well the xbox demo looks amazing, the stick figure is 1:1 precise to the actual movement, leaps and bounds improvement over the original kinect and ps3 move, it finally achieved true motion capture, and the tech is still months away for them to refine further. I can say i havent been this excited for a new console since the snes days.
If the games utilize this tech fully, it will change the way we play video games...for the better. Just imagine tennis games, boxing/fighting, and new categories of games that isnt possible with a controller..
ps: yes the heart rates, facial expression etc.. to me is all just gimmicks and pretty useless. The key here is the precise motion capture

Why on earth would I ever want to play Street Fighter, Blazblue, Guilty Gear, or Marvel with motion controls? Motion controls are not going to change gaming. It honestly never will. Let me air dash real quick by jumping to the side. So stupid. I can see someone just standing there doing shoryukens in the living room
The only parts of my body that should be moving when I play my games are my thumbs, and perhaps the third leg if something sexy shows up on screen. I just wanna chillax and play my games without having to do any sort of exercises. I'm lazy when I game. Don't wanna work out.
That's the way it should be.
If I wanted to play a fighting game with full body recognition, I can just grab my stuff and head to the gym to do some sparring.
Motion controlled gaming is cancer, virtual reality, that's a different thing, that's an entirely different thing, but we're not anywhere near that kind of gaming yet.
MS is not innovating.

No pot shots eh.
You also can't read nor engage in any kind of normal conversation.
