One of the things that kind of amazes me, is that everyone is up in arms over the always on connection, but not about the mandatory always on kinect. I don't like the idea of kinect always watching me, combined with always on internet. Apparently, if kinect is not connected (or the eye is taped off) the xbox won't start…
I seriously doubt that. It's not like Kinect wasn't manufactured en-mass and sold at a loss, and it still cost a fortune. Kinect's successor will not be different. This is all gimmicky crap that does nothing to benefit the majority of game titles, these aren't really benefits. It's nice to have a microphone, but there's a…
Two graduates Matthew Allen & Sol Rogers set up a company called Rewindfx and it has gone from strength to strength. The pair of UH Alumni did the BA & MA at the University of Hertfordshire.

They made Kinect sports and were supposed to be working on other Kinect stuff. Microsoft just made a fuck-ton of money over the holidays from Kinect. Does not compute?! Best of luck to those affected....
The conference focused heavily on the Kinect because it's NEW HARDWARE - that's not exactly a surprise. Only the small casual games are going to require it's use - nothing hardcore. If you don't like it, don't use it, it's not rocket science. Playing with the units at work, I've found it's very much like a Wii - fun with…
I'd imagine that's just down to Microsoft holding the metaphorical gun to their head to push the MS peripherals. The real Forza fans presumably couldn't care less about Kinect and the dumb wheel, and at the same time, they're likely to be the ones watching these behind the scenes trailers. I also couldn't care less about…
