Hmmm.... What do do when there are two identical threads titles with the same news? :-/

SIMPLE!

Just check who's profile 'pick' is the hottest...

Attractive dark haired women in underwear on bed, or completely naked hot Christina Aguilera showing her backside...

Sorry Doobie_wop, just wasn't good enough.

YOU'VE GOT THIS ONE IN THE BAG ATTOYOU!

I don't know if I believe this because i'm pretty sure a publisher that doesn't own a development company can't lay them off or tell them to move to different places....especiall with EA owning them.

Ok I'm actually a pretty big Kinect fan but......

Kingdoms had better not be a Kinect game. It could be an epicly awesome game and I just don't think it meshes well with the Kinect interface. Who knows maybe it'll surprise me and work very well with it but for the time being I just don't see how Kinect would improve the experience over a standard controller.

That's the key to development success on Kinect is to design games that the hardware specifically enhances NOT trying to shoehorn games into using the device just for a bullet point on sales.

So hopefully this is false.

I call BS, and it doesn't matter whether Kinect is supported or not, tacked on controls is never good. And if it's needed to play this, then I've already lost interest in the game.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

"The headcount reduction purportedly comes after Codename: Kingdoms publisher Microsoft Game Studios made a "sudden decision" to have Crytek move the development of the game from Budapest to Crytek's Frankfurt studio."

This sounds like Microsoft owns Crytek's ass.

Also if people are getting fired the project at this point must be a mess, though a messy game would be perfect for Kinect, so this sounds weird.
