Rare Talks About the Upgrades Made to Kinect Sports: Rivals

Lol, poor Rare. Destined to make shit until the end of time now. Most self-respecting people have either put away their kinects by now or didnt buy them to begin with. RIP old friend.

So Xbox One avatars are allowed to have guns now?

Shooting purple guns is the ultimate sport.

Like Kevin Butler asked, who wants to pretend their hand is a gun?

I want to see how well this will work. Possibly at full price.

I let my 3-year-old use my 360 Kinect on occasion (Fruit Ninja, Kinect Party) and every time I think about how it's sitting beside this theoretically better, newer one that just doesn't have any software to test it out with.

They are trying so hard to hide the fact this will be filled with micro transactions. Also you can see a piece of the island with a big "coming soon".

Take another every time someone in the comments mention something about how much Rare sucks now!

Apparently, Leafos is Rare's art director.

They're pretty dam bad.

As someone that had a lot of fun with the first Kinect Sports, this game looks interesting. I would have liked a new version of ping pong, but I guess Tennis will have to do.

precision on the other hand is thrown out the gate, when they fix that, which they will not without the ability to interact with a physical object, it will be the next big thing. Until then it will be just wiggling your limbs and hope the hardware/software is smart enough to know when and where you want your hand be placed inside the game and hope it interacts with the thing you wanted to in the first place.

The bar has sunk in to the ground. It is more of a crack in the sidewalk at this point. :/

These guys made Goldeneye. And Viva Pinata. :(

"Most responsive motion game there's ever been" We'll see but that's still a bar so low I could trip over it.

RARE?!?

:(

A heightmap change of coloured fluff if it works out. The question is how it will handle a five inch goatee, usually these systems crap themselves on that, not to mention what they think of baldies.

Get back to me when you make a game you play with a controller again Rare.

Fuck.

Am I in 2006?...

Honestly, though. At least half of these games looks like they would be a fucking blast if you could just use a controller.

drink every time they say 'compete'

Who are ANY OF THESE PEOPLE?

Are we supposed to care who they are just because they work at Rare? Because these are not the Rare names I care about. Most of the Rare names I care about don't work at Rare anymore.

I bet none of this shit works.

Hey look everyone! Rare is making a game!

Well they had to do something now that there are no Avatars to design shirts for.

Also, I wonder how the face scanning will handle facial hair.

I like that Rare has a ''Creative Director,'' would someone kindly tell him that motion sports arnt that creative.

Also i like how half the video is them saying, Yah, the knect can tell when you move.

I don't think I ever got the demo working at all. Thanks Kinect!

Do they actually believe what they're saying?

I say yay!

I thought that was a screen from The Old Republic.

The face mapping stuff looks really interesting and I'm kinda bummed that they didn't even bother going into specifics about it. I could care less about this game, but I would like to see Microsoft implement this face tech into new avatars for Xbox.

Man these comments are poison.

@themasterds:

"It's a crap game". Oh have you played it then? Or do you mean 'it doesn't look like the sort of game I'm interested in'?

It may well end up being poor but at least have the maturity to wait and see.

I miss Rare. They were the Kings of the N64 era and the late SNES era. Now they can barely get out a game every 3 years. And it's a crap game.

@almightyboob: It's been so long.. should I remember? I CAN'T REMEMBER

I really dig the visuals. It's just a shame I have no interesting in anything else about the game, especially how you play it.

Remember when Rare made real games?

Marketing videos sure are pretty. I'll believe it when I see it...

It's difficult for any person to be likable when they're using buzzwords.

NO-

ONE

CARES

Is this the game where I can draw a picture and show it to that kid who can read my mood based on my face?

The waveracey bit is still supposed to be free, right?

And urgh. That's not a competition, that's a mental problem.

Competition, competitor, champion - they're using scripts with what they speak of. Scripts so that easily brainwashed people get brainwashed and buy into it. I've made studies into this subject, I've got a diploma in it, got books. Microsoft being Microsoft. Also see contract-mandatory mention of the cloud and how much of a miracle it is.

"Most responsive motion (controlled) game there's ever been" - oh we will hold that against you if otherwise, those us with experience of motion controlled games in the arcade already do.

In name only, really.

Fuck this, I'm still playing the DKC games on my snes.

@video_game_king: A development studio called Rare still exists. That's about as far as I'll go.

This could actually be kind of awesome, if it wasn't a Kinect game.

But at least we'll finally get to experience the power of the cloud... online matchmaking!

If that avatar technology works that seems to be the best thing out of this.

CORE GAMERS YOU GUYS!
