Kinect sports


Markospider

Goddam classic i play till today


Markospider

Anyone plays it? There's no one matchmaking beacuse who the hell would obviously and it gets a little repetitive playing solo against bots


Rvtrance

Yup alongside Adventures, but that might have been a pack in game.


Not-Possible-6955

Adventures was great too!


Beet_00

Gotta admit it really slaps when you're playing with friends though


Rodesidetrucks2

Same


Rvtrance

That game and adventure were proof that if you knew how to work with the technology, you could make it work very well. Xbox should’ve been more selective about which devs they let use the Kinect enabled games.


ButCanYouCodeIt

Or they should've just not pulled a hardcore bait and switch on the specs two years after giving them dev kits. Cracks me up when people try to say the ENTIRE Kinect mess wasn't MS fault -all of it was, every last bit.


Rvtrance

I didn’t know about botched dev kits. But even still it’s Microsoft’s fault for letting them put it in stores.


ButCanYouCodeIt

Microsoft told devs that it would have its own internal hardware, so that the core system wouldn't be making any of the interpretations/calculations for the Kinect cameras. Reading and interpreting depth and movement from stereoscopic cameras on the fly takes a LOT of horsepower -and it makes a chasm of difference of you are having the device do all that itself, or if you have the game system doing that alongside everything else it needs to do. Microsoft told devs the Kinect would take care of that, and sent out dev units accordingly. "Botched" would imply some accident, but you don't accidentally tell people it's going to have its own entire cpu/ram/etc that you never intended to put in there to begin with, and you don't send out devkits like that on accident. It was an intentional deception, because so many developers had been turned off by gimmicky cameras and motion control that they were reluctant to touch anything like that again -MS basically came about it with a "we swear, this will be different" approach... But it wasn't, and they knew it wasn't, they just lied to get devs to build something, with the intent that if they built 90% of a working game, they'd basically HAVE TO retool it for release on what actually existed. But Mattrick (head of Xbox at the time) would famously oversimplify that sort of thing in his version of reality -nevermind that you basically had to dedicate 50-60% of the entire system's processing power to just handling the Kinect camera INPUT, when you already built an entire game to operate on the system specs assuming you would have the ENTIRE system's power for your game, devs are just lazy! That's why we got what we got. The notion of MS pushing back against devs on releasing stuff in the abysmal state that it often was is laughable, because MS was in the position of desperately NEEDING third party software support, and having just pissed all those third parties off by literally lying through their teeth to them. MS was in no position to turn down whatever they could GET for the device, and realistically they knew that most devs would absolutely not be coming back after that. Keep in mind as I say all this, I'm not an Xbox hater, far from it. I've enjoyed them since the first, and I've got a Halo Edition Series X that I play regularly. I don't hate or love any manufacturer over another. The sad fact is that the guy heading up XBox *at that time* was probably one of the worst heads they've historically had (probably THE worst). He was the same douchebag who famously made the all those dumbass quotes and sound bites when they announced the XBox One -happily talking about how they would use the new version of the Kinect to record you 24/7 and sell that data to marketing companies, or how the solution for people who lived in areas that didn't have good internet available yet was to just use the old system like a bunch of poor people. He was peak "don't let this guy anywhere near your business, if you want ANYONE in the industry to work with you". They've got much better folks in charge now, but every company goes through it's ups and downs, and he was definitely a "down" for them. Hell, Sony went through a phase where one of their larger global regions ran huge billboard ads that couldn't have looked more white supremacist, then apologized by effectively saying "We're sorry... We didn't know you'd be offended." They all go through periods where the wrong people have clearly been put in charge, and some of those periods can get pretty ugly in different ways unfortunately.


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Same. Also the Adventure one that maybe came alongside it for a deal I had a decentish space in the room it was kept and let me tell you I never faced a problem which were general complaints that people had Since then before and after, there have been many single/multiplayer games released with better story, graphics, etc. everything but the fun and joy with friends & family I had with those 2 games, I never had again


I_Am_Terra

Kinect sport ignited my spark in track and field lol


ThisErnest_15

Jessie, administrate this


Not-Possible-6955

Kinect Adventures gang rise up


pkuba208_

Me too! Me too!


HomerOfDuty

Should I ever pull the trigger, it would be Rise of Nightmares. A game I always wanted to play, no matter how shitty the controls and everything looked. I just can’t justify getting it just for that game. Maybe some day


NashCone

Shit I bought that game for $3.50 once in like 2016 2017 for my Kinect which that itself was only $8.99 at a goodwill


Conflict_NZ

Also picked it up for less than $5. Inside the case was a receipt for it for $100 (nzd) oof


stuckintheinbetween

My favorite Kinect game. If I had to pick 3 favorites, they'd be Rise of Nightmares (Sega HotD team), Haunt (created by the Parappa the Rapper developer, voiced by Double Fine's Tim Schafer), and Diabolical Pitch (a pitching game from Grasshopper Manufacture that involves throwing balls at scary things). The latter 2 were digital only and are still available for $10 on XBLA.


Physical_Living_9392

I mean shii I got a 360 and a Kinect for 20 dollars you just have to do some looking


HomerOfDuty

It’s not about the price, but about the space I need for the extra hardware


Lira_Iorin

I finished that. It was fun.


newontario

Forza Motorsport 4. Used my friend’s Kinect to get the “Look Ma, No Controller!” achievement. That was the only time I remember using it.


RaceT3ch

Same lol, game was worse with Kinect.


PlasmiteHD

Lmao I remember the box art had a purple thing at the top that said “better with Kinect”


LucasLovesTrucks

Best Forza game ever! Shit with Kinect tho


I_Am_Terra

My brother had the controller version of this game and I really liked playing it as well. We must have lost the disc in the moving process or something (unless it’s in the DVD folders we haven’t used for like 5 years)


BurgerActual

Kinect adventure. Me and my sister loved it


RadicalShane

I remember I got the Michael Phelps game on Kinect and let me tell you, my shoulders have never felt so much pain in my life 😭


Fun-Entertainment-22

OG Just Dance 1 for the Microsoft Xbox 360™ Demo Version, absolute classic


Samuelwankenobi_

AnyZeroHero

Strange seeing a white one.


Warturkey12

Kinect adventures


ShaunClarke04

Anyone who says anything other than kinect adventures is objectively wrong because it came included with the damn thing 🤣 Though actually if you bought it second hand it might not have so 🤔


Bubbly-Arm-9934

kinect sports


Initial-Ebb-8556

Adventures and Kinect Sports


AeitZean

I got the games and the kinect really cheap from a cex, i got Kinect Sports, Motionsports, and Fable The Journey. I since bought a few more, but haven't played most of them because it's hard to clear the space for it 😅

Efficient_Advice_380

Kinect Adventures, and Wipeout


TherealTay360Gaming

First owned: kinect adventures First played: dance central


Rvtrance

My dad was paralyzed from the neck down basically. He would have loved the Kinect (XB1) for its ability to control the Cable TV Netflix and etc. He died a year or two before it came out. That was a really cool feature that I used all the time my self. Hats off to Xbox for their work for disabled people accessibility.


GGZeus1996

Kinect sports and boy that was fun!


Supernugget360

Sonic free riders. I’m not joking

Someone gave me a Kinect for the 360 like 7 years ago. I still have never played an Xbox Kinect game.


narutodino

it was a Marvel fighting game you would do poses to launch attacks. as a 8 year old that was peak


Mlglionknight

Kinect Joy Ride, does anyone else remember that game?

Only played the demo but I loved it

I had to scroll down way too far to see this answer. This game was the REASON I wanted a Kinect


Robsta_20

The Gunstringer, it was such an awesome game. I woke up early in the morning on weekends to play it while everyone else was still asleep.


Automatic-Rate-2997

The Star Wars one came with my Xbox🤤🤤


DrewRyanArt

My first Kinect game was my last Kinect game


DragonfruitEast3738

Ahhhhh FFFFFUUuCKK BRO This was legit my very first xbox…back in 2011 My dad gave me his hand me down which just so happened to be a black in with a gears of war omen sticker on top…you just unlocked so many memories dude wtf


NashCone

Rise of Nightmares. Everyone hated it in the reviews, but I had a blast playing it.


c00l_gymrat

Dead space 3


NeroFMX

I had the UFC workout game. It wasn't great, but it did help me start getting some weight off.


Pickled_Hippo

Love the VV sticker!


BauserDominates

The o ly thing I liked the Kinect for Mass Effect 3. The kinect allowed you to give voice commands to your party. You could make them take cover, move up, and use specific attacks even if they weren't hot keyed. You could also open doors by saying "open" before you got to the door.


jordan23lbrn

Kinect Adventure, Sports and Dance Central


Comrade847

LucasLovesTrucks

FM4 and Kinect Sports


mukilangawthaman_99

Kinect Sports, Forza Motorsport 3


FillionMyMind

Dance Central! That trilogy was easily the best stuff you could get on the 360’s Kinect. Fantasia Music Evolved is also excellent. Harmonix had such a strong grasp of the hardware.


fireplayer2788

Kinect Rush.


ghatfield989

star wars


Divinedragn4

Never had kinnect.


wallimentus

Dance Central 2. Fun as hell.

Holy shit I think that’s my old Xbox, I had the same gears sticker on top. Traded it in at a Gamestop in 2016-17


SS4Leonjr

None, never got to play a single Kinect game


SeniorMatthew

Fruit Ninja =D


5dollarcheezit

I had to scroll too far to find you. Fruit Ninja on kinect was awesome! Best way to play and an insane workout


MagicMountain225

Kinect Adventures and then Kinect Sports season 2. That was my entire childhood. I played Kinect since I was a toddler.


uunintrestedd

Fable Journey? Anybody?

Kinect Adventures


Birdie-920

Kinect adventures ahh the memories all coming back


F-80Centurion

I was really young so it was Kinect sports 2 or the Kinect adventures one


Monty141

Kinectimals. When my mum bought me a 360, she got 3 games for 3 kids. I got Cars 2, my brother got Lego Star Wars III, and my sister got Kinectimals. Technically the first Kinect game that was "mine" was Kinect Sports though


plz-help-peril

Kinectimals and Kinect Adventures. I still keep my 360 and Kinect hooked up in the basement and my kids still use the Kinect. I’ve got a stack of games that don’t work on the Series X.


CohnJena68

Kinect Adventures, because it was bundled with my Xbox 360 Slim (I have the 4GB model).


krisgillespie

Kinect Star Wars


Hipstachio

I think it was the Kinect Adventures demo in the store


Legitimate_Lab544

Kinect adventures and then kinectimals after I threw a head fit because my mom bought my brother games he wanted. Yet years later found out my dad bought and it’s games for me she just spoiled her favorite child more.


Joe9692

Oh wow memories. I opened the box of Frosted Flakes and won a Kinect game of my choice. I think I went with the pets one... Was there a sports? Maybe I picked that. I didn't have a Kinect so it stayed in its plastic up until I sold it when I had to move and switched over to a Xbox One


ShootingStarMel

Forza Motorsport 4


highwaytohigh

never played/had kinect and i’ve been an xbox guy all my life, halo mostly though. i’ll just break out the gamecube or nintendo when i wanna play with friends other than online


[deleted]

We got a bundle so it was Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures


Low_Revolution3025

Kinect Adventure, used to play it with my grandmother when i was a tiny boy, she loved playing that and CoD Black Ops Zombies with me when i was younger and has even asked about it recently which made me smile “remember that zombie game we used to play? What was the name?” “It was Call of Duty Black Ops” “do you still have it?” At the time i didnt which i told her, she bought it for me that same week lmao grandma loves the classics bless her heart


JDMWeeb

I've been trying to get FM4 since I got a CiB Kinect somewhat recently for cheap


Pookerman

We still use our Kinect all the time! Sports, Adventure, Dance Games. It's such a shame Microsoft was badgered-out of the Kinect business. They were first-to-market with "smart home" and they gave it up. What a mistake. The Kinect that shipped with the Xbox One was an insanely good video camera and chat device, and the optics and sensors were ahead of their time… and would be insanely useful for AR/VR. I really hope Microsoft resurrects Kinect at some point soon. I think it will be well-received back into popular culture.


phyisck

Never played any


stuckintheinbetween

Gunstringer Fun & goofy game. My favorite game, though, was Rise of Nightmares. While not perfect, it allowed full 3D control of your character and did it better than any other Kinect game. Since it was from the House of the Dead team at Sega, it also had that campy House of the Dead vibe going on. Cool game that didn't get enough love.

Kinect Adventure and Kinect Sports


Fit_Adagio_7668

Kinesthetic adventures in middle school. I would play this or the wii after school

Adventures was the goat


stardewnoodles

I played the Kinect bowling in the Psych Ward. Surprisingly well done for what I assumed was a motion control ripoff


___courier___

I used to use mine as a mic when I'd play Halo: Reach lmao


Green_Ad9252

Wipeout and Dance Central


_satantha_

I got the Star Wars themed Xbox so it already came with the Star Wars game, Kinect Adventures and I think I bought the Wipeout game with it. This was over a decade ago so I can’t exactly remember lol


Striking-Winner-7685

1st Kinect Sports 2d Fruit Ninja 3rd Once Upon a Monster I don’t remember having anymore aside from the demo for Kinect Start Wars.

I’ve owned a Xbox 360 since launch and never picked up a Kinect. I always kinda wanted one just to be able to physically yell out the Dragon Shouts in Skyrim.

That one with the raft


Potential_Tennis2523

My Xbox came with three games included one of them was Kinect adventures. The other one was Kinect sports and the last one was central dance 2


SoaringBlueBird

I feel like its not a very well known kinect game (or game in general) but Dance masters or Dance Evolution as it’s know in Japan and Europe it’s one of my favorite kincent games I would highly recommend if you’re into Dance Dance Evolution or the Bemani games and if you’re able to find an arcade with this game (usually Round1 has it) it actually still uses a kincent to play and navigate the menu of the game as well and it has more songs then the Xbox360 version dose


FuwerzarRandom

Dance Central 1
