What they said is fair enough though. The 32X for all it's benefits, was a flop and wasn't supported very long. Microsoft, and anyone who buys Kinect certainly doesn't want it to have the same fate as the 32X did.

The 32X is like the perfect example of "So bad it is good" game platform. Most of the games are laughably awkward on it, but many of them are quite fun. In fact, going by averages I would say that it has more good games than anything released this generation! Or last!

I love a lot of stupid things about it, like putting in those metal clips, or attaching all of those cords and pieces into the Genesis, along with the SEGA CD, it is like the ultimate console gangbang.

Err... Uhh, anyways! Kinect is in no way the next 32X. Kinect is forced and awkwardly added into the Xbox 360 platform in the same way as the 32X was to the Genesis, sure. The main difference here is that it is actually somewhat planned and they have no other major platform being released around the same time. They are also most certainly planning heavy budget releases for both platforms all next year, and likely the year after. Also, even if Kinect is a travesty in sales... Microsoft's endless pockets WILL make it eventually succeed and in some way (talking way, way into the future) it will most likely be the base technology of what is used in every television and probably homes in general.

In comparison, the 32X is just something that makes the console more powerful. On paper this is a fantastic concept IMHO, but nothing like what Kinect is, which is nothing like the base console.

It's a shame that Little Big Plante 2 has been delayed until January, hopefully The Shoot is good.

Fuck The Shoot, it's all about Razing Storm!  :afroman:

I discovered the other day that Razing storm also comes with Time Crisis 4 and some Pirate themed shooter too, so that's nice.

Yeah, the Razing Storm looks like the Move title I would want to check out the most since I love Time Crisis.

Razing Storm demo sucks, so I hear. The Move tracking sucks at least.

That Microsoft comment was insulting.

When did it became normal for a company to badmouth a product from a company that's WORKING FOR THEM? What the fuck!

If my Xbox was still working, I'd break it.

They are not really badmouthing them as much as they are saying that they are going to make sure Kinect does not turn into what happened to the 32X, which is one of the best known game platform failures of all time. They are not badmouthing SEGA at all.

Focusing and comparing one of their partners failures isn't badmouthing?

There was also a bit where Spencer laid a turd in the 32X slot and laughed out loud. I think he brought the turd with him in a baggie, so it was obviously planned. I think they've since edited that part out of the article, but it was there!

It is not really the same thing. In your case it is closer to a surgeon not doing what he is supposed to be doing, and the next surgeon says that s/he will not fail the same way the last one did. It is a completely fair comparison, Microsoft did not even bring it up at all either, someone else did.

Also, Barry the Manilow is right, they originally had a section about releasing a turd into the 32X. It was even in front of children!

That turd you speak of was going to be called Virtua Hamster

...which needs a PSN/XBLA motion control release.

Virtua Hamster was the worst and most awkward thing I ever saw, but I love it because the title has Virtua in it, and that is really strange for a game about a hamster.

Barry, because almost all of us hate the motion control stuff and because I think it would be funny and this is a SEGA forum, give this topic the subtitle of "Rise of Nightmares".

Motion Control Wars: Rise of Nightmares.



Oh God, it's terrible!! ARRRGGHHHH GET IT AWAY!!

(Raw Danger is related because a sequel to it is coming to PlayStation Move)

As long as some motion control platform gets House of the Dead 4, I'll be happy.

Child of Eden looks gorgeous as well.

Have you seen that new news bit?
During some time you can send photos of happy memories of yours to Q! and they'll include them in the game's ending.
