If it was then thats okay. Of course I would rather see a live demonstration, but it wasnt built with such a large crowed in mind.

SHOCKING NEWS: Xbox One Voice Commands During Demo Weren't Real Time
- Thread starter Call Me Maybe
- Start date
Faking it isn't of itself troubling but Ill tell you what is. Microsofts history of faking features not to ensure a smooth presentation but to represent a false product.
- Kinect
- Halo 2
What I want to know is did they fake this presentation because the OS isn't nearly that snappy or the features that smooth.

Of course not, it was a televised program. They wouldn't want to run problems like Miyamoto did with Skysword.
That's what I thoguht when I mulled it for a few seconds. We're talking about a setting that's pretty much the polar opposite of how this is supposed to be used, it was going to go about as badly as when watching the stream on an Xbox with Kinect connected.

This is what bothers me about it. They specifically stated everything we saw was realtime.
Maybe real time but not voice controlled.. terrible if true.
Bahahaha this is great.

Actually, I'm on #TeamProbablyFake, but the premise for this article seems a bit sketchy. If it is faked, I doubt they'd have it controlled by a clicker in the presenter's pocket! Why not have someone off-stage do it?

Guys,
This is the headline:
'FYI, The Xbox One Voice Commands Weren't in Real-time' <- Affirmative
and then
"his left hand automatically goes into his pocket, presumablyto press a clicker to proceed to a new slide or something similar" <- Presumption.
I'm sure everything was staged, but this is a terrible article.

The Kinect Disney Land demo was just a video & the kids were actors. Again, not really surprising. Pretty sure most on-stage demos are fake.

I wouldn't be surprised they didn't want to use voice commands in that environment. Voice commands for dashboard control are already accurate and responsive with the current Kinect, so it's nothing to worry about.
As for that Star Wars GIF, it's more misleading than what it's trying to portray -- that was part of the Cirque Du Soleil Kinect launch event. That guy isn't demoing the game, he's mimicking it as part of a dance routine about Kinect. Not that it matters much since Kinect Star Wars sucked anyway

Oh, if a Microsoft exec claimed something, then we know we're getting the truth.
Wait, wait, this just in...Microsoft can officially confirm that they cannot confirm whether this was a real time demo. No, it was. Wait, it wasn't. It might have been? It is, but only if that makes you happy. Otherwise, no comment.
*microsofts* stage demo's showing of their new innovative interactive hardware technology are always fake.
Sony/Nintendo aren't out there faking people using the Move/Wiimotes.
We finally have a true successor to our loyal giant enemy crab
Of course it was fake.
I think I also saw a gif of this in which that Yusef dude was doing the "snap" thing with Kinect, and you could clearly see that the window snapped BEFORE he actually made the gesture. He quickly tried to correct himself. I don't have the gif though and I have no idea where I saw it.

Maybe they should. That way we wouldn't have had the embarrassing Skyward Sword or Wonderbook demonstrations...

They must have had a lot of fun staging that bottom of an avatars foot moment.

The fact he pulled up a NBA game on ESPN in the middle of the day to show off live TV didn't tip anyone off? Or how HBO had a watermark on the screen when they don't do that? Or when he full-screened Star Trek before the Skype call, the "border" clearly adjusts to fill the screen again?

The last time MS tried to do something live this happened-
At least they were realtime fuckups lol.
Personally I'd rather see an awkward but genuine demonstration rather than some smoke and mirrors shit.

Yes bruce, I've never seen a playstation move demonstration faked, or wiimote.
edit;

The Price is Right footage was live, at least from what I remember. I paused the presentation, flipped over to the other tuner and rewound it to check.
