Kinect Questions
Rather than hijack the other thread, I thought I'd start a new one dealing with advantages of Kinect......
I guess I'm to old (or dense) to understand what the appeal is supposed to be. I think it's a great idea for kids to be more active when they play, I just don't understand MS's enthusiasm for it being a gamechanger as a manditory device.
I've seen the stuff about acting as a remote control or signing me in automatically. But what are the possibilities where it brings something new to the table in the world of gaming I'm not going to be able to live without? If someone showed something at E3 that fits the bill, I must have missed it.
Skype for x rated fun?
Pics or it didn't happen....
Transmit meaning it went outside the walls of their house over the Internet.
system voice control, video skype, active games, command your troops with words, etc. there are a lot of new functions that will be implemented. I didn't like the look of the first Kinect but this one seems pretty minimal and sleek. It also doesn't move.
Has ability to track up to 6 people I think I remember reading, greatly increased tracking of the articulation of the body, voice recognition, facial recognition, truly there is a huge leap in potential with this hardware over the last.
One has already been made for gaming. The Kinect one is most liekly used to access the OS and features.
Photo-op for pant-less gaming sessions.
You'rs not too dense PDT, more likely you're just old. Parcells feels younger than you and I dont see the appeal either then I raed this..
This is literally the first useful benefit I've heard of with voice command. Parcells used to love real time strategy games (Age of Empires) but these days my dexterity/energy level-LOL can't keep up but with voice command I could quickly send orders...no idea how I could create specific built troops via voice but when created deploying shouldn't be difficult.
I've got a pair of TB Earforce X41's myself. They were built for the 360, but also made periphrials so it could be connected to the PS3 and PC's. I hope they do the same for the XBOne. Otherwise it's buy a new surroundsound headset.
Kurrupt - the mic will not work with the One on any old headset. However, you can still use your old headset with your 360, or sell it towards a One headset.
I'll be keeping my A50's for my 360's.
Guys, I was just kidding, hard as that is to imagine cause I'm ALWAYS soooo serious...
no really, xbone porn!
This was the Kirsten Price nudity test I saw on G4TV. http://www.g4tv.com/videos/49814/Adult-Star-Kirsten-Price-Tests-Kinects-Nude-Filter/
The kinect may not be a major game changer right now but could it possibly be the first step towards something really cool somewhere down the road? Things gotta start somewhere.
Nekkid funtime not withstanding, I find the Kinect a neat piece of tech..gif "107")
My wife enjoys it for dancing games and I've used it a fair amount with exercise training. I'm actually looking forward to the next-gen Kinect to see what it can do. The only issue I have with mine is my play space is kind of limited, so sometimes it doesn't see me properly. The new sensor looks to be much better at seeing you and had a wider viewing angle.
Anybody know the limit to the distance between kinect and box? Xbox will be in cabinet on bottom shelf, kinect on top of cabinet...
No clue on cord length
Hmm...I wonder if there are extensions for it if its not long enough? I had to get an extension cord for my wired controller cos I rock the recliner across the room from the Xbox, and wireless controllers piss me off.
This is my issue for the bedroom, if I ever wanted to get two and replace my 360 there as well - everything is run through the wall to the closet. So I'd have to get an extension (proprietary) cord and run it out to set it on top of the TV every time I wanted to play. Ugh.
what's wrong with wireless controllers?
rechargeables.
they're just as accurate. :P Now for driving wheels that's obviously different.
Input lag, son. Between that, a wired connection, wired headphones, and various monitors, you see all sorts of goodness.
