Rumor: Microsoft Developing AAA Shooter for Kinect

[Mr. Omega]

So AAA shooter = hardcore gaming device?
Someone tell Nintendo to make a AAA shooter so the internet can stop bitching!

Serious: The mentality "shooters = hardcore" is one of the things gaming as an industry and we as consumers need to get rid of, the sooner the better. Still, a shooter on the Kinect would be interesting. It might work, might not, but the result would be interesting.

Not content with having thousands of boring FPS' already, while also importing a very old gimmick, Microsoft thinks the best thing to do next is merge to two together

I would rather have something in my hands. This is ALMOST enough to get me to buy motion controlls of my PS3. Before you flame I have a 360, PS3, AND a PC.

The first question that comes to my mind is "Why?". It is, then, immediately replaced by the even more baffling question "How?!". I'm not convinced either question has an appropriate answer.

Goldeneye? I thought it was good (controls with wiimote + nunchuck = genius), but then again, it is Nintendo consoles exclusive made by Activision.

 

[snfonseka]

Not interested.

Not without some dedicated peripheral integrating an actual trigger/button for shooting precisely when you want.

Doesn't have to be as complicated as Move, but yeah. basically something like that.

Time for boring grey-athon #762. Oh! But this time you can make a pistol shape with your fingers! Go microsoft! -_-

A Kinect title for "hardcore" gamers? To me that makes as much sense as making porn for women. Sure, you could probably do it, and it'll sell a few copies, but I don't think it demonstrates a proper understanding of your market.
