"We have finally entered the age of Motion Controls. Ever since the Wii took the gaming world by storm (a lot of us still wondering how), it was only a matter of time until the other two giants engineered their next-gen answer. With advanced reviews of PlayStation Move being lukewarm at best and early word of Kinect being received in the same manner, does the hardcore gamer really want this?"
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
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.
Moves on my pre order list, diskinect you can get the £1 and get read of that £29.99 after the £129.99 list.
They are both overpriced. The Kinect's lineup of games is downright awful. The Move's lineup isn't much better. I once owned a Wii so I'm pretty much done with crappy motion control devices.
got a move preordered, but thinking of cancelling until something good is announced or comes out, will probably wait for review scores on sorcery......tacking motion controls onto existing properties is not my thing either......Kinect is a no-go all the way.......I like my gaming with some sort of button-input, and not on-rails.
@ albel_nox
Agreed and bubbled. Fanboyism aside, I'm not impressed with either and will need something to really blow me away before I buy another peripheral.
Motion controls are not really that great but Sorcery looks good. Kinect Im not going to be bothering with.
