Sly Reflex Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Nothing for us people then. I hope this shit fades fast, I'm not looking forward to the day where each week is just inundated with this shit software with little value in the currency that is fun.

DANGERMAN Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Nothing for us people then. What about Dance Central? Dance Central is amazing, Dance Central is the best game ever. Even though we rabidly mocked Dance Central when it was called Just Dance on the Wii, now Dance Central is on our favourite console and made by our favourite developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I never mocked Just Dance, I remember me and Jim speaking about it on one of the podcasts and we were both intrigued to give it a try. I like mini-game collections but that line-up doesn't fill me with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just Dance is crap as a game. I got it for my little un (and me) to play - its a good idea implemented badly. There is no progression - everything is unlocked when you start. All you do is select a song and dance. The 'move' detection is garbage - you can do the same move again and again and it will give you an Excellent (or whatever) one time and then not register the move the next time. It also marks you when you arent even moving the Wiimote. But it is fun. I do a mean Womaniser. I expect the Kinect one will be a laugh too.

Hendo Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I do a mean Womaniser. It better have a good dance routine, the lyrics are toss. Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer, Oh womanizer, oh you're a womanizer, baby You you you are, you you you are Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer (womanizer) Genius.

HandsomeDead Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't think I've ever made fun of Dance Central, I'd be well up for it. Just Dance isn't a well made game, but I've played it and had a right laugh, especially combined with a camera phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 just to be clear, I wasn't aiming that at anyone in particular, just the way the gaming populace seem to nearly rip their cocks of tugging over it, yet fell over each other trying to be the first to slate Just Dance when that was riding high in the charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinn888 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 So Kinect is just round the corner, is anyone going to be picking this up? Im still 50/50 and need some swaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelShadedDreams Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Personal verdict: Kinect is awesome! Played it for ages last night and it's seriously impressive, much better than a wii. It's going to be huge this Christmas, like the Wii was when that came out. I have nothing but prais for it. I was hyped when I first heard about the tech but after E3 I was sceptical, and now my faith has been restored. Kinect adventures isn't great so it's worth getting Kinect sports for good ol' family fun. Kinectimals would be a good game if it didn't have this annoying fairy thing that won't shut up, but Dance central is the game you want it for. Navigating the menus on that feels so good. I wouldn't bother buying it if you're just going to play it in your bedroom though (unless it's massive), you NEED a living room. The Wii is dead now, this will be the new family game device of choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 The Wii is dead now, this will be the new family game device of choice I think it's going to be massively helped by there not being another new console out for christmas. If the 3DS was launching now kinect would be fucked. I dont really buy that this will have anything close to the Wii's level of success, or that the Wii is dead. Take my parents for example, or my sister, they aren't going to buy a 360 to then buy a kinect for the same price, not a chance, especially as there is nothing in the software lineup that would tempt them. It may have its own Wii Sports, but it's not got the same appeal of Nintendo's version, partly down to how it looks, but more because now it's just yet another Wii Sports clone. Add to that there's very little on there that seems worth playing, Nintendo are bigging up Mario, Kinect has nothing that can compare to it in brand terms. I also think that there's some games the Wii will just do better than Kinect, same with Move, there's some games where having something to hold is going to be much better. That said I'll be surprised it it bombs, I think it'll do ok. But there's enough negativity around it (like how much room it needs, the price, and the lackluster line up) that it's not going to replace the Wii Personally I'd like one to try the tech, even though it'd be quicker to use a pointer or a stick to navigate menus, it's still geekily appealing. I might end up cracking when the Panzer Dragoon pseudo-sequel arrives, until then though it looks like a lot of stuff I wouldn't buy on the wii (that said I really hope the Rez sequel does have move support, pointer controls with that would be ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I will be buying it for my Bedroom however, My bedroom is rather big but alot of jumping may not be a wise idea Hmm.. I too was hyped from the beginning but felt kinda let down by E3 and the lineup a lil bit but games like fighters uncaged still have my intrigued. Just that i can get it for £125 with 2 games with my staff discount and nectar points is quite tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Just that i can get it for £125 with 2 games with my staff discount and nectar points is quite tempting. TBH its exactly that that puts me off. £125 is a lot to splash out, even more for those without any discount options. Nothing I've seen has me interested whatsoever. The bit I saw of Dance Central looks cool, but nothing else has me tempted. Also I think declaring the death of the wii is somewhat premature. The fact that the wii is such a massively established family brand, not just a console means that there is no chance (IMO) that kinect will replace it any time in the near future. At the moment it still feels more like a gimmick from a company trying to tap into the family market. I'm sure the tech involved is very clever and innovative and all. What bugs me is both Microsoft and Sony and pitching these new controllers as "changing the way you play games" and a "gaming revolution" when the wii has been doing the same as the move for about 5 years now, and motion controlled games have been about in some form for about 10 years. The whole thing just feels like desperate catch up because they want a slice of this newly discovered family market. </soapbox> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I kinda want one of these now, mainly for the Christmas lolz that would certainly occur. I watched a fair bit if the Giant Bomb coverage of Kinect games the other day, and some of them seemed genuinely good. A better line up than I was expecting. I do think it's overpriced, though.

hinn888 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 This is different by not having anything to hold. Its alot better than having a wiimote and nunchuck. Plus voice recognition. I can see it being pretty well used in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
