Rumour: Age of Empires Online: Better with Kinect Sensor

Just as we thought Kinect could not get any better, we want to believe we need to, again, reshift our expectations. One of the best RTS franchises from the past (Age of Empires) has recently gone Beta on the PC, and by the looks of it, it may be ‘better with Kinect Sensor‘.

Age of Empires Kinect?

Before continuing you should know that listing a game on Xbox.com that is being played via Windows is not a big surprise, especially not as a game like Age of Empires Online uses Games for Windows Live, which is comparable to Xbox Live, in that games support achievements and such. The only difference is that these games are played on a PC that has Windows on it, instead of on an Xbox 360. The surprise is in the following, namely that the box of the game with the user below is an Xbox 360 one and has the purple stripe ‘better with Kinect Sensor’ on it.

Should this be true, then Microsoft has probably more surprises up their sleeves than we can handle at this time . Also, it could be the first cross-platform implementation of a Kinect game if it launches for both Xbox 360 and Windows PCs (besides the demo shown where WP7 and Xbox Kinect interact), or just the first great game for Windows Kinect.

It could however be a simple mistake by someone putting this game into the games system that Microsoft uses to keep track of achievements.

We don’t know yet whether or not this is valid, but be sure to keep an eye on our website as we supply the updates. What are your thoughts on this. Is the listing as ‘better with Kinect’ just a human error or something huge to be announced soon by Microsoft?

While I stink at competitive RTS, I've always enjoyed playing the campaigns, and Age of Empires was always fun.

If this came out for the 360 that would be great! I'd look forward to this and Halo Wars 2 as excuses to use Kinect on RTS, though having the option of being able to play without Kinect would ensure the game(s) reached the highest possible fan base.

Kinect isn't even close to precise enough to replace a mouse for hardcore RTS gamers. We would love cross platform with people using Kinect though. The massacre would be fun.

It's amazing how some people accept and adapt to different controllers . With the update (being able to track fingers ect) it'll make it even more precise.

Anyway, why would you need to play people who supposively have a sucky way of playing? Maybe you're just not very good?

Haha I'm sure as hell not good. I get owned in RTS games, but I enjoy them. I'm lucky to even be silver league in Starcraft 2. The easy prey could be nice, and I feed off the tears of destroyed peons.

I, of course, have no objections to RTS games on Kinect, just the idea that it would be comparable to PC controls, just as analog sticks are still not comparable to mouse controls in shooters. Calling it something that would take "The last bastion of RTS" from PC is pretty silly, as PC still dominates the quality RTS, RPGs, and Shooters.

Lag is too big for Kinext and RTS. Hopefully next gen Kinect will be faster and finally we would get RTS big on consoles. Maybe...

I dont believe in this rumor but i hope it is true. Age of Empires Kinect would help sell some Kinect systems and increase respect for Kinct among core gamers.

Oh come on, it's nowhere near that bad. Some games lag is worse than others, sure, but it would not be impossible to use as a controller for RTS.

Now Nazna's comment probably holds true that keyboard/mouse users would have an advantage, but who's to say there would even be cross platform matches? IT isn't that common with more established console genres so...

your kinda creepy aint ya haha

And no I meant not for this gen, we know this Kinect is having issues with perfect movement, so does a cordless mouse but that is not the point, I am talking about next gen, this gen pc only users can say that (more or less) consoles dont have true mouse/keyboard support. This would be the way around that.

I can see all next gen consoles having a kinect of some kind imo.
