Seems Kinect isn't really coimpatible with watching the E3 video. Everytime someone seemed to Xbox Kinect, my Kinect thought they said Xbox next and skipped a chapter. Awesome.

I'm getting it and it's just reviewed favourably in games(tm). They gave it an 8 and said 'Heartfelt, beautiful and the best reason to buy kinect'.

EDGE gave it an 8

Child of Eden is a convincing example of how motion control can breathe new life into a niche genre.

So how is Kinect fairing, have updates improved it at all?

Noel Gallagher · 20 Jul 2011 at 10:36

I want Kinect just for Mass Effect 3! and whats great is, by then it'll be quite cheap to pick up!

Child of Eden is pretty good with it, perhaps the most accurate game in terms of hand tracking I've played so far. I think everyone is waiting for the next "wave" of games, like Kinect Sports 2 etc. as it's gone a bit quiet for big Kinect releases. I'm still impressed with the tech after several months, love navigating through Sky Go with just my hands

Those "glasses" look good above, if they don't interfere with the accuracy then they will be a godsend for some people with smaller spaces.

I use it for sports active 2 and my daughter loves Kinectimals and Fantastic pets. Tbh its had a lot more use than I thought it would...

Is the input still slightly lagging or did they solve that?

It doesn't feel laggy to me, I know there were a few issues at launch but I think over a few dash updates it has improved.

Lag can also be attributed to Kinect positioning and how well/badly a game is programmed too for a guess?

Ace! We are right on the cusp for playing space, this will make things much easier!

Got Child of Eden on rental at the moment, it really is stunning to play, controls work like a charm. The only negative is I get a bit carried away with throwing my arm around and end up with a sore arm

MoNkEyMiKeY · 20 Jul 2011 at 19:13

Apparently M$ warned against using the Nyko Zoom.

PiKe · 21 Jul 2011 at 10:02

What are the official space requirements for Kinect?

Torch [P4] · 23 Jul 2011 at 20:28

"Microsoft suggests a space of six feet by six feet in front of the Kinect sensor for one player, and eight feet by six feet for two players."

PiKe · 26 Jul 2011 at 14:15

Will Child of Eden work without needing to see your feet?

Shamikebab · 26 Jul 2011 at 14:25

Yeah it's hands only.

PiKe · 27 Jul 2011 at 11:42

But initial setup requires full body to be visible? I'm just trying to work out if I could make it work as my bed is in the way
