Playstation Move vs Xbox360 Kinect

[Fuhrër-Z]

Get the Move, it'll cater more to hardcore gamers and already supports Heavy Rain (doooppeee). The tech is actually more precise, but we'll have to see what gets done with it. I actually don't have too much faith in Kinect, it's going after the Wii market, whereas Sony is going for the actual gamer market. Don't get me wrong, they're both Wii 2.0 and either one could go down as just a gimmick, but I see the Move getting the occasional killer app, due to Sony's first party studios.

i agree, nintendo wii has proven that hardcore gaming is possible in the same tech with cod4, metroid and goldeneye.. Sony played it safe with the Move

its Microsoft who is gambling on Kinect.

iv watched all the reviews for kinect's software lineup and every single one of them is a fail other than Dance Central, which the tech is the perfect fit for it

Gametrailers said that even with Kinect Sports, the camera can barely recognize what your doing and they find Joy Ride a nuisance since you have to stand up in order for the kinect to recognize your movement and awkard that your not holding any physical object... I dont know how microsoft will implement hardcore gaming on this tech, i cant imagine playing GoW3 on this.....

keep in mind that Rare made the Kinect branded games.

i just bought one for the sake of having one ~ i have both the move and the kinect.. even though the move is identical to the wii.. it tracks movement a lot better than the kinect =\ and even though preorders are sold out.. the kinect are in store everywhere

ok here is my take on the kinect, i picked up the 360 250gb bundle last night.

Navigating the menus is completely awkward, just because anyone is completely used to having a controller to use with. to click through the menus, you hover your "hand cursor" over a button and wait for circle timer to go through. Kinect requires you to stand up whenever you using it

you can use voice command for 360 dashboard but it takes 4 to 5 seconds for the kinect to analyze anything what you say. its completely impractical and i dont know why anyone would drop their controllers for this

however, IMO, i think the kinect tracks your movement more accurate than the Move.

lol at Kinect Adventures, your avatar detects every limbs and fingers on screen, you can give your tv the finger and it will show. The dodgeball game is fun, it actually makes you sweat because your using your body, from jumping to dodging etc . Dance Central is really good, its developed by Harmonix, it has the same scoring Star System as Rockband

its sad to say this but i would say Dance Central is its killer app right now. Gf woke up early in the morning today just so she can dance to poker face again

also sometimes Kinect cant recognize 2 or 3 people on screen like last night buddies were sitting on couch while someone is playing in front. i had like 7 friends over and we had to stay off screen.

It is a novelty tech but the Wow and Fun Factor is definitely there and had better experience compared to when i first tried the wii back in '06. As long as you have couple of friends over, it is fun and worth it.

im just skeptical what Microsoft going to do with Kinect beyond the holidays/next year, they can only release so much mini, sports or party games.
The Move has more potential for creativity in games

I have to agree that after the mini/sports/party games there isnt much left to do with it and Sony realized this with the initial release of the Eye Toy during the PS2 days which is likely why they went with a controller add on in addition to the newer eye-toy.
