I always wondered how the game knew how he was going to move before he did. It must have been pretty advanced tech to be able to anticipate movement. It's a shame the retail release didn't have this in it but it makes sense, it would probably have been too pricey for the average consumerIt's the start of years of awful and awful Kinect sections in their E3s, at least we'll always have the memes:
You sure it was 'wasted'?
despite what the revisionists would tell you now, it was a big reason why the 360 continued to outpace the PS3 in North America and quite a number of Kinect games were immensely popular.
BAM!you ever wonder what the bottom of an avatar's shoe look like?
Not only is the myth of Sony telling people to work 2 jobs still persisting, but somehow it's now morphed into 3 jobs.2006: Sony imploding on stage and telling us to work 3 jobs to afford the PS3
Ken said "I will work more hours to afford one." In an interview.Not only is the myth of Sony telling people to work 2 jobs still persisting, but somehow it's now morphed into 3 jobs.
Neither actually happened.
Because it was actually four jobs, but two of them were only part time!Not only is the myth of Sony telling people to work 2 jobs still persisting, but somehow it's now morphed into 3 jobs.
Neither actually happened.
I mean Don Mattrick didn't exactly declare war on the middle class either. It's just hyperbole to reflect paraphrased hilariously bad strategies, Microsoft's being "what you can't afford high speed WiFi or live in an area affluent enough for it? Well we have a product released 8 years ago that you already own that's perfect for you." and Sony's being "we put a shitload of money into this to make it powerful but because we weren't efficient about it we're selling it at a price 50% higher than our competitor. But don't worry, see it as a luxury product that you're proud to own, even if you have to make some significant personal finance decisions in your life to do so"Not only is the myth of Sony telling people to work 2 jobs still persisting, but somehow it's now morphed into 3 jobs.

"Ever wondered what the bottom of an avatars shoe looks like? Well, bam, there it is."
Huh, for some reason I don't remember this event at all. I was never interested in Kinect, so maybe I just didn't watch it or something.
I do, however, remember watching Giant Bomb's entire multi-hour stream when it launched, of them going through and playing all of the games.
Plus, Kinect gave us that Star Wars dace game with the Han Solo song.
Kinect's trajectory from reveal to stagnation to rebirth in unrelated industries truly is an intriguing tale.

It was bizarre as fuck. The fucking robes! It felt like Microsoft thought they had gaming's "Next Big Thing", and it was just a solid camera system. Yeah, the Kinect wound up doing better than most enthusiasts thought it would, but still! With how Microsoft clearly thought about it all, it was like they thought they had the iPhone on their hands or some shit, which is pretty funny.
It's like a Black Mirror episode.Something about this video is so weirdly satisfying to me and I don't really know why. I guess it's the high production value combined with almost nothing in the video even being real? It's like an ARG or something, like this is the first hint of a weird alternate reality that everyone is collectively suspending disbelief about.

Am I dumb if I find the hastily decision, to not making Kinect a mandatory product to XOne, could have been a mistake?
This decision basically killed Kinect. Because less people will have it, and then it is not worth do develope games for it.
With Kinect, Microsoft could differentiate more from Sony and Nintendo and offer unique experiences. If every XOne had a Kinect now, there would be much more apps for it with special Game experiences.
And the R&D for Kinect would have continued. The demos they showed for XOne looked already very promising.
If Kinect would still exist, it would probably be a much better and advanced product with the launch of Series X. And maybe there would also be some interesting apps for business reasons
All I remember about my Kinect was that no room in my house was large enough to use it.
Nope. It was all a lie. Milo was never going to be a retail product.
