I'm going to give it some time before I completely judge it I guess. I can't stand the Wii really, but even that has some merit. It's just they're venturing into territory differently. It may be that yeah, the Wii got them to go after this market, but they ARE both doing it differently. The concept of body-based motion gaming has been around a LONG time, so it's not like they're copying Nintendo for shits and giggles or something. This stuff is the future of gaming, just... not this adolescent version of it. Motion gaming will be more like that Michael Douglas movie with him walking on the platform of rotating balls with a VR helmet rather than Natal.
Kinect is looking more and more to be cruel and unusual punishment for those interested in playing it. Seriously, the only game that looked worth playing was the street fighting one and it's loaded with bugs and a warning against the dangers of 2 player. XBox should have kept this under R&D for a few more years.
It screams eyetoy circa 2000.
Only difference is this is getting more resources and development.
Sadly it looks as ill fated as the eyetoy.
1-2 good games that will tempt enough people into buying ti to make it fully supported.
Then the games thereafter are all gonna be crap.
Can you say Madden 20XX?
If this is the future of gaming, FPS gaming especially, I think it's about time I fufill my dream of becoming an abtract artist. I shall now mutilate myself upon a large 12x16 canvas, rolling about so as to make plenty of fluid strokes with my soon to be limp limbs. The end result shall picture a myriad of assorted quadrilaterals and shall sell for millions because, despite it being my only piece, it will also be my last.
You're not doing it right! You're supposed to tie a noose in a room with the Kinetic and see how the Kinetic reacts to your body movements...if there are any at all.
the ease of control looks worse than on a Wii... whoever came up with this should know how ghettotastic such a thing is... or else i would feel sorry for him/her.
i know this is just a demo, but i can only imagine how absolutely retarded it is to try to have a fully immersive action FPS without a light gun like Time Crisis... im going to wait for VR before i really think FPS should be played with your full body. though there are a couple exceptions, the arcade game "Police 911" is actually pretty fun, but this it far from that.
"It works you guys!"
Really...
LOL WUT
Seems some
peopletrolls here love that thing. Oh well...Those particular trolls can just eat a dick.
Right. Because your comment and this entire post isn't trolling...
Interesting.
I know, body movements r innovation and everything but why can't we just have a WIRELESS GUN!? God dammit...
The new Power Glove of our generation.

wtf is happening there, i can't make it out with the camera guy keeps moving around. XD
Exactly! Can't tell what the hell is going on with such a bad video. i dont see the point of this article
Kinect is only good for hentai games. Case closed! Then again what isn't?
Kinect for h games? Illusion's (joy)stick controller is way better.
What we need is a waterproof casing for the Move. Suddenly, the gamer populace will be populated by large numbers of girls.
seeing as the kinect is so new and this was just a demostration (right?) I'm still optimistic
LOLOLOLOLOL... FAIL
I bet even the promoters are confused in what they are doing.
Can't help but feel that they made those characters' heads massive just to give people a place to actually hit.
I swear to god I heard the bald guy saying "I can't understand, is really dumb." lol

Rush marketing. They're trying to one-up Sony and Nintendo, so they're pushing this crap and saying "It's the future of gaming!"
The only way to stop this sort of thing is to show that gamers aren't going to stand for unnecessary, buggy crap. As in, nobody should buy this. Ever.
FPS will have a new meaning "Fucking Piece of Shit"

Microsoft R&D hahahahahahaha
Shit Games for a shit genre for a shit console...what did you really expect?
I be seen the future of videogames and its hideous @_@
Kinect with Hinako will be glorious.
Its actually pretty fun to play. plus this fps is third party and not a launch title aka shitty.
Kinect... Im disappointed ಠ_ಠ
NO REALLY FOCUS ON MY TITS MAN IT WORKS
For a dynamic FPS game there is yet nothing better than a blazing fast mouse+keyboard combo.
Definitely not such a bullshit like in that video. That has to be the biggest crap since the invention of the water toilet.
KoollKat disagree, aiming with Wii mote or pointer gun (those have been around since cartridge era) will give you better results.
Maybe you just haven't tried it yet.
kinect obviously wasn't designed for FPSes. unless this is just a tech demo, whoever made this game is nuts.
Even if it is a demo what fucking moron thought it would be a good idea to show it to people even tho it obviously doesn't work!
If it's a tech demo, shouldn't it be designed to work with Kinect? And yet it doesn't.

not only the super responsive controls, but cutting edge graphics too!....
what? ...neither?
...meh, someone will buy it for their grandson.
The 360 cant do cutting edge graphics.
It works when you combine it with some controller that has a colored ball on top.
At least it won't break TVs so easily.
PEW PEW!
Exactly. lulz
I think Schrobby has some Microsoft fags trolling him. Really the down votes... wtf?
Microsoft trolls............I HATE MICROSOFT TROLLS!!!!
I think it's the same fags that troll me the last few months. Seems they still didn't get a life. Oh well, it keeps them off the street I guess. ^_^
Kevin Butler called it!
If this is the future of gaming, I will kill myself right now.
Manage to do it while you're playing this and I will be impressed that the Kinetic can actually do anything.
And give MS any satisfaction about Kinect?
jumping off MS HQ, sorry.

C3PO would be happy.
