Kinect and Move...

***Veridian3*** · Jan 10, 2011, 12:39 PM

Whats your opinions on these new devices?

I voted pointless, despite having tried neither. I just don't feel the need to prat about with a motion sensitive controller. Our motions when performing real life tasks are not designed to operate computers, so why make a devise that allows just this?

We already have devices purpose designed to put our inputs into a computer, like mice, keyboards and hand held controllers. Personally, I've never felt held back by any of them in their intended uses.

EDIT: Poll might benefit from the addition of a "Move and Kinect are both great..." option, for non-fanboys :P

I have voted for Pointless.As i only have a PS3 i cant comment on the Kinect.

And why,Every game that makes the most of the Move simply does not attract my interest.Unless the later list improves..

I voted for Kinect is great! Our friends recently got one and it is pretty clever stuff! So much better than a Wii. The Sonic hoverboard game is just awesome, and I managed to get my heartrate up to 175bpm on the included adventures game (I'm not heart attack material btw!).

Only problem with is iis you need a decent sized romm to jump around in, especially if you want a two player game without injuries!

Personally i find the kinect is probably the most superior of all 3 of the consoles technologies..

While i find the i still think Wii's is better in some aspects compared to the PS3's move... and vice versa depending on application and design.... otherwise they are fairly similare...

Personally i think while these technologies are still new.. and many people really detest the idea of actually physically doing something to make their games work, I love the idea. It takes us one step closer to a VR experience.... even the holodeck style gaming in the future... it's progress far as i'm concerned.. and provided that they give us the option when we want.... to just grab a controller and sit to play..... it's all gravy.
