Well, I was Watching some E3 2011 vids, and I noticed something. Everytime someone says "we want to reach out with the game," I began to brace myself against the words I feared: This game will involve Kinnect.

Now I like Kinnect, and I will get one eventually, but I want it to STAY AWAY FROM MY GAMES!!!

For instance:

(EDIT: Yes I know it won't be a exclusive, it was just an example on what might be pulled off to cram more Kinnect into the game. Or maybe I'm just over reacting? Hmm.)

Mass Effect 3: Though Kinnect has a small part to play in this so far, I can't help but feel that they sold a piece of the Game Play to Kinnect. I like the idea, but I also think it wasn't needed, and that I will end up regreting my love for the series. Also, you never know, maybe the game will REQUIRE the bloody thing :L



Fable: THE JOURNEY
I know, Fable isn't the best series ever, but I like it. Screw that, I love it. I know Peter really loved Kinnect, and I know that he was planning other Kinnect Games. But Fable: THE JOURNEY is Kinnect Exclusive. I WANT MY FABLE IV! Screw this, why should I buy a Kinnect to play one of my fav games!



Now These are only the FIRST of Previews I've seen. I'm sure you'll see more. What do you think?

I despise the kinect with a passion. That thing needs to be erased from history.

MINECRAFT KINNECT
This annoys me off the most. Minecraft SHOULD be a PC exclusive, let alone a Kinnect Game. Now what? The bloody Hard-core gamers coming in and making Minecraft a new CoD, or griefing, or Just making rubbish designs and calling themselves "Pro?" Kinnect will also be a bloody downer for it. It will lose it's reputation and turn into a complete wreck!
If I'm not mistaken, it will be for regular Xbox as well, not just Kinnect. And I'm glad. There's no real reason that it should stay exculsive to the PC.

OT: That being said, I hate teh Kinnect. I can think of few things that would be improved by it.

Mass Effect won't require kinect. It's just something to make it a bit more convenient. They wouldn't downright remove a feature because they can put it on kinect.

Minecraft is Mojang's project, they've already said it'd be on Sony's Xperia and why would they limit themselves to just PC? I'm hoping it'll be able to be played with a controller as well. You make it sound like it'll downright ruin Minecraft. Minecraft already is a multi million dollar franchise, I doubt putting it on a console will kill it. It's already been used with kinect through kinect hacks.

As for the Fable game, it's pretty lame. I don't care for on-rail shooters in the first place. I don't know why they thought that would be a good idea. Fable itself has been a dying brand with every sequel though, might as well stick the nail in the coffin.

I don't agree with a game downright making you use the product, but adding it as an option to enhance the gameplay is more than welcome.

Well, it's bad right now, but that could change.

For people saying motion controls suck, they suck FOR NOW.

CGI sucked lots and lots of balls in the 70s. Now we have movies practically made of CGI and for the most part they look really good. Hell, video games mostly sucked before Nintendo brought them back.

So just let them figure it out. Sooner or later we'll have the technology to do it right. Instead of throwing it away because it doesn't work yet, let it develop, and if you don't like it, DON'T FUCKING USE IT.

Let me sum this up in internet speak: "RUINED FOREVER!" I can go on about how this statement reeks of PC Elitism, but I won't.

As for the rest: I don't like Kinnect. A Wii knock-off that tries to avoid being CALLED a Wii knock-off by being an Eye Toy knock-off. And the space required to use it is just plain stupid. Shame, considering all the hacks have made it interesting.

Right Sorry :(
I acctually HATE PC Elitists, but it is true. Minecraft IS a game that is for PC, something to do when you have nothing else to do. When it is released for XBox... I can't explain it... it's just a PC game, it SHOULDN'T be sold for Kinnect, it doesn't so it justice.

I have a kinnect and yet, I totally agree with you. I think peter's got the wrong idea about controllers and after the last outing was half finished the way to reach out to fans is not to make a kinect exclusive. I love the series but it's being pretty poorly man-handled of late. If they'ed only hand it over to me, but I'm nobody.

A lot of unsubstantiated statements here? "SHOULD"? Why should it? It's better for notch to make more money and quash his imitators, no? How will you be griefed? Who made you the imprimatur of creativity? Who are you to judge their designs? If a COD player tries it and loves it, more power to them. You shouldn't horde the shit you love. If you love it, share it and let it infect others. It might just make that COD player look at games differently. And for that matter, how is it's reputation going to be damaged?

I completely agreed with you on one point, disagreed on the next, I mean just imagine the ARMS you will get from mining with kinnect!

It doesn't. It won't. I've seen a demo of it without the Kinect.

Besides, speaking purely from a business/profit standpoint, limiting their potential market to just the people who own Kinects would be a colossally stupid idea.

Saying kinect here is akin to saying you worship the devil.... So i predict it well be quite a lopsided vote.

What the heck? Seriously, what the heck? I have no idea what you are saying here. Are you saying that you do not want more people to be playing a good game? What?

OT: Kinect is not taking over good games. I am looking forward to what Kinect will provide in the future. The technology is really amazing, and could change how we experience games. Not to mention that there are actually some interesting looking games coming out for it that could not work on any other console (new Steel Battalion anyone?). So I voted "It is good for games to branch out". Because it is.

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. But in many online games there are those who just play to make the ganme a misery. Now I've seen that there are more people like this in games like CoD than in games like Minecraft. They are usually 10 and swear and swear and just keep making the match a misery. Now if it is put on Kinnect I just can't help get the feeling that they will move over to terrorise the online maps. I took on board what you said, and edited the post. But you must understand what I'm getting at?

Not to mention it would completely alienate the majority of the franchise's long-standing fanbase.

I don't understand how that thing is so popular. Do house wives not already have a Wii?

I mean, did you guys see that Star Wars game? Holy pile of shit, Batman! Yea, that looked totally fun... standing in your living room making sword swing motions for 5 hours. Woooooo! Totally worth $60.
