According to our tip, Microsoft is using the Spike TV Video Games Awards (VGAs) to introduce some big action games, including new titles for the Kinect. The headliner is Gears of War for Kinect, coming straight from Epic Games. Now, we cannot clarify whether or not this is an all-new Gears of War for Kinect or if it's an existing Gears of War game, retro-fitted for the camera controller. But it definitely clicks with recent rumblings that Microsoft wants to get in front of the conventional wisdom that the Kinect is only a toy for casual gamers and family.

 

[Nirolak]

Actually, I think we'll make this one its own thread due to the sheer wtfness. :lol

 

[NomarTyme]

omg.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Gears of war 1 or 3? The fuck?

Cant wait just for the absurdity of this.

 

[JB1981]

The real reason for the delay. KinectiCole

 

[Y2Kev]

Gears triology flor kinecticut

 

[ZealousD]

wat

 

[Peff]

X-Box: Look at all dat juice.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Oh God, I hope they try to show this live. :lol

 

[graywolf323]

I can't even figure out how to respond to this :lol

wow just wow

 

[[Nintex]]

to introduce some big action games

Perfect Dark 2 is that much closer.

 

[Weenerz]

Has to be better than GoW2.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Bitter Tears of War

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Completely wrong move if true. I want as many games as possible for Kinect, but not like this! Gears is made for a joypad.

 

[Man]

Probably some minigame or a special weapon.

 

[VegaShinra]

If Gears of War 3 was delayed for this reason, then Fuck You MS!

 

[chubigans]

I can see this working if it...if uh...well no, I don't see this working at all. :lol

 

[Red]

Why is this happening

 

[Raide]

Kinect Brofist Technology.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

YOU are the Chainsaw Gun.

 

[A Human Becoming]

 

[Suzzopher]

A on rails hoard style mode or game based around that concept, like the Kinect mode in Harry Potter.

 

[Kaako]

Oh God, I hope they try to show this live. :lol

You and me both. It better be a Kinect option or separate game. I'm not interested in a Kinect-only gears.

 

[Amir0x]

Can't wait for this. I was worried that Microsoft would stop announcing hardcore games for a minute there

 

[Snuggles]

It's obviously not gonna be "fully Natal", most likely the hybrid controls we've heard about. I can see it using voice recognition, motion for nade tossing, motion for executions - stuff like that, but it's not like you can control a character's 3D movement with Natal. You're not gonna be walking/roadie running in place and aiming/shooting your gun at the same time using Natal.

Can't wait for this. I was worried that Microsoft would stop announcing hardcore games for a minute there

Really, it's the best of both worlds.

 

[Mandoric]

It was bad enough that Kinect needed 8 feet of space in front of my couch, now it's going to need 3 feet behind it too? :lol

 

[V_Ben]

Will I have to wear power armour?

 

[Grisby]

My chainsaw pantomime is ready.

 

[soco]

480p, tearing, no sitting.

Coles not recognized.

easter egg: plays metallica if you are wearing a metallica t-shirt.

 

[Metalic Sand]

It was bad enough that Kinect needed 8 feet of space in front of my couch, now it's going to need 3 feet behind it too? :lol

The idea of actually jumping behind cover :lol

 

[Wallach]

So, how about that new Gears of War for Kinect...?

mmHMhmmHEE

HheeeewwhehahahaHAAA

 

[WillyFive]

Why is this happening

The future of gaming, the Nintendo Revolution, developers liking people playing their games, etc., etc....

How bad can it be?

 

[Raide]

It was bad enough that Kinect needed 8 feet of space in front of my couch, now it's going to need 3 feet behind it too? :lol

You will also now have to position your furniture so you have chest high walls for cover.

 

[Empty]

can't wait for some intense freestyle action in cole train's hip-hop academy.

 

[Man]

Is he playing Gears?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Time to bulk up...

 

[V_Ben]

If I star swearing profusely at the game not recognising my actions, will I scare the sh*t out of my enemies? I'd like that.

 

[BobTheFork]

Finally gamers will be able to actually live out those awful Wii commercials where the guy were ducking behind walls and couches. Be for the love of God, let 'you are a classy lassy' be the chainsaw command

 

[Kai Dracon]

With Kinect (tm) for Xbox 360, not only will you be able to look at all dat juice, you'll be able to swim in it!

Controller free juicing is here, only with Kinect (tm) for Xbox 360.

 

[DMeisterJ]

They're probably using Kinect to battle the host advantage in MP.

 

[Canova]

:lol

ladies and gents, time to bail the fuck out of 360

 

[A Human Becoming]

Is he playing Gears?

Socom 4.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Is he playing Gears?

Just Cause 2, I think.

Edit: Or not. :lol

 

[V_Ben]

With Kinect (tm) for Xbox 360, not only will you be able to look at all dat juice, you'll be able to swim in it!

Controller free juicing is here, only with Kinect (tm) for Xbox 360.

Oh god damnit, you want me to quote your tag, don't you sweetie :lol

 

[Takao]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Oh man, please tell me they're demoing it live!

 

[Karram]

That would be really stupid unless its something like taunting players. But I won't be surprised if Epic is going to show a new IP using Kinect.

 

[[Nintex]]

From Rare's October news letter:

By the time the next newsletter rolls around Scott should be nice and settled, and ideally we’ll all be surfing the wave of a teeth-rattlingly successful Kinect Sports launch. Then we can start thinking about what’s next. Oh yes.

Safe bet their new game is there.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

:lol

ladies and gents, time to bail the fuck out of 360

Yep. It was fun while it lasted but if this is the future of CONSOLE gaming than PC gaming here I come!

PC gaming is free from the cancer that is motion gaming right? RIGHT?

 

[Zzoram]

This will obviously be optional hybrid controls. No reason to hate, hybrid controls for core games is exactly what GAF was asking for. Obviously the launch message was casual oriented but Microsoft knows it needs hybrid core games to maximize Kinect sales. Epic also clearly wants Unreal Engine to be the engine of choice for Kinect developers so it makes sense for them to put it in Gears which is the game they use to showcase UE3 upgrades.

If they somehow do this right it could be huge.

 

[TUSR]

With Kinetics input lag this will be a real KZ2 killer.
