Awesome outside-of-the-box Kinect game thread

A number of Gaffers, myself included, are underwhelmed by the Kinect titles we have seen so far. Let's spice things up and give the devs some ideas!

My idea:

Virtual Third Base Coach. This game would be super fun! For reals!

Let's hear some awesome ones, GAF!

EDIT - Virtual Catcher could be really cool too. Flashing down signs, talking shit to the batters, etc.

This would be perfect if Natal could still scan items.

Scan a 100 dollar bill and the stripper falls in love with you
Scan Canadian money and she laughs
 
A sex game would help sell Kinetic more than any virtual pet or sports game, it's the troof.
I suppose it could be an arcade style game where you are tasked with pleasing 12 woman, as you move up they expect you to make whoopie to them for a longer amount of time and in an increasingly vigorous manner. There could be achievements for hitting the G spot or whatever.
No one has really tried to tap into the pervert market in the US, there is a lot of money left on the table.
 
You can develop a series of tutorials or instructional software for Kinect.

Like a tae kwon do edition, where it walks you through the exercises and routines one would normally learn in a class. Stretching and learning moves, and they can develop a realistic progression system. So one would have to properly execute a realistic sequence of moves in order to advance in the ranks.

It may be hard for martial arts, since you may need a lot of space, but there are other applications for instructional software.
 
Halo Wars 2 made for Kinect. Pinch movement with hand to zoom out to get an view of the battlefield, voice commands to assign group numbers. Hold hand up in a fist to get list of available buildings you can build, hold flat hand up to get available units for creation. Basic gestures to order units around on the map. Would make for some interesting multitasking gameplay.

Strings - You control a marionet puppet by holding out your hands and manipulating the strings attached to each of your hands. Basic control gimmick and slap it onto a Fable gameplay structure and take the basic concept from the Strings movie with the puppets being aware of they have strings.

Lego Game - Nuts & Bolts gameplay structure, but having the player actually building the vehicles needed to solve the problems with real Lego's. Afterwards scanning them into the game and playing with them. But since Microsoft really hasn't discussed the scanning aspect of Kinect since last year, I doubt that would be possible to pull off.
 
But if the game's out of the box, won't it get scratched? I can't consider anyone would actually put a Kinect game in their 360, so that's the only option. Poor disc.

I kid, I kid. Although I feel Kinect would be a good time to not just drop controllers, but drop retail. A lot of the Kinect games look like they should be $10-$15 XBLA games.

That said, for the topic on hand, I wouldn't mind if something like Eyedentify was remade for 360. We only got a tech demo for the PS3, but it looked cool. Or perhaps with the better sensitivity, we could get some cool ARG games.
 
remember that Japanese Wii game with the bodybuilders running through walls and you had to match the silhouette on the wall? that would be fun. maybe.

Some kind of new version of Twister. The nerds would snap it up in case women ever came round their place.

That would be awesome. Or something like that Human Tetris show where you have to contort your body to fit through weird shaped holes in walls.

Also, thanks for reminding me about that game. Now that I have a Wii I need to play it ASAP.
 
Woodsman Outdoor Challenge- sawing logs, stump throwing, axe tossing
Olympics Floor Routine: Go For the Gold- ribbon tossing, interpretive dance
Billy the Xterminator- swat bugs, catch snakes, avoid bites from insects you're deathly allergic to
Fat Burger King: picture Fat Princess with the Kinect, would work great with the BK marketing deal
Martha Stewart's cooking with MILFs: stir the batter, stir the batter, stir the batter
 
some sort of cheerleading game. it'd have been better if it could be 4 players, but well...

if they did it along the lines of say EBA or something with a career mode, it could be fun for people who weren't even into that.

This reminds me of that game show where you have to make it through an incoming wall that has a cut-out section. You have to form that cut-out shape before it gets to you.

That would also be a cool game.

Seriously, though, a martial arts game seems like a no brainer.
Kicking ass with full body tracking would be awesome, I would buy kentic just for that.

Also, it would be great for a horror game. Use your arm motion to shine a flash light in a dark room, push scary beasties away by flailing your arms and shit. The kinect could add a lot of immersiveness to something like that.
 
To sum up:

This device that is being marketed to children, is actually only good for sex-related endeavors! :lol :lol :lol
 
A remake of Epyx World Games for Kinect.

Weightlifting! Log Rolling! Caber toss! Motherfuckin' sumo wrestling!

Sure there will be Wii Sports clones. But take the awesomeness that was Epyx, and slap that puppy on Kinect. System 3, you've got the rights. Make it happen!
 
(INSERT SQUAD BASED SHOOTER HERE) controlled with normal control but with hand signals for squad commands for when you need to plan silently.
 
Dudebro III: my shit's so fucked up i have to sway side to side hardcore gamers have been wrong for 10 years it's straight up kinect.
