Hmmm.

Ok, Oprah might change things.

She is like the leader of middle class american moms, whatever book she is reading shoots up the charts, what ever she is wearing sells well now shes had kinect on the show i can see it doing daft numbers in usa now.

But she's just given away half their stock!

Internet: Kinect is screwed.

Microsoft: Mmmmm. Oprah hold this for a moment. And take this sackful of cash.

Oprah: OK.

Internet:

[Mr. Gerbik]

Well at least we know where that 500 million went!

Kinectimals site:

Lots more than has been shown before...

Couldn't resist this though

[Varnsen]

edit> oh. you put that in there.

[MDY]

Sorry.. Practically begged to be 'shopped in..

I've just realised what weirds me out about Kinectimals: facial expressions. Cats trick you into thinking they're smiling, they don't actually do it.

[Capwn]

Ooooh yeeeeah. I made those staircases!!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

They're almost as good as my Killzone trees.

[Mr. Gerbik]

I wish I was joking when I say that those stairs are probably the best thing about the fucking game

Somehow when Microsoft attempts to do cute, it ends up sinister.

[SozzlyJoe]

Ice world - CHECK

Forest world - CHECK

Desert world - CHECK

All we are missing is lava world!

It's the Milo Effect Touch.

As I've paid absolutely no attention to this Animal game, tell me, do the animals age or are you stuck with a creepy kitten/puppy/whatever forever? If they do age, can they die? Could I switch the 360 on one morning to be presented with a dead kitty covered in maggots?

I feel this is vital information on whether I buy Kinect.

[Alex W.]

I'm more interested that there seems to be a rabbit in front of those stairs. Does that tiger understand "KILL?"

[Capwn]

Nope, the way this game has been marketed so far seems to be giving the impression that it's a sim/pet game. For one thing it has a story that you progress through the game to the 'end'. It's mainly mini games where you can naturally choose to play and bond with your tiger before moving onto the next game. Of course the whole playing/bonding thing isn't really that critical but am sure the right audience will love that, actually even us lot will enjoy playing/bonding as it's one of the more ambitious kinect launch games out there that demonstrates what the kinect is currently capable of.

I honestly think dancecentral, kinectimals and sports are the top 3 titles to showcase kinect.

[Mr. Gerbik]

It's just a dumbed down version of Seaman with a gimmicky controller slapped on top isn't it?

[Meh]

Well, obviously.

[Dimahoo]

First Forza, now Pawsa.

[Christopher]

I sure hope Lost Winds doesn't end up a Kinect exclusive, I am still at a loss as to why they haven't ported the first two to PSN with Move support.

This thread has made me realise that I really, really want a Woody RC car.

What the fuck was that?

Women going hysterical over something that they probably have no idea about or cheering because they dont have to pay $299 for little timmy's christmas present now

[Corleth the Fey]

I watched that Oprah video with the sound down. It looked like some kind of fucking religious experience for them. Like Oprah healed them or something.

[NecroMorrius]

Well, they've got to make up the numbers for their press releases somehow. That's another 300 or so they can cross off.

[Roboplegic Wrongcock]

Looks like they finalised those ads that leaked a couple of weeks ago. They look much slicker,female voiceover is better and the games look fun.

These will probably be on TV non stop up until December 25th.

[Meh]

Fuck off, Kinect.

[Blue]

Everything about it is cringeworthy.

In the first ad she says "you don't have to do anything you don't already do" as the guy is breakdancing on the floor ffs.

This should be epic.

I doubt it'll actually do MS any harm- they launched an entire console as a massive lossmaking exercise, FFS- but I do think handfree control is a great idea, and if it goes all VirtualBoy on us we'll have decades to wait for anyone else to try it again.
