Frontier Developments boss David Braben feels a first-person shooter with Kinect support would be "phenomenal", providing it's sensibly combined with a controller interface.

"I think we've only seen the beginning of Kinect, in terms of what it can do," Braben told OXM at a Microsoft Games Studios showcase. "I don't think we've seen any controller-using combination with Kinect that I think is really exciting. 

"I'm not saying that what we're doing now is exciting," he added, referring to current Frontier project Kinect Disneyland Adventures. "It is! But I'd like to see, for instance, first-person shooters with a controller, like they are now, but where I can move my head left and right.

"The thing that did for me, is my first magical experience of Kinect was just doing head-tracking, just doing that," Braben commented later. "It feels like there's a portal into another world. It's a really simple thing, but you add that into a first-person shooter, and it would be phenomenal. I mean, why hasn't Activision done it?"

Cmon Halo 4...show em how its done.

Yea, with headtracking you can get some awesome 3D effects as well in a normal tv. It could work very well, but probably only be fully utilised next gen when everyone has kinect built in.

It'd probably be that, unless another developer is eager to take the chance.  It WON'T be any Activision published games though...

It will be awesome in combination with those new 3d vr glasses sony is working on. Those in combination with kinect, so you can see your own legs and arms in game in first person view, yes please.

Yes, except that it didn't have headtracking, and the flickering red wireframe graphics gave you a wicked headache. There was a first person tech-wing fighter plane game according to wikipedia, called red alarm.

Hopefully it all comes together next gen. Kinect 2.0 should have less lag too. Headtracking is possible now, but I have a feeling it might induce motion sickness with too much lag.
