Peter Molyneux has been taking time off from making games to talk about Kinect. Again. Mr. Molyneux is a big fan of the forthcoming motion control system so his praise for two of the big launch titles for the new motion controller seem somewhat.. subdued.
“I’ve played [Kinect] Sports,” said Peter, “I’ve actually played a hell of a lot of Sports. And it’s pretty good. And [Kinect] Adventures is pretty good.”
Just ‘pretty good’, not ‘fantastic’, ‘superb’ or ‘awesome’, just ‘pretty good’. Peter continues,
“Considering the amount of time, I think they’re pretty good experiences. I think anybody that gets Kinect that and buys those titles, they’re not gonna be disappointed.”
Again the games are ‘pretty good’ but what is more interesting is the phrase ‘considering the amount of time’ which seems to suggest the Kinect titles have had a shorter development time than other games. This is strengthened by Peter’s next comment,
“They [gamers] should really, really be excited by what comes next. ‘Cause that’s what I judge Kinect on is what the next step is.”
So to summarise: Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures are ‘pretty good’ but the second wave of games will be much more exciting. Are a couple of ‘pretty good’ games worth spending £130 on? Not long till we find out…
