The Giant Bomb guys think it turned into the amimals game to make it less creepy

Is this not all the same stuff that had our Wiis gathering dust lost somewhere behind our telly? If anything, this will all be good for Nintendo. They built a market for motion control from nothing and, as such, will likely be considered market leaders for quite some time. This and Sony's effort may well expand that market but I think much of that business will still end up going to the Wii as the message seems very much to be - Nintendo got it right, you should want this.

Giant Bomb ROCK!
Kinectimals is nothing to do with Lionhead, I'm sure Milo is still trapped in Kinect hell and you will see him again one day to help him whilst terrifying us all.

[dvdmike]

Its the same tech, maybe they shared

Can finally put you out of your misery now. Kinectimals is from Frontier:

Get with the times Flabio!

So Kinectimals developer is Frontier Games (Lost winds dev) nice little studio, cool coup for them.

In another thread that I hadn't read yet!

(Plus, I knew who'd been working on it since last year... so nyur ;p)

I must admit, that kenictimals looks pretty fun for kids, and I can see it selling, unfortunately I can't see their parents shelling out for a 360 when they already own a Wii.

...unfortunately I can't see their parents shelling out for a 360 when they already own a Wii.

This is the main problem for both Move and Kinect I think. Great for those households that have a PS3/360 already (Assuming they have people in the house that are interested in what they can offer), but those that don't probably have a Wii and aren't interested in anything else.

well, might as well get the obvious out of the way...


Why the feck are they spending time on this when I've been waiting 3/15* years to play The Outsider/Elite IV*???

Remember this is not ALL kids/parents but I have seen some crackers spending ?400+ on Wii like it was pocket money. I want, I want, I want and the wallets actually come out
Nintendo Wii firmly established as a brand, all Nintendo would need to do today is announce a Wii 2/Wii Hi-Fi with backwards compatibility, connects online and hooks upto HD TV and Kinect and Move would have some issues.
Only thing possibly saving Kinect is new tech for console use just as people are getting used to pointers/wii motes, this takes away the need for that.
One thing we all know for sure is MS will market the S*** out of Kinect holidaly/xmas season, if they can spend (stupid) millions on Circ/MTV we all know they will not be afraid to spend making everyone (on earth) know what Kinect is.

Oh David Braben, what have you become? This over Elite a new Elite title?

These aren't tears in my eyes, there's a lot of dust around.

[dvdmike]

Would rather they finished The Outsider

[Dirty Sanchez]

So that mega Lionhead title, the one that was promised, has not been delivered?

How very Peter Molyneux.

[PeteJ]

Will there be an elite version of kinect down the line, one with true 1:1 movement? I just want to call everything Kin' El'.

Kin' El' Sports.
