Halo Anniversary Will Support Kinect
Microsoft used its E3 presentation to push Kinect, showing support for the motion-sensing device in upcoming games such as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Fable: The Journey. Curiously, the company didn't bother announcing that the HD remake for one of the biggest Xbox games ever would utilize Kinect.
Phil Spencer, general manager of Microsoft Game Studios, revealed the nugget in an interview with GameSpot. "As a first party, we believe that Kinect will be important to all genres of games, be it racing games with Forza, combat games like Ryse – even games like Halo Anniversary have Kinect integration."
Spencer didn't explain how exactly Kinect would be supported in the game. Will we be able to toss grenades by whipping our arms into the air? Could it be something more mundane, like letting Kinect players shed their headsets and talk to buddies with the unit's built-in mics? However it's incorporated in the game, please don't let us take control of Master Chief's during cutscenes. We can't be trusted with that kind of responsibility.
