Microsoft has now captured the spotlight again planning to release its development kit of the Xbox Kinect to software developers to enhance the features of their newest addition to the gaming family. Kinect has been what some would call “a hit” allowing the user to become the controller throughout their gaming experience. Kinect has already begun capturing the attention of hackers that have been putting the technology through some tests, including 3D Photography. The announcement came during an open day at Microsoft’s research center near Seattle. Microsoft is hoping that this will greater improve their content and make their presence even more within homes.

well, u may have thought of this already. not sure..but ive researced many forums on feedback of kinect gameplay, and the results all point to FPS games..I think to really blow ps3 out of the water you should adhere to the gamers on this one. now i know th the advanced movements and peripheal visions of fps gameplay, it kinda makes it hard to use kinect. what about if you create a interactive controller that is still motion responsive sort of like”the power glove” from the old school NES.maybe place a trigger button inside the glove b the trigger finger(s) to allow precision shooting, while using maybe a D-pad for cycling of weapons etc,all while using total body motion that kinect is so popular for, so that you are still usng a controller but also still in full body game wireless heaven../maybe,two gloves where u use one to cycle weapons or even two to hold two guns at once one on each hand…just casual gamer with a little insight..hope it helps…sooner rather than later..fans are getting restless

The New Product Of Xbox/Microsoft…Hand-Held Console
Its simple they make a hand held device that is the same shape as an xbox 360 controller but with a small screen that flips up off the controller. Small chips that work as the disc slide into the back. You should be able to access your xbox live account to it as well so this way you could play call of duty for example online and still ‘rank up’. Microsoft could make some big bucks off this.

Ok so here is my idea… I’ve read a few of the suggestions and I think the glove is a great idea. It would not only allow players to use the kinect for an interactive first person shooter, but also various other types. One idea I’ve recently discussed with a few friends of mine is an interactive star wars game. You interact with the game as you use the motion of your hands as the light saber. Also the glove could let you use the force to grab items, throw enemies, force choke, ect. Just an idea I had. Hope it helps!

no what they really need is two hand held controllers. Picture this two hand held controllers designed to hold in a pistol grip with an operational joystick on top and buttons down the grip with a trigger at the back. Not only then could you play normal games but you could utilise your whole body and be absorbed into the atmosphere of the game your playing using your body to jump duck punch kick stab grab or do anything you like. this would allow you to walk and look around without having to do over exagerated jogs on the spot or be moved without controll.
Picture assassins creed walking up to two guards with the joystick then selecting the weapons with the buttons then zoom throwing your hands up into thier throats with two hidden blades then drawing your sword with a gesture of your hand to your side and literally fending off an oncoming blow and jumping backwards to avoid another before slewing your enemies.
personally i believe this is the gaming future as it allows every thing.
