Watch as Xbox Kinect punishes user in video game for SWEARING

 

The game informs him that his in-game player has been issued a penalty because of his language

 

Xbox One users discovered last week that swearing on Xbox Live uploads could get them suspended from their accounts.

And it seems that Xbox have taken their disapproval of swearing to a new level by punishing gamers even in private games.

YouTube user RandomFrankP uploaded a video of him playing the basketball game NBA 2k14.

After the Xbox Kinect hears him swearing, the game informs him that his in-game player has been issued a penalty because of his language.

He screams: "What?! That's ridiculous!

"I can't curse in my own house?"

He continues: "I spend $530 for an Xbox One and you're going to penalise me?"

The video has quickly gone viral, being watched over 260,000 times in just a few days.

Some viewers have pointed out that you can turn the option off in the game's settings.

But not everyone disliked the feature. One said: "You can't cuss on the court, it adds realism. I love that feature."

Not sure how to embed the video if some one wants to go ahead with it but here's the url.

So you should read the 3rd article you posted as it has to do with uploads again not private matches and second it's the game that is punishing you not the console/kinect.

EA, not MS. 

Lol I like that you called out your own comprehension skills or lack thereof.

What does EA have to do with any of this?



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

In sports games I think this is an excellent feature.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

2K is the one who added the feature....



Changed the title so it's accurate.

OT: That is such an awesome game feature, I wish more games would have penalties like this cause then I could watch my cousins get trolled big time

Some people need to get outside more.

Well its an option you can turn off.  Choices are good right?

I think it actually shows how cool Kinect implementation can be.

Choice is king.



That's pretty damn awesome actually lol.



This makes me happy! Good job 2k!



Lol, didn't they do the same thing in FIFA? As some have said, nothing to do with Kinect, it's a game feature.



I can confirm the PS4 version of NBA 2K14 also has this feature with the camera. Happened to me this weekend too!
