Controller free gaming is good and all, but why not allow the possibilty to use some buttons or an analog stick if people want to, atleast then we get something else then just on-rail games. And these press guy's have to stop trying to make it look like Kinect is the cheapest motion control option out there, everyone knows it's expensive. Just give us some good games and a proper working device to warrant the price.(and stop paying these kind of idiots to do an interview). |
MS doesn't even need to design and market a supplemental nunchuck or navi-con unless they really want a one handed controller for basic character navigation (walking/running). The standard game pad analog stick would work fine.
The only problem with that is from a marketing perspective, seeing as how one of the key marketing bullets for Kinect has been "controller free gaming" and the suggestion that only controller free gaming is "real" motion control that takes gaming to the next level. It's just marketing of course, but admitting that an analog stick is still the simplest way to navigate a character around an environment pretty much flies in the face of one of Kinect's key selling points.
