Kinect & Move

how many of yous have actually used the playstation move? its soo much better than the wii! it tracks your motion much better, i think it is better than kinect will be, but ofc i am playstation user.
I have not used it.. But even if it tracks better then Wii.. It is still the same concept and I dont see those kind of games catching on with PS3 users more then the target audience of the Wii. I think kinect shows more promise over time.. But again I have not used either just seen demos of them. As someone said before.. kinect seems bad ass for just navigating menus all "Minority Report" style, but not for that price tag. :(

Picked up Move (already had a camera), it's fantastic. WAY better than Wii/Wiimote. It's really accurate, very responsive and works very well indeed. The initial offering of games is very good too.

I have Tumble, Flightcontroller HD, Start The Party, HeavyRain, M.A.G and SportsChampions, and I have also played the demos of Tigerwoods and EchoChromeII.

M.A.G is VERY impressive demonstration of what the tech can do. Also after playing FlightController, I can see how the tech can easilly be adopted to point and click games (Command and Conquer/Sam and Max etc.etc..)

As for Kinnect, not interested at all. Nice idea, but WAY to limited. Saw a demo of Forza, and they had to take the brake and accelerator pedals away, so it's now just a steering game... Shouldn't they fir the controller to the game, rather than bodging the game to the controller?

I got the Move at the end of august before it came out and loved it. I found it 100x better than the Wii. It had more weight to it and you can really tell that its more accurate. As for Kinect I feel that it is way to much like the Eye Toy from Playstation 2 and that failed miserably. I think Microsoft might be jumping the gun on full body motion detection, whenever I play any games I want something to hold that is controlling it. Holding nothing and controlling the game still feels awkward and I hated it when the Eye Toy came out.

glorified WII....... so it reacts better... still, its wii motes with 2 obnoxiously bright BALLS on them.

very intuitive!! at least MS is going beyond this and eliminating remotes...

my question to ya'll who bought these is, honestly how much replay value is there?? great party games, yes! but youre really going to sit down by yourself and say, "lets play some boccee ball AGAINST THE COMPUTER!!!"

now compare those times with you sitting down and finishing your 3 season of Madden, or NHL, MLB, FIFA...... hell even MW2 has amazazing replay value

Funny how people have selective memories here...

Kinect is a PS2 EyeToy Ripoff. The only difference is that Kinnect has pushed itself beyond the realms of what consumers will consider working...

Watch the Kinect disaster unfold. This close to Kinect launch, there are endless reports of it having problems with lighting, wallpaper colour/patterns,
the size of rooms, the colour of players skin, the colours of their clothes, their height/weight and if they are sitting or standing.

Thats before you even get into things like games having to be badly hacked to work with it, like having to remove Forza3 braking and acceleration so it's now just a steering game....

Oh Dear....

go figure, this guy chipping in on this thread, who would've seen that coming...

Kinect is a heck of a lot more than the eye toy ever was, and if you want to talk about blatant rip offs please explain the wii remote colored black with PS buttons assigned to it and a lightbulb stuck on the end...

Anyone that's actually USED a Playstation will move, will know several things.

1/ it's a million times more accurate and responsive than the Wiimote ever was
2/ the games are much better too.
3/ it can properly track in 3 dimensions.

Are you REALLY dumb enough to judge something on what it LOOKS like, rather than how it PERFORMS? It may look like a Wiimote, but it certainly does not perform like one.
