This was up on the EA store and has since been removed.

Discuss.

OH TALI LET ME REMOVE YOUR HELMET

[daviyoung]

Where to begin...

[Vamphuntr]

As long as it's not required it's perfectly fine for me.

[Forkball]

Dance Central: Citadel

[Chinner]

is it compatible with a story by any chance???

[LQX]

Helmet mode.

[Sophia]

Great, now I can look like a fool in my own home using biotechs!

[BlueSummers]

If this is true it will most likely be used in small ways such as moving planets with your hands for scanning, per say. Another possibility are mass effect mini games using it. lol

[markatisu]

Could easily be used for the mini games (mining a planet, hacking the computers) or going through menus (switching guns)

[BY2K]

Sex scene playable, then?

[subversus]

I'll slap your alien ass face!

[chubigans]

I bet you'll get to talk to the Normandy.

THANKS TO THE POWAH OF KINECT

[Metalmurphy]

Dance Central: Citadel

[ShockingAlberto]

I hope it's true because I am going to play it on PC regardless and the reaction would be priceless.

[TheOddOne]

Dance Central: Citadel

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I guess its THE game for REMEMBER CITADEL.

[Snuggler]

Interesting.

Thing is, I don't see what Kinect could do for Mass Effect. Voice recognition? Maybe for ordering your squad, but that's kind of meh. R6 Vegas 2 did the same thing, it was more efficient to use the buttons.

I don't see what it would add to combat, inventory management, or anything else. It don't really care if they do it or not, but I think it's unlikely.

This this this.

[Nirolak]

Well, the omnitool sword on his arm is in the game, but was not revealed until recently, so presumably this is correct.

EA did make voice commands for The Sims 3 Unleashed already, so it's entirely possible they just ported that over.

Not just kinect compatible, but BETTER WITH KINECT

[Jarmel]

Other than the Kinect logo, that's actually a decent cover for once. Especially compared to the godawful ME2 cover.

[Darkgran]

Sex mini-game?

If they let you order your squad through arm/hand motions it would be cool.



Even if pressing a button is faster and more convenient lol

[darkpaladinmfc]

I'm Commander Shepherd and Kinect is my favourite peripheral on the Citadel.

[Totobeni]

I think it will be one of two things..

-Romancing characters now with your hands and penis
or
-Use Kinect as a mic for multiplayer mode

[Grecco]

I look forward to this

You can silence people during long speeches by showing them a middle finger.

I guess biotics? I thought MS was planning on updating the kinect to work with a controller at the same time, otherwise I don't really see it doing much if this is even true.

The kinect can work as a mic for any game, they wouldn't put the bar on the case if that's it.

[Rebel Leader]

Where to begin...

Robot dancing with legion?

Sign me UP!

[I NEED SCISSORS]

If we can pilot the Normandy and molest EDI then it's worth it.

[Darklord]

Probably some shitty mini-game.

[Afrikan]

I wonder if Microsoft would start money hatting for Motion Control exclusives for multiplat games....I wouldn't put it past them. Especially if the other console motion option might be implemented better.

[Mindlog]

Quoting yourself is tacky so I'll leave this unattributed snippet.

Bioware has a habit of releasing mini-games ahead of the release date. I'm really crossing my fingers for a downloadable Kinect/Webcam dance game. We can import our dances into the ME3 victory rave.

Yup. I AM easy to please.

[LQX]

Now that would actually be cool as the map in the game is manipulated like you would some Kintect software.

[The Technomancer]

I'm honestly curious how this would work. Using it for sci-fi-esque menu navigation would be awesome, I'm picturing the map from ME1

[TheOddOne]

Well there have been MOVE exclusive things done before, right? So, yeah.

[Snuggler]

Other than the Kinect logo, that's actually a decent cover for once. Especially compared to the godawful ME2 cover.

I hate it, another render of default Shepard with a scowl on his face. It's almost as bad as the ME2 cover.

[V_Ben]

If it lets me yell "good", "nasty" or "badass" at my tv, that'll be amusing.

[Yoshichan]

OH TALI LET ME REMOVE YOUR HELMET

THIS.

[Jarmel]

The covers will always have default Shepard. That's a given at this point. The background though and the art just seem to mesh better compared to the atrocious ME2 one.

[InaudibleWhispa]

Here's what Bioware have had to say about Kinect in the past: "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. Can we create a greater sense of immersion during conversations by using gestures? I think we probably could and I think that's where we'll explore." Bioware boss Greg Zeschuk told GamesIndustry.biz last year.

And BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka: "You could bolt it on, do it as afterthought, kind of 'Hey, Ta-dah! It's Kinect-enabled! Check!' Well, that's not how we would do it. We would actually try to think about how you do it in a way that actually makes the game better."

[Mindlog]

I'm hope for some throwbacks. I've lost shield! Taking cover. I will destroy you!

They could also use Kinect to get the paramour achievement.

[Sadist]

oh wow

It'll probably tie into the interrupt system. Punch to punch someone, laugh to laugh, etc.

[alr1ght]

blue and orange and bald.

[user_nat]

Yes. Finally I can scan planets by hand.

Seriously though, they could have you read the lines instead of selecting them.

[Grisby]

I'm honestly curious how this would work. Using it for sci-fi-esque menu navigation would be awesome, I'm picturing the map from ME1

Yeah, my first thought. Could be awesome.

Damn, I wish they would make an XBLA mass effect RTS or something using Kinect.

[Lakitu]

Yeah I agree. I don't hate it, it's about what I expected. The ME 2 cover was so fucking bad that it made me jump to the limited edition just to avoid having that shitty cover in my collection. This isn't anywhere near as bad. Resembles ME 1's cover a little bit I suppose.
