Microsoft Owns Kinect Halo Domain Name
According to a WhoIs profile search, Microsoft bought the rights to the website KinectHalo.com. Does this mean the next Halo will be motion controlled?
Gamrfeed did some domain name trolling to come up with this discovery. According to the domain records, Microsoft bought this all the way back June of last year and have been keeping the dirty secret all this time.
Could this be a full Kinect-controlled Halo shooter or some smaller offshoot? Is it the next big entry in the Halo series from 343 Industries or perhaps a more experimental project from another in-house studio like Rare, which has had a lot of experience with Kinect? Or could Microsoft have just purchased the domain name in case they ever want to use it in the far future, with no project planned right now?
What would you like to see if this project becomes a reality?
