@Booji-Boy: Very noticeable at first, but either it improves as you play it or it simply didn't seem as noticeable on my end.

@Bubbleman! All life begins and ends with Nu..: Call me crazy, but it could have something to do with the lack of (successful) motion-controlled JRPGs, Shmups, Fighters, Racing Sims, and other genre favorites of Japanese developers & gamers.
After running a Kinect demo, I'm not surprised.
@Grimm808: So... you're not going to buy specifically because it has fictional-but-based-in-reality Japanese criminal organizations as opposed to true-to-life American criminal organizations?
A trailer so nice I watched it twice. Classy cover art to boot? Amazing. Perhaps Sega is finally learning.
Nothing quite says "I'm inferior!" like telling everyone that your competition is.
No mention of Daytona USA? Burnout Paradise over Burnout Revenge? (Although I do agree that it's great they supported the game for so long.) Kinect Joy Ride is seriously considered a great moment in racing history?
@RtFusion: For the most part, it is just tons of dialogue followed (eventually) by some sex. Some do it a lot better than others, though.
@reuniteireland: Never said they weren't good games - just that, when compared to Fallout: New Vegas, they don't come close to matching its sales, and that game is barely even a month old.
@reuniteireland: Long-time gamers who are tired of all the same titles over and over again are the ones that want to see a cool new IP. I'd imagine I'm being generous in saying they represent less than 5% of the current gaming populace.
I thought Kinect Joy Ride was developed by BigPark...
Well, it's definitely going to be a sequel to a popular IP that would work on the PS3. No reason to give this kinda publicity to anything else, because John Q Public just couldn't care less about anything else.
@ChaosBuffet: Just so you know (Dunno if you didn't know or was just playing), the two guys fighting are Mike and Joe from the original Street Fighter.
@Wazzup4567: Way, way, wayyy too many to just casually throw out.
@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: I work at Wally World, actually.
Man, all these Black Friday deals suck. The one time in a long time I'll actually be able to get in on a doorbuster (I don't have to work Friday til 2pm) and not a single one is worth the hassle.
I'm with them on the Kinect. Much like them, I have no 360 - thus, it's going to be a $300 investment (or really, $400, considering an Xbox 360 without a proper hard drive is like a sports car that can only go 45 mph). As if that ain't bad enough, my living quarters is very small. I just don't have the damn room.
@tuatua: Nice job on this one.
