PostSubject: Bioware to implement Kinect into Mass Effect 3   Wed Jul 14, 2010 4:32 pm

http://www.mobile-computing-news.co.uk/industry-news/5761/bioware-considers-kinect-for-mass-effect-3.html

PC gamers and Xbox 360 gamers alike are in unison in agreeing that BioWare is one of the best developers on the planet. Not just in RPGs, where it is paralleled only by the brilliant Bethesda of Fallout 3 fame, but in gaming in general. So when a company like that says it is looking into integrating Microsoft Kinect into Mass Effect 3, even hardcore gamers sit up and listen.

True gamers will eventually benefit

Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz (free subscription required), Bioware bigwig Greg Zeschuk said his team was keen to explore the motion technology. He confessed that he thought the first wave of games would be the casual titles, saying ‘Phase one of those is the dancing, fitness and party games, the sword-swinging games.’ He continued, saying ‘where it gets really interesting is when developers like us can tear it all down and ask: “What can we actually do in a game like Mass Effect?” Can we create a greater sense of immersion during conversations by using gestures? I think we probably could and I think that’s [what] we’ll explore.’

Not doing Dance Dance Krogan

Being friendly with his quotables, Greg Zeschuk continued talking about potential gesture controls in Mass Effect 3, saying ‘We’re not going to do a party game, we’re not going to do Dance Dance Krogan for Mass Effect. The reality is it’s going to have a really positive impact.’

One has to admit, though, Dance Dance Krogan would be awesome! We can picture it already.

Pedigree

BioWare has had an impressive few seasons – in post WC football parlance – releasing the very good Mass Effect, and following that on with the undeniably brilliant sequel to the series, as well as releasing Dragon Age: Origins, and its multitude of sequels.

The point is, if developers like BioWare use Microsoft Kinect and implement it well, it’s likely the hardcore gamers who have been dismissive of it will begin to sit up and pay attention. We already know Mass Effect 3 is going to be awesome, and perhaps Microsoft Kinect can make our hopes of seeing Dance Dance Krogan as a mini-game come true.

In the meantime, Mass Effect 2 and its brilliant predecessor are available in-stores.

If done right that could be pretty sweet Very Happy nice to see some hardcore games wanting to use it. Because I will not buy Kinect if it is all stupid casual games.

The shooting will not have Kinect. They are trying to find ways to implement Kinect into conversation which if done well can be revolutionary for motion controls and video games.

Yeah, so far I think the most we got is you typing something and the NPC reacting to it.

If I remember correctly someplace said kinect/natal would be compatable with PCs. I DO remember BBC saying it in a Ustream chat, but hay, he hates Xbox.
