You know what would be a cool minigame, where you had to search a room in a time limit and you actually had to mime picking up objects and tossing them around to find what you are looking for.
Rumor: Mass Effect 3 Getting "Better with Kinect"

I always said we won't know how hard Kinnect would flop until they made a core game use it.
I'm sad that Mass Effect 3 has to be the test dummy.
Hey but now my expectations are digging holes on rock bottom so I suppose anything will be better that I'm expecting.

Err...not really sure how you'd use Kinect in an RPG, and that stripe of purple kind of ruins the box art.
Does anyone else think Shep looks like a ninja, or is that just me?

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:
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:
Firstly, ladies and gentlemen crying that it had "Better be optional.":
I have seen stickers that say"Requires Kinect" and "Better with Kinect". The fact that the (possibly fake) box art says "Better with" points directly at Optional.
After playing through DA2 multiple times, I fail to see the removal of RPG elements people keeping complaining about (Unless they mean the copy-pasted dungeons. People talking about the copy-pasted dungeons need to be slapped, as copy-pasted dungeons are everywhere, and are not counter to RPG elements at all.), and continue to hope for and expect good things from ME3.
I fail to see how Kinect can be smoothly integrated into the game, personally. Face capture is one thing, but that's not exactly much of an integration. I can see head/shoulders movements possibly being "important" for the added features. Maybe a weapon swap, squaddie command or other little quirky combat trick. The problem with that is, I know I fidget a lot whilst playing video games, and that other people do as well. Doesn't strike me as a good idea that a possibly-incidental motion could totally break my flow and/or strategy. This all being said, I'm pretty sure the game designers are smarter than I am.
Personally, I'm curious to see what Bioware and EA would do with Kinect functionality, but seeing as, even if the rumour is true, said functionality would be optional, I'm not predicting a big hit to gameplay.

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:
I think this would make the game worse. To the person that said how we always dismissed motion controls as casual games and were waiting for hardcore games, this is not what we wanted. We want hardcore games designed from the ground up for motion controls, like what Red Steel on the Wii was supposed to be. We don't want hardcore games that have already been established to have motion controls shoehorned in and just make a big clusterfuck like the multiplayer in San Andreas was. Besides, I don't even like motion controls to begin with. They are a gimmick that needs to wither and die like the recent return of 3D movies.
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:
I agree. People should give things a chance before they rage about them. However,this case does have a previously set precedence. Motion controls are a wonderful medium and shoulgd be given proper time to be developed. That being said the ony good game for a motion controled system is one that is built from the ground up. We saw the problem with just sewing in motion controls in the PS3 release of Socom 4. The move action was placed afterward and therefor was not as solid as a ground up game. I do believe that this add on will not truly do anything harmful to the game, btu it will not become better.LavaLampBamboo said:
