this video just further confirms the fact that using kinect for movement controls is stupid. However, if i could scream FUSROHDAH at my TV and have my character actually use it that would be awesome, although my neighbors prolly wouldn't appreciate it.
Skyrim: Now With Real Shouting

I already yell the Dragon Shouts on occasion, so I can definitely get behind that. Also, voice commands to open the menus would be nice.
Somehow this looks less immersive than pressing Z to do the same. And makes you look like a complete lunatic in the process.
Predicting an upswing of police calls because of that crazy neighbor kid yelling at his TV even more than usual. You read it here first, kids.

This video would have been much more awesome if he had yelled FUS RO DAH!... and taken an arrow to the knee.
The problem with something like this on Kinect is that Skyrim is not a non-stop action game. There are long periods of walking through forests and caves, honing skills at alchemy tables or forges, and fiddling with your inventory to perfect your character. None of these things translate well to the comparably slow response time of Kinect.
Sure, it'd be cool for battles, fighting dragons, and using FUS RO DAH!!! in your living room. Unfortunately, those aspects make up far too little of actual gameplay time that it would be thoroughly frustrating to have to stand there wobbling back and forth to walk up the 7000 Steps.

This might get tiring, you know...because I personally play in sittings of at least 3-4 hours ( I'm sure most of you do to ), but this is just fucking awesome. DO YOU HEAR THAT MICROSOFT??? Instead of giving us pieces of shit like Kinect Adventures / Sports / Pets / Buttsex or whatever, maybe do something good? What I'm saying is that even if it's buggy, this is ONE guy. I can't comprehend how entire groups of highly trained people can't touch the Kinect's potential ( and just give us a goddamn controller for moving around, stop sticking to the "no controllers EVAR!!" policy! Maybe this way, games such as Rise of Nightmares or whatever it's called, could turn out for the better)
To those who keep saying that it's till not better than a controller/keyboard, I think you're completely missing the point of this.

Agreed. I see no motion commands for several of the things he does in game, like strafe or look up and down. And often times he has his left foot out to balance himself, but the game character never starts walking forward. He's trollin'.Stubee said:
Agreed. Looks totally fake. My sole evidence? When the transition happens roughly half way through to remove some walking gameplay, the image of the 'player' in the top right doesn't shift/transition with it.Stubee said:
Can you not see some benefit? The motion controls look dumb, but voice commands to bring out weapons sounds like an idea more games should use. After playing with the Bing Search voice commands in todays dashboard update, I can't help but confess that the voice recognition is really impressive.Strazdas said:
While motion control isn't really my cup'o Tea, and I tend to rely on bows which this makes seem difficult, the voice commands seem incredibly useful.
"M'aiq does not understand what is so impressive about shouting. M'aiq can shout whenever he wants."
Well, now we can too.
