I have Smart Glass on Ipad but I only use it for chatting with Jorkila and have no interest in the Battlefield thing for it either.

To be honest i hardly ever use Kinect only for the odd voice command but to be fair my console is in the living room so it picks up a lot of interference when in use!!
I'll be picking up Kinect Sports Rivals soon so it will get some use then.
My console usually connects wirelessly somewhere in the region of 50mb so my speeds are pretty nippy!!

Reckon you're right about gimmicks and motion control currently being very dissatisfactory and impractical. I also like to sit on my butt chillaxing when playing games, albeit I might be sat on a chair instead of a comfy sofa.

The history of gaming is littered with failed input devices. But I think there's a place for innovation but it's hard to make use of it right now if it adds to the hassle and detracts from what you said about just casual chilling and 'illin. winktongue

But, I do like the look of immersive VR gaming. There are a lot of applications for it so it will take off I'm sure. But for gaming, the FPS is where VR is at. We're a long way from the 80s when VR headsets were neck snappingly huge eyeball burning monstrosities but I expect we've a few years of refinement and technological development before they can be said to work without hassle.

Girlfriend bought it today as she likes [censored] like this,the bowling is decent and the shooting game keeps you occupied for 10 minutes.

I messed about with it for 10 minutes and that was 5 minutes to many fir my liking,sensor on the Kinnect 2 is suppose to be so much better ,yet setting it up on a sunny afternoon at 5 pm it was telling me the room was to dark and the features may not react in the proper manner if there is not enough light.

Another reason why I hate all this motion controlled junk,even now they can not get this motion control stuff working correctly to get a enjoyable experience .

So after the Awesome Goldeneye all those years back,this is where Rare Software are today ,making second rate motion controlled games.

Yeah Jorkila I'm been critical again as you may well enjoy it and I have not exactly tested it to make such a informed opinion.

Don't think I will ever be blown away with anything motion controlled Gaming wise,never have been and never will.

It's supposed to be so much better than the original connect yet I don't see any great difference.

TitanFall Training


[re: MrSaffron] [link to this post]
 
On training module and is a nice and fluid character control the wall running and jumping is neat and looks like it will add a new dimension rather than just floor based play

Lost first attrition game and it is fun and more fast paced than BF4 or CoD was, very very easy to die.

The titans are a pig to kill, in terms of game graphics they are very good but the future scape feels a little cold, maybe loads more to see when I stop getting shot every few seconds.

In summary District 9 film crossed with Halo and BF4
