As cool as Kinect is, I'd never buy it or truly enjoy playing with it. I can appreciate the technology behind it, but that's all.
Now gimme Mass Effect 3, dammit!

Stuff like this is what I'm hoping for. On the other hand, if they do something like bringing the Mako back for some fun family-orientated minigames I will fucking explode.AgentBJ09 said:If this is 'enhanced' by Kinect, here's some things I hope work with it attached to my system...
1. - Voice recognition for dialogue selection. This is pretty much a no-brainer. This IS an RPG after all. Give us some way to speak the selection, then have the NPC respond.
2. - Face mapping. This would only really work if Bioware allows for placement of the face for old PCs within Mass Effect 1, or for new PCs in Mass Effect 3.
3. - Combat orders. Again, a no-brainer, and if used right it would keep combat fast. Tom Clancy's Endwar showed how you could do it well, so follow that example.
4. - Interactive environment. While simple, using your hands to operate keyboards or keypads within the game is still more interesting than using the analog stick or directional pad.
It's the date being pushed back that's pissing everyone off. It seems, judging by the article and by logic, that the game was pushed back specifically to include the Kinect functions.AMAZED said:Im sure you can chose not to use kinect it isn't that big of a deal calm down everybody.
Why do you have trouble with "standing and pointing at the screen?" I would rather do that than sit.Greg Tito said:Rumor: Mass Effect 3 Getting "Better with Kinect"
I find it really hard to imagine shooting Collectors in the face while standing and pointing at the screen, so perhaps BioWare is experimenting with using Kinect for some other nefarious purpose.

The same people are still laughing at you.Luthir Fontaine said:And people laughed at me when I paid money for Kinect well look who laughing now!
Funny, I don't ever recall wanting Kinect support... or wanting Kinect to be in existence for that matter... in fact, I'd be hard pressed to find ANY hardcore Mass Effect fan who gives a toss about the Kinect.Greg Tito said:Apparently, the folks at BioWare have been cooking something that all hardcore Mass Effect fans have been clamoring for: Kinect support.

Yeah, I enjoyed the freedom of playing it with a wiimote so much. With some practice I was able to aim just as well as I do when I use mouse and keyaboard, but since I actually was aiming at things I felt more into the game that way.bombadilillo said:Ah, also a good example. I played both GC and wii versions of that great game and wow. I could never go back. Im not a fan of the duel stick shooter in any case. I have gotten fine with it over the years. But mouse and keyboard fllowed by proper motion controls are better imhoYopaz said:Try Resident Evil 4 for Wii. That actually (in my opinion) improved the controls a lot.bombadilillo said:It was called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Prime_3:_CorruptionFayathon said:All things considered though, a motion based shooter done right sounds like a whole lot of fun to me, though I suspect that it will be some years before we see a real gem come to fruition.
I don't know why other shooters on wii always sucked when perfect examples were out there...
Then again there might be more, I stopped trying to play them.
OT: I can't see this working out that well... maybe just because I don't have that much insight in how Kinect works at all. I never bothered to get it since I would have to knock down a wall and play it in my neighbour's room. Could be awesome, could be a tragedy.
Tell me about it. Between this and the continued "stream-lining" (read: dumbing down) of this series, I really don't think I will even play ME3.The_root_of_all_evil said:Flame shields up everyone. This is gonna be a doozy!
"Better with no bugs" would be preferable.
But i paid so much money for it O_O only game ive got for it is dance central!Mikeyfell said:The same people are still laughing at you.Luthir Fontaine said:And people laughed at me when I paid money for Kinect well look who laughing now!
Sorry but it's true.
Mass Effect 3 will still work with a controller so. Hahahaha
And it's not like motion control is required for innovation. It's a bad idea, a poor innovation, and should have been abandoned. We want innovations in gameplay and story, not a glitchy system of control that would still suck even without bugs, because it increases delay between thought and on-screen action.PettingZOOPONY said:Isn't this what gamers are screaming for, innovation? You console guys are starting to look more and more like jaded PC gamers when their core IP's got changed. Screw you guys who don't like this I would rather them try something and fail than keep coming out with the same old garbage. And its not like it is required to play the game anyways.
