MS: Hardcore will buy Kinect first

but he is not a beast!

lol

“I think we know that hardcore gamers will be the first to go out and buy it, as they are with any product,”

LOL, to play what ?

“I think we know that hardcore gamers will be the first to go out and buy it…”

Why, oh why, would they do that?

im the hardcore xbox fanboy and i WILL NOT buy this at launch. if they come out with a bundle with the xbox s and this for 399$. its a maybe, a big maybe

“I think we know that hardcore gamers will be the first to go out and buy it, as they are with any product”

That COULD happen, but not with the games shown so far, since MS’s focus is obviously to enter the space dominated by the Wii.

However, if between now and launch they show games that uses Kinect in a way that excites hardcore gamers (and imo, that requires Kinect to be used to ADD to the standard controller, not replace it), then perhaps the hardcore will buy Kinect in significant numbers.

@50 I was only talking about animals in games. You would have had a better argument if you said LINK not Gordon.

I consider myself hardcore and I have ZERO interest in this product. I figure it will end up like my eyetoy, neato for a demo but no way will I play a real game with this thing. I need accuracy in my controls and NO motion controller can replicate what a standard controller can do. (Ok, I did get tiger on the PS3 just to play it with the Move, but that’s the only game) The rest is all cheese.

I believe the first two Banjo games had enough challenge, charisma, and depth to transcend experience levels. I have no clue what BK3 was about, but that create-a-vehicle stuff did not instill confidence.

DaMan, you earned your own grief with that comment. Using GoW in a statement that doesn’t end with “is awesome!” is foolish enough, but to deny its core appeal, in any form, is prayer to be flamed.

Core 360 will eventually buy Kinect, killer app or no. In an environment where peer-pressure is not only prevalent, but encouraged, you’ll soon feel as if you have no other alternative sooner or later.

ah, the Galactic one with his nasty tastes in gaming again. I’m not surprised you enjoy GoW.

I don’t have any grief to deal with really, you fail at getting the tone of my post once more. it’s the sensitive dumbass fanboys with broken sarcasm detectors that are sad.

Weren’t the hardcore gamers complaining about the Microsoft Press Conference, because of Kinect? Micro$oft FAIL

Err, OK.

Lets be clear, again: I couldn’t care less who likes GoW. However, common sense should tell you that if the fanboys are gathering, don’t swat their beehive.

You deliberately chose a controversial subject to go at (A PS3 game in a 360 thread) and was shocked at the responses. Everyone with sense saw that post, shook their head, and moved on. I see my one mistake was, again. telling you where you went wrong as to prevent similar situations in the future. You rather attack than say ‘Ahh, gotcha.”; All I see in that is someone looking for a fight (I’ll just assume it was TEA, as he is scapegoated as much as he instigates) and another person to back you up. It backfired, sorry.

Don’t be mistaken in thinking I didn’t “see” your point, which is why I posted as much; DMC is just as easy to type as GoW. If you enjoy the bickering, by all means, continue laying out the tasty, tasty fanboy bait.

Sorry, but hardcore gamers consider any sort of input delay whatsoever to be a bad thing.

Why would they look at the E3 demo lagfest and possibly want one??

lets get this out there so that you all know.
There isnt any one person at vg247 who is as much of a hardcore gamer as i (so i’d like to think…well, just pointing out how hardcore i am.)
Now that we have that straightened out let me say that i am not buying Kinect. When i see Kinect actually do what these MS employees keep speaking of, then i might buy it. When i see core games being played with precision , then i might just go out and buy it, as long as its $100 or less.

@62 ah, so now we are the rational one. you could’ve said what you just did from the start then. if you make dick jokes the reaction is going to be similar.

GoW, and not Dmc was chosen because I was making fun of theevil’s bias. I wasn’t shocked at the responses, I was surprised at people reading what they want to read, again and again.

I agree with his statment. I really believe hardcore gamers will buy Kinect first.

What are you talking about? Dick jokes? I guess reading into things goes both ways.

Speaking of, because you were going after TEA (Seriously, why pick a fight with him?) I wrote what I did. You don’t get propers for goading him into a situation where people will bad mouth him. Hes a big boy; If, and when, he decides to start a flame war, he will do so of his own accord and the backlash will be his alone to bear. No one wants to see a trapped, angered TEA, no one with common sense.

I’ll leave you be from now onward. You can’t take criticism, after two meetings with you I get that now. Realize, though, that no one is above it. Something about fingers and pointing goes with that, I think.

uh, no a better question would be ‘what are you talking about’?

because, I was simply talking to him this time actually. it was all funny in fact, when suddenly some of the guys took offence, while misunderstanding me at the same time. then you appeared, failing to see that I wasn’t even fighting with him and posted that comment of yours.

you see, I’m not a fan of critics that validate their points they way you do. back then and this time again.

and, Galactic_Barrett while you’re at it. why not criticize me for turning this into a potential bestiality debate by saying that Half Life protagonist wasn’t a beast?

seriously, what the hell was I thinking? I could’ve offended someone here.

That would only cause problems with PETA. I’ll let them handle that.

Don’t do the strawman thing. That won’t work ^.^b

uh, no.

what I ‘m saying is that (believe it or not) I was in fact simply talking with TEA. today, there was no conflict between me and him, and this time he did nothing of what you’ve described earlier, he wasn’t going to either.

funny really, it wasn’t even him who misinterpret my comment. it were other people, and after that I explained it. then you appeared.

frankly I think that he can be funny at times, if he doesn’t go overboard.

microsoft is an amazing company….i’ll get (knict) no doubt
