So, you’re standing there in your living room with your shiny new Kinect motion sensing camera, you insert the bundled copy of Kinect Adventures, but feel something is missing.
Then suddenly it clicks, you realise you need a boat.
“The first product in the Play On line-up brings the entertainment of Kinect Adventures game out of the tv set, directly in your living room!”
“Game it Real! With this real-size replica of Kinect Adventures’s awesome dinghy.”
If this is the first product, we can’t wait to see what’s coming next.

This is a joke, surely? Theres no way anyone would be able to even fit that in there living room? right?

I find if fascinating how, so many years later, designers still resort to Indiana Jones-like typesetting to convey the idea of “adventure”.
hazelam
and you know the worst thing, there are people that will actually buy it.

Is this not going to get in the way of the recent recommendations that the floor needs to be clear/tidy for Kinect to work correctly??
And simply what benefit does this add to gameplay?? The mind boggles.
Heres hoping theres a replica bat mobile I can sit in in my living room ready for Arkham City

I thought the only accessories possible for the kinect would be additional prosthetic limbs

Worst peripheral ever? I honestly think this is worse than Ninty’s Power Glove. at least that had some practical applications. This is shameful!

Unless you live in Tewkesbury.

Was that a real picture? Looked suspiciously like someone had placed a rather detailed model in a dirty puddle! Then again if it is real then the dinghy would come in handy though you could probably only fit one person in it at a time and I’d seriously doubt it’s seaworthiness:)
cc_star
Yep, real.

Yikes!

I thought the whole point of Kinect was that you didn’t need peripherals, it was meant to be totally independant, a revolution. Hit a wall there did you Microsoft?
Juelz345
…again…not made by Microsoft…
jayjay119
I doesn’t matter whether it was made by microsoft or not, they were the ones who said nothing was needed as Kinect was this super awesom device that would change gaming and would need no peripherals. Microsoft didn’t make it but they are allowing it, so they may as well have made it! It just undermines their whole concept!

MS said it doesn’t need any and it doesn’t. It OBVIOUSLY doesn’t need this. Saying that they allowed it so they might as well have made it, is such a broken argument I don’t know where to begin.
Accessory makers are constantly making useless peripherals for every console and hand held out there. If they want to pay the console manufactures a licensing fee or whatever fee it is that they have to pay, then why the hell would the company not take the money.
Do you really think that this device (as stupid as it is) is going yo change the mind of someone who wants Kinect? If that’s the case I can send a link to a few horrible 3rd party move accessories. Hell, just check out the source link in the article.
The Wii has about 6.9 million (FACT) retarded accessories. Has that affected sales or undermined the Wii?
So yeah, it does matter that MS didn’t make it. You cant say that they “hit a wall” because of something that they haven’t been involved with in any way apart from allowing a peripheral manufacturer to manufacture a peripheral. Especially since that same manufacturer has made items for Sony and Nintendo. And to be technical (i.e accurate), the “whole point of Kinect” is that you don’t need a controller. This OBVIOUSLY isn’t a controller.
