Whatever lag Kinect may have is negligible enough not to be a concern; that’s according to Microsoft-owned Rare’s executive producer of technology and communications Nick Burton who says that the lag for the developer’s Kinect Sports — one of the motion device’s big launch titles in November — is set at 150ms (plus TV lag), a figure that is “not at all” an issue.
“Lag is not an issue. As with any prototype stuff, of course it was in the past. That’s to be expected. Where we’re at now, not at all,” he’s told Eurogamer. “Yes, we’ve done a lot work to make sure it wasn’t a problem, but when you’ve got something that’s copying what you’re doing you can’t have a lot of lag.”
