Kinect

[parsnips82]

Spent a few hours yesterday testing the Kinect at home, due to legal reasons i can't disclose any specific details about it but what i can tell you is that it's bloody brilliant!!!!!!!

As far as I am concerned it is well worth the £130 release date asking price and I think it will surpass a lot of people’s expectations as it did mine.

Come the 10/11/2010, Wii and Playstation Move owners move aside because the Kinect is miles better than both!

Sorry fella but i had to sign a Microsoft agreement promising not to say anything or else they would chop my bollocks off and i must say I'm pretty fond of my bollocks!

As for as the 'Review' title, I reviewed it as 'bloody brilliant!!!!!!!'

So no input lag ?, as its been suggested.

The game disk that comes with the Kinect was spot on, no lag what so ever and i was extremely impressed!
I MAY HAVE played a couple of beta's that had a couple of lag issues but they are 'beta' versions so i guess that is to be expected. Overall far more precise than the Wii. The Playstation move is pretty damn good with precision but the advantage the kinect has is that you don't have to hold any controllers with big daft balls on the end of them!

Is that the ball chopping bell I hear ringing?

It must be the beta's that a colleague of mine has played. He's part of the Microsoft beta team and gets to test loads of Microsoft products before they go live. He really wasn't impressed with the technology, says it had lots of lag and the games were not appealing. He would have given it away by now but the hardware has been locked to his machine.

Is that really a advantage? What about the lack of buttons and the fact MS recommend that you stand whilst playing?

[russbeer]

so was this in a room with furniture or any bits and pieces lying around or was it an empty space?

I'd read you need to have a big clear space for it?

[parsnips82]

I think if people enjoy the Wii and the PS Move they will LOVE this, like i say the disc you get with the Kinect is spot on and i had absolutely no issues with lag or anything like that, only the beta's i may have played.
To say the games aren't very appealing, well i suppose each to their own on that one.

As for things furniture and things laying around, Glass tables can be a problem because of reflection issues but things like couches and ornaments cause no issues at all from my experience.
No real issues with the space either.

Looks shit to me. How the hell can you play a game without buttons?

Have you ever played a football game? There's a bit more to it then just "booting it"
