Halo has Master Chief, aka John, who wakes up in the beginning of Halo 1 and Halo 4, but that's all I can think of.

I'm Banjo Kazooie 1, in the file select menu you can see Banjo sleeping in his bed. So.........

Less than 200 posts to thread close down and I will see you guys only after the show!

See you on the other side. Baconsammy, this one's for you!

Not so much the visual fidelity angle as in the "are people going to boot this thing up every single time they game five years from now" angle.

Aside from 'immersion' being only slightly better than 'visceral' when it comes to gaming rhetoric, I don't exactly buy the unadulterated claim that just because you get some extra images broadcast on your wall that you are somehow more immersed. I think all of the justification for the device comes from its longevity.

More visual data about your game = more immersion into the game. It really is that simple. Or they could add the wobble effect and reinforce the effect certain game play elements like explosions or bass hits in music based games.

From where do we continue once this thread has become locked?

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Yeah FUCK immersion. Immersion sucks!

Don't you find videogames immersive enough already, do you really need coloured strobe lighting flying around in your peripheral vision to add to that?

If I'm playing a game people could pretty much steal all my furniture, apart from my TV and the chair I'm sitting on, and I probably wouldn't notice.

Edit: Actually, you've answered this further on. Yes you do.

Racing game confirmed.

 

[rdrr gnr]

You should watch the concept video again. There's not a single moment suggesting you would use kinect in a shooter, for example. The most "traditional" game portrayed in there was the racing game (with the tire changing minigame), everything else was a kid fighting or stomping like a monster, a quiz game, sport minigames, a virtual dressing room, and voice control for videos.

Besides, I don't see how motion control games wouldn't qualify as "modern gaming". A game like Just Dance, Guitar Hero or Wii Sports is probably more modern than your regular FPS, which is from a genre that has been popular since the 90s.

Why relegate it to the initial prototype video? I used modern because I borrowed your phrasing. Of course those games are modern but any one would be able to deduce that Just Dance and Wii Sports fall into a very different category than a FPS. I'm not saying Kinect was ever meant to control the gun in a FPS game -- what I'm saying is what functions it ultimately fulfilled in core games were lackluster. It didn't necessarily make games "better" just different at the very best. And that had less to do with the positioning of the device than its inherent capability/fidelity.

COD: Ghost and a racer are all but confirmed. Need Alan Wake 2 and one of Banjo Kazooie/Perfect Dark Human Revolution and I will say the reveal was worth the wait.

It reminds me of Genesis x SNES days. Just two gigantic consoles just constantly gunning for each other! The competition is going to benefit us a ton.

 

[shandy706]

will illumiroom even work in a small space? seems like you need a kinect sized space to get that shit to work properly.

Seeing that Kinect 2.0 works with like 4 1/2 feet(1.5m) of space...you must be imagining one tiny room.

McLaren F1 simulator ported to Xbox? /dream

 

[statham]

So... PGR? Forza?

which ever it is, we win.

 

[cyberheater]

I see that Sony have released a PS4 teaser video. I hope after tomorrow we'll see a shed load of new media and stuff from MS from now on.

Also. At last. Devs will be able to talk about Xbox 720. Hopefully we'll get some really juicy stuff on how 720 compares to PS4.

That's what I was thinking, no GIFs then a truckload appear.

I'm so psyched for this! I can't wait to see what a next-gen Forza or PGR looks like!

Yup. Sony just released a teaser for the new PS4 just ahead of the event tomorrow and you just know someone from Microsoft will make a sarcastic comment when they show the new Xbox inside the tent. People often say what it looks like doesn't really matter but it does. It gives consumers something they can identify with. That is much more marketable than the specs.
