First Kinect Bloopers Hit the Web

Posted on Saturday, November 6 @ 20:20:18 Eastern by

Be the controller or be a victim of a Kinect-related injury.



Immediately after the Wii introduced motion controls to the market, the internet was flooded with videos of unfortunate users in all kinds of sad situations. Some lost their grip on the Wii-mote, sending it soaring into their expensive HDTVs. Others inflicted pain and injury to friends and loved ones by not paying close enough attention to where they were flailing their arms.

Kinect just launched this past week, ushering in a new era of controller-less gaming to the masses. The lack of controller would mean no chance to cause harm to your television or injure innocent bystanders, right? Wrong.

Here's all the Kinect-related bloopers we could find thus far. Much more to come we're sure.



This first image shows a picture of a broken LCD screen. But if there's no controller, then how did this even happen? The self-proclaimed moron leaves these wise words of warning:

"Do not under any circumstances play Kinect Sports Volleyball at 1:30 a.m. while standing under a ceiling fan with a dangling chain for a light switch. You could conceivably spike it into your year-old amazing TV, causing it to die with a rainbow LCD teardrop dripping down from the impact wound."

Broken TV? Check. Ceiling fan-related destruction? Check. Now... to slap a little girl in the face and flying elbow a young boy. Check out these embarrassing vids:

    Yup, read that yesterday. Just like Nick's review says, it definitely requires a lot of space. You'd think people would have learned that after how long the Wii has been out. Just because they removed the controller doesn't mean they removed the possibility for you to whack something.

    Sorry but the Kinect is too little too late, and Sony already perfect Nintendo's hardware, but all three systems have a lot of shovelware for their systems (the Wii less so), and Kinect really let me down after the amazing tech display from E3 2009.

    I think he's talking about the Move and Kinect exclusively from the Playstation 3 and Xbox360.

    What I find funniest is that the Kinect could tell that those two people (second video) were slowly drifting closer and closer together, it just didn't care.

    lol I love that term, shoverlware... Its a good point though. I can see motion gaming as a fad, with mostly crappy games made that no one will ever buy, while games that actually require a controller will probably stick around. My 2 bits, anyway.

    For a fad, Nintendo seems to be doing fine.

    Every piece of technology has its proper place and application. Personally, I think motion gaming will stick around in some capacity. It all depends on the type of game. For example, I don't see how an FPS along the lines of Halo or CoD could be done without some kind of controller, but other types of games like golf or volleyball work fine with the technology. As far as these bloopers, people just need to be something other than stupid with it.

    Hey guys,

    Kinect will get good sales initially, it'll have one or two "must-have" games, then it will die in a very short amount of time. Sony's Move will have less sales, one or two "must-have" games then die even faster. WiiHD will come out next year and hopefully we'll get the games we all really wanted when we first heard about the Wii.
