Interesting but this is really just showing something's possible, not that it's good.  I've enjoyed Kinect with Sports and Dance Central but wouldn't want to use it like that.  It's clever, but it's also clearly inferior to existing control schemes.

I have no interest in using any input device just because I can.  I want the best input device for the job.

Very reasonable opinion.

Some people seem to believe that "Does Kinect work with core games?" means "Is it possible to force Kinect controls on a core game?". But that's not the question, you can of course force Kinect controls onto absolutely every game. Just like you could also force racing wheel controls onto every game.

The real question is rather "Does it make sense to force Kinect controls on a core game?" Does the Kinect control scheme's advantages outweight the disadvantages/limitations, so people will actually prefer the Kinect control scheme over traditional controls? I cannot imagine a single WOW player who would seriously use that control scheme for more than a few minutes of "Let's see how it feels to use Kinect controls...". And it was the same with just every core game that people tried to force Kinect controls on (Super Mario Bros etc.).

That's true... If we want to play core games on kinect ( what is possible) we need to start thinking out of the box. And the devs need to be creatif and figure out a new way to play. One day a dev will find a way how you can play on fps on kinect
