Irish gaming website writes "When Kinect launches later this year it is set to be supported with a 15 game line up. As the Kinect is a controller free motion tracking device we are expecting “sports” and “Dance” style party games to be the main stay of the initial market.
We have seen a number of trailer videos so far that leave a lot to be explained so what exactly can we expect come release day"
Want to know what the the best selling Xbox 360 games of all time are? Well look no further, as we delve deep into this consoles' catalogue.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
Microsoft catering for the hardcore Xbox community as usual.
To quote from the blurb:
"Kinect Joy ride by Microsoft : This one interests us the most, it is a fun Kart style racer. Kinect tracks your body so you don’t need any buttons just sit up, hold your hands up as if you have an imaginary steering wheel and pedals in front of you and away you go. It is a wild and colourful game which really shows of just what Kinect is capable of."
Every review that touched Joy Ride was not very excited about this game.
The lineup:
1) Kinect Adventures by Microsoft
2) Kinect Joy ride by Microsoft
3) Game Party in Motion by Warner Brothers
4) Sonic Free Riders by Sega
5) Kinectimals by Microsoft
6) Dance central by Harmonix
7) Dance Masters by Konami
8) Motion Sports by Ubisoft
9) Your Shape by Ubisoft
10) Adrenalin Misfits by Konami
11) Kinect Sports by Microsoft and Rare
12) The Biggest Loser “the ultimate workout” by THQ
13) Zumba fitness Party by Majesco
14) Deca Sports Freedom by Hudson
15) EA Sports Active 2
So we see 8 sports / fitness games, and the rest is mini games / dancing games.
What are they thinking? Is every Kinect owner going to buy three fitness games?
