E3 2010: Kinect Dance Central Demo

 This looks interesting! 
 
EDIT: still no quest.. :-(

Mad dance skills :D 

I'm probably going to get all the games when they come out on the first day

I wonder how much of this is actually mapped to his limbs... would be good to get an overlay or something...

Nerdy white guy is D-A-N-C-I-N-G
 
What devilry is this!

HELL YES.  Rock Band 3 has just been one-upped for me -- though Harmonix is getting my dollars either way. 
 
This looks way more awkward in anigif form:  http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fKTRo-PxzEk/TBdUbZw4nkI/AAAAAAAAAqs/vSqwJ9jXWV0/kinectgifban.gif

Yeah.. No thanks.

Okay, best part of this game may be the next guy I see at a club who actually attempted to use this game to learn how to dance, it'll be thoroughly entertaining.  It'd be just a step above DDR at least.

a white dude dancing is just hilarious!

I am so utilizing the elbow throw at my next dance party.

This could be alright, though hard to tell how accurate it is from this vid..

This ain't the part of the demo I want. When th producer introduced it at the beginning, that was fantastic.

What's new is old.  What's old is old.
 
However, it would be exceptionally cool if I was getting my groove on, and my friends jumped up off the couch as my backup dancers.  But real life ain't Glee.

Im kinda skeptical right now about all the kinect games, how do we know that's not just a video and they're moving after it? Also I don't think the kinect is ready yet I watched the entire press conference and every game had a slight delay like when those girls are playing that rafting game they jump and a few miliseconds later the character jumps, how will that work won't it be really hard to play a game where you have to make fast decisions like star wars or w\e... I really hope they fix that and make it faster, maybe with the next generation.

Those are some cool moves, hopefully they have some awesomer ones in the full game

Was this demo done solely to supply animated GIFmakers with content?    

This seems pretty good actually, more like a guilty pastime though. I can't imagine ever being seen doing that haha.

" Im kinda skeptical right now about all the kinect games, how do we know that's not just a video and they're moving after it?"

That girl is *poisoooooooooon*

Oh dear....
 
White boys can't dance!

@Pop
I agree that there are some minor issues like delays wth most of the Kinect games but you have to realize this is still 4 months from release. A lot can be polished in 4 months. And what people need to realize is that Kinect is gunna be an amazing game system add on right off the bat. Its going to have some cool features but it will be a few months in the market before it starts really becoming cool.

Kinect could end up being promising, but what they're showing now gives me more of an impression of a gimmick, rather then new core game mechanic.

Curiously curious about this.

I don't think gifs of this would be funny because it was actually a good demo and the guy who, by his own admission had two left feet, danced pretty well.  
 
Gifs of this sort of thing are only funny when the demo is embarrassing, like the gifs of Ravi Drums. 

I might get Kinect just for this. That asian girl is HOT.

that's pretty cool I guess 
 
edit: I don't think this is any funnier than people rocking out with plastic guitars...

" Do the Kinetics teams actually know what a videogame is? Marketing a dance "game" to a vieogame player is like marketing a videogame to my mom. "

" @skrutop: No, it's pretty legit and works as advertised. Played it last night. "

By far my favourite part of the conference. When the two dancers started dancing behind him, I was super hyped. Super.

i'm almost sold... almost 
 
(with this and children of eden)

Man, Harmonix just keeps killing it.  I watched those other terrible videos ("Rafting!  Woooooo!") and was replacing skepticism with dislike, but this put me back on the reasonable train.  That shit looks dope, dude.

this game sold me i buying natal just for this game

Does the game come with a entourage of background dancers?

That man is aggressively camp. This game looks so hilarious. 

I applaud KC for having the sack to be on stage and do something he's obviously not comfortable with.  

Y'know what? This game is great. Whatever. People learning random dance moves and then doing them to music, is kinda cool. And at least the presentation was much more honest than the adventure stuff "HEY LOOK AT THE WATER!"

just dance : xbox edition

Wow, that was WAAAAAY less awkward than I thought it would be from the start. Possibly the best use of Kinect I've seen yet.

He should've cocked up a few moves to show how that works. 

 Really awesome animation in that game. And Kasson Crooker, you are great.

I was waiting for this guy to go, "NOW LET'S GET FABULOUS!"
