Suehiro: D4 Will Show Why Kinect Is Great For Gaming

Access Games' Hidetaka Suehiro confirmed that he strongly believes in Kinect, and D4 will help show core gamers how enjoyable it can be.

Same story since 2010. And then we get steaming, hot-garbage like Steel Batillion. Not a single Kinect game has yet justified the device.

[princejb134]

Agreed
I think kinect is good for kids to burn their energy out but not so much for grown ups

[calis]

Kids should be burning their energy up outside.

@calis

So true !

[cleft5]

The idea of Kinect is great, however the actual execution of Kinect is terrible. I have been watching a broadcaster play Ryse and the whole time I was thinking that I would never want to use a Kinect to do any of that crap. Same goes for Dead Rising 3 and the worst part is that the damn thing didn't work well enough the first time. When I see people using the Kinect 2.0 it usually devolves into them yelling at the Kinect to do a simple command that would have taken less than a second with a button press.

If they could ever make the Kinect work the way it was suppose to than it would be amazing, but to bet your entire console future on the Kinect is a huge mistake.

@calis

I agree kids should be playing outside
Sadly we live in a world now where kids don't like to run around as much. Kids nowadays prefer gaming not their smartphones

I don't know, for fitness based stuff I think it's a great bit of technology. I'd love to have a go at Insanity while utilizing kinect. However being honest, I don't want to be dripping with sweat in my living room.

Still, for real games though, I agree, so far there has been absolutely nothing that has changed my mind about kinect's value for gamers.

[Stick89]

Coming from someone who has done Insanity, Kinect wouldn't really serve any purpose. Honestly you do way too much way too quickly. A legitimate heart rate monitor (one with a chest strap) will give you far more accurate numbers (hear rate, calories burned, etc...) than a camera ever will.

Also, sweat is a serious issue, I thought P90X was bad, I was wrong.

[infectedaztec]

Does kinect fitness,count as a game? Because that's a potential system seller. Alot of good things have been said about the potential of D4 too.
I'll be honest, it wasn't kinect that made me change my preorder to xbox one but its future potential is one of the reasons. Each to their own though.

So what are Kinect sports, child of Eden, Dance Central. All games mentioned brought hours of fun to my house hold. Kinect games will get better.

[Alexious]

Obviously this refers to core games, not casual ones.

[EasilyTheBest]

I still play tiger woods golf with Kinect, its way better than using a controller. I still play Eden and I love playing Kinect Sports 1 and 2.
Rise of Nightmares was hardcore and I loved that aswell. I always found it weird watching others trying to play it cos they never seem to grasp it...

[GusBricker]

Plus, if you don't like playing with Kinect, they give you the option to play with your controller. Win win.

[TomahawkX]

I actually think supporting both controller and kinect will hold back what kinect can really do. Go for all or go for broke.

[Alexious]

You may be right in that.

[GusBricker]

Well, some people aren't going to give Kinect a shot, no matter what, you know what I mean?

[OrangePowerz]

I believe it when I see it.

[MightyNoX]

Smart.

[MadLad]

The game seems to really be shaping up so far.
Time will tell though.

[Revolt13]

That's a big statement.
hopefully he can follow through.

[lonewolfjedi]

please stop lying to yourselves

[Mikefizzled]

D4 looks great but you will have your critics with statements like that.

[Sven Benoit]

I have a serious question. What's the issue with casual games? I love core games as much as the next man, but seriously who hasn't had fun with at least one casual game? Maybe I am just speaking on my behalf, but I have had HOURS of fun with casual games. Me personally I don't care if it's a casual games or core games, games are games PERIOD.

[Alexious]

I agree, but I think the question here is: we've seen that motion controls can be fun with casual games, but what about core games?

[Sven Benoit]

But see that's what i'm saying, why should it matter if Kinect (or motion controls) can produce solid core games. I mean it would be nice if we can get AAA core titles with motion controls, but if it only produces solid casual games then me personally i'm fine with that.

[odderz]

Let's hope it'll be as great as The Fighter Within! Right guys?

[BobBelcher]

The kinect lets me control the Xbox like a jedi, so... that's a 'win' in my book.

[InTheLab]

Wasn't the actual Jedi controlling game crap though?

[from the beach]

Lovely stuff. My favourite Kinect games so far have come from Japan - Child of Eden and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour - this looks like another nice title.

[godofboobees]

Kinect is like that one friend you hate, but seem to never get rid of

[aaron5829]

if i hate a person, that person will never be a friend of mine.

[SuperWeeb]

D4 is reliant on the Kinect?
There goes all interest in the only Xbox exclusive I was interested in. Now I guess I have no reason to get one for at least three-four years now.
Thanks, Microsoft!

[Volkama]

Nope, you can play with a controller if you're really that afraid of kinect.

[Alexious]

You can play with the controller, but that would kind of defy the point since it looks like they have put a lot of effort in using Kinect.

[GirlOnFire]

This is sadly the only game I have interest in but Kinect is something I never liked. T-T

[urwifeminder]

After playing sports rivals demo and seeing the headway they have made myself I will be checking this out Kinect 2 works very well indeed.

[MilkMan]

Please do.
