[360] Microsoft: "2011 is all about Kinect"

[CrimsonGhost56]

Microsoft has claimed that its 2011 will "ultimately be all about Kinect" - as the device spearheads a "brilliant" line-up on 360.

MS's director of Xbox and Entertainment for the UK, Stephen McGill, was asked what the secret to Xbox's success so far had been in the latest issue of Xbox World 360.

As you may expect, he said it mainly came down to "incredible games", but added: "It's also about great entertainment and that's another key factor for us. We were the first company - and the best company, I think - to offer regular updates to our service so you don't have to keep on buying new bits of hardware.

"Every few months we've been doing new services such as introducing movies and music so we continue to evolve."

Discussing next year's prospects, McGill added: "As for the future, we've got a brilliant line-up for 2011 but it's ultimately all about Kinect. Kinect is going to blow people's minds. They're [already] buying it, but we've got a line-up of Kinect games that will blow people away."

it does in a way though. PS3 is still focusing on AAA exclusives and there's a shit ton coming out this year, its true a bunch are using Move like Socom 4 Killzone 3, but they are all optional, if you like using the move controller use it, and if you dont its not forced upon you. how many top notch exclusives are coming out for M$? Gears, Forza, and... and... a bunch of motion based games. its only a matter of time before wii-like shovelwear is coming out in droves. maybe they got a big trick up their sleeve, but as of right now theres nothing. if your down with jumping around like a monkey flailing your arms in your living room then more power to you but that aint my preference.

That's cool. I only see about 7 games that aren't for faggots. I see that you are one.

 

[leaffan]

I can't wait to command my pet tiger with some gay ass name to jump over a rock or some sht and have microsoft tell me its revolutionary.

lol @ the ps3 fanboys too. You have controllers with colored balls on the end of them and you wave them around like a bunch of wii wannabe's. Motion gaming can go fuck itself imo.

 

[Virix]

Yeah ok, I didnt see any of you PS3 fanboys talking about all the PS3 exclusives that came out this year... oh wait.

Half of that shit was supposed to be out this year and the other half will get pushed to 2012.

 

[Maynard]

it does in a way though. PS3 is still focusing on AAA exclusives and there's a shit ton coming out this year,

so what.....the thread is about ms focusing on kinect. not about all exclusives coming from sony.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

so what.....the thread is about ms focusing on kinect. not about all exclusives coming from sony.

so then what are your thoughts on MS moving towards motion based gaming? i saw your gamerscore in dance central. it was quite impressive

 

[Handleit_44]

Sorry for derailing the thread - back to the Kinect discussion...

 

[Maynard]

so then what are your thoughts on MS moving towards motion based gaming? i saw your gamerscore in dance central. it was quite impressive

dance central huh....lol

i have no interest in motion gaming. the wii is about as close to it that i want to get. some of those games are kind of cool with how they implement the motion controls into the traditional control. but the kinect is full motion control and that might be ok if they made a game that was worth even looking at. all i know about the games so far is they all seem like kids games that a kid wouldnt even play

if any one of these consoles made a motion game that was good then ok.....but they would have to over hype the greatest game of all time for me to even give it a look

the next thing these companies should focus on is a virtual reality experience that is like being in the matrix. something that u still control with your controller, but where it makes u feel like your actually in the game world. the movie disclosure had a scene about a virtual reality program. a concept like that would be great for future games

[Virix]

Have fun with your Wii 2.0

 

[Colonel Angus]

Kinect...really?? :jonesy:

 

[1ke]

As long as they dont fuck up Gears, Forza, and some of the other major money makers then Im still all good. In other words, who cares.

And just a sidenote to the PS3 exclusives.....out of that list, its a safe bet that half get pushed back again.
