Future DiRT games may support Kinect and Move

GamingBolt: "We recently got a chance to ask Paul Coleman of Codemasters, Senior Game Designer of DiRT 3 some questions about the game, and in the interview, he revealed that the studio is looking at the latest motion sensing technology by Microsoft and Sony, and that they may be included in future DiRT projects."

Simple question... Why?
When driving I prefer a steering wheel.

ian725594d ago

I agree. Kinect and Move could work for other parts of the game, but driving nothing beats steering wheel and pedals.

NukaCola5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

No need for Move or Kinects hand tracking or any of that gayness. Just perfect the headtracking and maybe add some voice commands for team racing. Like B-Spec controlling in A-Spec racing. Same thing in Nascar, like having a team mate box in a guy to help to pass or something like that. The cameras are all you would need.

Fallouts5594d ago

@ btk simple answer, cause they can....

so use your steering wheel..

that was easy

Miths5594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

I love my Move controllers (both of them, plus Nav Controller), but for racing games? That's gotta be a joke?

Even if I didn't have my Logitech G25 wheel, I'd certainly pick a gamepad over awkward arm flailing (with Move controller or Kinect) any day when it comes to driving a virtual car.

BrianG5594d ago

Agreed

I mean it doesn't hurt to have options, but I just can't see how Move would work other than twisting the wrist to turn, or designing a wheel that it pops into so the camera can see the ball at all times.

And again with Kinect, I don't want to hold my hands up for extended periods of time not holding anything.

I love options, and wouldn't mind trying them out, but I'd probably go with the standard controllers after a little while.

Also I want a wheel, never had one or tried one. What wheel gives the best bang for your buck?

Miths5594d ago

"Also I want a wheel, never had one or tried one. What wheel gives the best bang for your buck?"

I'm not quite sure which one it might be these days, I've had my G25 since it was first released back in 2006.
Prior to that I had a Logitech Driving Force Pro, and before that the cheap, original blue/black Driving Force (which felt like a plastic toy compared to even the DFP, but still provided an experience with the PC racing sims I played that was miles ahead anything a gamepad could deliver. Aside from the precision of a wheel and pedals, force feedback - in games with proper implementation - is something that's hard to imagine for someone who has only been used to the simple rumble effects of a gamepad. I still remember the huge grin on my face the first time I tried that cheap DF wheel with what was I think was a GT mod for F1 Challenge on PC).

In terms of build quality and feel, the Logitech G25/G27 - plus the Fanatec wheels and probably that new official GT5 wheel from Thrustmaster - are several steps above even the best of the cheaper wheels, but I imagine the Driving Force GT (which replaced the Driving Force Pro a few years ago) might be the "best bang for your buck" if you aren't quite prepared to shell $350+ (probably even more if you're in Europe like me) for one of the more expensive options.

Kon5594d ago

Kinect = No hands driving a car = weird
Move = Driving a car with a stick = weird
Steering Wheel = Driving a car the way is meant to be = win

Tommykrem5594d ago

Even Jack Tretton said that the Move would probably not be the ideal gadget for Move. At least I think it was Tretton. It was some Sony spokesman who was interviewed by the PlayStation Blog anyway.

slavish35594d ago (Edited 5594d ago )

why are u guys p.m.s.ing he said they may support! not that its required. Don't like it don't use!@

P.S. if the game supports both wheel + kinect= sick

The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.

Vegamyster3445d ago

If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.

lnfiniteLoop3445d ago (Edited 3445d ago )

only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

Vegamyster3445d ago (Edited 3445d ago )

lnfiniteLoop

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.

Well, check out the full listing below."

Devil May Cry Defnitive Edition for 10€ sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
I have never played it.

Can you guys recommend it?

coolbeans3502d ago

I personally haven't gotten very far into it, but I was having a decent time.

-I get a 'They Live' vibe from the whole thing
-Looks smooth at 60 FPS
-Story's kinda weak right now but maybe it picks up later on
-Combat is quite fun

As someone who payed more than 10 euros (equivalent), I'd say it's a fine grab for a weekend or something.

Eliseo6763590d ago

This games already were Backward compatible.

The update made it so that we could use the Xbox One Wheel Control with them, for better racing. This should have been the news.

Kingthrash3603589d ago

They are just trying to make minor news, big news for hits. Smh

XanderZane3589d ago

Who's they? Microsoft didn't make the article. " http://www.dailystar.co.uk/... made the mistake but stacking their stories on top of each other. It seems the B/C story for those games was first and the site just stacked Major Nelson's announcement on the bottom. Seems like a typical click bait article.

Genuine-User3590d ago

I would love to play Splinter Cell Blacklist with increased performance and VSync enabled. Come on Microsoft, make it happen.

2pacalypsenow3590d ago

I just want a new Splinter cell game

SpaceRanger3590d ago

Agreed! I missed out with the early splinter cells and just want to play them. Pandora tomorrow and double agent were the only ones I got to play.

Top notch games!

2pacalypsenow3590d ago

You need to play Chaos Theory!

P_Bomb3590d ago

Bring back Michael Ironside!!

badz1493589d ago (Edited 3589d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

Erm...play them on PC? No?

2pacalypsenow3589d ago

PC,Ps2,Ps3,Xbox,Gamecube whichever one

annoyedgamer3589d ago

Be careful what you ask for. Ubisoft might make another co-op game and call it splinter cell.

babadivad3589d ago

Hopefully thy go back to the roots of the Spliter Cell Trilogy. Those games were fucking amazing.

No Way3589d ago

Space Ranger - You can download a Splinter Cell game from Ubisoft for the PC here: https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-...

diesoft3589d ago

@SpaceRanger Oh, man, do yourself a favor and pick up the HD trilogy if you can. I don't remember if it's on 360 or not but it's on ps3 for sure. Those are too good to miss! ESPECIALLY chaos theory!

They need nore Japanese published games on the BC list.

I'm waiting for.

Dark Arisen.
I wish PSO exclusives like FF7, FF9 could be released on Xbox One.

starchild3589d ago

Tenchu Z would push me over the edge to get an XB1. I'm a huge fan of the Tenchu series.

XanderZane3589d ago

Yes.. and they need more Japanese published games on the XB1 as well.

spoilerjerk3590d ago

I love how the biggest selling point of the Xbox One is the ability to play last generation games. Don't get me wrong, Xbox 360 had one of the best lineups in console history... Xbox One has one of the worst.

This gen in general lacks great new ips.Off the top of my head,Bloodborne,Sunset,Shadow of Mordor...?

You got me wrong ABCDE lol i meant there are only a few new great ip

TheColbertinator3590d ago

Mordor isnt a new IP,its Lord of the Rings.

t-hall7853590d ago (Edited 3590d ago )

I own all three of those games and thoroughly enjoyed all 3. We could definitely use some fresh IPS. But this generation seems to lose more on taking risks. I think we as gamers need to support new Ips better. I always see gamers asking for new ips on here then I look at the numbers a month later and its almost always disappointing.

vegasgamerdawg3590d ago (Edited 3590d ago )

Dying light was fantastic. That's what drew me into this gen. The Witcher 3 (Not a new IP) and Dying lights open worlds make last gen look like child's play. I just recently played through GTA5 again and the world was empty and shallow compared to recent releases. Time is also a factor you must consider, not fair to compare the last 11 years to the recent 3-4. Games are much bigger, takes more time and expense to build, are other contributing factors. Like isn't black and white, you must include the every present variables.

Well thats your opinion. To say xbox 360 has the best lineups in history. When its last 2 years theres not much exclusive releases and just the same old gears fable forza and halo.

DeeBeers3590d ago

Biggest selling feature of Xbox One is to play games. Period. Not Xbox's fault it can do tricks that the PS4 cant.

Owait... yes it is! =]

Trekster_Gamer3589d ago

Not the biggest selling point just something that every current Gen gamer would love and Microsoft delivered! Sony would have you pay AGAIN for games you bought last gen!

sammarshall1023589d ago

The biggest selling point? More like a great addition to an already great console

kraenk123589d ago

Not sure if it's much of a selling point at all, except for hardcore XBox fans.

No Way3589d ago

It's not the "biggest selling point" but it is a helluva selling point. Always nice to be able to ditch the last console but keep the awesome games.

BattleAxe3589d ago (Edited 3588d ago )

The PS4's lineup hasn't exactly been a pot of gold either. Heck, just look at No Man's Sky with a 68 Metacritic, Knack with a 54 meta, The Order 1886 with a 63 meta, Killzone: Shadow Fall with a 73 meta, Driveclub with a 71 meta, and on and on it goes!

FreddyFazbear3589d ago (Edited 3589d ago )

are we playing the numbers game again?? here are a list of games rated HIGHEST to LOWEST but I will only pick 14 games whether indie, remaster or full AAA from metacritic:
Xbox one exclusive:
ori and the blind forest - 88
forza motorsport 6 - 87
Titanfall - 86
Forza horizon 2 - 86
killer instinct season 2 - 85
Halo master chief collection - 85
Halo 5 guardians - 84
Gears of war ulti edition - 82
sunset overdrive - 81
dead rising 3 - 78
Quantum break - 77
project spark - 73
killer instinct - 73
Ryse son of rome - 60
VS.
PS4 exclusives:
Last if us remastered - 95
Uncharted 4 - 93
Bloodborne - 92
Final Fantasy XIV - 86
Ratchet and clank - 85
Resogun - 84
Tearaway unfolded - 81
Infamous second son - 80
Until dawn - 79
Littlebig planet 3 - 79
everybody's gone to the rapture - 78
Street fighter 5 - 77
Dragon quest heroes - 77
Warriors orochi 3 - 77

Seems to me the highest game from xbone is 88. none of its AAA games are even above that. Problem is, your just citing lower scored games from PS4 while I can do the same for Xbone. I just showed who has the best exclusives (Based on metacritic) even though im not fully on board with game reviews because for me the order and killzone were fine games. Go check metacritic again if you dont believe my list. I ordered them by exclusives and by score. most of the games on xbone giving it a score is a racing game. forza 6, 5 and 2 mamde 80 plus score. Wow thats the best xbox got? Bottomline: PS4 has more games than xbox one so its inevitable to also have several low scored games like the order and killzone but thats not really looking into the big picture isnt it?? i look at the metascore of xbox ones and almost all I see in the 90's score are multiplats. great job.

BattleAxe3588d ago (Edited 3587d ago )

@ Freddy,

The games that I listed were supposed to be 'key' games for the PS4, which never materialized into anything significant. It's interesting that Microsoft has more 'first party' I.P. in your list than Sony has. Sony has been relying hard on indies and 3rd party devs for their exclusives.

FreddyFazbear3588d ago

What the hell are you talking about? More first party? Are you that ignorant? Ori and the blind by moon studios 3rd party, titanfall by respawn 3rd party, gears by epic games 3rd party, sunset overdrive by insomniac 3rd party, dead rising 3 by capcom, quantum break by remedy 3rd party, ryse son of rome by Crytek. The only 1st party devs there are turn 10 double helix and microsoft studios. While sony games have naughty dog, sucker punch, media molecule and supermassive games. So sony still beat microsoft 4 to 3. You lose again bro. Just stop with the excuses and denial. Microsoft is very guilty of having 3rd party exclusive. And by the way sony has more 1st party studios than microsoft.
