Virtual_Boy Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Quite a few game demos were shown, ranging from Star Wars to tiger petting, the Kinect interface to the Dashboard was shown (said by some to be Minority Report-like), and a video chat app called, wait for it, Video Chat. Through here you can naturally talk to friends (up to four total people at once was "shown"), and also share photos. Sadly, no hands-on time was given nor did MS reveal the two crucial bits of information we're waiting for: price and date. Naturally a holiday release is expected, to give the Xbox 360 a nice sales boost, but we're hearing price rumors as high as $150. These choice bits of intel will surely be unveiled at Microsoft's event tomorrow. *EDIT: Has been given a november release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarbunny Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Needs to be £50 on its own, maybe £75-100 with a game worth owning. They need to get this into as many homes as possible otherwise it will be an epic failure. No dev will spend x millions on top quality games that need Natal if only 10% of xbox owners have one. All we will end up with is poor quality shovel ware like the Wii, or poorly implemented Natal features that can also be done just as easily on a controller. Just my thoughts on it any ways.

Virtual_Boy Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 •Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger. •Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks. •Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header. •Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points. •Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home. •Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

scarbunny Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Looks like the presentation was do in front of a pre-recorded video rather than live. You can see in this video the "player" is following the game in the Star Wars section Also those games just sound like direct Wii copies, Kinect Sport = Wii Sport, Kinect Adventure = Wii Sports Resort ect.
