This looks horrid

 

[Xater]

"Peter Moleneux is going nuts!" :lol

"Muh soccer balls!"

This also looks dumb.

 

[Raide]

As a really simple game of football, that actually looks ok. I wonder how long till Fifa has Kinect support? :lol

 

[Zombie James]

Couldn't they have done something better with the goaltending? It's just someone standing there waving their arms.

 

[VAIL]

When they were playing with the crowd shows that Rare still has some magic left.

really?!!? :lol

This looks fucking terrible, slowest soccer match ever.

yeah, i had no idea they were trying to make a simple full game of soccer. i thought it was just a shoot-out style mini game. soccer looks cool!

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

Well, soccer looks pretty lame.

 

[slaughterking]

I think Kinect looks rather solid tech-wise. The lag is something you notice on a video like this, but it's probably not much of an issue while playing yourself. The games are very much illustrating, though, that camera based motion control is not really meant for playing games. These games look so incredibly bad it's not even funny. The best thing you can do with Kinect is probably using your hand as a pointer thingy like Child of Eden does.

Ryan is doing a good impression of Almunia in goal.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I have played it, it's pretty fun by yourself, but the space issue comes up for 2 player. By yourself it is pretty easy to block shots, etc.

Like playing 1-touch football. Any other football motion games out there?

I meant the part when Jeff was waving to crowd and they responded, and you could make them do the wave.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Turn based soccer? I lol'd

 

[Xater]

The quality of the stream just went down. I guess to many people are watching?

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Rare purchase redeemed.

And by redeemed, I mean it was ridiculously stupid.

 

[Totobeni]

... goal kick after the goal

one of the three lions just died because of this , shame on you Rare.

 

[soujiro_seta]

soccer game looks boring :/

I know full well what you meant, and it was hardly "magical"

Games fault or players fault ?

 

[Zombie James]

Games fault or players fault ?

I have no idea. It just looks so stiff and slow.

 

[WillyFive]

Well fine then.

 

[Lunchbox]

anyone got the Gerbils on youtube?

 

[Rad-]

Soccer game looks the worst of the Kinect Sports games.

 

[supermackem]

That football looks pretty ass mind.:lol

 

[Interfectum]

giant bomb truly has a sweet video setup.

 

[op_ivy]

Games fault or players fault ?

pretty sure players fault. i've seen video with people leaning for goalie dives and saves. i thought it looked rather good, they were just shit at it (expected first time). as an outside viewer though, it clicked.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Stream lacks some of Vinny's magic.

 

[Hugbot]

Soccer game looks the worst of the Kinect Sports games.

Well, it'd better be.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Soccer game looks the worst of the Kinect Sports games.

It's actually really fun if you play by yourself, it was actually my favorite kinect sports game, bowling isn't that bad either.

 

[GashPrex]

I think people don't quite get - playing kinect > watching kinect. Thats sort of the point of full body motion gaming

You are the only one to crack that code, yup.

 

[jett]

Soccer looked like ass. Next.

 

[Najaf]

Lol. Oh God I didn't mean to throw that! :lol

 

[D4Danger]

I like the fact they put overhand throwing in just because they knew people would mess about and do it

 

[Raide]

Bowling already looks way more interesting and involving than the Wii Bowling. Well, as interesting as real bowling is. :lol

 

[Lunchbox]

bowling looks cool

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

Looks about the same to me (a good thing). Far more entertaining than RPG soccer.

 

[DarkJC]

Bowling already looks way more interesting and involving than the Wii Bowling. Well, as interesting as real bowling is. :lol

Really? It's bowling. I don't really see anything here that makes it way more involving than what's been done before, unless you're just referring to the "extreme" themed arena.

 

[scotcheggz]

This bowling looks kinda fun, first thing I've seen that has made me think it might actually be fun.

A T-Mobile ball though? REALLY?

 

[op_ivy]

the lack of a UI and menu's to determine your shots for one

 

[ghst]

notice how the ball always goes a straight line, with no wrist element or nuance whatsover.

might aswell just tape a wiimote to your forearm if you want that experience.

 

[Interfectum]

bowling looked decent

Jeff said you can add spin but they didn't show it

 

[chogidogs]

i am really not a fan of holding your hand for menu stuff. makes me appreciate buttons even more now.

 

[Totobeni]

..the hell with that hand cursor :/

 

[Raide]

Like having the crowd around you and the more realistic bowling. Even with more players, I found Wii Bowling a little solitary and empty. Just me though.

maybe they are just really good at tossing straight gosh

 

[Denzar]

Watched 15 seconds.

Almost pissed my pants laughing.

DAAHHHHHHHHHHH SPORTS

 

[brightsons]

WTF is up with the terrible license music in Kinect Sports....SMH.
