Steel Battalion's Kinect controls kinda stress me out

"I had a lot of doubts about how Steel Battalion would make its transition form massive controller to the Kinect system with the newest entry into the series, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor for XBOX 360. Those worries I had about losing the feeling of immersion in the game seem pretty well answered in the newest trailer, which details some of the games impressive Kinect control set up. What has me most intrigued is the included use of a standard controller for your moving and shooting in the game, which I personally feel like I'd get the most precision with."

"Steel Battalion's Kinect controls kinda stress me out"

Says the person with a cigarette in her hand. I think you're stressed out in general, lol.

so the YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER has now turned into lets add a controller you can hold to give you "FAST RESPONSE AND PRECISION" this seems to defeat the purpose of KINECT and you are the controller slogan has MS finally added that it does not work as they claimed ?. lol

I think it works but its very hard to Make it work 100% properly compared to with a controller. Personally think the game will be awesome with the inclusion of the controller :3

When they announced this for kinect i went out and bough Kinect straight away. Hope its worth it cuz so far the voice integration for ME3 was really helpful for the powers i didnt have mapped. dance central is pretty fun but its not something i play as much as ME123, gears and skyrim.

Problem with kinect is it was originally supposed to have a decent processor built in but that was cut i believe. The rumor is that the next gen xbox will have a built in processor dedicated entirely to the included as standard kinect.

i can see the box art now:

'Kinect, You are the controller'

'controller required'

@raymantalk

Just like Sony's slogan, "it only does everything"...

Except...it really doesn't do everything.

[raymantalk1]

so what does it not do that other consoles do ?

and before you say cross game chat no fucker wants it or cares about it.

[maniacmayhem]

The question isn't what it does not do what others can. The slogan is "it only does everything"

but it doesn't do EVERYTHING.

the point is its just a slogan, a marketing term to throw in commercials and generate sales or interests. Just like Sega's "Blast Processing" or Coke "is it".

To take it as the holy word is ridiculous.

kinect by itself is a bit silly but with a controller, it could make games more immersive and hard core you could say.

[GribbleGrunger]

yeah, like the MOVE.

[raymantalk1]

forgot to mention the video just looks like a video listing the features does not show anyone controlling it so cannot make a judgment based on this video will wait till proper game play video/review.

[TekoIie]

If the game performs how the trailer says then it will be brilliant but again after the star wars kinect trailer that they faked im holding off until i see someone playing it.

I don't see how controlling a game with Kinect and a standard controller can stress anyone out. Anyone remember that huge controller for the other Steel Battalion game? That would stress me out.

Looking forward to this game though, should it get good scores and work well with Kinect all the threads with the scores will be whisper quiet.

It's always fun to see gamers stress out whenever anyone says anything bad about Kinect games.So far very few Kinect games have sold well, gotten high scores or even broke a million units sold. And yet people keep shouting and claiming 'the game will bring the hardcore' or this is going to be the game that shows the fanboys how great Kinect is' right before the hardcore show that they don't give a $hit or the game tanks or sells like $hit. And then people start getting defensive and angry and start blaming fanboys and websites and everything in existence.And yet every time a Kinect game is announced everyone goes into it with the exact same confidence and arrogance from before.

Look at Star Wars Kinect. Most sites give it below average scores and people are fighting tooth and nail for the few good scores it gets with people trying to lie and say the critics are divided. But if it were a game like UC3 or R3 for instance and it was getting scores like this people would call anyone defending it and anyone trying to scrap together the few high scores a bunch of desperate fanboys who can't see the 'truth'.

In short, I know people will think I am rooting for these things to fail but the hardcore just don't give a damn. Even the casual don't seem to give much of a damn either the way the Sesame Street game, that was supposed to beat every game last Christmas couldn't even cross a million units.So be optimistic if you want but I am guessing most Kinect games coming out will either sell bad, get low scores, no one will give a damn or be some pointless gimmick in a game.

You may think otherwise but I think it is safe to bet.Anyone thinking games like Steel Battalion or anything like that will be great is a very small amount of people. And don't bother telling me it is only on N4G people think that. They think that all over the web.I've checked and the remarks and posts are very negative.
