Read through it and saw nothing mentioned worthy of buying and X1 for. :/
Worse off was that this is episodic with them saying each episode will be 2 hours long with no mention of how many total episodes there would be.

The part about touching a memento to see the past reminds me of Deep Down though I know movies and other games have had similar themes.

For the people interested in motion controls, does this titles implementation excite you? I'm curious if those aspects cater to the audience they're meant for favorably.

Did you play The Walking Dead? If not I highly recommend it. That's an episodic game with a focus on interactive story, like D4 appears to be. It's quite brilliant too.

The Walking Dead and Heavy Rain are pioneering examples of this genre, and imo removing the controller is a pretty big step in expanding the audience. I'm personally excited at the potential.

Whether D4 will hit the quality of those titles remains to be seen, but there will surely be other contenders as well.

THANK YOU, you actually explained the excitement.

That's actually kind of funny, it's "episodic" and in the genre of being an interactive story. It's like having an interactive tv show.

I'm glad more devs are bringing back this genre. Haven't seen enough games that have a strong focus on the storyline and the ones that have recently done this have gotten lots of praise. Everyone likes a good story.

+b for the helpful explanation.

this game is great.the kinect integration is cool..makes me wonder about all the cool stuff other devs could do with it..definitly getting it.

Like what I am seeing from this game will check it out for sure.

I don't see anything about that game that even makes me want it if it was on the PS3 or PS4. How can anyone say it will make everyone want an Xbox 180?

Take the fanboy goggles off, they're clouding your vision.
