X-Com Should embrace Kinect

just seen the thread about needing a RPG, and was thinking X-Com could be the start of kinects game play, in effect you wouldn't need a controller at all, 100% voice commands, maybe using the smart glass, ooooooo i mean ooooooooooo

:)

 

A question for Xbox One supporters

Any silly rebuttals will be met with the: BE BRAVE response... It's connectivity can only mean better things....if you stayed away from Kinect the first time around I can see how your fear has lead you into thinking: It's plotting against me, but we need
to stop the fear mongering and embrace the future...come with us into the future...it's ok Ascension..X-1 is future proofing via the cloud...

 

people inbrace the kinect

We already did embrace the Kinect on the Xbox 360, it failed and every game for it failed and sucked.

 

would be nice but no Kinect only games. But the Kinect could take a pic of you and make your face to in-game face for RPGS/3PS,and that would be awesome.

 

That's one thing I would love to have implemented in all games. Would love to have my face on all my online characters. Just to creep everyone out!!!

 

Terrible idea. XCOM is turn based tactical. How exactly would you move with the Kinect? With gestures and voice commands?

I think not.

 

Yea you would need a controller but the voice commands could be like unit 1 try for a headshots.

 

I was thinking how feasible it would be to do X-com with only gestures and voice. Could be done, but maybe the games systems are so well done thinking about your strategy could be overshadowed by how to wave your hands around or what voice commands commands
to remember.

A great game that thinking back was almost custom tailored to the Kinects gesture capabilities. Black and White where your just a floating hand flying around, picking up stuff, chucking it, teaching your pet with Kinectimals like interactions, and using
magic with simple symbol drawings.

 

Movement is a tiny part of X-Com, with easy solutions:

I never said it was kinect only, you can still use a controller, I am very aware that not everyone likes the kinect.

The smart glass controller has the movement pad, which would be excellent, and all the buttons are there as well, plus there could be a smartglass app which had aditional info.

Gestures could easily make points on the map.

The maps could easily be word orientated, although the developers would have a bit of work to do, eg:

Xbox move soldier to <behind drivers side door of the yellow car> and variations as such, if would take a bit of thinking but finding a way to orientate the map with voices would revolutions playing turn based games IMO, and I don't think it would take that
much planning, eg they could have a kinect map view which showed easy voice commands to make movement easier.

I think kinect support would give a greater feeling of command since your telling the soldiers and command center what to do.
