Forums - Microsoft - Kinect gets more interesting,plays call of duty.what next?

Very neat. Considering microsoft said that controller/kinect hybrids are coming, I can't wait to see if they can combine the 360 controller with Kinect for a good FPS.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

you are at a loss to why i started a thread to show kinect working with another hack and the ability to use headtracking,bodytracking and use in a fps? well that is your loss.why did you come into the thread?


Well last time I checked, the Wii uses the sensor bar and WiiMote while the PS3 uses the PSEye and Move to play motion sensor games "such as" COD.  So the Xbox 360 using Kinect and a controller to do the same is... old hack?  pun intended.

The point is,  what is Kinect doing here that the other two motion control solutions can't?   Kinect isn't doing anything that the PS Move can't.   That's the whole point.   For Kinect to earn the 'It just does everything!' title.  It has to actually work within the constrains of the hardware. 

Anyone with a brain knows Kinect could copy the PS Move with a controller based setup and achieve this (And ultimately will probably resort to that).  

 

What people question (And still will question after this video) is can core titles be played the way Kinect has advertised them.  (Controller-less and intuitively).   My answer is still no until we see it working properly.

That was your 1,000th post.  Congratz!



what core games has kinect advertised?1000th post and should have been a better post,what a way to waste a milestone moment lol.i just said the possibilities of what could be done are becoming clearer.

Microsoft has yet to advertise "core" games for Kinect.  But we have seen "core" games like Madworld and No More Heroes for the Wii and Resident Evil 5 for the PS3 Move along with the upcoming Killzone 3 and Dead Space 2.  Hey, with Kinect and a controller, why not have a Resident Evil Kinect version out sometime as well as a Kinect and controller enabled Dead Space 2?  It's very clear what a "camera" and "controller" combo can do.  We've... seen it already.  Just saying.

Wait so killzone 3 and dead space 2 have body tracking for the move? sounds cool



Based on the feedback, i guess you can't point out that the kinect can do some of the same things as Wii and Move.  Obviously it is not innovative to do the same thing.  But, it can do other things that they can not, that's what they are pushing now to differentiate themselves from the others.  Later, they will probably add the support to these functions.

Yes, the PSEye is capable of body tracking, and how much it would be used I do not know.  But I'm sorry to inform you that both Killzone 3 and Dead Space 2 for the PS3 will not utilize body tracking at this moment.



The gestures can also be done by using the motion sensing of the nunchuck but not the leaning.

The leaning can easily be done with the move controller but sony shot themselves in the foot by not including any motion sensing in the navigation controller.

So you need a move nunchuck combo, or a kinect wii combo.

Body tracking on the ps-eye is very iffy, it works under the right lighting but who wants to play an fps with all the lights turned up?

Next gen we'll probably get an all in one solution. I don't think microsoft will bother to release yet another peripheral to work with kinect. Kinect the standard 360 controller might be used, but having to hold the controller with 2 hands will severely limit its use.

No the PS Eye is capable of taking low res still shots, which is how it can track back and forth movement. It has no depth sensor and it has an extremely low RGB camera, very limited movement is actually possible since it follows the infrared sensors in the controllers. So this would never be possible on the Move unless they put out upgraded camera, sorry to burst your bubble.
