| Machiavellian said: Another interesting feature that seems to be standard is the facial mapping. Before, games like Rainbow 6 head this tech using kinect 1. It seems like MS is making this something standard with the hardware and now any game can do this. Little features like this can be very interesting when the console makes it standard for all games. One of the reason why so many games use voice with the kienct because MS made the API standard with the hardware so its easy to implement. If this will be the case for the facial mapping then adventure games like GTA, PRGs and other games that could easily implement this feature would add that immersion and seperate Kinect 2.0 from other devices. Personally Iwould love to be able to build a charcter in a game like Soul Calibur and put my face on it. |
Facial mapping was available with the Xbox Vision Camera. It was added, with 3D mapping, into the Kinect's feature set as a part of the Kinect Fun Labs.
I still think Microsoft should have allowed Kinect to replace the Xbox Vision camera, but it doesn't. :( I wanted really badly to play Totem Ball.
