CEO willing to waste money? Microsoft never changes.
Many people own one, and while I'm not one myself, I'd imagine they would like to use them at some point this generation. They did pay for them after all. Having stuff made for it doesn't need to mean they focus Xbox on it, just that the device actually has something to be used with.
Hopefully off the roof.
Cool, I'm happy if they are forming a separate team to work on this stuff. Doesn't detract from their other development resources and has the potential to get some new Kinect stuff.
I thought that Microsoft had learned from many fans that they don't want this.
Guess not.
I'm being really optimistic here, but this could be leading to a new 1vs100 type game. Avatars and kinect functionality would work really well together in game shows.Avatar enhancement, Kinect development, is Mattrick coming back next?
Putting additional work into hardware that is no longer part of the standard SKU is a waste of valuable time and resources. The only way I can see it working is to give it over to the PC community and let them have at it as part of a larger Windows 10 .
On the one hand, if there is something amazing to be done with Kinect that hasn't been done yet, then I'm all for MS trying to find it.
On the other hand, it's been 4 years and nobody has found it yet. I'm not sure there is something amazing (and game related) to do with Kinect.
Good. No reason for Rare to be wasted on it now.
I've been wanting Surgeon Simulator. That could be an awesome kinect game.I'd say Harmonix has done this multiple times tbh. Rare did pretty well with the first two Kinect Sports as well.
Now if we're limiting this to something amazing that the average NeoGAF member would like... then there's quite possibly nothing that can be done with the tech that'd fit the bill.
I personally want to see more use of Kinect to bring across simple mobile style games, like what was done with Fruit Ninja (and seemingly Infinity Blade). Games like Temple Run or Subway Surfers could be pretty fun if reworked for the Kinect.
I would use it if there was something worth using it for i mean for me and all the people who bought it on launch we have a kinect so if it's interesting i might give it a try.
The job posting says nothing about gaming. I wonder if it could be more about UI navigation or Cortana integration.
Good. No reason for Rare to be wasted on it now.
Just stop.
Fully acknowledged in the job posting:I think this is a futile venture.
If you could fix the latency issue, doesn't Kinect + some kind of head mounted display kind of sound like the most awesome VR set up ever?
I can see the potential if they improve how well it works.
Kinect gets a bad rap on gaf.
But I think its a good device, I use it everyday, and there were some really good games that used it this year.
Looking forward to whatever Microsoft is working on
