I've been looking at whether to buy Kinect or not and this comes down to which games will be available.

I particularity like the Kinect Adventures or the dance one.

Are you all getting it and which games would you like to see come onto it?

Also what's happening with that Milo game?

[Johnathon Waples]

I heard Milo was only conceptual and didn't get finished?

[DomOnline]

I'm gonna go halves on one with someone and if its any good we'kl buy another one I personally cant wait, and i think if it works well, Kinect will be the last nail in the PS3's coffin!

I think Milo is coming, its just being kept under wraps at the moment.

Just to let you know, the voice activation/chat stuff has been removed for launch, will be added on after. Not good.

[X360]

Also looking forward to using the menus in the dash with it.

I think Milo is being finished and from what I have seen it looks good.

So any of you got one of those shiny black consoles?

[Darce Commander]

Voice activation is removed at launch? think thats definitely given me the nod to cancel my preorder for it.

Is there a date floating around for when they expect to add voice control?

Shame.

[X360]

Voice control will be there at launch MS say.

[StixxStar666]

Yeeehh CAN NOT WAIT!


sounds


so


awesome


rad!

[Mechanical R]

Read an article for it today, but apparently MS have denied it.

[Darce Commander]

Hmmm, I guess i'll have to wait for abit longer & see what is officially announced.

I just told a mate voice control has been removed & he's cancelled his preorder for it

[HeY jOe]

It wouldn't listened to me anyways, no-one does, not even the cat

The one thing that's putting me off Kinect (aside from the fact that I don't have the room for it) is the big lag they still have. If they don't fix that I don't see it ever getting serious games that will actually sell and not just Wii-style shovelware.

[L0CI]

Personally I'll be waiting to see what support it receives from developers before pitching in. So you lot get ordering otherwise I'll never know!

[ShagDoubt]

Personally, i'll not be adopting.

I can't think of anything less appealing than having to put MORE effort into gaming and don't understand why folks may prefer to wave their arms about in the air (to steer a vehicle for example) rather than wiggle their left thumb around.

LESS is MORE (IMHO) when it comes to game interfaces and when they design a controller that eliminates all bodily movement i'll be happy to jump on board.......ideally by just raising a single eyebrow.

Be interesting to look back at this topic in a year's time when it is established and see how many are using it

Milo got another Public showing at TED earlier this month so its still on its way, It wont be a launch title

As said Voice control IS in at Launch

I dont see the point in this tbh ... I thought that the PS3 and 360 were for gamers a couple years ago ? Clearly the "Gamers" aren't pulling the money in !!

[PunchedAxis]

I think that Kinect will be great for times when you have friends over and want to have a bit of a laugh, same as we do with Lips at the moment. The only time we tend to fire up the Wii in our house is when we have people over.

Voice control will only be available in some countries at launch, see http://www.engadget....ntries-until-2/

[HeY jOe]

This is why I'm sceptic

I can "get" they wanna sell it, but this certainly doesn't, in fact quite the opposite for me.

I grimaced watchin' that, if one of those cars he cruised past was being driven by a controller he wouldn't see 'em for dust......well he would....as they lapped him

[JJ UK]

Personally, if I do get Kinect, I'm going to leave it a while. The way I see it, there's no point buying it on launch day as there will be a limited range of games to buy, plus it will take developers a while to get used to the new technoloy, so it's unlikely the initial line-up of games will wield many classics, if any.

[kyzaa]

Personally i like it, but the fact that they are trying to sell the games at full price when really they are just arcade games is annoying, kinect sports which is basically wii sports isnt worth £40 the same as HAlo Reach lol.
If they put the game prices at a more suitable level like £20-£25, then it would be a lot more appealing. but that said i would much rather play proper games and microsoft focus more on them

so i think it is a miss for me, just a note i hate the idea of a controller/steering wheel less Forza
