Destructoid Hands-on: Child of Eden (controller) put me in a trance

Our Jonathan Holmes got to participate in what might seem like the Dale North from Destructiod writes "more exciting side of a of a Child of Eden press event, which was scheduled to coincide with last month's Tokyo Game Show. We split the duties, which gave him the hands-on (hands-off?) experience with the game's Microsoft Kinect motion-controlled mode while I took the standard control pad mode. In the end it turned out that I probably had the better experience. Holmes said that he wished he would have tried the control mode after hearing what I had to say about it.

Unfortunately for Kinect hopefuls, as it stands now, the controller-only experience is the definitive one."

to play with a controll or with Kinect?

That would make more sense since we all wont have Kinect.

Waits on developers response to say that a controller patch will be implemented later, depending on sales.

Neckbear4984d ago

You can play the game with a normal controller, or with Kinect.

It's not a Kinect-only title.

UP4984d ago

If you read it. It says that the game can be played with a controller.

cliffbo4984d ago

WAIT a minute! didn't MS just say that the difference between games on Kinect and games on MOVE is that the games on Kinect are made from the ground up for Kinect?! and yet this game can be played with the controller!? not only that but it looks more like a MOVE title!

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ADMIRALcoltgahr4984d ago

that because the game was multi-platform to begging with

kungfuian4984d ago

Don't get me wrong. Game looks really cool, but like to see a kinect game that isn't a rail shooter.

Also, bet this game would be fun with 2 move wands.

R_aVe_N4984d ago

I agree with you here. I think the controls would be a lot better with the Move in my opinion. The idea behind it is great, but the lag that comes a long with it is just can hurt the game.

tiamat54984d ago

So much for the killer app.Since Move is a controller then it probably works better with Move too.Another strike against Kinect.

Is easy to find in N4g bad articles talking about Kinect or 360 or Halo........why?

Pillville4984d ago

Same reason you can find so many bad articles about GT5 and Move. Anything that's exclusive get picked over pretty harshly.

Imagine if the new Castlevania was exclusive, there would be 10x the articles claiming it's the greatest thing ever AND why it's doomed.

alb18994984d ago

from gt5 i see 200 good and 2 bad so the move but for Microsoft is like hell in here!

ilikecookies4984d ago (Edited 4984d ago )

you haven't been told? N4g doesn't exist. It's just a cover up. This site is really called PS3N4G since the PS fanboys make up the majority of it. But that doesn't mean there aren't the fair share of xbox fanboys.

cyberwaffles4984d ago

i guess this site could've been called 360N4G a while ago. from 2006 to about maybe late 2008 or 2009 this site had nothing but shit talking about the ps3, and its arguably justified considering there wasn't a whole lot of games to choose from during the ps3's early years.

i would say this site started gearing towards the ps3 once killzone 2 released.

Are video games art? Looking back at... Child of Eden

Jack writes: "“Are video games art?” This is a perennial argument, one with staunch advocates on both sides who are hard to sway. Naysayers, though, can be shown examples of art in video games that are hard to deny – such as the visuals of the sadly overlooked Child of Eden, released for Kinect in 2011."

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for December 2017 any good?

Neil writes: "It seems rather strange to be saying this but 2017 is fast coming to a close. Before we start to party the night away and usher in 2018 though, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme has got one last surprise up its sleeve - four free games being gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players.

But hot on the heels of November’s offerings that delivered so much (or at least three of the four did), can the free titles being given away during the month of December match up to the quality, or are we being sent a few duds that refuse to let us go out with a bang? We take a look at the good, the tempters and the, well, ugly."

I purchased BTTF on PS3 at the tail end of the system's life. I enjoyed Episode 1 but life went on and I never finished. I'm actually pretty psyched about getting that one.

Prince_TFK2363d ago

You should definitely play Back to The Future. No matter what reviewers say, I really enjoyed this game. The story is awesome and the twist is just heartbreaking.
