Microsoft cancels Gore Verbinski's Kinect game

Microsoft doesn't need this game anyway, it's got plenty of other upcoming....oh wait.

hmm. i guess it doesn't 'Matter' after all.

F*CK  Kinect! I have an Xbox 360 now. If Microsoft forces me to pay for Kinect and integrates it into the new Xbox, then I'm getting a PS4.  Period!  I get upset even when I accidentally wander into Kinect Central on the Dashboard. It's like a nightmare buffet of dance games and unresponsive neo-Wii shovelware. I understand that Kinect is great for younger kids.  I get it.  But if thats the case, then offer Kinect 2.0 as a peripheral, and let those parents that want it, pay extra for it!  Dont put the burden and expense on the majority of gamers that don't want it.  What if Microsoft put HD-DVD into the Xbox 360 intead of making it a peripheral? That lives on a shelf in my hallway closest. I pray that the Kinect idea will someday end up in my hallway closet right next to that HD-DVD peripheral.

Molyneux showed how a kinect game could look like partially!
MILO was a good demo...shame that no dev has balls to make a big kinect game!

The Kinect rarely has anything good going for it anyway so this is one cancellation that few will be unhappy about. But it's no sign that Microsoft is giving up on the crappy motion sensing gimmick... (Which they should in my opinion for duping so many consumers into buying a faulty product)

Considering how bad kinect games are, in general, I can only imagine this one must have been E.T The Extra-Terrestrial levels of awfulness to get cancelled.

Really doesn't seem like much support for Kinect anyway.

When talking about this game, Gore Verbinski said that people who haven't played games before think they are emotionless because you are sitting in place and not moving around. I take this as a sign that they never had any sort of actual game design in place and that's why it's been canceled. 

They probably never got past the concept trailer & the standard issue "person who works in the film industry says something about video games that doesn't make any sense & entirely misses the point of the medium" stuff.

Potentially one of the only games that could peak my interest with Kinect has now been cancelled... Classic.

This is exactly what the system needs for gods sake, not dance games, not little childish titles... it needs things that fully appreciate the technology.  When you look at the things university PhD students have achieved with Kinect some of it is unbelievable.

If Microsoft are so desperate to push Kinect they need to embrace innovative ideas and developers that think 'out of the box'.  I seriously have very little hope for the 720 the way things are going.. I see more and more a living room entertainment system as opposed to a games console.

And nothing of value was lost. I've been able to say that a LOT lately. Weird.

Wouldn't that just encourage him to take his exclusives elsewhere?

whats the point of kinect if the games made for it sucks?

the cg was epic though..they should make that on ps4

Better with Kinect, except it doesn't exist. >.>

The less resources spent on motion controls, the better.

Thats a bad start MS..

I think the reason people hate Kinect that they felt betrayed because the advertisments promised so much. More than the device could do.

I'm personally disappointed because I bought Kinect yet most of the games are like dance central and for kids. I was promised more games like The Rising of Nightmares which I loved so much and loved to see more of it.

Aww, I was sort of kind of fairly intrigued by this game :P

And it's gonna be the same story again...most Xbox games are shooter and they prob only care about that genre.....no new ideas, no creativity, no new concept....only mindless shooting games

uh huh.......so?

well the loss of a kinect game is nothing to cru over so we all good right?

If you don't like it, don't buy it.  Don't come on every Kinect related article to say how much it sucks.  I play games like Witcher and BF3 but I enjoy Kinect games sometimes because it's different, and a way to get normally non-gamers involved (GF for example).  You don't have to hate Kinect if you're a "core" gamer.  You can like both, it's ok.  If you want a good Kinect game that's not Sports/Fitness related, try out Child of Eden or Gunstringer.  Both excellent.

Its better than the Eyetoy way on the PS2, it still has some more time to mature but in the end it will aid in a new way for gamers to game.  

I have not seen one Kinect game that actually enhances your experience in terms of control or fun.  All it is is a $150 paperweight that sits in front of a TV.  The only games that "work" are dance games, because they're dance games.

Can't say the same about the Wiimote, Move, or even Wii U.  At least those have these things called "buttons" and work well with games that aren't dance games, like FPS.
