why fight it, consoles aren't giong anywhere, embrace diversity.
The Xbox Kinect is freaking awesome, I have one and I can't wait until game developers start using it. I have never been blown away by a gaming system before, but the Kinect is like a dream come true. Granted there are very few games for it now, but that is to be expected for new technology. The Kinect is going to reinvent the gaming experience, it will recreate old genres and create new genres.
I have a fighting game on my xbox where you stand in front of the tv and throw punches and kicks, and shout to do special moves. Fun, so much fun. There is something so cool about having the character onscreen mimic your body as you move, and navigating menus by waving your hand in the air so cool. Heck the thing even has an automatic facial recognition system so when you swap players, it swaps profile.
There is a kinect Star Wars game coming out at the end of this year
How wicked is that!!! I'm excited, I'll be having light sabre fights with Darth Vader and flattening Imperial Storm troopers with force pushes from my own hands, not via button pushes, hells yeah!
And pc gaming newest interface development is....ready for it.
A mouse with more buttons than your game has functions.................?
PC gaming has recently invented a new genre
I'm so glad I spent 5k building an uber computer that loads Windows in 5 seconds so I can play minecraft.
At the end of the day who cares, games are games, the only difference is the interface. 15-20 years ago PC gaming was pushing the envelope and developing new genres. Today consoles are the cutting edge in gaming, but I don't think it matters, all it means is there are more and better games to play. Regardless of who develops and distributes the game, the only real difference it makes to me is wether I sit on my couch ar at my desk, either way I/we as gamers win.
