really cares about kinect or really uses it for hardcore gaming.
LMFAO did people actually think that no controller would be a better option than Wiimote/MOVE for hardcore games?
Let me see a kinect user shoot from the hip in an instant with no buttons or analog stick to turn.
Sure, kinect is better at tracking your head and body for lean etc but without wiimote/move/controller its just a cam for chatting.
gunstringer or whatever is not an argument either. You wave your hand it auto locks the targets and you shoot but not individually you do whatever movement and it auto shoots the locked on targets. LMFAO and people compare that to hardcore shooters?
Metroid Prime for wii. socom 4, resistance 3, killzone 3, mag, counter stike for sony. Against what exactly for the 360 in the hardcore shooter department?
joy ride and a dancing game against infamous 2, under siege RTS, heavy rain. come on people.
At best you can get kinect to read your controller movements, move left right up down, ms tried to trick people during that circus show where they had the kid on the couch suspended in the air appear like he was controlling the game Kameo with a 360 controller using motion for kinect.. not only was it just for show, but I would love to see the sixaxis haters eat crow.
voice commands. go play socom on the ps2, been there done that, ms could have done voice commands with their headsets included in every 360.
controlling movies is dumb too. half way through using kinect to watch a movie the 360 told me to pick up the controller to continue, then why bother? also in the time it takes to recognize my hand I could pick up my remote and use it.
kinect is a sham. unless your a girl that likes to dance, but people have been doing this since music videos came to tv, now with points.
Because we were not meant to kinect with it :) I do enjoy getting a good workout however :)
Because pure Kinect games suck and MOST people don't think it offers enough to warrant a purchase for what it brings to the table for games like Mass Effect, etc.
Because core gamers play for challenges. Kinect offers no challenge. Those who believe in it are simple minds cheated by Microsoft's advertising bullcrap.
hardcore gamers... the term makes me laugh inside. wtf is a hardcore gamer? a gamer who games atleast 10 hours a day neglecting things like personal hygiene? Ya thats hardcore gaming!
Gears of War: Exile, possibly the rumored Gears of War Kinect title, has been cancelled. Cliff Bleszinski, the Epic Games design director, says that the rumored Kinect title is no longer in development.
"Let's just bury the hatchet now," Bleszinski said. "Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can't give any details about that has since been cancelled."
Trademarks for the game were spotted in January 2011, and Xbox 360 World Magazine said the title was to be officially unveiled at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Other than that, not much was known about the project.
Thank God... As much as I love GEOW series, a kinect spin off would have dented the reputation of Great series... GEOW series is for Hardcore gamers with alot of blood and gore... Kinect is for casual so basically they would axed blood and all the good stuff we love about the series, and they would have put hearts and ponies...lol...
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Just because Kinect itself is aimed at casual gamers, doesn't mean all the games are. Rise of Nightmares (Terrible game BTW) had tons of blood, gore and even partial nudity. Epic would NEVER let anything close to that happen with Gears of War. Not saying a Gears Kinect game would turn out well, but it certainly wouldn't have hearts and ponies.
Couldn't agree more, they realized it wouldn't be the best idea to introduce GoW to Kinect.
“Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can’t give any details about that has since been cancelled.”
“Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can’t give any details about because we could not find a way to make Kinect working with a hardcore title and I can' t talk about ... oops!!"
Just joking, maybe they are so much focused on the new MS hardware and the new engine that they had to choose where put their resources. Maybe.
Thing is I would have bought it since gears was the game which made me jump into this gen. Before gears 1 there wasnt anything special about the xbox 360.
Everyone knows how much of a Gears of War fanboy I've been since the release date of the original and hearing that this WAS a Kinect game and has been cancelled is a huge relief. Epic are doing a fantastic job of supporting Gears of War 3 and I want them to continue to do so and focus efforts on developing a sequel for the next generation Xbox if they insist on continuing the franchise...
Oh well, it sounded like it would've been a boring/gimmicky spin off and not a fully realized title anyways.
Even Epic realizes how bad Kinect is. Face it people it is a failure and is not deserving of your attention.
He never says it was a Kinect game. That was all just rumor on everyone else' part. They are probably busy working on a straight up Gears sequel or prequel.
I actually think they could have added some Kinect elements to Gears 3, the submarine part, which is totally on rails, could have easily been useable with Kinect. Voice controls and a ton of other things could be implemented.
I know Cliffy B likes Kinect a lot, but there is no evidence that this was a Kinect title in the least.
It was very likely to be a Kinect title. It was believed to be an on-rails, Kinect controlled shooter in the Gears universe.
And the next PlayStation is believed to lock out used games and include a Kinect like sensor as well.
Anyone can speculate, doesn't make it right.
Bottom line is that we heard nothing of the actual game, so all we have is rumor. Now that it is cancelled we have and will have no idea.
Also, I heard the Kinect rumors as well, but never did I hear "on rails" in any mention of those rumors. It'd be easy enough to do the cover based combat without it being on rails. Rise Of Nightmares, Haunt and even Kinect Rush have proven that its possible.
Hopefully all this means is a next gen Gears is taking center stage and will be coming for the 720.
Take it as you will. I recall an anonymous source claimed that some Gears Kinect project was in development, which was probably Exile. It's probably still on the internet, feel free to look around. I speculated carefully, but I respect what you feel.
Kinect ogame or full prequel im still buying this and gears 3
Pew pew pew pew...
And how do you active reload a shotgun with kineckt? Air stroking?
Based on NO info from Epic games at all, Lets look at what its not rather than what it is.
- Its not on PS3
- Its not going to be FREE
Whatever it is I want it.
