New Xbox 360 controller "Twist Control" announced
Microsoft has announced twist control, the new Xbox 360 Dashboard with this Christmas at the Gamescom demo by Robin Burrowes, a Xbox Live product marketing manager. The slogan? "The entertainment you want, with the people you are interested in made easy…"
The concept of the mix is together voice control and content - that is to say the Kinect pushing so hard it automatically search as it can - by users say, for example "Xbox Bing BioWare" and have for all video-game-related material to BioWare. Here, my only concern is that speech recognition is still very primitive and requires room fairly quietly, so that the device to listen as possible clearly to you and your syllables.
The video above shows examples with "Xbox Bing Halo" and "Xbox Bing Batman", but I hope that it can detect that the search, the terms are longer than two syllables, at the same time with enough of the words in its database, your words in the first place to recognize.
Channels are at the top of the screen, instead of as it is now displayed along the side. I suppose some PS3 fans see this as a bit of imitators, but let scold them. Scrolling through each channel can be... movements with the Kinect standard controller or hand that is much too slow and cumbersome in practice. Unless they remove the lighting and something on the screen to choose your hand requirements and the fact that takes about three seconds hold, the controller will remain my faithful Navigator. As the technology do not want to come, it is still...
The most touted function is however the inclusion of beacons below the social channel, the player on Xbox Live and Facebook can post (as if they are smart, the option for Twitter, Google + and what social media site, you use today). Burrowes explains the reason behind this addition:
Has been, has a bit of an obstacle. The core community told us "I'm doing this activity but I would like to really play call of duty to my companions, if I've, four or five of them got the online at the same time." People are still text messaging each other and send messages on other platforms. This is an easier way to do it.
Also, just so you don't forget Facebook for services book is allowed, the Xbox Live party environments will look slimmer and memory save cloud (thank goodness) hopefully be at startup.
