Battlefield 4 on Xbox One could feature Kinect-powered head-tracking, executive producer Patrick Bach said in a new interview on the Xbox Wire.
He explained that DICE is "looking into" features that "enhance" controls, including using Kinect for peeking and leaning, as well as further head-tracking. This is in addition to using Kinect for voice commands.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
This is an interesting tidbit to add to any shooter game. I get tired on holding down on the d pad and then using my other hand to use the look stick and turn it while trying to dodge enemy bullets or missles
they didnt even show the game running on x1 and now they are "looking into" extra features please DICE drop the BS act and gves us some next-gen direct feed footage
I'll try it, but I dont want to lose my focus when im trying to lean.
Hope this is true.
And this is the benefit of having the Kinect in every box. Great game options like these that the dev can automatically put in every Xbox One game and know it will be used by gamers.
This seems cool...until someone walks in front of the tv when you are about to shoot a guy and it loses track of you and then has to take a couple seconds to re-calibrate and find you again, or, if its not picking your head up well enough and stutters and jerks your view around where you can't even shoot correctly.
This is all hypothetical and non-fanboyish, I just had high hopes for the Kinect 1 and was completely disappointed...so no high hopes of this one until it works like it is supposed to.
Forza 4 had head tracking...that worked well...*sarcasm*
