To provide some historical context for this meme, the Xbox One had recently been unveiled and at the time was going to have a mandatory Kinect. It was rumored that the camera would be un-disableable and on at all times.
- stonogo 3y agoPretty sure it was "say McDonald's to end commercial" from https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2/en
- Gigachad 3y agoI remember them being both around the same time. Was looking like we were on the verge of some absurd tech dystopia. Which was partially true, but it wasn't as weird as always on kinect and the mcdonalds patent.
- morelisp 3y agoThe McDonalds one ended up happening, just as variants of "retweet for a 10% discount".
- 0xfai 3y agoThe Kinect Azure is pretty badass. I see why they would say that and it is very funny. I work in computer vision and NUI R&D and it's really hard to understate the accomplishment that is Kniect. I get why most people don't want to play dance games and don't like the machine looking at them but it is REALLY hard to package up solid solutions for the problem the Kinect solves and the Azure and surprisingly it's cross platform SDK are IMO one of the most beautiful tools every produced by humans.

- 0xfai 3y agohttps://github.com/Rezmason/matrix/ https://github.com/Rezmason/matrix/ Then you'll love this project. The Holographic demo supports the Looking Glass display and I'm pretty sure natively supports the Kinect Azure but also works with a webcam.
- qingcharles 3y agoThat is great. Now I need to buy a 65" Looking Glass display just to play this all day.
- 0xfai 3y agoI have been trying to hook a client on a useful demo to get someone who is not me to spring for that big display. Lol. The portrait is like $300 though and it looks good on that.
- mehlmao 3y agoThe "User attempting to steal online gameplay" bit came from Cliff Blezinski et al saying that splitscreen multiplayer and co-op was a mistake, because half the people who played didn't pay for the game. In the past ten years we have seen local multiplayer evaporate. EDIT: The Kinnect had a microphone in it too
- doctorpangloss 3y ago> In the past ten years we have seen local multiplayer evaporate. Split screen multiplayer evaporated for many reasons. Besides business it's also technology. I'm not sure you'll find a single indie split screen multiplayer game that uses a modern, queued graphics pipeline (Unity HDRP or Unreal 4+). Even among big commercial games, Fortnite notably supports 2 player split screen, but Rocket League, Borderlands and Gears of War are all Unreal 3 I think.
- bobthepanda 3y agoIt takes two was GOTY. I think it’s more that split screen is almost exclusively the domain of ‘party’ games these days.

- EdwardDiego 3y agoMe and my son love couch co-op games, but yeah, doing split-screen can be hard to get right, especially around text and UI elements.
- philipwhiuk 3y agoAnd then they got burned by Sony at E3 and the whole sharing policies got rewritten.
- feedsmgmt 3y agoLocal multiplayer is back thanks to Steam and their "Remote Play Together" feature. Remote players connect to the hosts screen share. It is excellent. No extra licenses required.
