Feel Free To Swear At Dead Space 3

Using Microsoft's Kinect peripheral, Visceral Games may have figured out a way to encourage players to curse at their consoles.

Microsoft's marketing line "Better with Kinect," sounds good, but we've rarely found Kinect integration anything more than novel. Dead Space 3's use of the peripheral, however, might encourage a few potty mouths to go buy the system.

In a recent interview with CVG, Dead Space 3's executive producer Steve Papoutsis said, "We actually have some commands that people will need to figure out. But there are commands where you might be in a certain situation and you might yell a specific expletive and it might behave in a way that you want it to. We definitely have done some things there..."

This reminds me a little of how the old GameCube game Eternal Darkness would screw with player's expectations. It sounds like easily frustrated gamers will want to leave their Kinect plugged in why playing Dead Space 3, which comes out on February 5. The rest of us are encouraged to be experimental.

  • That sounds awesome if only it will work properly
  • Seems useless. Just my two cents.

  • Sounds cool, but will it actually work is the question...

  • I swear at all my games, especially when they have accidents on my carpet.

  • Can I yell at the Kinect for reducing Rare to crappy mini-game developer? I know I'd feel better.
  • Let's hope it works. I know my Kinect doesn't like me when I play Skyrim.

  • I wish thy would stop making dead space 3 feel like an ultimate game and just stick to it being a survival horror game. Let's face it, dead space 3 won't sell 5 million, and all this marketing is going to waste.

    Stick to what makes a game good. It's stupid to try and stretch a game series to something it's not... yet ea does it with almost each and every single one of their IP's...

    I hate it...
  • Kinect barely ever works right.....
  • Lol, what, will Isaac parrot what we say?

  • Lol. Not sure if trolling or trolling.

  • Things like this cause the gaming industry to take a step back from its goal toward being a respected media/art form. For reasons such as this, the gaming industry will be criticized as juvenile and worthless, and gamers will still be stereotyped as 30 year old virgins living with their parents still. As long as the game industry keeps putting this crap in games, it will not be respected as the important media/art form that it is.
  • Cool.

  • Not needed but I guess its an interesting thing to add.

  • with kinect support... hmm. who knows what will happen

  • man i never got my kinect to work properly

  • I'm sure the parents will love this feature.
  • wow. Kinect integration keeps getting worse and worse.

  • Eh, I don't swear so this is not very appealing to me.
  • Awesome if it works

  • "why playing Dead Space 3"

    shouldn't that be while?
