Microsoft has suggested it will add Kinect support into all of its first-party titles from now on. But don’t worry, we’re not seeing the death of the venerable Xbox 360 controller just yet.
The explosion in Kinect support will come in a variety of different flavors from full on arm waving madness to subtle inclusions like head-tracking in Forza 4. Find out what Microsoft Game Studios boss, Phil Spencer has to say on the subject after the jump…
Quizzed on the future of Kinect support in Microsoft titles (including Halo 4) by Gamespot, Spencer explained:
“There are some things that just seem to make navigating and playing games much easier…in the end, you’ll see all first-party games using some form of Kinect functionality.
[Look at] voice or head-tracking in Forza, which you wouldn’t say is somehow turning the Forza gameplay on its head. Rather, it’s just using the advantages of what Kinect brings to make the experience better.”
Are you keen to see Kinect support incorporated in every new game? Or do you think motion control should remain strictly a gimmick?
