I wouldn't worry too much about Apple. They'll just have a version of Hal 9000 that makes use of existing camera set ups.Nowhere Man said:I wouldn't be to surprised if Apple had something up their sleeve too. And this is coming from a Mac user.Colt47 said:Microsoft: Oh, you don't like the Kinect on Xbox One? That's okay! We'll bring the Kinect to the PC!
Windows Users: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~!
Linux and Mac users point and laugh.
Yeah, people made a lot of amazing stuff using Kinect, from Minecraft mods to letting robots see.devotedsniper said:Was the original Kinect even usable for anything other than a webcam on pc? I never saw any content for it but either way i wont be buying one and a warning to others theres small print stating once plugged in it can never be removed, you have been warned.
WHAHAHAHA, who could possibly be interested in that piece of big brother crap.Steven Bogos said:Interested in the next generation Kinect
WE HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS TO IMPROVE CONVENIENCE AND INNOVATE AND ARE SEEKING NOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT DO NOT EXIST.Ultratwinkie said:Microsoft makes a console with features no one asked for or wants.
Microsoft tries to make a gadget for PC that no one asked for or wants.
Is this their new business plan?
Not to mention the fact that my friggin mouse has more buttons on it than a controller.Eppy (Bored) said:The glorious PC Gaming Master Race rejects your worthless motion sensor and Orwellian spy device. Why would I want motion controls? I have more keys than God on this thing.
I agree. I was really glad when Steam started moving to Linux, but not everyone is there yet. I bet they will be in a couple of years though, from what I've heard from people like Gaben and Notch.Eppy (Bored) said:I used to love Microsoft when it was the benevolent, galumphy giant that just crapped out a new OS every few years and called it good. Now it's trying to take over my living room AND my internet space. Games need to introduce Linux compatibility...
I've watched plenty of coverage from people that have gotten to test the new Kinect out, and it is galaxies away from the clumsy ass stuff of the first Kinect.Zipa said:So wait... they release the Kinect 2 for PC but don't actually bother releasing games on PC... That sure is a interesting business strategy you have there Microsoft.
Also why would a PC gamer want a clumsy ass motion controller when you can use a Mouse+KB or a controller anyway which are all far better?
Bring back Bill Gates, seriously at least that guy had common fucking sense.
yu know a year ago i woudlhave thught your joking. then windows 8 came out and now i think your not.RatherDull said:"Windows 9 will require Kinect to function."
Calling it now.
I guess by now its no secret that Bill Gates is mad. It has helped him in the past, but now it does not seem to apply any longer.Sonic Doctor said:Also, I hate to break it too you, but Bill Gates was like the first face they showed in the reveal special video compilation of all the people that are a part of supporting the XBox One.
