Its only a smart move if 3rd parties support it on mass, and i really doubt they will. But if they dont we will see a cheaper kinextless box next year, once they start seeing the stats of how few people use it. |
Sorry, we will not be seeing a Kinectless Xbox One.
You may have missed that part of the article as Kinect on the Xbox One is being supported in:
Dead Rising 3:box One Kinect integration allows zombies to respond to loud noises, bright lights and motion in the real world, along with the ability to grapple zombies and fling them off by shaking the controller.
Forza Motorsport 5: You’ll be able to use the head-tracking features again, which should work even better with the higher fidelity Kinect camera. Rumor has it that you’ll be able to do full Kinect enabled racing too.
Ryse Son Of Rome: Command legions using the all-new, high-fidelity Kinect. With the power of your voice you can command your surrounding units in battle in a strategic way to help defeat your foes, fire pilums or arrows, or block incoming attacks.
Killer Instinct: The game uses Kinect to automatically detect who is playing and load their settings.”Say there are eight of you and you just start sitting down. I know a lot of people are like, ah, the Kinect camera in the room, I’m scared! But the coolness of being able to sit down, the controller pairs itself to you when you pick it up. It knows your buttons. It knows how you like to play. It knows what characters you want to play.
“You can just say Start, and go. It knows who you are in the tournament bracket, so it will just automatically do the matches correctly.”
D4: D4 is a game from Swery65 and it actually uses Kinect to control the entire game if you so choose. It can also be controlled entirely with a controller, so it’s an option completely. Word is that the game is an absolute blast to play with Kinect and a breeze to use.
Crimson Dragon: This was originally a Kinect only game on the Xbox 360, but since has been switched over to the Xbox One and now includes regular controls, with the option for Kinect controls as well. Hand gestures for barrel rolls, and voice commands to control dragons are some of the options.
Battlefield 4: This is something quite a lot of people are looking forward to, head tracking in a FPS game would bring an entirely new level of immersion to the genre. Dice has said they are “looking into it”, but no official announcement has been made.
Call Of Duty Ghosts: Activision’s CEO, Eric Hirshberg, has confirmed that Call of Duty: Ghosts will integrate the new Kinect 2.0 voice commands feature. This is a first for a Call of Duty game.
And it's already been a great enhancement in Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Halo Anniversary, etc. of the original Kinect on the Xbox 360. It's like a cell phone, you don't realize how much you use it, till you have one.

Yep. Theres consoles out there with no camera included.
Its last gen or 1 from this gen
360, PS3 and PS4.
Vita comes bundled, DS etc etc.
Its the modern era, not the 1990's.

Guarantee there will be a kinectless SKU within 2 years, id take a bet on that, they released consoles without hard drives last gen and that was much more crippling to the systems.
Of those games listed they use it in gimicky ways, ones not even confirmed, another had added controller support after originally being kinect only.
As i said in another thread, to 3rd parties less than 50% of there audience will have kinect, theyll soon see there is more merit in adding impoving features for all there users not just gimmick features for a minority of there players.
And that 50% is being very generous.
I also dont expect 3rd parties to adopt PS4 touch pad or camera or the wii U Pad in meaningfull ways either on multiplatform games in the long term.
I do expect some early launch titles to use these features while the tech guys and designers are initially having fun playing with them, that will soon wear off.

Thats crazy.
Kinect is intergrated into every single part of the Xbox One. Not just some added features.
Developers realised that Kinect enhances some games not controls some games hence the move that Crytek made.
Every game made for Xbox One uses Kinect. And if you dont realise your using it, then its done its job. You only notice it when your not using it. It makes Skyrim better. It makes Mass Effect 3 better. Yes you dont need it, but its better. Its seemless.
If Microsoft were going to do a SKU without it would be now. So they could outprice Sony. Its obvious Microsoft arent worried about the price or what Sony is doing.
I dont want to buy a gimped Xbox One. Its great that some people dont seem to mind buying a PS4 without the Eye, yet have a controller in their hand with missing features that they HAVE paid for. Or software they cant use because they bought the PS4 without the Eye.
Sony from a business poit of view and a consumer point of view did th wrong thing. I feel sorry for those that buy the Eye. Its gona have bugger all support.
