Help! I'm having trouble playing this with kinect. In case you haven't heard from Oprah, Ellen, Justin Bieber, Marky Mark, Jimmy Fallon, Cirque du Soleil, or any of the other talk show hosts and celebrities that Microsoft paid a lot of money to promote, kinect lets you be the controller. But I've been jumping up and down and flailing my arms and going "pew, pew" with my fingers trying to get my character to shoot but nothing happens. He just stands there. I have to use a real controller to get him to do anything, but I paid $150 so that I could be the controller and it doesn't work! It works with this tiger came that I also bought, but I'm sick of playing with all the cutesy tigers. It feels weird and creepy to me to be playing with tigers being a 30 year old man with no kids (this post was intended for humor purposes only)

awesome post.

erm lol wtf ? someone has a sense of humor

Epic!

You sir made me smile today

LOL this made me laugh, the first few sentence's i actually thought you was serious

hahaha xD

On a serious note, it will be interesting to see how Kinect will be used in hardcoe games as time goes on. I love me some Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime. Can't wait to see how Xbox developers will use motion control with no controller in interesting ways. I want to see how Bungie uses it, maybe even Elder Scrolls V will use it in some way on the Xbox version.

Hmm could be interesting, as for Bungie, Halo: Reach was the last game they made for the Halo franchise, development move's to microsoft owned 343 Industries (the majority of the team is made up of Halo:CE developer's, so at least we know the franchise is in good hands ) Bungie are now with Activision and are starting a new IP, since they are now part of Activision, Bungie will be a multi-format developer.

Me love Bungie ^.^

Elder scrolls 5 and FO4 hopefully will use a newer game engine.

I know, I want to see hoe Bungie uses it on their next game. I never mentioned Halo.

hmm lol interesting..my bro and I had the same conversation a day ago. Ive come to the conclusion that Kinect is only useful if you have some kind of disability making it to difficult or impossible to use an actual hand held controller. Otherwise, Kinect is merely techno-junk used as an excuse to raise monthly Xbox Live fees...

.

Well it kind of can't until you really can pew pew with your fingers. It doesn't see your fingers so it will need a controller which defeats the whole "you are the contoller thing" though. My guess is that it's standard on the next gen xbox hardware though and maybe there it will see fingers and allow for FPS games

I was wondering if it will actually ever be possible to play a sand box game like this with kinect... How would you move forward? Would you actually have to jog in place to go anywhere in a game? I see lots of heart attacks in the future of Kinect if that's the case. Imagine playing red dead redemption and having to pretend to gallop to get your horse to move.

Ever played Wii? Motion control can be very fun even when it's used sparingly. Twilight Princess is a good example. You use the controller for most things, and the motion control is reserved for a few fun things. I'm sure we'll be using the controller and Kinect in conjunction in a lot of games. Also, many people will not own Kinect so I'm sure a lot of games will incorporate it , but keep it optional to use for their games.

All I want Kinect for is the voice feature. I want to be able to tell my console what to do. Not to sure I like having a camera peering at me all the time though. *puts on tinfoil hat* M$ is watching.

I just don't get how they can make use of Kinect in a FPSer style game. The lack of buttons and "finger detection" seems to me to mean you would have to do something strange to shoot. (Kick/swing right leg/arm out to shoot.:blink:)

Now I admit this could be a lack of imagination on my part.

hahahahahahahahahah, that made me laugh. They'll stop watching us the first time they see a fat guy dancing to Michael Jackson naked.

Two things I have wanted:

Generalized gun periferals (theyre starting to appear again with cheesy hunting games)
Intermixing of kinnect features in games like NV: using your hands to lock pick and perform specific game tasks but returning to physical controller in regular gameplay.

If companies can mix features this way the games could be VERY immersive. I would love to lockpick with hand gestures, repair items, craft food, or simply navigate game functions by hand, but only if developers can squeeze in the time to make multiple control functions.

"Kinnect" and its sheep-imals games sound like a nightmare to me. The death of hardcoe gaming as we know it is upon us.
