[Call Me Maybe]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, did a search for 'real time' as well, nothing turned up. If old, please lock, and I'm sorry.

Anyway, IGN reckons that the voice commands during the really impressive Xbox One multitasking and UI demonstration weren't real time at all... they were being controller by a clicker.

Whereas I think it's okay that a Kinect wouldn't be able to be completely reliable in a presentation environment, I still think it's kind of sleazy that they tried to pass it off as the real thing when it wasn't. I wish they had put a small disclaimer, or anything. Right now, the most impressive thing about the Xbox One stands to be jeopardized because of needless speculation.

I don't see how this is surprising news.

 

[Wario64]

I dont think anyone is shocked by this revelation

 

[Duxxy3]

Color me shocked.

 

[UrbanRats]

Well, it's a sound idea, to avoid shit like Miyamoto's demo of SS.

 

[kingocfs]

Was that your first video game conference?

 

[Cmerrill]

Was anyone under the impression it was in real time?

I always assume deception when it comes to Microsoft presentations.

 

[Spartaner]

not surprising. i also heard clapping but nobody moved in the audience lol

 

[equippedwithtowel]

If this surprised you, you're too far gone already.

 

[Var]

I am shocked by this revelation.

 

[Massa]

 

[Ushojax]

Star Wars Kinect

never forget

edit: beatennnn

 

[MCN]

Well I for one am shocked and stunned, and more than a little astounded.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Said it during the conference. There was no way that was real time so everyone should be skeptical of Kinect 2.0 in a real world living room environment.

 

[Fistwell]

kind of sleazy

MS over the past cple of days in a nutshell.

 

[cyberheater]

It's the least of Xbox One's problems at the moment.

 

[Recall]

Sometimes the obvious needs stating.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Shocking

 

[BlazingDarkness]

None of the 'live TV' stuff was real either.

It was all smoke and mirrors.

 

[Canis lupus]

not surprised lol

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

i am shocked.

 

[la flama blanca]

"You see how instant that was?"

 

[kenta]

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that the interaction with his phone was fake too, right? Because it didn't look fake at all, not in the least did it look fake

 

[Phawx]

'presumably'

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I was thinking this when they were showing it off. Not surprised

 

[Dictator93]

This should not be surprising...
but no one should be impressed by the stuff at the conference anyways.

 

[Broken Joystick]

No "SHOCKING NEWS" title?

 

[A Human Becoming]

No bigs, nothing he did seemed inconceivable. Better that than some promo video. Scanning in plastic accessories anyone?

 

[Chittagong]

When I saw the keynote I figured that they have a guy backstage repeating the commands to kinect, there was always a small lag. It should be clear that it won't work in a noisy conference tent with a thousand people.

 

[Danielsan]

No shit. I thought everyone knew it was either a pre-recorded video, or someone hitting the right key after each command. Par for the course with Kinect presentations.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

"Let's see that again"

I know they've done this sort of thing before with Kinect, but with the amount of scrutiny they currently have directed at them, couldn't this turn into their 'Killzone 2 CG' moment?

 

[Valkyria]

 

[Sophia]

There were a few parts in there that looked obviously staged. Was one of my thoughts while watching it.

 

[Cynar]

It was real time if you were watching it on your 360 and a kinect. For those who had problems with it anyway.

I feel dirty linking to kotaku

kinect screwing with people at xbone reveal

 

[ultron87]

Next you're going to tell me the cheers from the crowd weren't real.

 

[Dennis]

Faking it? Why I never....

 

[exmachina64]

More bullshit.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

where's the shocking news title?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Oh dear.

 

[China Dont Care]

No shit most stage demos are always fake

 

[Iacobellis]

Can Microsoft do anymore wrong?

 

[DietRob]

Good thing it isn't a clap on clap off device.

 

[xam3l]

Came to post this.

Its really strange because it worked great on some 360's.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

I don't see how this is surprising news.

[adamsappel]

All the commands that Yusuf Mehdi was giving his Xbox were working perfectly on my 360. Every time he said Xbox, my Kinect started up and took me to the dash. Sigh.

 

[Jburton]

Lol ....... anyone who has watched their E3 pantomime over the past few years will know that MS lie when it comes to this shit.

Fake as fuck.

 

[B.O.O.M]

MS gonna be MS I guess ..I expect no less at E3 either

 

[shola]

we have all seen voice command stage disasters, only smart on MS part tbh.

 

[Vandiger]

I can't wait for launch impressions or parodies of kinect voice command.

 

[Archaix]

It was obvious it wasn't real time. The Kinect worked.
