Well that's if I even bother to get a Kinect. At this point I only have so much money, and 3DS is a higher priority. That's going to be the biggest problem for MS is convincing people to part with their money for Kinect over all the other awesome things out there.

Because I gargled a mouthful of this cum before with the Wii, and you know what? I was fucking wrong. Motion controls in *every* non-Excite Truck situation made the games worse. Every time. The pointer was useful, but only in conjunction with buttons. All the "wave your hands in the air like you just don't care" just ended up being irksome in the long run. I'm not even buying the next freaking Zelda because of its reliance on motion control.Vinterbird said:

How in the world are you going to survive next-gen gaming, Segata? Hell, the next few years of this gen ought to be excruciating for you. Better make peace with it before your hate consumes you and kills your ability to play most console and handheld games.

3 days after starting a Panzer Dragoon trilogy run & wondering why sega won't re-visit the ip, i hear this news. Newsflash there is a god

Handhelds, my friend. I can be reasonably confident they won't go waggle-crazy due to the screen being on the control input.MightyHedgehog said:
And frankly, making peace with it isn't going to help. I have partial paralysis in my left shoulder which prevents me from moving it certain ways accurately and reliably. If games go motion-only, I'll have to stay back with the old stuff.

Different strokes for different folks then. I just can't fathom how anyone can have just incredible hate to any form of input device for a games system. It works, it is fun and it in some cases adds to the experience and delivers something that would not be possible with a traditional controller.

Ah, a shame about that. Well, you'll find solace in handhelds, like you say, but also that traditionally-controlled titles aren't likely to ever be the minority of all console titles (especially if you count DD releases). Even so, I'm sure motion controls will still evolve to suit those with a range of preferences of motion and/or impairments/impediments. After years of experimentation with Wii software and other methods, like camera-based games, there seems to be a better understanding of taking player comfort and physical ability into account in order to ensure optimal enjoyment and broadest appeal. Of course, it's all still down to individual titles. Early days...Segata Sanshiro said:

Where was Rise of Nightmares confirmed as an HotD game? It wasn't in the trailer...

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Japenese developers get Kinect so much better than these Western ones, eh?

Now I can admit it: my questions were half-rhetorical. I'm not really surprised by those announcements... Although Panzer Dragoon and Steel Battalion are kind of surprising. I think watching how this Kinect thing fares on the market will be a lot of fun.
People are actually surprised there are hardcore games planned for Kinect ? It was known for a long time.
Like it's easily understanable that its launch line-up is full casual to ensure good sales at first but also because the casual titles need less time to develop and it's easier to start "low" to see what works and what doesn't with the technology.

Kinect! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No, people are outraged because a seemingly spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon couldKafel said:
(please god no!)
I would buy a 360 for a new PD in an instant, but I have negative desire to pay an extra $150 to flap my arms to control the dragon (plus finger-pointing with Kinect is completely unproven).

Well it's damn hard to complain about a new Panzer Dragoon game, so I'm glad this is being made!
Segata Sanshiro said:
It's worth noting that every conceivable problem Wii has, every single one, is amplified to a billion and then made somehow worse that that.
The lag on products is outrageous at times. The level of efficiency, feedback and precision one will get with their controllers will simply be incalculably superior. So many concepts, so many, are simply impossible without buttons of some kind. So frequently the camera just flat out does not do what it is supposed to, fitzing out or not detecting this or that. Absurd.
Nobody wants to take eighteen step backs in gaming control because a bunch of ridiculous dancing tards want to swing their hips around and wave their hands like a bunch of lonely Nets fans.

I was already thinking about getting Kinect, now I will be getting it for sure. Hopefully this comes out somewhat close to launch. I am still in shock at how amazing MS' TGS was this year.

Honestly one spot where I feel like Kinect could be a real knockout hit could be combining the voice and motion tracking with a traditional 360 controller in hand. For a Panzer Dragoon style game I'd imagine something like using the analog sticks for traditional movement of the aim cursor and dragon and buttons for shooting. Meanwhile head tracking via Kinect would be used for adjusting what area of space around the dragon you are viewing and voice command could be doing some thing like relaying basic commands (formations maybe?) to wingmates.
Sadly this all seems to be a pipe dream. I'm not sure if the tech isn't up to snuff or if it just doesn't make financial sense to use Kinect to add controls on top of normal controllers. But I do know that every single Kinect game so far is Kinect control only without a normal controller in the picture at all. Seems a shame to me, it's not like the crowd that is going to be buying a game by Futatsugi is going to be the type to be scared away by having to use a normal controller.

same here. I bought the saturn for panzer dragoon and it looks like team andromeda has forced my hand once again on an overpriced piece of hardware.
If that isn't Panzer Dragoon, I don't know what it is. Even the dragon attack at the end looks like something straight out of PD. And Orta needs a sequel since the ending was open ended. Plus they need a game to bridge together Saga and Orta. What happened to Edge, Azel, etc. If Saori Kobayashi does the OST, I am sold. Saga has one of the best OSTs in video gamedom.

God damnit. This is going to end with me owning a Kinect, isn't it.
