So, let's talk Kinect. It's basically a motion sensor. It's similar to the Eye-Toy by Sony, and is considered the "next big thing" by many. So what kind of games are we in for?
Dance games.
Sports games.
Licensed games.
Minigame games.
A Star Wars game (yay) set in the Prequel Trilogy (sigh).
What the heck happened? I know the Kinect can do better! Just look at Kinect Hacks and you can see just what can be done! I myself have a couple of ideas, of course. Sorry, no KND stuff, but this is pretty good, too.
One of my favorite elements of Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the Wii is the inventive use of the Wiimote. Basically, you move the Wiimote and Nunchuck in the Kamehameha position, and you perform a Kamehameha. A Kinect game could work similar to that. It'd use the Raging Blast/Ultimate Tenkaichi engine, and the concept is similar. Move around the room to control your movement. Punch and your character does a physical attack. Hold that punch and it gets stronger. Move your hands in the proper motions and you can fire a ki attack. There are plenty of options taking advantage of the fact that the Kinect is basically a motion sensor. And if you don't like that, you can play with a standard 360 controller.
This next idea of mine is a little more involved. It's actually a Gundam game. You see, what you do is you use both the controller and the Kinect sensor to control your mobile suit. The controller works as a joystick, allowing you to control your Mobile Suit's movement and fire its weapons. For dealing with other functions on the Mobile Suit's console, such as radar, targeting and weapon selection, you use the Kinect sensor and an avatar of you interfaces with the virtual console. Command your in-battlefield allies with the Kinect's voice-recognition software. You can also deck out your Xbox Live avatar with pilot suits. This can also work for Mechwarrior, to bring an experience like that of the Virtual World Tesla pods.
Or, if that's not good enough, why not combine my two ideas to create a G Gundam game? It's like having a Mobile Trace System in your own home, without the pain!
So, what do you think?
