So does this mean Kinect 2 will mark the return of the Joystick (by "Joystick" I mean a certain part of the male anatomy) as an input method?

I'm just joking... but imagine being able to play the God of War sex mini games this way....

You know, I am so fucking sick and tired of seeing that dance move. Chicks seem to dig it because it's all sexual and ****, but that is not how you have sex. Either you're kicking the **** out of her or she's in some sort of yoga pose.

EDIT:
Some on topic, lip reading? Really? Is there even software that can seriously do that? Weren't there problems voice recognition? I could only imagine lips being worse.

I don't care how big it is, you're moving way to much. You're gonna miss and often.

Yeah, Research wise. There has been lip reading software used successfully on silent films to get what people were actually saying.

Any movements involving the hips would be considered sexual whether they would work in a sexual way or not. I remember watching some documentary about Elvis and apparently him gyrating his hips was a big deal back in the 50s.

As for Kinect or any similar motion thing, apparently neither Sony nor Microsoft nor Nintendo will allow sex games on their consoles, so a Kinect compatible sex game will never happen, sadly. The God of War sex was only allowed because it didn't show anything... except boobs which are apparently okay with an M rating, but not genitalia.

nickmitch · « **Reply #308 on:** November 28, 2011, 06:04:45 PM »

I don't think anyone was reasonably expecting a sex game for Kinect. The dance games might get more interesting though.

God of War got a pass because I think Sony really wanted it to be edgier, and the team wanted to see if they could get away with it.

And we could talk about how silly it is that boobs are ok and maybe a few bums but no genitals are allowed, but the ESRB is a lot better than the MPAA. You wanna talk about crazy, inconsistent ratings, go that route.

Yep, people should go see This Film is Not Yet Rated for a look at how bad the MPAA is. I don't remember if that movie covers it, but bigger studios are able to get away with more stuff. There was also some controversy because a movie that was about homosexuality got a NC-17 rating when it had basically the same amount and type of content that other movies (with heterosexual characters) got a R rating for.

nickmitch · « **Reply #310 on:** November 28, 2011, 08:08:49 PM »

Yeah, that film covers how bigger studios have an edge over indie ones. It's on Netflix Instant, if anyone is curious. I first heard about it on Box Office Poison, so shoutouts to Karl.

MS replaces Xbox design boss & "supports" 2013 release date.

As Microsoft's Xbox group moves toward launching a successor to the Xbox 360, it will do so without the brand and design leadership of Don Coyner, who has guided that strategy since the console's inception more than a decade ago.

Two sources who work for Microsoft say Coyner is no longer leading the design and experience group for Xbox. One of those sources said Coyner was replaced by Emma Williams, who helped guide the just-launched redesign of the Xbox Live interface.

Microsoft declined to confirm or deny the organization changes. "We don't comment on personnel issues," a spokesman said.

Williams, Coyner's replacement, will be tasked with guiding the design and brand strategy as the group moves toward launching the next console. The game developer Web site Develop recently pegged the launch of the next console for 2013, something a source on the Xbox team confirmed. Microsoft declined to comment on the timing of the next Xbox.

That sounds about right. 2012 E3 Rough Reveal with probably the Kinect 2 stuff ready for showing but not the beefy insides and a close concept model of the console itself.

I don't like the new design of the dashboard, and it seems I am in the majority on this (based on reactions i've seen online and in podcasts. And the woman who basically is responsible for it is now in charge of the whole Xbox division?

2013 is kinda late for the Xbox 3, but there was no way it was coming in 2012 if they hadn't even confirmed its existence yet.

Morari · « **Reply #314 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:23:50 PM »

Isn't the new Xbox Dashboard just a Metro-ized interface? If you don't like it on the Xbox, you sure aren't going to like it on your PC next year.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #315 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:41:40 PM »

I just got Windows 7 last December, so I sure as hell won't be updating to Windows 8 anytime soon.

.
Its a Bastardized version of Metro. I've been using Windows Phone 7 with the Metro Interface for a year now and it is great. I don't have a 360 but I've watched videos of the new interface. Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking.

If Windows 8 is like the 360 Bastardization of the interface yeah its going to be bad. If its like the Phone 7 interface its going to be the Hotness.

nickmitch · « **Reply #317 on:** December 16, 2011, 06:39:57 PM »

I think MS is gonna have a really big edge here, if the Kinect being under used thing turns out to be true since they won't have to put out a new one.

I wouldn't know what to compare it with, honestly. I've been running the Developer's Preview of Windows 8 in a virtual machine for a few months now. The new Metro interface is not viable for a desktop environment at all. It is very clearly designed for tablets and smart phones, where I'm sure it excels. You can revert back to the more manageable Aero interface, but there is thus far no way to default to it.

Rumor has it that while Assassins Creed III will be aimed at Wii U, Splinter Cell 6 will be aimed at the nextgen Xbox.

Rumor also has it that the new name being circulated is XboxFusion

That sounds more like an integrations strategy. XBox Fusion Everything from Your Xbox.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #321 on:** January 03, 2012, 09:42:17 PM »

A Fusion of what?

I'm going to guess its going to be Kinect integrated directly into the console itself, as opposed to being a peripheral. That, plus the obligatory beefing up of the specs.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #322 on:** January 03, 2012, 09:59:40 PM »

You can't integrate Kinect into the console itself.
unless you think you can mount the entire console ontop of the TV or directly infront of it and have a motor that is still gonna move it around so that it can capture the people in its view.

Assassins Creed III is Brotherhood, Revelations was the Forth (main) game.

Ubisoft did state they were working an Assassin Creed project at E3 for the 3DS and WII U. The 3ds version was put on "hold", not sure if they continued to work on the WII U project?

If they were going to make an excluisve then I assume they would make an spinoff. There was plenty of "subjects" prior to Desmond that took their turns in the Animus chair so it would be easy enough to do--some of the anime and books brush up on this.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #324 on:** January 03, 2012, 11:38:04 PM »

Brotherhood and Revelations are part of the same universe as II and were basically side projects, the sameways Vice City and San Andreas were part of the GTA III universe (hence why the next one was GTA IV), so the next one could very well be Assassin's Creed III.
