Forums - Microsoft - Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is coming to Kinect

THis had better work, you guys. I'm not kidding. For the past three years, ever since my original Xbox died, I've lamented it and considered buying a new one. I would spend considerable money on an adapter that allowed me to use my Steel Battalion controller on my 360.

Owning and enjoying Steel Battalion makes you part of an unspoken fraterntiy. We can talk about the experience of playing theg ame and the full impact of what that means can only be communicated to another person who's played it.

I want a Steel Battalion ressurection more than almost any other dead franchise. This is bigger than anything. This is bigger than Ogre Battle.

If they lose what makes Steel Battalion good....

I don't get it.  What's Steel Battalion without the controller?

Are we sure it will require Kinect?  It may just be Kinect enabled, using it for head tracking or something.

I don't know. An HD screen would give us enoguh screen real estate to have some kind of interactive console, but I don't know. I don't know how it will work.

It's for Kinect, specifically, says Major Nelson.



Holy shit. Kinect is redeemed!

IDK dude

The more I think about this, the more I realise what made Steel Battalion so good was... pressing all the buttons!!! Will be intresting to see how Kinect deals with this issue.

Have you seen footage of the Kinect Dashboard?  A complex interactive menu doesn't seem very feasible.

Hrm.  I really want to see what they have planned.



They won't mess up Steel Battalion. They can't. It's not feasible.

Oh God, what if it comes with its own controller in addition to working with Kinect

oh God

Then wouldn't it be Kinect enabled and not required?  That's why I asked before.

I don't know! Why is there so much we don't know!

I'm going to bed. When I come back in the morning, there better be details to read!

If anyone has details, I expect them to be shared in this thread! Keep an eye out!



So much for there not being any hardcore games for Kinect :P
