    Kinect Support

    Concept »

    Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.

    ...so now that sites have it, does it work?

    Now that most places have their Kinect stuff, can someone confirm or deny if it works? 
     
    I am interested and planned on picking up the bundle for my mom (or mum for your EU users), because she wants the fitness game with that dancing game.  It would be nice to know if I should pre-order this or not, due to the limited supply.  :|

    Err, yeah, pretty sure it works. It'd be quite bad for Microsoft if it didn't!

    Why don't you go to the sites that have it and read what they have to say about it.

    Kinect is a man that likes other men. There's nothing wrong with saying it.

    this thread makes me look back at all those 4chan-esque comments i've made over the years and realise my folly. Giantbomb is quickly becoming something grotesque.

    @HandsomeDead:  god DAMN the black n white dude is hideous! im glad you changed from a fucked up leather-wearing guy with white paint on his face to a generic handsome young man, you're an inspiration ! 
    personally i'd give anything not to be that generic guy with the gel hairdo so i'll take the fat guy in leather and not use Kinect :P

    Took a break from the site because my life was getting complicated. I came back and heard the whole "Giantbomb is getting worse!" cry, and I was like "Whatever, people have been saying that for years." But it's really starting to look like trolling, KaosAngel, and childish assholes are are getting worse here. Modding's getting more aggressive too, and I can't tell if that's the cause or the effect of it.

    And i thought a smart guy like you would know that labels, expressions and terms can group people who vary alot, together.. meaning that while there's sane and friendly people who happen to be die hard metalheads, there are also those who are totally fucked up. 
    Just like i could look up some brainless idiotic rapper wannabes wearing stupid rapper clothes, they'd fall under "rap fans" but do they represent, lets say, the few rap lovers we have on Giantbomb ? 
     
    Out of the variety of results you got for "die hard metal head", you picked the wrong pic for me

    If you ever lose faith in these forums, just go to the escapist's. Hell, GB actually rewards users for getting a first. "
    Oh my god, the Escapist? Hell fucking no. I came from there. I'm not losing faith in the great religion that is Giantbomb, but the people posting here are starting to get under my skin.

    The only way for the forums to get better is for people to post more intelligent posts.  Anything you can contribute would be better than simply sitting on the sideline.
