Maybe using Kinect like the touchscreen is used for the DS. However, Microsoft never thought about the hardcore community, so this is pointless anyway. The only thing Kinect is here for is to get family on LIVE which is more money for MS in the end. No hardcore gamer with any sence will pay $150 for the games they showed at E3. I wouldn't pause Gears to tickle Skittles. Yeah I get MS wanting moms and grandpas in on the fun. I got it. Great. Where are the games for me? Why is Reach and Gears 3 not using it? Why did Peter Molyneux, the king of hype and #2 360 ass kisser behind that idiot who wears lady gaga glasses indoors, turn around and say Fable 3 won't be using this camera? I feel betrayed.
How could they use kinect with Halo:Reach. Nothing they have shown with Kinect makes me think that they could support a game like Halo. Warning to MS don't screw up your core games like Halo just to hype Kinect.
interesting...guess they do have sense in just mot trying to make halo into every genre available...also, glad to hear that they want to make a new fps game with natal and not try to implement natal controls in existing franchises, that means that they are most likely trying to create new "genres" with natal kinda like what alan wake and heavy rain did...that also means they are most likely gunna be making new ip's probably natal exclusive meaning completely controller less franchises
guess we will have to see, and it really is unfair to judge natal based on its launch titles...cause if we did that with the ps3, we wouldnt have seen the quality titles we are now seeing...i like to judge a console a couple years later and see what they are producing then
it sound cool but then you have to realisev that it would be a very limited set of commands same reason a rpg wouldnt work youd end up reading the dialog choice aloud
sure gernades sounds cool but while your arcing your arm someon shoots you.
a very smart move on Microsofts part...but in my opinion, it all depends on how well kinect does...If its a huge success, then it will only be a matter of time
My comment was not directed against the 360 since I have two of them. I am a professional couch potato so I am not interested in Kinect and I am sick and tired of Halo
I'm not against or for Kinect, but wouldn't having a Halo-Kinect game be the logical choice? Since most consumers at this point associate Halo with Xbox?
I understand your logic but what you are forgetting is that Halo is a core game and if they try to shoe horn in Kinect controls then they will just alienate their fan base. Kinect is very obviously designed for the Wii crowd and that's where it should stay.
@kingpin - the difference between yoru example of move and gt5 with kinect and halo is that kinect is a full body capture, basically making you be the motion capture that makes the animation...and move is jsut controlling a steering wheel with buttons used for acceleration, brake etc
if they made halo with kinect, the spartan kinect enabled would basically be able to do anything the human would be able to do body-wise as well as direction while a spartan using only a controller would only be able to controller direction...and thats only talking about movement, theres still aiming, shooting and other commands that would complicate ppl using and not using kinect
i would think that that would also be hard to code and keep balanced when making it an enable-able feature for a game known for using controllers...in the end of the day, i would think it would probably not be fun for the kinect user versing a controller user
Sure... let's crap out a core game for a non-core peripheral and do damage to the franchise, so people will always look back and remember that one crappy Halo game for Kinect.
A crappy Halo game hurts everyone. Consumers, Microsoft, the industry at large...
OMFG i remember the Kingpin!!!! that guy was hilarious!I used to have the action figure of him because my mom kept forgetting to get me Spidey instead!
Good.
A can't imagine how it would work in game.
But imagine controlling the menus with your voice.
Instead of saying "xbox" you say "Cortana" then your command.
i.e. "Cortana, equip Recon helmet"
or
"Cortana, video replay of last mission"
It would be so cool.
Thank goodness. I knew they wouldn't anyway.

I don't want either one, Kinect or Halo
