They should release the pure green screen video of Kinect Sports Rivals as Subscriber Content

Imagine all the glorious transparent webm's!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Kinect does not disappoint. They need a spinoff only covering Kinect.

To be fair on microsoft, they realised that the kinect is so shitty that they barely release any games for it, thus being fairly efficient with their resources.

 

[chubigans]

Man, the scanning of their faces was pretty darn good. I think their avatars look close.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Only on Giant Bomb can I watch a Watch Dogs video, but leave hyped to watch Out Of Sight

Gimme!

 

[Megasoum]

I don't know if it's just me who has a dirty mind but I'm hearing sexual innuendo every 2minutes in the Kinect Sports Rivals quick look lol.

 

[Goldmund]

We approached the "PC version is the way to go" stage rather quickly this time around.

Indeed. Disappointing.

 

[Consequence]

Awwwww yeeahhh.

This had better be just Lang playing Sneak King.

 

[Dragon]

Indeed. Disappointing.

With Ubisofts history on PC I definitely wouldn't assume that.

 

[Alo81]

Watchdogs visuals look really good, but it's definitely framey. It might be their capture setup but it seemed sub-30 for a few points.

Approached? Brother, we've always been there.

 

[razgriz417]

The character creation in KSR is sublime and quite impressive. But what a waste to have it in a game like this.

completely agree

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Professional Wednesdays back ? !

Also I am still mixed on Ubi's pc output.

oh man

Don't know why anyone is so down on Kinect. It was 2 for 2 on throwing up the tennis ball! >_>


Honestly, though. No amount of nice face scanning tech makes up for the spotty controls, shitty gameplay and long loading times. I'm fairly certain the best time I will have with any Kinect game is seeing them made fun of in GB QLs. :lol

That quicklook took a turn for the great during tennis if you just watch Vinny the whole time

 

[SteveWinwood]

Indeed. Disappointing.

What, you can't handle the truth?

Edit oh if I take it the way the guy below me means it's totally different!

 

[Goldmund]

Approached? Brother, we've always been there.

I'm talking about how quickly this was acknowledged in such a matter-of-fact way. Last generation it was as if people were learning a new, unfamiliar language; it took years to say the simplest things.

 

[Baloonatic]

The load times on that Kinect game... Unbelievable. Fun QL though!

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is Super Professional Wednesdays from GB Prime or GB Chitown?

The fact that it is later makes me thing it is GB Prime

 

[DrFunk]

i can't

GB Chitown


GB Prime only does their version on Fridays

Ok, thanks... Due to the naming, I thought this show might be coming back for a while.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Oh I forgot that show had a similar name at one point.

but given jeff's explanation that show wont be returning and its kinda sad that the show was so dull i forgot that.

 

[Khezu]

Jeff seemed more interested in getting one of those batons then Watchdogs.

I know right !? My dad found one in the back of a car he bought. Not too shabby.

GUYS DAILY DOTA IS BACK YAY

Hopefully Patrick counters with the Daily Hearthstone.

 

[plasmawave]

That's pretty good lol.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Kinect continues to be shite

 

[plasmawave]

I was always under the impression that Vinny was the tallest in Giantbomb.

 

[sixghost]

Kinect continues to be shite

Every month I become more convinced that the decision to bundle in the Kinect with the Xbox will go down as the #1 thing that held the system back. That piece of shit bumped up the price of that console at least $100.

 

[TharpDaddy]

God the Kinect Sports Rival quick look is amazing. I'm disappointed we didn't get to see junior lady Vinny.

 

[patapuf]

There has to be a good way to use the kinect functionality beyond party games and an aditional party game.

Someday a dev will figure it out. And then, the game will bomb horribly.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

GUYS DAILY DOTA IS BACK YAY

6.81 confirmed.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Swear I heard the Mass Effect weapon overheat noise in the Rivals quick look.

 

[mrJared]

So now GiantBomb is even dismissing NPD numbers as wholly inaccurate, and not fully representative. Acting as if no one cares about NPD now, since they are wrong and therefore irrelevant. However it was relevant enough for Jeff to make a prediction last week that the Xbox would win March.

So why have this viewpoint now?

Because of their colleagues at other websites? When everyone else, GBomb and even Microsoft had no issue the last 7 years trumpeting the NPD's, but now that things have shifted they wish to jump right in behind other media peoples trying to lead the charge against the NPD reports.

While they all love to talk trash about the NeoGaf minions and forum fanboys, they clearly read it all, considering their talking points seemingly come straight from these threads here. So with that... my subscription ended recently, and i will not be re-subbing.

 

[OMG Aero]

+ virtual Vinny

Is this from the latest Dreamworks movie?

I thought it was just Patrick that dismissed an NPD report, on his tumblr? I'm not sure why it's a problem for Patrick and Jeff to have non-identical opinions. Seems like a crazy reason to drop your subscription

Jeff dismissed them as well. saying "no one cares about this stuff anyways" and that "the accuracy of NPD has always been in question"

I can't find those quotes on his tumblr or the site, was it from a podcast?

The Kinect Sports Rivals QL is freaking hilarious, their Kinect videos are always comedy gold!
