Kinect Games

They were tests/concept studies. I'm sure they'll end up with the consumer in some form or other. I expect the walking around the car bit to be part of the new Forza. The rest could be mini-game XBLA title, or challenges included in the full game. But who knows.

PGR 5 in forza X engine,believe.:rolleyes:
 
The real ads are available on xbox.com/kinect

Overview <---I know some wont believe it but lo and behold there are living room tables in front of the couch in multiple shots.
Games I like that the games video does what I asked previously which was to show the game, the people, and a combination of the two.
Entertainment
Get Started

EDIT: I have actually re-pre'd Kinect and also have pre'd a 250GB Bundle for my son for his birthday. I believe I have figured out how to make Kinect work with our upcoming projection system it will be unappealing to the eye until we swap out our fireplace but it will work.

Just out of curiousity how are you going to do it? I have a friend that's considering adding Kinect to his basement home theater. He even installed REAL theatre seats and an angled floor so people in the back don't have their view obstructed. And it also uses a projection system.

I don't believe someone with a dedicated room will have as many problems as me but here are my issue as they stand today.

Issue1: The screen will actually go in front of the drop which does not allow me to do wall mounting of the Kinect sensor. We are strongly considering changing out the current fireplace to a completely different style thus allowing the projector to be mounted on the drop ceiling/back wall and wall/shelf mounting Kinect just below the screens necessary drop.

Issue2: The biggest issue of all potentially; how long is the included power/data cable and how many extensions can be used before signal/gameplay degradation. The electronic components, save the sub, will be moving to the wall across from where the screen will be to be closer to the projector. As a frame of reference here (dark pic):

the doors from mold to mold measure 12.5' so that gives you an idea of just how much longer I would need the cable to be, even if we mounted the projector to the drop ceiling we are still looking at 15'+ and thats straight line sprawled across the middle of the room...no...

Thats my living room for better or worse. It looks a little different now the only changes are no more PS3 (no replacement), no more individual speakers (replaced with a DefTech SSA-50), and now the room is carpeted.

Pre-Ordered:
My Games list has shrunk if only because of the need to divert some money into the projector project and the fireplace project and we used most of the projector money for a car down payment...at least we like the car.

Nope, but thanks! It looked pretty good, but still not sure it's something I'll buy right away.

I like that there are mini-games in there with stuff like being able to throw lots of bowling balls, two at the same time etc. But I'm not at all convinced by the dodgeball and goalie stuff that highlights in advance where the ball is going to be. They're obviously putting a lot into this game, but where it matters for me, the depth of the gameplay, I so far haven't seen any. Of course, these games were never designed for me in the first place, so I doubt Microsoft is phased about that.
 
for those in the usa, target is dong a buy 2 get 1 free deal next week. So you should be able to get kinnect games. I imght do fable 3 , just dance and that work out game

Quit a nice hour long preview of 6 kinect games

Really cool are the kinectimals gave me a some memory flashback to freddy fish one of my favorite game franchises when i was a little kid. And the last 15 min of Dance central were pure gold if you ask me that game will sell kinect like a wild fire if people know about it.

Wow...it was awesome that they were having so much fun being so bad. I mean the Jungle Boogie moves...come on...have they never danced to the Casper Slide (or as non-chicagoans know it, the cha-cha slide).

Overall, I hated the preview with the green screen though.

Why did MS require the green screen to be used? At least that impression I got when they commented on "not being able to show but just the games, some weird thing that MS is asking for". Makes me suspect they want to hide the lag by editing the video afterwards.
 
Loved the Gamespot video. The green screen was jarring at first, but it became insignificant as the video progressed. Adventures looks OK, but I think it would have looked better had they shown Reflex Ridge & River Rush. Those are the min-games I more looking forward to. Now Kinectimals looked AWESOME! Kids are going to love it, but so does my animal loving wife. :D Joy Ride looked better than I expected. It has been probably the 1 first party title that I've been least excited about. I was more excited about it when it was a free title. Wished they hadn't made it a pay for Kinect title. The rest looked about what I expected. No big surprises there. Dance Central still looks to be the biggest launch title. Thanks for the link!

Actually MS didn't require the green screen. MS only required that they only show the games. They weren't allowed to show the dashboard or any of the other apps. If you watch any of the other Now Playing shows they use green screen there to. I think they did the Kinect show so they could show people dancing/moving etc. Regular games don't need to show that.

After seeing that last video I've put in my pre-order.

Going to start off with

Your fitness evolved
Dance Central (heh, going to try to relive my teens and early 20's when I lived in dance clubs)
EA Sports Active

I think I'll pick up Joyride and Kinectimals later in the holidays when my nieces and nephews come to visit. Joyride actually looked more fun than I thought it was going to be in the Gamespot video.

Apparently the kinectimals is with the stuffed animal is only bundled at launch. After that sells through the stuffed toys will be $20 bucks on thier own here in the states. So if you watn to get it , i'd get it early

I'm curious tho ... why ea sports active and fitness evolved ? They both seem to serve the same purpose.


I'm doing Kinectimals , your fitness and dance central. But I may do the target deal get fable 3 and hold off on dance central. It will be great when my gf and i buy a house next year hopefully ... but i dobut my parents would like my friends coming over to dance above their heads !
