Yeah and thats where forcing the kinect on us should end.

I totally agree with you. Hopefully MS will be flexible on this-1

Re: Xbox One

Can we stop referring to it as XBone?

Sounds like a really cheap boner pill.

Hey thats their bad for giving it that name.
I didnt name the console.

Re: Xbox One

I know that. Your reasons why everyone will have a kinect are completely valid. Why everyone must have an active one is still to be determined.

For those not interested in the entertainment options, they've got a long way to go here.

Improper use of a Simpsons reference.

Someone give this man an infraction.

Re: Xbox One

I will never call this system the XBone!!!!!!! X1 is only way to go, at least that sounds futuristic and not like a dog treat.

Re: Xbox One

Microsoft sure has been evasive in their responding to questions about always on etc.. I'm all for it so it doesn't bother me with what they are doing with Kinect and other things. To me it's the next natural step.

But it's like talksng to a politician when you see how they respond to questions.

Re: Xbox One

Everywhere I see people saying, "But EVERYONE will have a Kinect so devs can do stuff with it because they know you have it!"

To those saying that: What makes you think anyone will develop for the kinect, aside from the gimmicky stuff we have now?

95% of big released are third-party multi-platform games. They aren't developing them with use of the kinect in mind, because that would mean that a core game function wouldn't work on the PS4.

So we're back to where we started - gimmicky kinect games made for kids, and tacked-on kinect features in other games that bring not much at all (if anything) to the game.

I'm sure that there will be some gimmicky games, but I prefer to spend my time thinking about the developers who will use their creativity to do worthwhile things with Kinect. I've seen enough cool non-gaming stuff that others have done with the ****ty version of Kinect to get excited about the possibilities of what developers can do when they actually spend time on it.

There's nothing kiddie about Dance Central which is a game my family
& friends play all the time when they come over.

Re: Xbox One

This isn't how people are hacking live accounts. They do it through doxing and social engineering. The kinect is not a anti theft device...that's just silly (sorry).

Like I said, I was just looking for a less creepy excuse than the fact that they're spying on us as we play (at least without our knowledge).

I'm not saying they will, I'm just saying this is MS's motivation for making it required.

Same with PS move...if it wasn't required no dev would make crap for it.

Diggin their own grave....

If the PS4 follows through with anything like this I may just bow out entirely when next-gen hits.
