Kinect with tv could have a lot of cool integration. The problem I see is how would it interact with the viewer without interrupting the show if film makers have no intention of producing movies in real time... maybe it would be the right time for film makers to create a movie engine that has similar functions to game engines.

Making movies with real time application could make for a real revolution... 3D is not a revolution as it existed for more than 50 years but never really took off.

Microsoft could also try to get into family shows for kids using Kinect. There are kids shows that ask the kid to say something then the show pauses for the kid to do something or say something. But Since it's a pre rendered movie there is no way for the show makers to know whether the kid did what he was supposed to do. With Kinect it would be totally different.

Today's consoles are powerful enough to produce kids show graphics. A show made entirely with CryEngine or U4 with Kinect integration could sell the idea to families on itself. Also there are many studies that says that kids learn way more and faster when they have to interact with what they are learning...

Anyway, I think it's a great concept.

Nice opinion piece.

I don't think MS should try hard to remove Kinect as I think it's a great way to differentiate themselves from the competition... they should use it more though. Kinect with a controller could be home to great experiences. Of course if they try to replace the controller when the game could clearly be better with a controller it's a bad idea. But things like using your voice to lure enemies (Splinter Cell?) or NPCs asking you to look at them when they talk (Kinect knowing you're not watching) etc sounds good imo. 

I think MS is off to a great start, can't say I'm dissapointed right now and with rumors of them bringning back older IPs and new ones alongside existing strong franchises well I think there's not much to complain about. 

I hate the flood with shields Lol, what flying flood are there?....Tbh the flood got less scary and less scary and by Halo 3 end it was just they were annoying and that's all Imo but I still love them and really want them to return xD although they can be annoying I liked fighting them

Hunters can't be infected by the flood ;)

Halo books makes the flood seem much more sinister and freaky, Halo 1 started of perfect with them but Halo 3 kinda ruined them, basically what I mean is by Halo 3 end it just felt like I was fighting a stronger covenant.....

I really appreciate your reply and the fact that you took the time to read it.

I had another neat idea for a game using the Kinect. How about something similar to L.A. Noire where you get to interogate criminals, the kinect can sense your movements so for example if you're pacing back and forth it would have an added effect on the NPCs reaction to your question. There would be so many different ways to play the game!

 Nope, is it good? are the flood in it? =P if so I might watch it Lol

If they even dare put the Flood in the Halo tv show they HAVE to make them look scary and not just something that is tough to kill, they can do it easy if they wanted to and reading the books has made me like the flood more xD I hope we get a proper Gravemind again too, they are (graveminds) one of the most intelligent ..things in the Halo universe and also one of the most powerful (I would say they are the most powerful) Halo 1 anniversary Captain Keyes terminal showed them to be even more just full on evil aswell, hope we get more of that and less of just something to kill Lol

Halo Escalation comic books currently have them searching for the Spirit of Fire which has Spartan Red team on it, they survived their encounter with the flood but couldn't warn anybody so went into cyro sleep, Lord hood should find the spirit of fire with his crew, board it (since the ship is broken I think) wake up Red Team only to find The Flood have been on the ship resting, they kill Red Team, kill Lord Hood (not before we have another Keyes moment with a proto-gravemind going through his mind) board his ship, kill everybody on it and use it to get back to Human colonies! xD sounds really harsh but the flood need to be like that....And I love Red Team....would also probably mean Didact would have to team with Humanity though which I don't want Lol

And another problem being they are on the Infinity......every Spartan IV would probably die and the Flood would have the biggest ship ever made by the UNSC which I don't think would happen after the big deal they made about it all in Halo 4 xD would definetely be unexpected though!

Then we could have a dead space type level on the Infinity with Chief! xD nah....too much like Dead Space...Idk if it would work
