You can only steer?
 
The whole Kinect stuff was painfully embarasing for the actors. Why have all this crap, when you could get a few cool guys playing the game, without talking, while a TRAINED person explains what is happening.

Why would I want to stand up, in an uncomfortable position to play a racing game, let alone thrust my ass to make the car boost!?!?!? Microsoft what the f are you thinking?

I know it's terrible and disrespectful, but I was screaming shut up bitch throughout that. 
Oh...her name's Charming, response justified.  
 
If this is real it's not even cool, in Mario Kart WIi you could at least control the throttle.

"Baby drift, mommy drift! Haha" "Dingdingdingding, aha, I got all of them!" 
 
Shut your crap! Who wrote this dialog? I've never sympathized for actors more than I did during Monday's set of conferences.

Kinect will sell a lot, I can imagine, but it will suck. I'd rather sit the fuck down and do my driving via a controller, thanks.

I think even the Nintendo Vitality Sensor is trumping Kinect right now in cool level.  I understand these are more marketed as family games, but I feel like the Wii fills that niche perfectly already (and in fact, better).  I can't imagine anyone picking this up, at least not til some actually compelling software makes an appearance.

This is the worst video. They are all damn awful, but this is the worst one. 
having no controller doesn't work. Sony is correct in their assessment that you need a controller. Millions of dollars were spent by 3rd party companies to assess that people need controllers for motion controls to work properly. Microsoft just ignored all that research and look at this garbage they've created.
I really can't wait to hear Brad, Jeff and Ryans comments on this. I bet sitting in that auditorium was the most painstaking thing so far at E3.
 
Kinect, and this press conference makes me embarrassed to be a gamer.

The female actresses were the worst, I've never felt so uncomfortable watching games being played. The Natal video chat thing had some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

Remember when this was supposed to be free?  And not motion controlled?  Ah, the good old days.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that Kinect is the dumbest-demoing thing that I've ever seen in my life. 
 
It might still be fun when you're alone, listening to a podcast or something but not the future of gaming. Not anywhere near it.

I can't see any racing game where you have nothing in your hands being comfortable for any prolonged period of time. This looks like it could actually benefit from dumb plastic peripherals like all of the junk people strap onto the wiimote.

That girl could not have been more irritating. I wish they'd show her movements and how they translate, not just the game.

hahahaha! way too many awesome comments on these terrible kinect vids, but this one is my fave. 
 
the sad reality we all don't want to face is that like some users are saying, they'll sell 8,000,000,000 Kinect units. let's all just hope that the next generation of this technology will bring about games that we'll be interested in playing.

Looks kind of interesting but I'm wanting to find out how you control the speed of your car.  Seemed like all she controlled was the steering.....  I'll try not to hate but Microsoft Kinect really seems like something you have to try instead of just watch.

That was wierd. She was saying so much it should have been an enthusiastic show but... she just spat out the some unintelligent dialogue and said it like she was being forced to say sorry when she was 8.
 
Kinect + Games? No thanks. Media and stuff? Maybe but not for that price

@s0mah: 
It isn't a knee jerk reaction. We've all undoubtedly played more than our fair share of videogames on a wide variety of platforms over a relatively long period of time. 
By this point, we know crap when we see it. And this is crap.
