Leaked Video Shows Ubisoft's Fighter Within On Kinect

Sixthaxis: There appears to be some lag between player input and the actions on the screen. Whether this is down to the Kinect, or if it is to do with the game’s coding is hard to tell. This does seem to confirm the game will be an Xbox One exclusive though.

stop posting this already. i nearly died in laughter when i saw this on /v/

Serious, serious lag.

[PeaSFor]

Better with Kinect.

[LostDjinn]

Fist time I've seen it and it's all win (just for the wrong reasons).
GOTY! I'm callin' it.

[creatchee]

Ughgh. Looks terrible. Certainly not a good showcase for Kinect.

[Thatguy-310]

Ooooookayyyy O.o

The future of gaming...

If these games are aimed at kids, they should try to get some to demo the games or something of the like.

Otherwise, I have no clue how these women are controlling the characters to make it look like they are deciding on a cross, jab, uppercut, or kick (their feet aren't even moving....). So, looks like it's just pre-canned actions based on how much you move your arms around.

[I_am_Batman]

I don't know who came up with the idea that a motion controlled fighting game could be any good. Even if it would work 100% right and took your movements without lag and be super precise it would still be a bad idea.

[rainslacker]

Where was this 1 to 1 gaming the guy mentioned. All I saw was lag, and on screen movements that didn't match what the player was doing 90% of the time. Jesus, the current Kinect is better than this.

Also, if this isn't flailing in from of the TV then I don't know what is.

They've been working on this game for 2 years?

Future of gaming my a**

[Gazondaily]

Yeah this looks terrible. The so-called 1 to 1 gaming seems like a farce, we as far as Ubisoft's efforts are concerned anyway.

[n4rc]

devils advocate here..

they are flailing their arms.. and its doesnt look like its working very well... maybe its supposed to be played like a normal human fighting..

just saying.. im not going to base my opinion off a couple girls on meth trying to play a fighting game in the dark.. lol

[rainslacker]

These were people provided by ubisoft to demonstrate the game. The fact they knew how to pull off those moves is indication of that. They were too good at playing the game...which is really scary considering how bad this game would be to a beginner. And I thought the light available in the room didn't matter with this Kinect.

I agree that if they played it like a normal person fighting it wouldn't have been quite so embarrassing, but that doesn't really explain away the lack of 1 to 1 motion or the extremely laggy input. 1 to 1, at least by my definition, is when a person performs a task in front of the camera, that motion is replicated on screen. No lag to me means that when I do something in front of the camera, it doesn't register a couple seconds later.

This isn't a motion based fighting sim. It's a glorified QTE fest with motion controls. Just because there's no on screen indicator doesn't change that fact. The players were practically motionless except while flailing their hands around, yet they were kicking, performing complex counters, and jumping off poles.

This game is a joke of an example of the future of motion gaming. There is shovelware now that is already better than this.

This is what I've been telling Kinect supporters for the last couple months. Before you go and start saying how the new Kinect is so awesome, maybe ask for a little proof. Even the Kinect Sports video showed apparent lag...and that's a problem as it was a PR video and highly polished/controlled.

[GarrusVakarian]

This again?

Oh ok, i could do with another laugh.

[B-radical]

Id maybe play this single player......maybe......if it came on a demo disc....

[pompombrum]

The future of gaming... LMFAO!

[Wizziokid]

Why has this been approved again?

[Christopher]

Old video was taken down and the submission failed due to that.

[Z501]

inb4 edonus says "they're playing it wrong" smh

[rainslacker]

I'm sure he's an expert on the game by now. Apparently he's the only person in the world that knows how to use Kinect properly.

As much as I enjoy watching people act like spastic chipmunks, this is just sad to be part of the future of gaming. Is this really what MS fans are looking forward to?

Edit: You know what's funny. This video is going to be linked for now until the end of next gen to counteract all the "Kinect is awesome and the future" arguments.

[pyramidshead]

LOL :x

[plmkoh]

I understood the N4G reference, bubble for you.

[JetsFool3500]

Lol this is worse then wii boxing

[mac_sparrow]

I was positive about the Fifa bundle, that's added value, but we're supposed to believe this technology is worth $100-$150 that keeps getting thrown at us?

What's the finishing move, a fit?

[magzter]

I played a bad PC game yesterday, so I decided to discount PC gaming entirely because 1 developer made a terrible game.

[rainslacker]

Here's the thing. We've yet to see a good game for it. Any features shown so far don't warrant a $100-150 price tag.

I'm sure there are devs that can do better than this, but this is the first game we've seen on the new Kinect, and it's the exact same thing we have now. In fact it's worse in some ways.

Possibly an early build, but the spokesman said they've been working on this for two years. He was describing stuff going on on screen that wasn't represented in the video.

If MS wants us to stop being skeptical, then they should give us a reason to be impressed. How come I don't see MS fans asking for the same thing? They're the ones spending the money. I'd assume they'd want to know that what they're spending money on is worth the asking price.

[mac_sparrow]

Good for you, this isn't what I've done. I've played on Kinect and was unimpressed as it failed to meet even basic standards of controllability, much less than was advertised too.

Now the revised version comes out, with loftier promises and is shown to suffer the same faults. Personally, I think that using the first system and seeing its faults replicated in the revision does not warrant a forced expenditure, but hey I have the capacity to analyse and not make snap judgments.

[Baka-akaB]

Sure , except there are otherwise and alternative good pc games all year long .

Dance stuff excellence and Kinect sports aside , people kept waiting for better kinect stuff , and it still aint there .

it might happens , i'm not holding my breath for it , and regardless the thing will sell , but it's getting ridiculous

[stage88]

This is horrendous.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[r21]

I laughed. And am now crying considering the trailer. Ah well, my own fault for expecting something like the Fighter Within trailer.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Hooooly crap that was hilarious. That was awful. And I had a feeling it was going to be. It's like.. Fighters Uncaged 2.

Sad.

EDIT: The funny thing is, yesterday, some of you guys were actually like "This is what Kinect needs", "It'll be responsive", etc. I don't see ANYONE defending this crap, lmao.

[MRMagoo123]

hey give it a lil while lol we will have the usual suspects in here some time i guess, unless they are hiding lol. where are you JOY, Edonus and the other kinect is the future guys ?

[JunioRS101]

Nah, the responsible thing to do here is give an initial reactionary response, turn blindly to any progress it makes in the future, and continue to endorse the original opinion.

[Baka-akaB]

This is a whole new level of shitty . Even if they fixed the lag it looks awkward and not something i'd find fun to play anyway ... so i pass

[JunioRS101]

This is literally garbage bad kid randy n00b status.

Go home Fighter Within you're drunk.

[gamewizard99]

Hahahahaha, it must be the power of the cloud that's making it lag.

[zamesbond007]

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAW

[NeloAnjelo]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[sprinterboy]

Was kinda hoping kinnect2 was going to be better than k1, but that's the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen.

[evilbart]

Had to stop the video half way through, what an embarressment

[grassyknoll]

This is what Kinect 2 truly offers. False promises, just like the first. Microsoft are truly gonna have to work hard to fool people again.

[DonFreezer]

It looks like crap. But doesn't change the fact that Xbox One is a Day One purchase for a lot of gamers.

[Bhuahahaha]

kinect and fighting genre dont go well together

[Ron_Danger]

Kinect and gaming don't go well together.

[Biohazard8860]

No just no. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[IcicleTrepan]

that is disapointing

[MRMagoo123]

Worst game evaaaaaaa. Everyone buy an xbone the future in motion game play is here lmfao.

In all honesty with no trolling in the next comment , i have yet to see anything work well via kinect 2.0 in demos of what it can do.

[Niv]

Any sexual thought flew out the window.

[jensen86]

that looked shit. it didnt even hit wen they were punchin. then itd do moves by its self wen they wernt even doin shit. n its jus another reason i dont want xbox one or kinect

[Redempteur]

Thank you guys for the laugh.

i guess teh difference is that now kinect can handle 2 players at once even if it's still unresponsive, silly , lacking any sort of deep fighting mecanics.

i guess marketing will do the rest .

Me ? i'll wait for Ultra strete fighter 4 , blazblue CF , the new guilty gear or anything else really instead of playing this crap.

[ape007]

looks cheap and corny as hell, ms u gotta have a kinectless xbox one

[MasterCornholio]

Why are people happy that the consoles comes with Kinect?

It looks horrible in my opinion and Microsoft should have left it optional like the first camera.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

LOL. ... that just looks horrid. Didnt Ubisoft make another fighter for kinect 1 that was just as bad?

[n4rc]

it doesnt help that you have a couple girls trying to play a fighting game... it might work well if you actually play it properly..

not to mention its very dark (they said it works in the dark, not how well) and god knows whats going on in the background

also the blame can be put on the game, not solely on kinect

so many factors that people never look into... its always easier to flame away... im not saying its going to be perfect.. but your going to base all your opinions off one poorly presented demo of one game?

[Ron_Danger]

Unless you've invested millions in the development of Kinnect 2.0, you should not be this defensive about it. You really thought you'd get a 1:1 fighter with Kinnect 2.0?!

Look at the bright side, you can have Kinnect 2.0 scan you in and make a cartoonish version of yourself that looks nothing like you!!

[FITgamer]

Sexist much? First part of your comment was not needed. I wish you could come to my gym, there our few girls here im sure could kick your ass.

[GryestOfBluSkies]

that fighting game for kinect looks fun to play.

said no one ever.

[Npugz7]

Looks so retarted!! looks like they are having seizures!!! lol

I can help but remember the horrible times I had with friends and family playing Wii Boxing.

Wow.............looks like something a 10 year old would enjoy. Not gonna lie it looks quite shitty.
