Kinect 2.0 handle all the Xbox One's video capturing, voice command input and motion control detection. All of which are to be fully supported by the Xbox One. You can choose not to use the Kinect but you'd be missing out one of the features that differentiate your console from the competition. The Xbox one interface is still in its infancy and will fastly improve over time, most reviewer have claim that while not perfect voice-command navigation is here to stay. X1 vision is a console that merge entertainment, apps and gaming. In order to achieved this it need the Kinect. |
I know what the features are like. Point of this thread was whether it was forced on us. Technically it was. Blu Ray has become an essential format in the livingroom worldwide. Microsoft knows that the casual fad is over, which is why they must force the next iteration into the Xbox One. If it doesnt sell extremely well it was a lost cause. Bundling it is easier than giving people a choice. I can see through bullshit and was waiting for them to admit that Kinect is not essential to the Xbox One working like they said before E3. Eventually they admitted it. I am still calling bullshit on its relevance to gaming. If people like it for multimedia thats a whole other story.
I've played Kinect with Ryse in particular and theres nothing you cannot say with Kinect that you cannot just input with LB faster after the prompt.
