Could possibly be one of the hottest things for the 360 since... well.. the 360 itself!]]>Jun 14th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
Could be hot for Windows 7 as well.

Kinect is meant to entice/capture the casual gaming market. With voice recognition, hand gestures and easier parental controls etc. it is going to be easier to persuade your significant other to buy this.

Normal games might take their time to embrace this. Forza will come out in 2011 but it will probably be Forza 5 that will do it properly.]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/See I was thinking about this, and then I realised... Hardcore gamers are actually those who DON'T want to play a Wii-like game.. Why fix games like GoW, Halo etc. that aren't broken (in terms of playability with a controller) with waving hands?

I'm glad Microsoft is separating the two! ]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
How would you move around in games like Halo using something like this?]]>Jun 14th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/

I was hopeful that the UI enhancement part would be a great distinguisher for MS but they have certainly exceeded my expectations with video chat and person tracking.

Kinect Sports...

...

So uh. What happened to all during 2004 to 2006 of the Wii being a horrible gimmick and that it will never be successful? Please, someone tell me.]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
Although to be fair, this does look a lot slicker than the Wii first did.]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
I won't deny it, it looks very nice and probably works a fair bit better too (whenever a console makes a 'leap' for something and it works, other companies now have an example to go 'Okay they went wrong there, let's improve.')

But... Uh. *Coughhypocritescough.*]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
On a side note, I'm not convinced that Move will be it either, unless they have some kick ass titles to work with it. For me, I'll be sticking with my standard controllers; again, this is just one man's opinion.]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
Glad you're excited about kinetch, but I fail to see how it obliterated Move.

I'm much more interested in Socom 4 than I am in yet another wiisports clone, or DDR with a camera.

What do I use for buttons? can it track my fingers?

I guess the fanboys of either console will insist theirs obliterates the other, but it looks to me like they are simply different. For me, I just like games with instant interaction (buttons). I want to pull triggers and tap brakes and all that. The wii shows that this combination of motion and buttons is great.

That's not to say the knicth isn't going to be fun. Just that this idea that the Move has been obliterated sounds like fanboy silliness rather than reality.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/
Umm, maybe because there is a big market for casual games? ]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/the wii has outsold the xbox 360 by over 30 million units. just saying. adding wii-like capability for an extra $150 isn't likely to change those numbers much.]]>Jun 14th 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-kinect-for-xbox-360-launches-on-november-4/Jun 14th 2010 3:19PM
