Forums - Microsoft - id's Carmack wants to make a Kinect game for XBLA

 

"I have an itch to make a Kinect title for Xbox Live." That's what id Software's resident technology guru, John Carmack, told Joystiq during an interview conducted today, though he admits, "I don't even know what I'd want to do yet." 

"I can't use Kinect for our real games; there just isn't a place for our current FPSes on there," Carmack said. "But it's an interesting technology, and an Xbox Live game would be the perfect platform to do something like that on, at about the same scale of [a game for] an iOS device."

Im telling you, Kinect will be a breath of fresh air for the stale gaming industry

I cant wait to see what new creative and original things developers can come up with!!



John Carmack is awesome.. He spend the whole day at the forums of Toucharcade after releasing Rage: Mutant Bash for the iPhone yesterday.. He's taking in any complain, tips and other stuff to make better iOS games..  that's so cool of him..

Thats what I'm most excited about right now for kinect. You should see how ridiculously fast the pc community has hacked kinect and released awesome software for it.

I think indie developers are going to make some amazing innovations with kinect for xbla games. Not that John Carmack is an indy developer or anything.

I tried Kinect out for the first time at Best Buy today and I must say it was fun. I was pleasantly surprised about not noticing any lag either. I was skeptical about Kinect from just watching videos but actually playing it is a different experience. I think I'll be picking one up soon with Dance Central because I can just imagine that being the best drunk party game ever. I'll probably pick up Kinect Sports as well.

Sounds like a cool guy.



Carmack helped make my first and eternally favorite game of all time, Doom. If he wants to make a Kinect game, I want to play it.
