I agree, lazing on the couch is very important... for what motion sencing is i think Kinect promises a lot more then the move... However when it comes to batman a controller is always going to be the best option, stringing together attacks like in Arkham Asylum. I don't want to be hanging from the ceiling waiting to pounce on a imaginary unsuspecting criminal.

Completely agree with everything that he said.

Frankly i belive in Move more then i do Kinect.  but thats my thing i agree with what he says. i cant wait for Arkham City. but keep it on a Sixaxis.

They better not use any of these in the game.

Kinect is cool, but I dont think it would do this game justice. Move might be cool, but.....whatever happend to the times when there was no motion controls? Oh,and 3D gaming sucks.

I would like to see more of these games come out and say that they will provide support now or later for a motion controller. What it comes down to is that any game with an aiming system at all, will be improved by using a motion controller.

Hopefully Microsoft and Sony will make a profit on Kinect and Move this holiday season.

On the motion controls thing, I think that it is important to remember that Move is point and play. If you can point your arm at the screen you can use move. I'm guessing it's also going to be a might bit easier to use overall as far as interface than Kinect. Move has buttons, moving your hands to a button on screen and holding it there isn't near responsive enough to justify using something. How hard is it going to be to reload a weapon, or even change between them, in Kinect? How is aiming going to work?

Are you going to ask me to hold a controller and hop up and down every time I want to jump? Why wouldn't I just use the normal controller if I'm going to HAVE to hold it? Who cares if you can throw a grenade in Halo using Kinect if you have to stand in the middle of a room for an entire, normally rather long, level just to be ready to do so? (Something they hinted at when it was NATAL) Most gamers have their games set up for playing while sitting down, and standing up while you play can mess with your perception of what's going on as well.

I know I can't play BF:BC2 while standing up, I tried that. I have no doubt that there is room for Kinect to carve out its own little niche of success, but it isn't nearly as much as the Move has to work with. If Microsoft gets nothing more than Wii Ware level titles for Kinect I don't see it selling. At least the Wii has an excuse for simple gameplay and lower end graphics. If we see any of that from Kinect I really don't see anyone picking it up, because there is no excuse, and even more so because of the fact that a Wii itself is only another $50. At this point, without seeing much out of Kinect so far, I would say if I owned a 360 exclusively, then I would probably pick up a Wii before I bought Kinect.

I agree with everything he said. Espically lazing on the couch. I love doing that just holding a controller in my hand and playing. I really don't want to be getting up and moving around while I am gaming. I want to relax.

Hopefully Microsoft and Sony will make a profit on Kinect and Move this holiday season.

Even as an Xbox 360 owner, I have to say it looks like Move will work better than Kinect as far as traditional games go. We can only hope that developers can make some great Kinect games to balance that out.

I'm not sure about Kinect or Move yet, but It could work in Arkham City, if it's done right.

Wow, he said it's interesting. Like, 100 times.

I like just the standard controller but if I had to choose I would go with the Move more games that I enjoy support it

Gotta stay neutral, heh.

Smart guy. Arkham Asylum rocked.

Sounds like he's trying to be careful not to step on anyone's' toes.  Whenever he says "interesting" I get the impression he means the exact opposite.

it should be two player on line or like gta online free play

I believe many gamers, GI staff included, are very interested to see how Move and Kinect do, as well as how they apply to current gaming traditions. I don't see either working to enhance hardcore gaming; and if they are going to have some semblance of success I would like to see them stay out of that arena. Hopefully the technology will open up the door for new ideas and pushing the envelope that much further in the gaming universe. Sadly, these motion capture devices are more likely made with the mindset of cashing in(albeit late in the game) on the Wii's wild success. Before dismissing this notion, take a look at the list of games that are Move or Kinect based. Now from that list pic out games that are regurgitated ideas of already existing Wii games. However, I didn't think Wii would be a success either.

That said,

You do not need to be hooked up to some 3d virtual reality machine (or an iteration thereof) to be immersed in a game. Sony and Microsoft need to start thinking with portals...

Ps - Hopefully I did not come across like the fanboy in your latest issue... I don't even have a Wii.
