I watched the Fighter Within demo and it looked like another case of gestures crammed atop a so-so fighting game that doesn’t need them (and didn’t seem to register them terribly well) than something really revelatory. I guess that’s what I specifically want — a game that feels like an experience I couldn’t have without this thing. I don’t necessarily mind that it’s bundled with the system, but if we’re all on the hook for buying it, I just want to understand why I should be excited by it. So far it’s the same old potential, same old games and same old one-day-you’ll-see talk, and I’m getting serious Deja Vu after getting suckered by the first Kinect three years ago.

Don’t forget that many other games will integrate Kinect commands to enhance the experience. That doesn’t make them “kinect games”.

LikeLike

That’s fine, but nothing a headset shouldn’t be able to accomplish (and accomplish much better than barking a command across the room). I understand lots of games will use Kinect — what I’m looking for are games that cannot exist without it.

Yeah true, but I’m doing actually that in GTA online. ( shouting into my turtle beach headset to make the cashier give me the money faster )

You don’t need the Kinect for in game commands. Any headset will do.

I sold it on craigslist for 20 bucks lol That was all I could get. I agree it is good for those girly/kid games, but I just don’t want it. It’s like I go to a bar to get a beer, but the only way I can get it is to pay 10x the price because it comes with a mandatory pack of cigarettes.

Going to the gym requires travel, and if you want a trainer with that, it also requires an obnoxious and often arrogant individual yelling at you. Gyms also smell bad.

That all goes away if you have your own home workout routine, where you can exercise according to your own pace.

DD, voice recognition does not required large processing which is why it’s put into phones and has been for years. Games existed on the Xbox 360 using voice recognition before the Kinect even existed.

Only the motion would require the processing. I have a family member who use voice controlls on her PC because she is blind and she has wireless headset.

Of course, you closed your eyes. Just like all the kids were doing in 2010 when I told them they would not get any real games for that thing…. if you like fitness stuff, kids stuff or dance stuff… sure it will work for those… 95%+ of all other games this device was DOA a long time ago.

Now you can believe that or you don’t, now if you don’t just post us a video of this awesome game using this thing and we can settle this one and for all.

Actually that’s all your own opinion; and, by he looks of this thread, you’re trying really hard to enforce it through an awful lot of trolling.
I have two X360s – one with Kinect, one without. I don’t use the Kinect anymore, but it used to be great to keep in shape (Boxing – a fun way to keep fit). Now days my girlfriend’s kid sister uses it for Kinect Sports and Seasame St, but no one else uses it. I play games on my other 360, and there’s more than enough games to keep me entertained.
Point is, just because you don’t like it, there are others that do. Yours isn’t the only opinion out there. It’s arrogant to assume you’re completely right in your argument. Kinect actually made money, unlike some other Wii ripoff motion devices available…

It’s reason enough to cancel. My biggest reason to have pre-ordered in the first place was using voice command to navigate the interface, snap apps together and so on. Seeing that Kinect 2 is the same rubbish as Kinect 1 is a dealbreaker.

LikeLike

I am not trying to encourage you or discourage you. My only point is there are some things that can corrected and some things that can never work.

Voice commands is mostly a software limitation, which can be improved over time, if that is enough for you not to buy the system I have no problem with that…. I have no plans to buy one.

Trust me, I have yet to figure out what they are trying to do which is probably why one guy resigned.

LikeLike

that seems a pretty bad reason to buy a console in the first place. So know what, you have a choice to buy a console that will probably deliver the feature you want so much but may have some inconsistency at the beginning OR you can buy a console that doesnt have that feature and will never have it…

Of course, if you are in that “give me back the 100$ difference” group, then, you may think its a good reason.

I personally don’t make decision based on 1 opinion of a beta tester.

one big thing that differentiates xbox one from ps4 is the kinect. and microsoft made it a big selling point, so big that it has to let everyone have one, like it or not. ps4 has fewer games, but it has better hardware. and xbox one has superior technology.

now if this “superior technology” does not make kinect a lot better than the first generation one, it will be a deal breaker for some.

Nope. My keyboard & mouse work 100% correct all the time. These input methods have been perfected over the last decades. I’m not saying Kinect might not get to 100%, but it will take many decades.

LikeLike

Well that wasn’t really my point but I guess I’ll be more precise. Input doesn’t have to be 100% for it to be well accepted. Voice recognition won’t ever be 100% but it is widely accepted. I notice it on many automated phone systems (as an example). Also touch input isn’t 100% either (though it doesn’t tend to error either) yet is widely accepted.
