    • It's about time. However, MS did say they wouldn't be doing this. This is why I've learned not to trust mega corporation that are using their vast supply of money to build a Death-Ray on the moon.

      this is retarded. see, that's a literal 3/8ths loss in power/ability. it means no voice commands for gaming, no voice controls and no gesture controls. The UI is designed for voice or motion navigation. imagine instead of a button, you just say "reloading" or "drop/pick up item" or "cast magic" or making gestures for that action you wanted to perform. that could have been possible in all games instead of just a few games. [quote]bu nu games 4 it/change is scary[/quote] well of course, it's still in launch wave and there are no true next gen games yet, you have to wait for 8th gen games to go mainstream and the death of the old systems forcing people to the new consoles before devs really start to pick it up. [quote]but we hatez it, bagginses[/quote]well, smeagol, if you used it instead of bashing it, it's actually quite nice. DR3 uses it for voice activated menu navigation, bringing up screens, item management and helping during boss fights. edit: oh, and interacting with zombies and gestures to break free instead of random button mashing.

            • I actually find it hard without the kinect. It's so much easier to just say what I want and it happening. It's so much faster than without it. Because I brought my xbox to my friends house without the kinect and it was actually kind of hard to use without it. You really do need it. It works great and and it's so much easier.

            • The future of remote-less gaming is now dead. Kinect allowed devs to spend extra time creating features to add with their games, knowingly well that everybody will use it since they had the Kinect. With less people having a Kinect then devs are going to be less inclined to make these added features Here I was just waiting a game to utilize similar , and advanced, voice commands like Endwar, without all the stupid button pressing

            • Xbox has a chance to catch up to PS4 now, with the $50 price difference. Although ultimately, I see this as the "beginning of the end" for Xbox.

                [quote]Playstation 4 just lost,[/quote] If anything, MS and consumers just lost. MS lost because they spent the same amount of money as Sony on Kinect 1.0 only to have it bomb just as badly as Move. Arguably worse because Move's setup at least worked with a couple of big name FPSers. With XB1 MS thought to break the cycle that left Kinect gathering dust by forcing everyone to get it, thus removing the hard choice that developers would have to make in developing for Kinect: Namely that the incredibly small install base with Kinect aren't going to buy many games, thus developers won't throw money at something they won't get a return out of, thus reaffirming people's decisions not to buy the Kinect because it doesn't have games and what games it does have are horrible. For MS they just wasted a bunch of more money with Kinect 2.0 because they spent that time forcing the bundle and having it impact sales and now that they said they are going to ditch it. Their laying their DRM policies bare without offering the incredible sales that Steam's setup has really did them in and doomed Kinect 2.0 even more so. For consumers there's nothing different about this console generation aside from UIs and upgraded specs. Nothing to push boundaries in new areas. I suppose that trying to push the future as motion gaming was ultimately the problem though. This was MS and Sony trying to hop on the gravy train that was the Wii, after it already left the station, without understanding why the Wii sold so well. And it wasn't due to motion gaming. Also: I just shit a brick and I bet none of you are going to read it or reply. Ungrateful -blam!-s.

                        Both systems are great. I might consider buying it now, although I will have a hard time justifying spending another 400 on a gaming console when I already have one, especially since I want a gaming computer.

                        • >Lost Firstly, if this is a war, PS4 is winning as it has the most sales Secondly, you're a retard if you think think this is a war. What, you actually think anyone else's opinion matters? The only thing what matters is what YOU think of the console, and if YOU are having fun with it.
