Sonic Boom Sonic Boom :D (yeah it's kinda the same tone )

so , how devs can fix/evolve Dragon Ball games anyway ? unless they casualization the series and make them one button masher like Naruto Ninja Storm 1/2 I don't see anything that can be done here , then again I am not fan of the games.

I think it will be better if they made it more like God Hand or Yakuza and put less enemies.

this look like crap , Bond games need better devs( Everything or Nothing was so good and the best bond game ever)
 
Time limits and punishments on smartphone and detective vision today... time limits and punishments on mini-maps tomorrow.

I hope you are all happy with yourselves. Punishing the player with arbitrary rules for no reason is always a good policy
 
Giant Bombs Kinect coverage will make or break it for me, these are the guys who's opinions I really am waiting for (& tested too, really started to love that site and Will & Norm).

I hope they QuickLook the shit out of it.

Betting Time!

How long into the quick look until they try abusing the poor tiger? Got to be under 5 minutes

Also, once Will and Norm take it apart they will never get it to work right again

well they made QLs for most ( all ? ) of the available Move games so far , so I think they will do it for Kinect too.

Prediction: They will still love dance central and hate everything else

Yeah I've loved the Move QL's but I hope they go a little more in-depth with it being a 'new' interface and get across the boundaries and connection with it.

Anyway I'm sure they will cover to what it will warrant.

Seemed like they dislike the Dynasty Warriors part and like the Fist of the North Star part.

Yeah seems like it. That's also the difference between Legend Mode and Dream Mode. One is more pure beat 'em up the other DW style.

I wonde rwhen their Kinect coverage begins. I am pretty stoked for that.
 
I just watched Jeff and Ryan buy Kinect and a bunch of games at Best Buy. Did not look like there was anyone there for it. :lol

Probably bad sign, but dont a lot of people work on Thursday mornings? Their work is going to best buy to buy the thing.

is this kinect live stream going yet?
Click to expand...

No Jeff is just live streaming from his iPhone.

Also didn#t look like there were alot of Kinects there. Maybe around 15. If that is what the initial shipment of MS looks out I can still see them selling them out.

But nowhere near the 5 million they keep saying.

It is a pretty sick promo image
 
A whole day? :lol

There's no hiding it anymore where they stand. In comparison, they shoved every Move launch title into 2 quicklooks and called it a day.

The Move was much more of a known quantity than the Kinect is.
 
they actually had 3 Move QLs.

Eyepet and Sports Champions were treated separately and had pretty long videos.

and then there was the bundle of kung fu Riders Start the Party, and Tumble. you think those last three were worthy of longer videos? (i don't)

who knows how long these individual kinect videos will last.

They also had Move on the Happy Hour. You also have to ask youself which of those will result in more physical comedy.

The difference is that we all knew how Move works, what it’s going to be and how it’s going to be used. Sure, we’ve never seen the games before, but we’ve known the technology before. No one questions the accuracy of Move. Everyone questions the accuracy of Kinect. Just as an example.

However, GiantBomb’s coverage is pretty 360-focused and there’s nothing wrong with it. Aside from a couple of “you have to update the firmware everytime”-bullshit, which only happens to people who do not use their PS3 very often, they treat the PS3 very, very fairly. There are a lot of websites that just overlook the PS3’s strengths while always pointing out the weak points of the system. Those (mostly individuals that happen to work for a website) tend to let the Xbox always shine in a bright light and seem to shit on the PS3 whenever possible. Dan Hsu, anyone?

As someone who plays the majority of his games on the PS3 I still think GiantBomb does a great job at covering PS3 games, even though they could do a lot more. Still: The 360 is their main platform and they’ve always said that they’re unable to cover everything.

I have Move and I think it's dumb. It's just a Wiimote for PS3. Kinect is a more unknown, unique product. Plus, comedy gold.

Don't go acting crazy man. Kinect is a much bigger deal, promotion wise, than Move was. MS is treating it akin to a console launch, so they are treating it thusly. :)

nobody cared about move, sorry.

although, to be fair, a lot of folks here care about kinect the same way one might care about a car accident on the highway.

it's not exactly positive enthusiasm.

factually correct but at least there's some interest whereas move just came and went.

The GAF move thread is still fairly popular. I'd hardly say that it "came and went".
