Adam2Marsh: My Kinect Experience

This is my experience for Kinect from my first go at Eurogamer Expo 2010 to the day it arrived, includes all the Lows and the Highs. Also my thoughts on what the future holds for this new piece of kit.

If Gears gets the full Kinect experience I think a lot of 360 owners are going to feel a bit let down. Leave those games alone!

dale14906d ago

if gears gets the full kinect experience,i won,t be touching it with a barge pole same goes for forrza.its for kids and family the 5 min boredom deal breaker.then theres the tech head who wants to talk to it,i doubt it will get any better as sony has the camera controller patented to [email protected] ms decides to try that line then its a new advert of we need a controller

hennessey864906d ago

is like a harry potter style extra, thats all it will be but im looking forward to it none the less

eferreira4906d ago

if its just an option like move for those core games, then it will be alright

InItForTheGames4906d ago

I hope so. One thing I can see happening as time passes looking at this kinect I have here is the motor that moves the cam when it comes on wearing out. Send it to msft for repair seems a bit flimsy. Fun for the kids and none gamers though.

hennessey864906d ago

feels like a well made piece of kit in my hands. The motor is used once when you turn it on so it can calibrate so i dont see a problem there. Also im 24 ive been gaming since i was about six and im sick to death of people saying its for none gamers or "casuals" im far from a casual gamer but i enjoy kinect and the fresh experience it brings. I ve just got rid of black ops because im begining to realise that its just the same old shit every year and its the so called " hardcore " that are holding the industry back. All you want is sequeals and new ip but of the same genre.

Bless him,he's an little baby.You haven't been playing long enough to have seen stuff like this before?The gameplay experience is very Eyetoy(yes I know the tech is more advanced but you do the same things with your old fashioned human body).

Halo 4 UNSC Weapons, Vehicles, And Mechs

We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.

I know there were going to be mechs for a while, but seeing it actually shoot at that ship is so awesome.

Report suggests the UK is a console nation

Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.

France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

"when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets."

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?

People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.

No source, no truth

who approved this garbage?

Knight_Cid4465d ago

you shouldnt be proud to approve slander

ATi_Elite4464d ago

but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.

Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?

I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.

Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.

StayStatic4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.

kevnb4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.

guitar_nerd_234465d ago

I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.

But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.

Paul Christoforo to Write a Book Based on the Ocean Marketing Debacle

Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
