Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
My friend is going to the MS store tomorrow to check out the demo. She asked me to go with her, but there's no way I'm driving an hour to see something I don't want to buy. I am curious to hear what her impressions are, though.

You ever think your own skepticism for Project Natal is clouding your judgement? I admit I probably have the same problem.-COOLIO- said:

for now ill just say that i feel that kinect games are the kind of thing that people will really like for the first hour and then never again.Kulock said:
except maybe dance central, that looks solid.
so if im going to be made a believer, quick impressions aren't going to do it for me.
probably, but ive been pretty good at predicting things. so i'm overwhelmingly confident.Megadragon15 said:

i think ive avoided spouting my negativity in mooost kinect threads, but i have to do it somehwhere. kinect is big for the industry and while im not confident in it, id like to discuss it.
i don't care about changing minds either. it's not like im releasing a competing device. it's more fun if there's less skeptics anyway.

This is your problem to get over, right? I mean, you and a group of other very pro-Move types seemingly come into every single Kinect/Natal thread and do the same thing...say the same thing...think the same thing. It's almost like a campaign to alter people's thinking, to fight positivity expressed by others in something you dislike, disbelieve, whatever... Of course, you're going to be hard to be convinced of something that what you've already come to strong conclusions about. Why you push others to make a case for you to come around with seems silly since the only logical course of action would be for you to try it for yourself. Of course, the strong possibility is that you've already reinforced your ideas and set your expectations such that you're never ever going to like it and never ever going to give it a fair shake. And that's fine for you if you're only looking to validate your suspicions...your desires. Clearly, you disbelieve every single positive impression, caught on video or not. And if you believe people's impressions are sincere, they have to be high on the initial novelty only to find it lame shortly afterward, right? If only they could see it the truth of the matter, right? Why waste your time and others' with your repetition when almost everyone who frequents these threads well knows your position as you've only reiterated it at every given opportunity?-COOLIO- said:

then Kinect obviously fails.
Besides, maybe they were smiling because it was so hot outside and they just walked into a nice air conditioned store. Or maybe they were thinking of their loved ones. There could be hundreds of reasons, really.
Not convinced.

Looks like MS lied about the RGB camera too, the guy is whiter than glue but the game thinks he's black?

Well, Halo: Reach is toast. It was a good attempt nonetheless, Bungie.

So a thread asking Xbox 360 owners if they'll buy Kinect is full of people who don't own 360s answering no.REMEMBER CITADEL said:

The River rush gameplay may be very simple, but the more I watch people playing, the more it looks fun. I'm almost saying "hooo" and "haaa" when they miss tokens or manage to get a group of them.
Hearing someone shout "jump" at each ramp reminds me of my first games of Donkey Kong, with all the kids shouting to the player what he had to do.

Seriously! I have a 360 and I'm not going to get Kinect unless they drop the price by about $100 or come out with a large library of good titles. Is that hard to believe or something?akachan ningen said:
I trust MS Kinect is working...SeaOfMadness said:
... as long as they set up the environment. Image recognition is very dependent on lighting and contrast. There are millions of living rooms with totally different "setups" and different problems Kinect has to cope with.
So I believe it REALLY works when it stands that test.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Not ashamed to say I will buy one for each Xbox I own (2). I am more interested in the remote control replacement features and maybe the game Children of Eden. Not really expecting a killer app at all. As long as some major games add kinect gimmicks (ie: Forza 4), and the remote control features work as advertised, I am down with the price.
Considering I pay $60 for games I play only a couple hours, I don't see the price as a barrier. I just want whatever they demo'd at E3 to work as advertised.

I dont believe they depend only on the IR sensors....but I might be wrong with that, I dont know there tech in-depthAlx said:
Still an IR camera needs contrast and even more than a standard camera, as the AR is "black&white".
That might have been the problem with the E3 presentation, probably the temperature in a room filled with lots of human and technological heat sources might be infavorable.
Nice impressions Rabbitwork. Especially considering the only real impressions we've been having are from game "journalists". It still sounds like a work in progress but I'm sure they'll get most of it sorted by launch.

It really is striking me as though Microsoft were planning to announce the price at E3 but decided not to at the last moment. When a company rep is acting as though it's the real price (and not some gamestop clerk) then it starts to sound more and more real.Rabbitwork said:

Not all, but there are more than a few stand outs. I know fortified_concept would never own the American corporate bourgeoisie console.akachan ningen said:

So you speak for the general consumer then. OK
I was looking for some solid gaming impressions from relatively like minded gamers but they're not forth-coming. I don't want to know that somebody who doesn't give a funk about games likes it. I want to hear that i will like it and that it's somehow a step forward in the right direction. All i'm getting from these impressions so far is "if you don't like it's not for you". Then again maybe that's a good thing considering the price being bandied about
I suppose i come across rather vexed but it's only because i was one of those giving kinect, then natal, the benefit of the doubt
First of all, thanks fior the impression, Rabbitwork. Sounds good for what it is right now.
And then I can not believe what I read in here. "They had no fun!, look at them, their smile is forced!" Are you guys serious about this? This is heading into a microscopic partition and I have never seen something like this to be honest. Just because one thinks the Kinect games are not fun, does not mean noone can have fun with them. Take off your cloudy glasses for once.

Sort of a side note, but it's interesting to see how despite apparently low purchase intent or even awareness of Kinect (or Move for that matter) via independent studies, MS PR has consistently been plugging this notion of it being the 'must-have toy this christmas' and painting the picture of the...err...general consumer... being in love with it. Whoever the general consumer is. It's in everything from their Burger King press release to their executive interviews. Usually citing unnamed 'industry observers' and their predictions.
Talk about building a narrative.

Simple, yep. Doesn't accurately represent all the players actions, yep. More than likely boring as hell for a core gamer playing by themselves, yep. Something I could play with my wife (who is a casual part time gamer) and have fun with, yep. Worth the price of a full game, this part I'm not sure about.
