Yahtzee pretty much summed up nicely what I think of Microsoft's Kinect. (or however its spelled)
Pretty much what the Wii already did except you have to flail your arms and legs more.

Are people really still sad enough to do this?puchead said:
Funny review there man, nice. I think that 3D games could be very immersive. Imagine if you are in the middle of a battle and bullets and grenades and all types of projectiles are flying past your ears, and really see the depth of a game. I think 3D gaming could be one of the most immersive ideas ever. Although I do find Rebeccas love song rather creepy.
Motion controllers only work with feedback, as it is impossible in doing this without elastic bands or actually having rubber balls fly out of the screen to knock your teeth out they will fail. As Yahtzee once noted its all very well making gimmicks but sooner or later someone will make the next big thing and you'll be left by the wayside. Also suprised he didn't rip into Deus Ex 3 considering it appears to be a fave of his and its now being resurrected by Square Enix and being a cynical bastard I expect it to be ruined.
About the Playtation move, to paraphrase a lady friend of mine.
Laugh'd at Peter Molyneux by the way, even if I have to like the guy for being British and actually having pride in what he does. Not to mention that Fable is my guilty pleasure.
I highly doubt any of the 'casual' audience are going to pay £100 extra to make a £200 console do that they wanted it to do in the first place. At least that Star Wars game looks intriguing, right?

i don't understand why they put Rebbecca's entire thing in this. a simple mention of it would have been enough
What? No mention of the upcoming silent hill VI? No mention of CoD: Black Ops? Half of what I was looking forward to hearing about what he had to say about them...
Y'know...
I'll bet he caught that.
Still, what's he gonna say that's not going to sound like either a concession or a bitchfest?
ANYHOO...
One of the things I'm trying to catch with these new Nintendo games is not just harping on the fact that they're using the same characters, because they're GOING TO, because it MOVES PRODUCT. What I'm looking for is what they're actually doing with those characters for a gameplay perspective.
For instance, the games I'm looking forward to the most are Metroid: Other M, and Kid Icarus, because, while they're using old and trusted characters, they are going for rather unique gameplay mechanics entirely new to the series, if not gaming at large, not that they had to stretch very far to do something new with Pit, considering his last outing was in four shades of puke green on a Game Boy.
I'll bet he caught that.
He did respond, though on a less public forum: his Twitter. He basically said he's not misogynist, because as opposed to hating just women, he actually hates everyone.Marter said:

I now no longer need explain my feelings towards motion controllers and 3D, cos Yahtzee sumed it up nicely.
I'm worried that Mr.Kojima is goin a bit too far with MGS, he's announcing somthin' new at TGS and i bet it's another game with Metal and Gear in the title.

If team ninja seriously screws up Samus, I'll never forgive them. Metroid II was my first game ever, so the series holds a special place in my heart.
Yeah, and fuck everything about the move and kinect.

Damn it, you stole my response word to word.624 said:
Ah.
Excellent video, Yahtzee, although I reckon you could've mentioned more third-party games.
Honestly, I think his, 'put the action on screen as close to the reaction in my brain' remark explains better than anything I've ever heard why small controls with small movement work best, and I say that recognizing that it had never remotely crossed my mind previously.
And yes, I did watch all the way through the Mayes piece again wondering if he'd have had something to tack on at the end, or edit in during. But, still a good piece so I'm not too disappointed.

Was it necessary to add Rebecca Mayes' entire song to the end of the video? It is not like the thread on her video channel is one of the most discussed lately.
