That zombie nurse is fuck** hot !!!!!!!!!!!
I dont care for visuals in a game, hell i still play my beloved snes to this day, but..this just looks, well.. meh.

Second of all its been made by a diffrent team
Third of all the "noise" effect has not been placed on yet (going by all previous games thaty all looked drab, but the noise effect made them a lot more appealing)
Fourth its not in motion, and the video i have see in motion look splendour :D
Please the whole " this looks shit the textures are lame blah blah blah" do you not see that this is the whole reason the industry is going like it is, when people dont really care for how it plays and if its you know "fun", the industry is that scared trying to impress you with its visuals they dont have time/money left for the important things like "fun" and "intresting"
True we could look in the Wii corner and see the complete opposite, where what we...well me at least want to see is something in the middle yes i want immersive graphics, but that does not mean i want realistic graphics, if i want realistic i will look around at the trees in my local forest while jogging and pretend i am running from hordes of alien/monsters/nazis, not that i will though due to i dont want to be placed in a mental home ...not just yet anyway.
As for the scare factor, *sigh* has no one learned from the movies or games of past ? the visuals dont scare, its the execution of the scare that scares, the only time i was not scared in DOOM 3 was when i was shooting .. but the silent parts ...
"but this just looks meh" just because the word "look" is there it does not mean i am on about its visuals, the game is Kinect, which i am still not sold on yet, and it will take a damn sight more to get intrested in it than this, specially on how much it costs
it's on rails... its probally better than that fable journeys, which probally will end up been a decent rental if you have kinect, but lets be fair, fable is degrading fast.
hell the selling point of rail shooters in the past was the fact they visual beasts, along with fighting games, due to lack of... well everything from physics to ai..hell even clipping was not a issue..
Kinect uses some power you say? wow.. it must really eat it up if this is the shape of things to come
Its SEGA.. what have they done recently that should give me faith in there product? last decent game they made was condemned.. and they was only the bloody publisher, i have no faith in this company anymore, there the next midway.
this will most likely be full price game same as Fable journeys.
This will most likely be single player only, at least on good old light gun based rail shooter you could steal each others kills for points :D
If that guys face is anything to go by, then i cant see scares been executed well in this, i can see it been a bland "boo" game.
And to be fair Silent Hill is a very well established franchise that really did not have to prove anything, it knew its shit.. apparantly though, the american devs did not :(
i stand by that this game looks meh, it gives me a nightmare creatures vibe... and that aint good.
good for you to stick up for the little devs though all the respect, but this one dont float my boat.. tell them to shout me when they got decent video showing off something special..
PS: dont go through my old posts dude.. thats creepier than this game will ever be.

Kinect uses some CPU power but I'm sure it depends on what is being done with Kinect since Forza 4 uses Kinect and that's got some of the best graphics of this generation. Also Rise Of Nightmares has been in production for well over a year so Sega probably didn't know exactly how much CPU power the finished Kinect would use so were a bit conservative with the graphics just to be on the safe side.
What have Sega done lately? LMAO! How about Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3 & 4 (OK, the Motion Mode is disappointing in VT4, not that it's Kinect's fault since it's just an exact port of the Move version including its stupid timing system for directional control which makes no sense), various Sonic games, House Of The Dead 4 (arcade, hopefully a port will eventually be released), House Of The Dead: Overkill (Wii and going to PS3, hopefully an Xbox 360 version will eventually be released), the Yakuza series (I haven't played them as I don't have a PS3 but I've heard they're great games), Resonance Of Fate, Bayonetta, Vanquish and loads of other games that unfortunately aren't on the Xbox 360. Those are just off the top of my head. Sure, Sega aren't as good as they used to be but I guess that's what happens when other companies play dirty and the head of the company dies all culminating into having to leave the console hardware business and go multi-platform. (They should have gone Xbox exclusive so that they could focus all their energy on one console like they previously had, rather than selling out to their former rivals.)
As i said, tell them to shout me when its got a video showing something decent off.. until then it looks like a on rails kinda game, and i will contiune to assume that until they release a video.. and if there is one on the net, fuck hunting it down, i'm not that intrested.
As for kinect Wii Motion and Move i will say this, this will hurt because i can see your pretty defensive about it.. but I personally dont like it YET i can see it's purpose and it can offer some great things, from mario galaxy to mere ideas like eye pet(patched), not the best examples i know.. ok erm, try Kinect is the only way you could make a game teaching people how to do sign language accuratly (just a thought) when it comes to things like that, it could really work, but that wont happen, no nothing intresting or usefull will become of it, just kinect sports 3 by the destroyed Rare Ware.
BUT, i.dont.like.it. you have to take into account, i spend most the day working my bollox off stressed off my tits, i come home and do my weights have shower then dinner, by this time it's 8ish been up since 6 in the morning..now why in the right mind would i want to jump around or swing sticks around, i have 0 energy left and most times have not got the energy to get up and get my pad..
you have to understand its not for everyone, i can see why people absolutly fucking hate it, but i can see why others love it, to say its the future and as important as the change from 2d to 3d, to be fair, your reaching there you really are.. specially when devs refuse to have both kinect and the pad work together...
When i am playing a rainbow six game using my pad, and all i have to do is raise my hand (and i dont mean like you know the answer to a fucking question at school..) and my team stops
THEN colour me intrested, hybrid the shit or i am not intrested.
And if a game is shown of on rails, how is that the consumers fault for thinking its on rails o.0 it was not what i wanted so why look further into it..
Dead Island on the other hand didn't get that much of a good preview, they had a lot to criticize ... I fear the worst 2 months from release for that one - sorry 4 off-topic.

People are already working on sign language software dumbass! Saying that Kinect will never be used for anything useful (beyond games) is one of the most hilariously ignorant statements ever! You obviously must live under a rock if you don't know about all the Kinect hacks/SDK projects people are working on and have been created already. They're using Kinect in hospitals for example.
You obviously don't realise this but when you buy a Kinect Microsoft don't turn up at your house and take all your joypads and non-Kinect games away, lol! There are plenty of non-Kinect games already out and being released in the future for people to play if they just feel like sitting down and using a joypad because they're exhausted or whatever. Plus I have far more reason to hate Kinect for energy reasons than you do since I have M.E. yet I don't because there are fun games and I actually have the intelligence to recognise the vast game-changing potential of Kinect. (It's already totally revolutionised dancing games, although I'm not into them except for Michael Jackson: The Experience.)
THERE ARE LOADS OF VIDEOS OF RISE OF NIGHTMARES SHOWING IT'S NOT ON-RAILS, THEY'RE NOT SECRETLY HIDDEN! I could post links to a whole load of them within about a minute but I'm not going to do your "hard work" for you. Assuming that it's on-rails is your problem, do you assume all videogames on all systems will be on-rails until proved otherwise? (All non-playable demos are on-rails afterall.) If not then why do you assume all Kinect games will be? Just because you're too stupid to figure out how to move without a joypad doesn't mean all developers are too. Plus developers are free to make Kinect games that combine Kinect AND a joypad if they want to. In Forza 4 for example you can use Kinect for headtracking while using a joypad or wheel for driving and there are various other joypad-based games already announced that use Kinect features like Halo Anniversary, Binary Domain, Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier just off the top of my head. And if you don't "hunt down" videos and info about Rise Of Nightmares then why are you commenting on a Rise Of Nightmares article? It wouldn't be just to blindly hate on anything Kinect related would it? Nooooo, that couldn't possibly be the reason...
Only 1 section of Fable: The Journey was shown on-rails, the other section with the horse and caravan wasn't on rails and they clearly showed that by steering (and freely stopping) the horse and looking around. So if you thought that part was on rails you're just stupid and that's not Microsoft's fault, unless Bill Gates raised you? Lol! Plus there have been countless articles and video interviews confirming that the game isn't on-rails, but then you don't "hunt down" info do you? So all that obviously passed you by no matter how many articles and videos there are or how many people have mentioned it. By the way, Fable: The Journey can be played SITTING DOWN!
Edit: I just thought I'd add that if I was still a videogame designer I'd be BEGGING my company to let me work on Kinect games. In fact I'd feel so strongly about it that if by any chance my company didn't want to make Kinect games and I knew another company were and they were looking for designers I'd see if I could get a job there instead. That's how important I regard Kinect.

But i assume your one of these people when someone says something is shit you assume it is because there a fanboy of something else OMFG HE IS A PLAYSTATION USER! i was gaming before that machine was even a sparkle in kens eye...
you say when i buy kinect MS dont come in my house and force me to play games on it? well thats cool because that was the single issue i was most scared about..
No right.. that was it, there is nothing OUT that appeals to me and uses it the way i want it
Nice of you to list a bunch of games that are not out yet that use it the way i want thats cool... i shall go buy one tomorrow and leave it there on the shelf till Mass Effect 3 comes out..because the other games you listed dont appeal to me... shock horror yes, i dont like forza or what has happened to ghost recon.. oooooo i must be a Gran Turismo or CoD fan...i am hating for no reason, surly i could just NOT like racing games ( i do own Gt but not played it yet lol..it came with my new ps3) and there is no way i could be a fan of the original ghost recon and GRIT can i.. because i hate the new ones..
Check my gamertag i still play them to this day on fucking system link.
