There's absolutely no reason that the Fable III devs couldn't have Kinect devkits for the past year+ and be ready by the time they launch in October.

They didn't want Kinect in the game. They couldn't think of a worthwhile use for it. That's the reason, plain and simple.

this guy has said Kinect is a revolution in gaming

kinect is not a controller with buttons like the Move. You can't just slap it into any game. Fable is made to be played with a controller. The quality of this game looks solid. Leaving plugs to and a few things that are there to do if you happen to have Kinect is the best way to go at this point. They are still working on ways to implement Kinect. Every thing Kinect can do has not been fleshed out yet. Kinect will be a work in progress for a few years. It is going to be adding feature every few months after release. This is a new way to play games. They can copy the wii with this. Every thing needs to be stream-lined.

They have it where it works for casuals and navigation. A lot of the Ideas are going to come from 3rd party. But Primsense and others, who have been working with the tech for many years, are also being consulted. They all want this to suceed so they can introduce and push the tech, outside of gaming. Be patient friends. If you don't like the tech, then that is you choice. But you have no idea where this will end up.

He's saying that they had some Kinect abilities but they weren't very good. Did you read the article?

"Joystiq spoke with Molyneux following his appearance on the show and learned that some form of Kinect content may be available post-launch, and that whatever was initially planned to be built into the game just wasn't up to snuff."

I, for one, breathed a sigh of relief when I read this. I'm a huge fan of the Fable series and the last thing I wanted to see was Fable 3 become a marketing tool for some casual game camera that I'll never buy. I think it's great that Fable 3 isn't going to be Kinect centric. If they want to throw in a couple of minigames or something later, knock yourself out, but I'm glad Kinect isn't going to be involved in one of my favorite series.

On a side note, could you imagine how pissed Halo fans would be if Reach was Kinect centered? There'd be blood in the streets. One of my biggest concerns in the leadup to Kinect's launch was that Microsoft would be forcing us to play Kinect Gears of War, or Kinect Halo. I'm glad to see that it's just party games for kids and Microsoft is leaving the other 99.8% of Xbox 360 owners the hell alone. The worst thing they could have done was alienated their base by forcing Kinect on them.

u do know that peter said kinect was gonna be featured in the game from launch? just another one of his promises gone with the wind.
