+1 making this thread in the General Non-RPG forum.
The giant pink polka dotted elephant in the room when it comes to Kinect is that it is such a gigantic resource hog on already substantially aged technology that was arguably under-RAMed from the start.
That aside, I'm also not a big fan of the over-focus in recent years on changing the way we interact with games. There are some good uses for devices such as the Wii Remote and whatnot. But I always thought the 'big pitch' for consoles was that you could get nice and cozy on your couch and play on a BIG screen TV.
Then out come all these different devices that get you off the couch and jumping around. Sometimes I don't mind moving around playing a game. But when it comes to RPGs… I really don't want my body to be the controller. I just want a traditional controller that allows me to control the game. That is it. Don't fix it if it ain't broke and all that.
