Hardcore gamers react to Microsoft?s heavy Kinect focus at E3
TNW is not a publication that covers games, gamers, or gaming culture too often, but there are exceptions. We kept an eye on Microsoft today at its E3 keynote because it was important enough to warrant coverage from any watchdog of the company.
We?re glad we tuned in as it was rather eye-opening. Microsoft laid out its strategy for the future of console gaming: the Kinect, the Kinect, and more Kinect. The whole ordeal was a never-ending parade a Kinect-infused gaming.
No one at TNW is big on console gaming, so we were somewhat ambivalent to the new trend. But as it turns out, those who do love console gaming, the people who have owned an Xbox 360 since they first came out, are not ambivalent. Nor are they happy. They seem, in fact, to be up in arms over the Kinect and its, in their view, encroachment into their world.
We sashayed over to the Gaming subreddit, which has over 500,000 members, and took an image of their response to the Microsoft keynote. What follows is a screenshot of the front page of reddit.com/r/gaming as of this moment. Everything that is boxed in red is either a Kinect diss, or a negative reaction to the overall Microsoft E3 demonstration:
