I feel like higher-ups genuinely thought it was possible and promised it to the public before ever consulting the dev team if it was even possible. I can imagine the horrified dev team seeing the E3 presentation and cursing at the screen.
@@gloriouseagle433 I mean to be fair they were extremely inexperienced in marketing and better as devs. It seemed like they knew what they wanted and just couldn't get there in time as they were constantly asked about features that they did want but we're unable to differentiate expectations from reality. Even now it's getting updated to include more of what was promised.
Because realistically everything they promised wasn't that "difficult" but putting it all together was extremely difficult in terms of time. They didn't create a movie to fake everyone they just promised more features than they could give on release
That was Peter Molyneux, famous for overpromising really weird and specific features that nobody asked for and basically brainstorming them live in interviews without even talking to his dev team first.
HOLY SHIT, mine did that too. I thought I was the only one. And anywhere I tried moving it wouldn’t work because of shadows being detected as solid objects, essentially making the Kinect unusable.

My sister and I wanted a Wii for years (*all* of our friends had one) and somehow our parents translated this into “Surely they want an Xbox Kinect” even though we’d never even heard of it, and the way we found out we’d gotten it-at the end of the day on Christmas because it was too stuck behind the tree for us to see earlier-feels fitting. Also Kinectimals personally betrayed me by crashing and losing my save data on the second-to-last sub level on the final ice mountain and I have never forgiven Microsoft for it. I still don’t know how the game ends
OMG I REMEMBER THIS There was this one video where this girl was trying to figure out what outfit to wear, she was video chatting with her friend and they had like this virtual closet that she could like “test out” her clothes virtually. That was the thing that got me the most hyped for this project...and then they just _didn’t_
Just a fun fact: the clown song you played is called “Entrance of the Gladiators” by Czech composer Julius Fučík for the Austro-Hungarian Army. It’s just one of my favorite classical music facts that this song that could only be for clowns is actually about Gladiators entering the arena where they’re about to die.
I know we didn’t know better back in 2009, but hearing that Peter Molyneux lied about something fills me with a truly profound sense of complete apathy
The worst part is Eddy blaming Microsoft for Molyneux's obvious and blatant lies. If it wasn't capable, why did they "program" a fake game/experience without the hardware and fake voice performances? He knew, he lied like always and then deflected the blame.
The most interesting thing about all of this is that the Kinect tech did work, or at least the camera part of it did. The Kinect was actually the go to camera for a lot of robotics projects for a while because there wasn't much else out there that could map out a 3D space as well as it. The problem was that the 360 didn't have anywhere near the processing power to parse the data that the Kinect was reading, so compromises were made, reducing the fidelity of the 3D mapping, lowering the refresh rate, etc. resulting in games functioning horribly with it.
Just a slight correction, there's always been a lot of stuff that could map a space better than a Kinect, it wasn't any miracle sensor. It became the go-to for robotics just because it was decent, but mass produced (so really cheap) and easy to use... Other solutions were way better and more refined, but also more expensive and complex....

SlyCedix cool, the camera works. But the point wasn’t to have a good quality resolution, the point was to have good motion controls. The Xbox 360 was great but the Kinect was a fail in almost every way
Dude I played Kinectables, and it was almost impossible to play the game. Like my entire family would play this game and no matter what we did we always failed the challenges and it was super frustrating because as kids you want to basically be friends with these animals and do the best with them, but it’s heart breaking when you can’t do the best for them and they literally get sad and depressed. The only time it actually worked was the app game, which was a lot better.
What? Why? What the hell? Get off your goddamn phone if you're trying to actively protest. You're not doing it right. You're wasting your time and effort like this.
As a child I spent hours on these games and actually 'beat' Kinectimals. I think how it worked was once you explored enough areas with your animal buddy you got to like a mountain where you met a golden cub - I can't remember what animal it was. But anyways as a kid who wasn't allowed a pet, loved cats, and had a lot of time to kill, I greatly enjoyed it.
Not gonna lie, Kinect Adventures (Even though it wasn’t what it was told to be) was still one of the most fun childhood game memories I have, I remember playing it all the time and loving it.
I know that Milo clip was a lie because the Kinect can’t track you when you’re that close to it. With that being said playing Just Dance was much better on the Kinect compared to the Wii.
Also, the reflection of the woman showed on the screen was obviously a prerecorded clip in front of a green screen, because you couldn’t see any of the shit that was behind her.
For sure. Remember my mom telling me I couldn’t have one because other parents were freaking out about the camera never turning off and Microsoft spying on families
@aaronsdavis They kinda did. The cameras generate a sort of topographical map of what they see in the living room and one guy playing around with the system noticed that he could see the bump of his package on the kinetic footage. However """journalists""" wrote headlines about Kinetic seeing through clothing.
To be fair to MS, the kinect was made of ground breaking tech. it was the first functioning and accurate point cloud tracking system, it could differentiate people in the same frame, even if they were partially occluded. it was blob tracking on steroids. i still see people use the kinect and point cloud tracking today and its been over 10 years. And on top of all that, they released an awesome SDK for the kinect making research a thousand times easier. i blame all of the lies and bullshit on peter molyneux and MS's marketing team for somehow dropping the ball on ground breaking tech that worked really well
Remember when they had the “preview” commercials for the Kinect and one of them was a surgeon using it to change CAT scan views mid-surgery? That would have been disastrous if actually implemented anywhere
TheGhostlyAxe I’m 18 now, I was in like kindergarten or some shit when it came out. Now I’m heading off to college and haven’t touched a console in years. PC is where I stay.
I think the Billy Crystal thing was them trying to also appeal to the older demographic, which the Wii tapped into perfectly at that time. His comment about "not having to find the right buttons" really reads like that. I'll be honest, there is something to that concept if done right. I have the oculus quest now, and had my dad try golf +. He never plays video games, at least since he played Wii golf. He was doing better than me, right away. Kinect failed, obviously, but this general concept is finally becoming a reality with vr.
After all the lies they where telling about Linux and open source in the 90ies and 00ies how would anyone believe anything they say anymore? They have a long path ahead of them to regain any trust.
Every single company at E3 did the exact same thing. Did you see the Wii Twilight Princess demo? Whatshisname was using the Wiimote and Nunchuk like a real bow and arrow (much like what you see here in the PS Move ad in this vid), but it's just point and click. They can always argue that it was going to be part of the game but they scrapped it. It's still shady, but that's the video game industry as a whole and it has always been that way. The best thing to do is not buy it.
How does Eddy gets more and more handsome???? Oh yeah, the Kinect had a lot of problems. The biggest one being that originally it had a processing unit, that was included on the devkits, but that would be REALLY expensive to the public, so they scrapped. A lot of titles took a giant hit. Project Milo was 100% lies tho. It never was something. They had 0 intent on being something.
Yeah Kinects have been used in a lot of research applications too, they're pretty good at capturing positional data. Shite for gameplay. But good for research with some aftermarket processing and noise reduction.
I had a couple friends who rigged up a kinect sensor to their computer. They invited me around one time, scanned me, then later handed me a 3D printed resin bust of myself. It was pretty cool.
8:46 fun fact about the Watch Dogs game, they did make the game that pretty on PC but at the last minute they decided to gimp the game to look closer to the xbox because they were worried with the console's launch it would make the console seem outdated by the time it was released, not to mention lengthen the loading times on consoles. so yea the e3 footage isn't edited, there's a mod that's a single line of code that brings back the fancier options.
I remember that ad with the kid scanning his skateboard into the game, and immediately a bunch of comments had pointed out it was all staged since it scanned through his fingers. But those commenters got a hell of a lot of pushback anyway. Because in those days the console war was in such a state that nothing could discredit the 360 to those who chose it. Not even an impossible ad, or an umpteenth set of three red lights.
Ah, the good ole days of the console wars. I remember I was a little kid back then and actively took part in the console wars proclaiming how much better the 360 was lmao
Dude I had the same experience with being fooled by the advertising growing up. The crazy thing is, the technology of the kinect *sensor* was incredibly advanced, they just couldn't figure out how to realistically apply it to a videogame.
Wow, it's amazing to see Eddy talk about the Skate game "demo" where you could scan your skateboard and it would appear in the game. THAT is litterally the reason I convinced my mom to buy me a Kinect when I was a kid, it was the main reason I wanted one, being a skateboarder growing up. It's crazy to see Eddy talk about that years later because I've thought about it for so many years and as a kid I was so disappointed and felt lied to, even waited for that functionality to "come out", and soon after getting it the Kinect ended up put away and collecting dust because it simply couldn't do what they promised. And that's actually really shady, because kids can't tell the difference between a "tech demo"(which it actually wasn't even that), and the real thing, so kids see that and like me, beg their parents for one, while it actually can't even do a fraction of what was advertised, and that's extremely shady and dishonest. Fruit Ninja connect was pretty fun tho.
When companies started talking about motion controls, like the wii & kinects etc, my reaction was "I don't want to move." so I never got any of them lol

my siblings and i won an xbox kinect at an arcade in 2012 ish, and i got kinect adventures for it. i think what happened in the macys demo was that the environment was messing with it or the setup wasnt done correctly, because i played kinect adventures all through my childhood and its one of my most beloved memories. it wasn't perfect, and got weird at times, but never like what happened in that video
My sister was born the day of e3 2009. I still hold a grudge since my mom deleted my recording of e3 to play her birth story. My friends updated me the next day and it sounded so cool, but my mom wouldn’t buy it since it sounded so ridiculous that she wouldn’t believe it was a real thing. Thanks mom?
They must have workshopped it and came out with a better kinect because a couple of my friends had them and we played just dance and some kind of Disney park adventure thing without a problem. In fact the only problem was that we wanted to play so often that the friends that owned them got tired of them and never wanted to play💀
My family actually owned a Kinect and the Kinect Adventures game. We also had the sports game that you showed next to it. Surprisingly, we actually got a good few years out of the game and the sensors still work. There were a lot of glitches, but once you've had the sensor for awhile you get used to it. One reason it maybe didn't work in the mall video was because the person wasn't standing in the right place, or the room wasn't calibrated correctly. (The window is small, believe me.) We still have all the games, and I'm sure we could dig them out and play them if people were interested in seeing how it worked. Hit me up Eddy if you're curious!
Yeah, I had Kinectamals and Kinect Adventures and I remember LOVING these games as a kid. Especially Adventures. Now I was young, but I remember it working great and I had loads of fun. But I probably just saw threw the glitches.
Can confirm that while Kinect’s capabilities were massively overstated and it was glitchy af, my siblings and I had a lot of fun with kinect sports, kinect adventures, and dance central

Microsoft in 2010: Get the iCarly crew but we can't afford Miranda Cosgrove. But we get the one of the new girls from that Victoria Justice show. Like SHE'S gonna go far in her career. Man... A lot can change in a decade.
I had a kinect growing up and loved it, I remember it not being able to track my body perfectly but considering it was new tech i think it worked pretty well. i think it was probably better for kids who were new to gaming (like me) because we didn’t know how advanced games could be at that age
Also really depended on set-up. I had one at home and it was pretty decent, but would make mistakes. I also had one at work in a technology lab where we could have the idea distance from the device, the device at the right height, and nothing (like a couch or other person) moving in the background and it was just about always spot on accurate under those idea conditions.
Kinectimals and Kinect Adventures were my shit. I loved those games so much, even if the tech was glitchy. Good thing I never knew the promises behind it so I had zero expectations.
I just found out he's a year YOUNGER than me :0 This is weird.... everyone on TH-cam is starting to get younger than me. I DON'T LIKE THIS! THIS IS NOT THE NATURAL ORDER!!
I absolutely loved Kinect. Really sad that it was dropped. The tech was good enough to power a ton of vision systems research at some post secondary institutions in my city because of how affordable it was.
“You merely adopted the game. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see release until I was already a *virtual man* , by then it was nothing to me but blinding!” -Milo C.2020
As someone who has a Kinect growing up, it worked kinda I guess. Sometimes it picked up on movements but most of the time it just told you you were too close to the screen or the you were too short. I’d rather play Wii sports graphics and all. It was disappointing and I’d be mad if my family hadn’t gotten it for free from a Microsoft employee
I played the Kinect at LegoLand around the time it was released. They had a lot of room, and it actually worked amazingly. My grandparents bought me one, and it didn’t work at all at the house. I was hugely disappointed

Does anyone else remember the 'controversy' where people where saying that these could see through your clothes or was that a fever dream on my end?
Oh yeaah, that was definitely a thing
For sure. Remember my mom telling me I couldn’t have one because other parents were freaking out about the camera never turning off and Microsoft spying on families
aaronsdavis
Lemme guess, you think apple is amazing
@aaronsdavis They kinda did. The cameras generate a sort of topographical map of what they see in the living room and one guy playing around with the system noticed that he could see the bump of his package on the kinetic footage. However """journalists""" wrote headlines about Kinetic seeing through clothing.
I remember people saying that other people could use it to spy on you but I don’t remember anyone saying it could see through clothes
To be fair to MS, the kinect was made of ground breaking tech. it was the first functioning and accurate point cloud tracking system, it could differentiate people in the same frame, even if they were partially occluded. it was blob tracking on steroids. i still see people use the kinect and point cloud tracking today and its been over 10 years. And on top of all that, they released an awesome SDK for the kinect making research a thousand times easier.
i blame all of the lies and bullshit on peter molyneux and MS's marketing team for somehow dropping the ball on ground breaking tech that worked really well
Remember when they had the “preview” commercials for the Kinect and one of them was a surgeon using it to change CAT scan views mid-surgery? That would have been disastrous if actually implemented anywhere
Unless it was just a surgery simulator video game.

- Eddy Burback Wednesday, February 19th, 2020
Scrolled way too far to find this
Looks like Eddy did the lying...
I'm having a mental breakdown
You're telling me kinectimals and Kinect adventures came out 10 years ago!?
TheGhostlyAxe we’re old fucks now
Kinectimals was the shit
TheGhostlyAxe I’m 18 now, I was in like kindergarten or some shit when it came out. Now I’m heading off to college and haven’t touched a console in years. PC is where I stay.
Ceey Lord oh god I’m unlocking memories I didn’t even know existed
bro stop I didn't know my panther was 10
I think the Billy Crystal thing was them trying to also appeal to the older demographic, which the Wii tapped into perfectly at that time. His comment about "not having to find the right buttons" really reads like that.
I'll be honest, there is something to that concept if done right. I have the oculus quest now, and had my dad try golf +. He never plays video games, at least since he played Wii golf. He was doing better than me, right away.
Kinect failed, obviously, but this general concept is finally becoming a reality with vr.
"You remember that time microsoft just lied to us"
You gotta be more specific than that lol
Best comment ever!
For fucking _real,_ dude.
_Oof_
Exactly what I was thinking🤣
After all the lies they where telling about Linux and open source in the 90ies and 00ies how would anyone believe anything they say anymore? They have a long path ahead of them to regain any trust.
One time I was looking in the value bin at GameStop and found Kinectimals selling for $0.
Leatheryfoot 😂
It's not even worth 0.
I dont even know what a connectimal is.
@@janosk8392 It's a game for the failed Kinect. You used gestures and yelling to play with a virtual animal.
I loved that game as a kid
looks like a good setup for a podcast

Yea, i sure wonder how many he could eat though
I do agree
That's the best set for an audio podcast I've ever seen
I’m amazed that Microsoft never got sued for this
Every single company at E3 did the exact same thing. Did you see the Wii Twilight Princess demo? Whatshisname was using the Wiimote and Nunchuk like a real bow and arrow (much like what you see here in the PS Move ad in this vid), but it's just point and click.
They can always argue that it was going to be part of the game but they scrapped it. It's still shady, but that's the video game industry as a whole and it has always been that way. The best thing to do is not buy it.
Microsoft: Who are you
Eddy: You lied to me once.
Microsoft: Do you have to slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

What the hell does this shitty comment even mean
How does Eddy gets more and more handsome????
Oh yeah, the Kinect had a lot of problems. The biggest one being that originally it had a processing unit, that was included on the devkits, but that would be REALLY expensive to the public, so they scrapped. A lot of titles took a giant hit.
Project Milo was 100% lies tho. It never was something. They had 0 intent on being something.
It's the stache

Milo was more of a Peter Molyneux lie than just an Xbox lie. Which is not that different but Peter Molyneux is still a huge liar.
@@onejohnfitzall7154 at that point, Lionhead Studios was owned by Microsoft, so no difference, really
Fun fact: Kinects are actually kind of useful for VR now because they can be used for a cheap (but kinda janky) full body tracking.
they’re also pretty sought after by artists making interactive art for this reason
Yeah Kinects have been used in a lot of research applications too, they're pretty good at capturing positional data. Shite for gameplay. But good for research with some aftermarket processing and noise reduction.
now i'm really regretting throwing away my compltely functional xbox one kinect because i had sold my xbox but forgot about selling the kinect.
ive also seen people use them for ghost hunting if you could believe it
I had a couple friends who rigged up a kinect sensor to their computer. They invited me around one time, scanned me, then later handed me a 3D printed resin bust of myself. It was pretty cool.
8:46 fun fact about the Watch Dogs game, they did make the game that pretty on PC but at the last minute they decided to gimp the game to look closer to the xbox because they were worried with the console's launch it would make the console seem outdated by the time it was released, not to mention lengthen the loading times on consoles.
so yea the e3 footage isn't edited, there's a mod that's a single line of code that brings back the fancier options.
I remember that ad with the kid scanning his skateboard into the game, and immediately a bunch of comments had pointed out it was all staged since it scanned through his fingers. But those commenters got a hell of a lot of pushback anyway.
Because in those days the console war was in such a state that nothing could discredit the 360 to those who chose it. Not even an impossible ad, or an umpteenth set of three red lights.
Ah, the good ole days of the console wars. I remember I was a little kid back then and actively took part in the console wars proclaiming how much better the 360 was lmao

Im surprised Halo's back isnt hurting from carrying xbox for all these years
Wow, it's amazing to see Eddy talk about the Skate game "demo" where you could scan your skateboard and it would appear in the game. THAT is litterally the reason I convinced my mom to buy me a Kinect when I was a kid, it was the main reason I wanted one, being a skateboarder growing up. It's crazy to see Eddy talk about that years later because I've thought about it for so many years and as a kid I was so disappointed and felt lied to, even waited for that functionality to "come out", and soon after getting it the Kinect ended up put away and collecting dust because it simply couldn't do what they promised. And that's actually really shady, because kids can't tell the difference between a "tech demo"(which it actually wasn't even that), and the real thing, so kids see that and like me, beg their parents for one, while it actually can't even do a fraction of what was advertised, and that's extremely shady and dishonest. Fruit Ninja connect was pretty fun tho.
The child actors delivery, saying «you like that? Yes you do, yes you do!» made me feel things.
Anxiety, horror and uncanny dread, mostly.
Shows how lazy my family is - everyone's talking about how their Kinect has disappeared while ours is collecting dust on our TV stand.
Same with my familys PS3
DM me your address I'll take care of it
Same right next to my Xbox 360 I only use for skyrim and my ps4 my family is shund from turning on both my Xbox and ps4 unless they wanna summon satan
My sister has a Kinect and she uses it..... She uses her Xbox one to watch Netflix and she calls herself a gamer :/
When companies started talking about motion controls, like the wii & kinects etc, my reaction was "I don't want to move." so I never got any of them lol
TH-cam: You can't advertise to kids because they don't know the difference.
Microsoft: We'll do it anyway

They must have workshopped it and came out with a better kinect because a couple of my friends had them and we played just dance and some kind of Disney park adventure thing without a problem. In fact the only problem was that we wanted to play so often that the friends that owned them got tired of them and never wanted to play💀
This, 'cause we always played this sort of dancing game with the kinect on small birthday parties, and then everyone go tired of it so we stopped lmao
Eddy : "I'm not a nerd, look at me."
also Eddy: "I'm going to tell you about 2009 E3."
My family actually owned a Kinect and the Kinect Adventures game. We also had the sports game that you showed next to it.
Surprisingly, we actually got a good few years out of the game and the sensors still work. There were a lot of glitches, but once you've had the sensor for awhile you get used to it. One reason it maybe didn't work in the mall video was because the person wasn't standing in the right place, or the room wasn't calibrated correctly. (The window is small, believe me.)
We still have all the games, and I'm sure we could dig them out and play them if people were interested in seeing how it worked.
Hit me up Eddy if you're curious!
I went and checked, and we actually still have ours too! I suddenly have the urge to rearrange our living room and play kindest adventures
Yeah, I had Kinectamals and Kinect Adventures and I remember LOVING these games as a kid. Especially Adventures. Now I was young, but I remember it working great and I had loads of fun. But I probably just saw threw the glitches.
Same but my brothers a disgusting pig and the Xbox broke but it broke near 2018 or 2019
Can confirm that while Kinect’s capabilities were massively overstated and it was glitchy af, my siblings and I had a lot of fun with kinect sports, kinect adventures, and dance central
Yeah I loved the kinect as a kid. The sports games we're so much fun.

Man... A lot can change in a decade.
true lmao i thought she must have been the least prestigious person on that crew
I had a kinect growing up and loved it, I remember it not being able to track my body perfectly but considering it was new tech i think it worked pretty well. i think it was probably better for kids who were new to gaming (like me) because we didn’t know how advanced games could be at that age
Also really depended on set-up. I had one at home and it was pretty decent, but would make mistakes. I also had one at work in a technology lab where we could have the idea distance from the device, the device at the right height, and nothing (like a couch or other person) moving in the background and it was just about always spot on accurate under those idea conditions.
Same I used it to play the fuck out of just dance mainly
I loved Kinect Adventures! I would play it everyday after work in 2014 also I did the Kintect workouts on Xbox One.
For a bit it was actualy used in the vrchat community as a stand in for expensive trackers.
same i absolutely loved my kinect haha.
Kinectimals and Kinect Adventures were my shit. I loved those games so much, even if the tech was glitchy. Good thing I never knew the promises behind it so I had zero expectations.
Exactly, I also loved it and I didn't know all of this behind it

As someone who has a Kinect growing up, it worked kinda I guess. Sometimes it picked up on movements but most of the time it just told you you were too close to the screen or the you were too short. I’d rather play Wii sports graphics and all. It was disappointing and I’d be mad if my family hadn’t gotten it for free from a Microsoft employee
Honestly it worked mostly fine for me. The problem is that it just became boring after like 5 minutes.
are you the fabled one? the boy with the friend who works at Microsoft that will delete my Xbox account?
I played the Kinect at LegoLand around the time it was released. They had a lot of room, and it actually worked amazingly. My grandparents bought me one, and it didn’t work at all at the house. I was hugely disappointed
“There will not be the distance between updates like between this video and the last one.”
