Will developers struggle to come up with ways to control games. There aren't that many combinations you can use with your body while standing.

I'd love to see the ability to scan a toy gun and use that in a game,imagine that! you could go out and buy any toy gun and use it as a peripheral.

or maybe a gun that uses a flashing LEDs on the front to show you are shooting - it won't be able to see trigger pulls but can see flashing lights

Ok... maybe guns are a little obvious... toy swords?

MS removed the ability to scan in items, they said so themselves, so do not expect that from Kinect. 

In a future iteration of the technology maybe, but not this one.

That's a bit rubbish.

they didnt say thet took it out, they just havent incorporated it just yet, which they could later using an update

I really cant see  playing FPS, Racing or ETC games on kinect without this feature

Possibly read wrong. I just remember it being said that they removed it from the Kinect launch as well as some other stuff.

Some article on it a few weeks back.

The ability to scan things wasn't removed. MS just said that no actual game is using this ability.

Ok, assuming it is still there - MAKE IT HAPPEN MICROSOFT!

if they can make it work well, with some good natural directional controls, I may be tempted to get a 360.

I've said it before and I'll say it again for good measure; the motion controllers for the HD consoles will not be the second coming. Move seems to be moving very, very slowly at best and Kinect won't fly off the shelves either imo, the incentives for purchasing either is just not there for now.

If none of us can imagine what KINECT can do to gaming then how is anything ever gonna come out of it?
