Microsoft: "2011 is all about Kinect"

[NAHSTE]

Have fun with Kinect. I'll be watching blu-rays and playing the best sports game of the year.



(Seriously though, lol at these bullshit console wars ... play what you want, and let others play what they want, that simple.)

[MvP]

My dwindling interest in gaming + "2011 is all about Kinect" = I probably won't even turn my 360 on until the new Elder Scrolls comes out.

[Twigg4075]

I'm actually rather impressed with the Kinect. My kids love it, it's great exercise...

It will probably fade out over time, but it's a really amazing piece of tech. It just needs some non-Wii games...Star Wars or something serious. I'm not getting a dance game....ever.

That's exactly what my thoughts are. The technology seems really cool but unless they support it with good games it's going to fall flat on it's face and no one is going to care about it in a year. There aren't any decent games on the horizon either. There's only so much you can do with complete motion based gaming.

Kinect hates the KNUBB so fuck them

I'm pumped for 2011 with my 360 and it has nothing to do with Kinect.

On topic:
Not really interested in the motion gaming industry, but as long as the main games dont get fucked by either party then ill be happy.

[JBregz]

Yeah not really interested in motion gaming at all but this is gonna be a sweet fucking year for the PS3, damn.

[Sigona]

All I know is that the kinect has Javelin throwing so I'll be picking it up soon. I played it at my girlfriends house and that shit had me sweating at the end of track and field.

i hope you are right. the show should be as good if not better than last year. I hope they dont get comfortable with what they have established. Aside from that i am looking forward to twisted metal and UC3

Big Gears of War guy?

[BrntO4Life]

Big Gears of War guy?

No, I hate Gears. All of the stuff I'm pumped for is multiplatform, but I don't have a PS3.

Games like Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, LA Noire, Child of Eden, Deus Ex, Rage, and Portal 2 should be amazing.

Also, I'm very interested in The Old Republic. In general, I'm against MMOs and subscription-based gaming, but this game just might get me.

All you vaginas overreacting to motion gaming.
Who cares.
If it works, it's great for all of us.
If it doesn't, we all continue to play the way we have.

I'd love motion gaming to work, it would build the gaming universe.
If it doesn't, so be it.

I look at my buddy, a big time NFL fan, thinks Madden looks very cool, you put a controller in his hand, it's like putting me in a room with hot women. It doesn't work.

I think everyone should be worried that kid games and portable gaming is getting this much attention.

COD BO may sell a billion $ worth but every casual dickhead thinks *angry birds* when they think about games. Epic is already spending alot of time and effort into making unreal engine nice and neat for the douchepad and android.
MS concentrating on a market that seems incapable of producing anything other than bootleg children's games is worrisome.
That PS3 list might as well be dubbed games noone will give a shit about. The same list of games was supposed to make waves 2-3 years ago and noone gave a fuck then.
Portal 2 and GOW 3 are the only things I'm excited about. They are also monumentally easy for them to fuck up.
Yup I love halo...cod..gow... but I'm bored to tears with what's out there and what's coming up. Unless someone comes up with some insane way to use motion tracking with 3D displays 2011 is much of the same Ol same Ol.
6 year old hardware = boredom.
Smartphones will have gpu power equal to ps3 / 360 by years end ...there's a race for 3d interfacing. Consoles seem asleep at the wheel.
PC gaming is so dead it no longer has anything to force consoles into the next Gen so no hope there either.

Blah....

i been saying this for years. its been a growing trend and is even more at the forefront today. hardcore gamers are becoming irrelevant to what the industry is doing. They are all looking for the next big thing that will intrigue the younger generation. These motion games are all about group interaction and family gaming. But these are games mostly geared towards young kids and their parents who can play without it being to advanced for them.

the industry will still keep pumping out games for the hardcore gamer, but the trend has also shifted bigtime into making a game that can be copied several times over. This allows them to Madden a product for a steady flow of revenue while they focus on developing these new technologies.

The hardcore gamer is really a moron and will buy games no matter what. the dves know this. Look at black ops compared to COD4. its essentially the same game and the devs dont have to invest much money into its new features and they make a shitload off of it. They made billions off of a game that was created in 2007. 3 games that are the same as the original.
