Forums - Microsoft - Kotaku asks developers, "Will Kinect really not work while you're sitting?"

Uh there's that Yoga game. Of course it's going to be in the final kits, since it's the hardest part to do, of course they're still working on it.

I'm not getting any games that require me to stand all the time. 



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

Eh, I consider this a bonus. At least, now, when I'm round somebody's house, and forced to play one of the no-doubt boring-as-shit mini-games that Kinect is "launching" with (I guess Challenger technically "launched"), I'll be able to say "yeah, I'd love to play more... but my legs, they ache after all that working out I've been doing".

I'll get to avert the need to tell them that they've wasted £400,000 on a new house with a lounge big enough to play Kinect, and also lie about my exercise regime.

Win, win.



I asked one of the two members of Forza development studio Turn 10 if I could play their demo sitting down. They said I could not, that it was "optimized for standing."

How are you supposed to accelerate and brake then?

This has since been debunked, time for an update to that OP.

I can see Kinect being delayed, it's still in early development, pre recorded E3 shows and selected people to test it... just screams im not ready

This was what i was confused about at e3, people where saying it was not pre recoreded footage of forza , so how did he accelerate and break?



At least 360 owners will get slimmer.

Seriously, it could explain why there was zero core game in the Kinect launch lineup, only dance and casual games.

Which game can be played if you can't even sit ?

You could sit with PSEye by the way...

He didn't. The game did it for him. It's a mode you can play in Forza 3 where the car automatically speeds up, and brakes for you, and all you have to do it steer. This was the mode/game type they played in for the demo.

It's a feature of the game.

My question still stands... how are you going to accelerate/brake in a game that's "optimized for standing" as the developers say?

edit - I saw now you were replying to someone else... oh well.
