Kinect Sports Rivals Review | gamrReview

gamrReview's Mathew Miller: "Is this Kinect’s killer app? No, but it feels like a small step in the right direction. Most of the games are enjoyable and work well. This is the best Kinect game on the market right now, and although that's not really saying much, hopefully Rare and other developers will use this as something to build off of."

When will they get an app that actually makes the kinect worth owning?

guitarded773664d ago

Kinect has been around long enough for you to know the answer to that one. If you haven't seen anything you like yet, I wouldn't expect too much. Personally (as a Kinect owner), I think the body as a controller is far too limiting. Maybe with VR coming into the picture, there will be something interesting, but I'm sure there will be a lot of bugs to work out moving into this new hove VR fad.

MRMagoo1233664d ago

you would think that considering they had a whole gen on the 360 with it someone could make a decent game for it but alas its all shovel ware.

Machina3664d ago

Dance Central was by all reports pretty great (not my cup of tea, but objectively speaking I can see that it's good). Other than that... yeah, mostly shovelware.

Gazondaily3664d ago

A whole gen? The Kinect for the 360 was out late in the console's lifecycle.

Also, things are different now that the Kinect is included in the hardware and is a much more integral part of the OS. SO there is hope for games yet.

What's happened to PS MOVE btw? That's been completely neglected.

@ Septic

"What's happened to PS MOVE btw? That's been completely neglected."

As nobody has mentioned the PS Move, I don't think anybody here cares for it either.

So what's your point?

HurtfulTimez3664d ago

At least the move worked as it should, the move is 100% millimetre accurate. I play games on my ps3 still with it and its ps4 compatible

@Wh15ky
His point was "Bu-but Sony Too™!"

Better neglected than shoved down our throats as a UI tool that plays crappy games.

Gazondaily3663d ago

@Silent

"His point was "Bu-but Sony Too™!" "

Ah trust you to come out with such a mature response. Well done.

I always preferred the MOVE to the Kinect and I've said it on here before too. But my point is this; is MOVE dead in the water too?

"Better neglected than shoved down our throats as a UI tool that plays crappy games."

Ah yeah; if only we knew it would get neglected that year when Sony devoted a huge chunk of its time at E3 on it.

But Kinect works brilliantly as a UI tool and games have only started to be released for it so how why jump the gun?

MasterCornholio3663d ago

"What's happened to PS MOVE btw? That's been completely neglected."

Sony saw that nobody wanted it so they excluded it from the PS4. However with Kinect Microsoft ignored the people who didn't want the camera and decided to include the XB1 with it.

In conclusion Sony listened to consumers and Microsoft didn't.

Hicken3663d ago

The Move is being used with Morpheus.

Regardless, it was and is a cheaper, more precise motion gaming device than Kinect. Sony did the smart thing by keeping it as an option and not forcing it upon us, and I doubt there's a gamer out there who was not aware of this and who does not appreciate that it didn't behind mandatory.

Kinect sports rivals, you beauty!

patrik243663d ago

it sits at very good 61 on metacritic http://www.metacritic.com/g...

soon it will be on par with knack.

infectedaztec3663d ago

I played the demo and its quote fun. If I'm bored and need to do something with somebody who doesn't game its a perfect time killer.

I think kinect has a good future. The 2 games that excite me are FRU and D4.

I think FRU especially will show the value of the hardware. Such a simple game that looks great!

15 Xbox Games With Absolutely Horrible Sequels

When an original game becomes a hit, it can be difficult to re-configure its secret sauce into an equally enjoyable sequel.

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

4Sh0w2519d ago (Edited 2519d ago )

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.

Christopher2519d ago

@4Show: Uh... going to assume that's a comment intended for someone else.

spicelicka2519d ago

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.

ninsigma2519d ago

Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.

spicelicka2518d ago

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.

Kingthrash3602519d ago

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

brich2332519d ago

Compared to Halo 4, Halo 5's story was trash and not memorable at all.

ninsigma2518d ago

That's not really saying much though cuz that was pretty bad as well.

ninsigma2518d ago

Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.

And another article with 15 items from this website *shakes head*

MadLad2519d ago

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.

rlow12518d ago

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.
