The lights are on
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.

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.
Let's hope it works. I know my Kinect doesn't like me when I play Skyrim.
Lol, what, will Isaac parrot what we say?
Lol. Not sure if trolling or trolling.
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
wow. Kinect integration keeps getting worse and worse.
Awesome if it works
"why playing Dead Space 3"
shouldn't that be while?
