Lol if going from Mouse keyboard to control pad was not enough, this takes the cake. FPS on Kinect can only happen in a gimped way.

Agent-864844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

Gimped is an understatement. What I saw was not even playable to me. People really need to give it up. Kinect will not work with FPS, period. Not without some kind of supplemental controller. And, I have to ask the question why anyone would want a Kinect FPS? The KB/M and controller do them perfectly now. Why replace that with inaccurate, laggy controls?

And wasn't one of the selling points of Kinect was controllers were just too difficult for casual gamers to figure out? Now they're replacing buttons and keystrokes to memorize (which are pretty standardized across most shooters) with a whole list of gestures to memorize in order to do routine things like reload or switch weapons. How is that making it easier for a casual gamer?

Army_of_Darkness4844d ago

thats a lot of zombie bitch smacking!

shoddy4844d ago

Kinect make an awsome game into a peace of sh1t.

mmPete4844d ago

It's cool but....why?
It's so useless....

davekaos4844d ago

If this is the future of FPS games then please someone kill me now.

Well done to the guy and all but why would you play a fps that gimped?

Kran4844d ago

Thats an interesting concept. I was wondering how a character would move about with kinect. Putting a foot forward to move forward and a foot behind to move back. Interesting concept. I applaud this guy. He's figured out movement :D

shoddy4844d ago

to make it work well is the hard part and the most impotant part.

this is a downgrade controll for FPS.

Kran4844d ago

I agree. I own a kinect, and even I agree that so far, FPS wouldnt work well. But this is a start.

Again, Kinect isnt replacing the controller, its just an alternative.

"I'll stick to my controller" some say. Good for you. So will I. But i bet there are some who may find this concept more fun. Maybe.

Blaze9294844d ago

Not bad. Potential is definitely there

Agent-864844d ago

Not bad? Are you serious? What I saw was horrible and looked like a complete chore to control a FPS. No way Kinect will ever replace KB/M or a controller for FPS games.

Blaze9294844d ago

Who said anything about replacing? No one is forcing this option on you. Another alternative is still another alternative. Stop crying. Damn.

Spitfire_Riggz4844d ago

Just like the Move will never replace the trusty Dualshock, but it is a fun OPTION.

Kon4844d ago

It is an option, stop complaining.

Agent-864844d ago

@Blaze929, Spitfire_Riggz and Kon. In order for it to be an alternative or option, it needs to be viable. This is just not viable. Did you really watch the video? It's almost as bad as that horrible Deca Sports Paintball game. Who would want to play an FPS like this? You? Then, by all means, have at it.

shoddy4844d ago

shouldn't even bother trying to make Kinect hadcore.

look irratating.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit33d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead33d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica32d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL32d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit32d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper32d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica31d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer33d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit33d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer33d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit32d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218333d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer33d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218332d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper32d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal33d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood33d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218332d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde33d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist143d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja142d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast143d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot144d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide143d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar143d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
