Microsoft E3 Conference 2011

Is the movement in all Kinect based games on autopilot, really? That's only gonna make everything even more linear...

 

[Silenti]

Star Wars "Redefining On Rails" Kinect

I'm not sure you can even be hurt.

 

[borowki]

Star Wars on Kinect somehow seems incredibly lame...

 

[Butta]

I hate to say it... but this game would have actually worked better with the move. It would have been perfect with Move + Subcontroller.

It will never happen now.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

MS is making sure Kinect sells millions !

 

[RobertR1]

Kids will eat this shit up.

 

[Nesh]

I hate to say it... but this game would have actually worked better with the move. It would have been perfect with Move + Subcontroller.

It will never happen now.

Couldnt agree more

 

[Silenti]

They may eat up the Cookie Monster stuff, if they are under 6 or so, don't see the Disney bit doing very well. Have to admit though, you got Disney and Cookie Monster as excluisives? That's impressive, wonder how much MS paid for that.

 

[Butta]

I suspect no new console for a very long time... MS seems to have invested everything into Kinect!

 

[Silenti]

Cool. Can it make me thinner?

Damn that is impressive, Custom, camera captured texture and shape?

Depth? 3D drawing? Umm, impressive, most impressive.

I would have to agree with you on that one, although since I don't own a PS3, I suppose I'm still kinda glad it's on the XBox

 

[ShadowRunner]

Not really finger tracking, but the 3d effect was cool.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

That 3D drawing looked cool !

 

[bkilian]

Gotta say the voice control is fairly impressive. I do wonder how many titles are voice recognized though. Seems like a huge database, maybe done by sending the voice up to MS rather than locally.

The Bing voice search is cloud based. And yes, the database is _huge_.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Will we see HL3 ????

 

[Silenti]

The crowd seems really subdued. Must be worse in person.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

It's impressive, but seriously, what the hell is this good for?
Although I imagine there's gonna be a lot of new innovative stuff, I wonder if they can bring the enthusiast dev community into their circles.

They're gonna sell a gazillion X360+Kinect combos to families with kids, on the other hand.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

 

[Silenti]

Wow. Kinect Sports 2 looks worse. Wonder how much they had to pay those 2 guys. This PC is going back and forth between "dayum" and face palming.

 

[habbe]

what's the deal with "live tv" ?. is it on demand or just live ?.
