Rise of Nightmares is a pretty surprising Kinect title. First, because it is destined to a mature audience, which is not usually the case when it comes to Kinect. And finally because for once, you get to control your character in first person view entirely, which includes moving and walking around. Until we get our copy of the game with SEGA and we can give you our impressions, here is a new promotional video.

OK, that's freaky, we literally posted at the exact same second, lol!

I've changed it anyway, so it's clear to everyone. :)

I'm going to post the video review I posted in the chat window because I think it's actually a very important video. Not because it's a positive review but because it shows that the guy really "gets" Kinect. I don't know if he "got" Kinect previously but by the end of the review it's clear he understands at least some of the potential. I'm hoping that when people play Rise Of Nightmares (or even after watching the video) they'll "get" Kinect too if they haven't before.

Edit: I just remembered that just recently you thought that Rise Of Nightmares was an on-rails shoot-em-up so your opinion of the game is actually worthless, especially since you say positive reviews won't change your mind even though they've actually played the game wheareas you don't even seem to have paid attention to any footage you may have seen.

in reference to your "EDIT", that is case in point. why explain myself to someone incapable of accepting opinion? it'd be a waste of time. just accept that i think it look shit, and i'll accept you think it's the second coming of christ since it's a kinect game? sound reasonable? good.

i really dont know what you are trying to achieve here tbh? maybe convince me kinect is a decent development platform? lol, sorry, not gonna happen. not untill something i like the look of is shown or something where kinect is a "prefared" and "ideal" form of control, not simply an alternative to the superiour game-pad. but based on EVERYTHING released for kinect thus far, i dont see that ever happening.
the sooner you accept that not eveyone likes kinect, or the games on it, the sooner you can stop being so defensive. ;) i think kinect is a huge waste of time...stop acting like i've just slapped your first born, it's an opinion about an electrical appliance for christ sake.

the first trailer i ever watched for this game made it look like like it was on-rails (a blame the piss poor trailer that didnt explain things properly, but seeing as i wasnt the only one, how am i to blame for their poor PR?). i have since read and seen enough to know it is not. guess what? i still think it looks like a poorly made, badly designed pile of shit. i think the gameplay looks clunky and boring, the "story" looks like shit, the voice acting terrible, the art style uninspired, lacks atmosphere and the graphics dated.... and on top of it all, it's controlled via the kinect, a laggy, inprecise peice of tech (yes, i have used it, and yes, it was in "optimal" conditions). i know why *I* dont like it, now explain to me why you are finding it SO FUCKING DIFFICULT to accept my own opinion? does me not liking it someone lower your own appreciation for the title? no, so what is your problem here? that i dont like a game you do after seeing and reading plenty about it? lol, deal with it.
it's the same concerning dead island. the game looks like a budget title to me. bugs, glitches, gameplay looks tedious and the atmosphere story and voice work is just poor (all typical of techland). it's getting 8's and 9's, but i still dont like the look of it. this game could get the best reviews of the year. but i'd still think it looked crap. but hey, that's known as pesonal taste...that's known as an opinion....a number doesnt change it.
i really dont know what else to tell you.

See, you just state lies. Claiming that Kinect is "a laggy inprecise piece of tech" is just plain wrong. Unless you think the same of joypads? Unlike you I have not only got Kinect but also measured the lag on various games and it's pretty much the same as a joypad. (A joypad when playing 30fps games.) Currently the lowest lag a Kinect game can have is 102ms (admittedly I don't know if any games have that yet, I think the lowest I've measured is 133ms, the same as Bioshock when frame-locked, GTA4, Mirrors Edge and Lego Batman just to name a few, in fact 133ms is roughly the average lag for 30fps joypad games as in a lot of games have that not that in all games that's the average lag) whereas the lowest lag a 30fps joypad game can have is 100ms, 2ms difference is imperceptible. To put it in perspective the average blink of an eye is 300-400ms
Also, if it was so iMprecise then explain Child Of Eden? Is it magic? Rise Of Nightmares itself? Fruit Ninja? The Gunstringer? The Ghost Recon demo? How about Blackwater which relies on aiming precision to fire? Plus of course numerous "Kinect hack" videos including people playing RTS games with Kinect? See, FACTS trump opinion. Claiming the opposite is basically political correctness AKA marxism.
If you don't like the look of Rise Of Nightmares (or Dead Island) then fine, of course you're entitled to your opinion on games in general. But going into threads and posting that you think it's shit even though you've never played it, don't have a Kinect and don't even seem to have a clue about either the game or even Kinect really is just trolling. Like I said, I don't go into threads about games on systems I don't own to say how bad I think the games are even if I don't really know anything about them because I'm not a TROLL! In fact if I ever do post on another system's games, which is very rarely, it's usually to say that I was impressed by them and wished that either the games or similar games (if they're for example Sony made, so would never be released on the Xbox 360) would be released on the system I own.

This is the best Kinect can do make slow with no feddback. Also the game should be played seated.
