This is the first interesting looking Kinect game IMO but I'm still not going to buy a motion controller/camera.

Uggh, awful. The Kinect just isn't the way I want to play video games at all.

The quality of face and neck stabbing in this game seems to be poor.

Sweet, I like me some zombie nurses ;)

..This game looks like something i'd enjoy but playing anything on kinect just ends up being a chore. I'd rather this were on the Wii or Move, at least then you could use the analog stick to walk. Force feedback also seems like a must for a game like this.

The one thing so many horror game forget to include, a decent atmosphere. Without that it's not scary at all. They just slapped a grain filter on an ugly game and called it a day.

The funny thing with these Kinect quicklooks is that despite them looking crappy and insults being thrown throughout, they always seem to be having fun - whether it was intentional or not.

I can hardly stand watching this. Turning and movement controls look super annoying.

The same thought keeps running through my head as I watch this: 
 
Seeing as SWERY has already mastered the fine arts of terrible controls and horrible graphics it seems like Kinect could be a perfect fit for his next game. 
 
...and he might inject enough charm to make it work.

Now that's a cool concept for a Kinect game. I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to play it like with almost every motion controlled game out there but it has its charm. I actually really like the tone, design and general setting of the game. Just the type of trashy, weird and gory horror fiction I enjoy. All in all this seems like on of the coolest Kinect games I've seen.

This pretty much proves a horror game will never work for the Kinect. Any sort of tension is instantly gone when you are awkwardly moving around and interacting with the environment.

So why wouldn't you just auto walk everywhere? Painful to see Klepeck flail about for no reason at all...

This looks bad, but at least it's trying. It's refreshing to see something that actually tries to use and expand upon this shit.

I'm gonna give credit to Sega for at least having the ideas of a horror Kinect  game. However, watching Patrick at 31:15 is like watching a Kinect combo movie for a fighting game XD

Are there any users from Romania on the board? How much does the whole Dracula thing annoy you? I was always curious about that.

As for the game, it seems rough, but at least they tried something instead of a mini-game collection or what not.

When the big enemy comes in with the mask my thoughts were "Sweet, so one of the guys from Daft Punk is the final boss!"

Yeah my roommate really got into wearing his girlfriend's pants too.

About the game it looks kinda dumb, but at least it's something different.

Or you know....just go play Condemned.

This doesn't actually look bad, if I had a Kinect I would probably get this. Just so I would have a reason to use the Kinect.

Also, 
1) Crap, the Kinect is awful. 
2 ) Why has no one mentioned how bad these graphics are? 
3) It's not even tracking your movements. The controls are about as advanced as an early Wii game.

*sigh... kinect...
 
you ARE the controller! Oh wait, hold up you're left hand to auto move through the scenery because its cumbersome to move through it otherwise. Really liking these new, innovative features kinect is bringing. I remember how hard it was moving through environments with a standard controller, im so  glad IM the controller. Also, stop standing next to me, it's confusing the game...

Patrick Klepek's charisma is the sort of thing that the Kinect was made for. That was great.
