Today someone was mentioning how you can use you tablet in integration with the the Next Gen Battlefield 4 to call in strikes, etc (according to E3). This reminded me of the Wii U, which I have, which I forget I have. The Wii U is a Wii with a tablet. Playing video games on you TV with a tablet is a chore. It's an experience that no one should live though. To this day, Lego Undercover for the Wii U is the most fully integrated console/tablet experience, and it sucks. Scirbblenauts for the Wii U simulatenously plays on the TV and tablet. Guess which one you look at more? The tablet.
Ever have the TV on (playing TV shows) and use a tablet on at the same time? I'm used to multitasking, but in this case, the tablet wins every time. By multitasking, I mean I might be on the internet, watching TV, playing DS/PSP, and reading a book all at the same time. Having a tablet means I'm doing all four at once, which means I'm only using a tablet. That counts as one thing. If the TV is on in the background I'll be all, "Huh? John Oliver is hosting the Daily Show now?"
The Xbox One is fully integrated with Kinect 2.0, which no one wants to use. It's all motion-controlled and voice command. Have you ever used voice commands with a non-living thing? Socom 2 and Lifeline first introduced me to the world of voice commands. In Lifeline, a PS2 game controlled by voice commands, you were treated like a schizophrenic rapist while asking for your character to, "DODGE!" Fact: character wouldn't dodge although that was one of the required actions to play the game.
The problem with Kinect is that it supposedly understands natural hand gestures.Who's hand gestures? An Itallan's? Who use hand-gestures naturally? Does the Kinect discriminate against you if you have tiny hands?
