Was The Microsoft Kinect Show Live Or Pre-Recorded?

Was there something fishy going down at the MS extravagant show for the reveal of one gaming top pieces of discussion. Could it have been a stuff by Microsoft to make the show the way they did. With the general feeling of the show being disappointment, and lack of enthusiasm, there is still some hope as the product itself still has some great potential.

Giant Bomb said it was half and half. Half live and half pre-recorded. If you are confident in your product, you should be confident in showing it off, not halfway doing it.

The Avatar revealing Kinetic and Star Wars were surely pre-rendered. Actors didn't match up well with what was on the screen. I know they wanted to exclude 'bottom of avatar's shoe' disasters from happening again but c'mon. I don't know what to think but it was poor :/

El Botto5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

If they cant get rid of that after a year, its never gonna be rid of.

And if a product cant even do something without your avatar going spazztastic, than its a flop and shouldnt be bought in the first place.

So when they are prerecording shows to suck you into buying it, they are basically just LYING to you.

But than again, bots are abused people and are used to being used by Microsoft. If thats your game, than go ahead and find the next excuse.

I think I lost track of the amount of excuses already. The latest being: "Microsoft is going to show it on MTV, thats how confident they are"

Its not even a LIVE show. The LIVE show disappointed, who wants to be the tv showing will differ completely from the LIVE showing by cutting it out the bad portions and using CGI to make it look good for the public?

Hahaha

Ummm..what? It had to be live at some point for it to be Pre-Recorded sooo????

EDIT: Oh I see what they're saying now. I agree with the above. I guarantee Sony will be 100% live with the Move.

Godmars2905479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

Sony's going to have demo reel, even if its just to show off upcoming titles.

Though seeing some leaked stuff from the Natal event, on a large teletran screen, that has to be stagged. As part of the performance.

dizzleK5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

the fact that it even has to be questioned is very telling, maybe the media is coming to it's senses.

say what you will about move but at least it was demoed live on stage and actual people used it, warts and all. they didn't need a circus sideshow, "man behind the curtain" shenanigans or a media blackout.

if the shenanigans continue, the kinect is a non-functioning p.o.s. period.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

Wait until he hears about Star Citizen...

Dear God it's been 4 years since infinite and no official update on anything lol.

Tacoboto4d ago

No official update on anything?

They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite

The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.

GamerRN4d ago

I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again

Tacoboto4d ago

Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...

The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.

InUrFoxHole4d ago

Gotta agree. Infinite felt like halo.

Profchaos4d ago

Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.

And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.

Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.

RaidenBlack4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.

PhillyDonJawn4d ago

Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh

--Onilink--4d ago

Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo

Profchaos4d ago

I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline

Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks

darthv724d ago

This will likely come to PS5 at the same time. 25 years of XB.... shared with PS.

Obscure_Observer4d ago

It´s gonna be among best sellers on PS Store next year regardless.

raWfodog4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
