Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
Hi Shaun, Actually that has been one of the major factors in our switch from Windos to Linux here. I am one of those people who purchases a computer every three to five years and as a result my wife and I have a number of older computers sitting around. Some I referb and sell, and others I keep around as backup computers in case something happens to one of the main systems. Thing is most of them can't handle Windows 7 without a massive hardware upgrade, and the cost of licensing a copy of Windows for every system is pprohibatively expensive anyway. Add to it the fact that a lot of software developers, accessible game developers included, have gone to this stupid hardware based licensing system which means i have to grab a new license key for every single computer I own. When you add up the cost of hardware and software upgrades to run the latest Windows software it is clearly not practical for my family's needs. Linux, however, is relatively inexpensive, comes with a decent screen reader built in, and it runs fairly well on all of our computers. Our family desktop is roughly five years old and Ubuntu 10 has no problems running on it where I'd have to buy more memory, upgrade the processor speed, etc to get Windows 7 to run remotely well on the same system. Weather Microsoft realises it or not here in the U.S.A. people are in a financial crunch and I see no need to go out and buy all new hardware to upgrade to Windows 7 when I can install and run the latest Linux OS on my existing hardware. Plus the gaming libraries like SFML are mature enough to create fairly decent games for the platform. Even 10 years ago Loki Games created a number of high profile games for Linux like Civilization, Quake, Doom, etc using the SDL API proving Linux can certainly compete with Windows as a gaming platform if we can just draw more developers to the platform. However, as far as Microsoft in general goes they lost me a long time ago. Windows Vista was the straw that broke the elifants back. I purchased a copy of it right after it was released and it did absolutely nothing but constantly crash and ran slower than a turtle with three broken legs until they released some updates/service packs to try and fix the majority of the problems. Then, they screwed me when my motherboard died and they wanted me to pay for a brand new copy. Screw them and the horse they rode in on! Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 so havent' had a chanse to try the Move yet. I'm still with the PS2 for the moment since it has the most playable titles, and I'm short on cash for a PS3 at the moment. However, I've heard a lot of good things about the Move, and it is beginning to make Wii fans think twice about the Wii console. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
yeah that is quite awesome. Its also true that ms has lost loads with newer systems. Right now they are probably close to losing me again at least for a while. it all boils down to a decision on the replacement or outfitting of the main box which has been running for the last 10 years. Its been used as a print server, file server, pc and workhorse for the entire family. Many things have been replaced and a few things are on the way out. I am planning right now to try to source another xp licence, if I can. ofcause if the system is varified as junk that will not be a problem. If I do replace things with win7 I will have to decide on access software which has been the main reason I have not bothered with upgrading. Ok, ok, jaws mainly hal is cheapish I can handle that easy enough. But unless my computer requirements improve, well. So I can say ms will be losing me.

However, imagine playing a game like Super Street Fighter with a Kinect device. Just swing a punch and the game characterthrows a punch. No controllers etc in volved. Just motion at it with a punch, chop, whatever and the game does it. Now, that is frickin' sweet. On 10/26/10, Ian McNamara wrote: > Yep me and my brother are thinking of getting this.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
My point exactly. It's not that I don't approve of the technology, some games would be downright fn to play. But games like competetive fighting games that are so heavily basd on timing couldn't bedone wel. At least not atthis time. That, and for some reason, fighting games just feel so much more like the good old funfests they are when playing with a controller or arcade stick.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
Well. Kinect will only work on titles that support it. Current games will not support it, and it doesn't seem likely support will be patched in. But hopefully it will do some very cool things.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
I don't know about more accessible. A visual game is still a visual game. Prince of Persia, for example. Doesn't matter whether you can control it all the time... you still have to jump at the right places, climb at the right places. So more interactive, defnitely. More acessible? This is just my opinion, but not very likely. Not in that many cases, a any rate. - Original Message - From: "Ian McNamara" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture yep i know a few of my brothers mate's who have already put orders in for this.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
You know, I've heard a lot of fighting game players talk about that. The truth is, playing a game like that via exclusive motion isn't precise enough as button presses. With frame data, and the rest of it, your timing needs to be pretty spot on. Capcom realized this... and in Tatsunoko vs. capcom, the fighter for the wii, even the wimote doesn't let you use motion... t's all done on the a and b buttons. And the gamers who play at high levels buy classic controllers s they have the full range of buttons to use. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
Hi, That's my thought exactly. the Kinect technology does sound better than the Wii. However, I am concerned about accessibility as it might be more difficult to access menus and things through gestures alone.Although, perhaps the voice commands will allow you to say "new game" and it will start a new game. However, imagine playing a game like Super Street Fighter with a Kinect device. Just swing a punch and the game characterthrows a punch. No controllers etc in volved. Just motion at it with a punch, chop, whatever and the game does it. Now, that is frickin' sweet. On 10/26/10, Ian McNamara wrote: > Yep me and my brother are thinking of getting this.

Re: [Audyssey] Kinect controls games by voice and jesture
Hi Phil, Wow! This Kinect technology sounds awesome. I'd never expect Microsoft actually would come up with something that sounds this cool. Once released this will make the XBox 360 the leading game console out there if it works. Especially, since Microsoft has been having alot of commercial failures the past three or four years. Especially, in there Windows line of products. As the article made reference to many PC users loved Windows XP, but when Microsoft released Vista it turned out to be a huge failure for the company. Many private computer users and big companies refused to upgrade, and many others invested in Apple. As a result Apple's sales quickly shot up with a host of innovative devices like the IPod, IPhone, etc not to mention several long time Windows users switched to Mac OS. The very fact that in 2007 there were very few VI users using Mac and now there is over a hundred running Macs is a testament to how quickly Apple is eating up the Windows market. I think without new products like this Kinect device Microsoft is doomed in the long run. They can't afford more failures like Vista or they will lose their Windows market to Apple, and they need to keep their XBox console strong and innovative to keep Sony and Nintendo from taking the lead in the console market. Long term if they can make this Kinect technology work it might bring in a new era of Windows gaming technologies. For sure the PC gaming market has been falling out of favor thanks to alternative consoles like the Play Station III, the Nintendo Wii, and the XBox. Plus Transgaming has created a top of the line game emulator for Mac OS, Cider, which allows a Mac OS user to play the majority of big name PC titles on their Mac. I don't have solid figures here, but i know since Cider was released Mac has become a fairly serious gaming platform for gamers. Transgaming has created a sister project, Cedega, for Linux that offers the same features as Cider for Linux users. This adds further punishment and insult to the Windows PC gaming market. With all the alternatives and competition out there I' say Microsoft needs something like the Kinect technology to hold onto their markets.
