7. Rampage is for hardcores?

6. Bushido Blade would have to be reprogrammed for a slower response and delayed action method. You would also be greatly limited in overall moves compared to just using a controller, let alone response and the lowest lag possible.

5. Extremely doubtful CoD will ever utilize Kinect. If it did, it will be used very infrequently since performing any actions with an arm motion takes longer than just pressing a button on the controller. Even head tracking would take longer than just turning around using the analog sticks. Also, it's a third-party title. They'll want them as similar as possible from one to the other.

4. Take Joy Ride and the F3 demo from E3 and expand that to Road Rash. Both Joy Ride and F3 don't have a reverse, don't have shifting or acceleration control. You step a bit forward and you increase your speed up to a programmed maximum. That's it. That's just not for hardcores who want as much control as possible in their driving games.

3. Look at The Fight: Lights Out. It would work, but it would rely on mimicking canned movements and not free-play boxing. In order to program AI to fight against, there have to be player limitations to attacks that have specific time limitations and delays. So, yes, it could work, but it would be much like the casual boxing games already out there.

2. Could work, but this is more about a good storyline than how you interact with it. Honestly, the only reason I'm interested in Move for Heavy Rain is to get rid of the annoying sixaxis motion actions in the game. Otherwise, this is all about storyline and not how you interact with it. But, hey, completely possible!

1. See CoD response, honestly. And, BioWare isn't going to invest in a communication system that wouldn't be used on the PC either. BioWare is insistent that their games be as close as possible from one platform to another in terms of gameplay. It's what you have to deal with from a third-party.

7 things that won't happen.

Just watch. Kinect will be a $150 beta test. The next Xbox will feature the final version at launch when Kinect is actually finished.

u miss your shoot MS...

still the casual are going to buy this crap..

but i dont see the hardcore doing it

8. It gives hardcore gamers of all systems something to laugh and make Gifs about.

If microsoft was
clever enough he
would hire Quantic
Dream to make a
heavy rain like game
fully compatable for
kinnect.
Only Heavy Rain was
a good game but it
was so empty without
motion control.Thogh
move + Heavy rain is
very good but with
kinnect it would be
much better.And
motion controlling
makes Heavy Rain
more a game than
movie

lol i think author is confusing natal with Kinect its sad really

I don't see 7 ways Kinect will please hardcore gamers. I see a guy who put up seven games he thinks would work well with Kinect and tries to skew it toward the hardcore. There are several problems with his ideas, most notably being:

COD: The idea would be more trouble than it's worth. why would you want to "throw" your grenades when it's much easier and faster to use the controller, same goes for melee attacks. You would have to take your hand off of the controller to perform the action which would put you at a disadvantage in multiplayer, which is pretty much the only reason anyone buys COD. The only way that could work so there wouldn't be an unfair advantage is if it was mandatory and that would split the consumer base and wouldn't be worth it.

Mass Effect: The idea to include Milo tech in Mass effect, on paper, sounds awesome. But when you stop to think about it, you realize that it won't work the way anyone would want it to. Assuming the Milo tech isn't all smoke and mirror, it will take up a lot of space to fit the AI routines for that tech into any game, let alone Mass Effect. That space being used on Milo tech would take away from the story and side quests in the game. I also think it would limit the number of NPCs you could interact with. Let's face it, Mass Effect isn't exactly long for an RPG. It's not bad, it's just not as long as most RPGs. Having Milo tech would reduce the game length even more.

come on guys lets sing it. lol
i dont know if N4G is doing a kinect brain washing job or what ? N4G ?

gotta wait an see now dont we

Another article stating what Kinect MIGHT or COULD be used for. Everyone is starting to get desperate. What is with all these sites begging and pleading to look at the Kinect differently? Most of us can already see what it is.

SHOW me....
"speculate list" is key to this article

I would buy one for my 360, but there is NOT a killer app remotely in sight AND the price is just typical MS, overpriced accessories.

and to be fair, I am not that much into Motion, but at least you can play real games with Motion.

These ideas are pretty bad, they sound very similar to some of the piss poor speculative ideas that were going around in the early days of the Wii - like strapping a wiimote to your foot to play football games.

lol at this article...

But we really don't know how, do we?

Why do all the articles that talk about the great things Kinect can do usually talk about imaginary things that it will most certainly not be doing? - like this game library

because of its awesomeness!

interesting idea about facial expressions mattering in mass effect or stabbing someone in call of duty.

The more I get told why I should be creaming my knickers for Kinect the more I suspect it'll be a big pile of dog poo.

Heavy Rain have nothing to do with Kinect. What is wrong with him?
