Dad, what was Kinect?



A question a child may ask. But not a childish question.

 

[Thorgal]

Simple question. Can I opt to exclusively use the controller and NOT Kinect?



A °As always, that is a decision up to game creators

WE ARE NOT SURE YET.

 

[3rdamention]

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb): Answer: No. It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection.


What does this even mean?

Its a Jedi mindfuck....I guess

 

[The_Monk]

:O :O

Now this is good news.

Come at me two-jobs-and-4k

 

[Einbroch]

Kinect not required to use the Xbone.

Is that new?

 

[jmdajr]

3D BITCHES!

 

[xxracerxx]

Most of the answers:

 

[Yerolo]

Man ,why didnt he reprase the question as

"Will the Xbox one function without the kinect connected"

 

[belvedere]

Holy shit it was posted lol.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Kinect not required to use the Xbone.

Is that new?

It's required.

Just not required for all games.

 

[Omegasquash]

Expected canned questions, and look at that!

 

[Ran rp]

OH COME ON

 

[Pikma]

Why would you have to work on keeping something the same? No-one's asking you to ask the publishers to let us copy our games and share them all over the place. The status quo shouldn't be some lofty, unreachable target.

"We have a fully committed team inside our HQ working really hard to do nothing, hopefully they can accomplish such a complex task by launch day."

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

:O :O

Could be a staged question and controlled leak?

Ah well, good news regardless.

 

[malfcn]

They have to be creating these questions for themselves. Definitely cherry picking.

 

[randomkid]

Trying to figure out why this is actually making me laugh out loud. Of course this poor guy is in a terrible position but something about abruptly posting the controller pic and then barely grammatical non-responses after long pauses is really hilarious!

 

[FiveMinuteHero]

I want to know if Xbox LIVE will become available worldwide or just to a bunch of countries as it is now

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Answer: No. It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection.

It doesn't always require power, but it does need to be plugged in.
wtf?

 

[RedNumberFive]

Mr. Major Nelson, do you have a soul?

 

[LuuKyK]

Kinect not required to use the Xbone.

Is that new?

I think he means to actually play the game, as in control the character etc, not if Kinect must be on or off.

 

[Partition]

Kinect not required to use the Xbone.

Is that new?

No, the question was referring to games. As of now you still need to have Kinect plugged in according to Phil Harrison.

 

[snack]

Q: Hey Leh-wee, does the One do this, and that?

A: Buy One to find out!

 

[Werhil]

Their goal is to have it work essentially the same way every other console ever (including their own) has worked? Quite a lofty aspiration, but with some hard work and dedication, they just may be able to pull it off.

 

[shira]

wooo blame space >>> timedog

 

[BadTaste]

I posted a question under "Spetsio", please show up.

 

[bidguy]

Holy shit it was posted lol.

the fuck man why didnt you word it correctly

 

[The Faceless Master]

ugh, BC question? really? REALLY?

 

[Einbroch]

It's required.

Just not required for all games.

So it's required to be plugged in.

Then, what's the point of the question an ans-

Nevermind.

 

[anexanhume]

Holy shit it was posted lol.

You had one job.

 

[sestrugen]

Man ,why didnt he reprase the question as

"Will the Xbox one function without the kinect connected"

I asked this but I am sure it will be ignored.

 

[madmook]

Guessing 4k support will be like how the 360 can upscale to 1080p, despite that not being the actual rendered resolution.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm starting to think Major Nelson has Kinect functionality built into him.

 

[Duxxy3]

 

[L1NETT]

Holy shit it was posted lol.

You and blamespace.

Dat Gaf industry influence.

 

[AlexMogil]

whups look at the time, bye

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Could be a staged question and controlled leak?

Ah well, good news regardless.

VG247 were reporting on it last night.

 

[SMT]

4k probably at 30fps.

 

[Foffy]

Mr. Major Nelson, do you have a soul?

We know the answer. It's found within how most corporations work.

Spoiler

He doesn't have one.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Ever since the conference ended yesterday it has been nothing short of a PR/media handling NIGHTMARE. Holy shit MS. I still can't wrap my head around how poorly they're handling this.
And Major now? Damn. I really like the guy, but this is just pathetic.

 

[Robso]

At last, a question where he's put on the spot. BC.

 

[Boy Wander]

It just seems to me like MS thought to themselves, "Shit, we're not ready yet but we need to get the console out this year" and brought forward the launch announcement without having worked out any of the key details that people were bound to be asking as soon as all of the DRM stuff kicked off.

 

[Spongebob]

They are renaming the buttons? oh shit

Guide and Menu according Ekim.

 

[Various Artists]

Man ,why didnt he reprase the question as

"Will the Xbox one function without the kinect connected"

Its pretty much already known, I am sure there is a question phrased that way.

Answer :XBONE will not work with out a connected Kinect. It probably also wont work if it cant see you (no turning it to a wall) I believe it has to associate your face with a controller to log you into a profile.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Could be a staged question and controlled leak?

Ah well, good news regardless.

That's what I'm thinking, and just conveniently happens to be asked at the end of the chat session.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

VG247 were reporting on it last night.

Link?

 

[dab0ne]

Holy shit it was posted lol.

nice, but I don't think he read it as you intended.

 

[ginger ninja]

First post was SO wrong....

he meant so bad it's good

 

[ekim]

Guide and Menu according Ekim.

View and Menu. That's what they call them in the documentation.


According to SuperDae

 

[Kikarian]

People are asking questions we already know the answer to.

 

[Dead Prince]
