Quote:USA Today just leaked the name of Microsoft's Project Natal motion control setup: Kinect. Microsoft was apparently planning on revealing these details tonight at a pre-E3 shindig, but the leaks got the better of them (including an Italian ad that also mentions the Kinect brand). There's still no word on price or release date, but hopefully we'll be hearing about that later this week. The USA Today writeup also mentions a few titles, including Kinectimals, Joyride, Kinect Sports, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central, and properties based on Star Wars and Disney characters.
There is no way I won't have one of these on preorder even before seeing this, but man that Star Wars mention is making me think of some pretty f'n awesome things that could be done.
Also on a podcast many thousand moons ago, Brent (
virginworlds), Rot and I discussed a future in MMOs where physical might play a part in spellcasting, fighting etc. If I remember right I had predicted 10 years out. I am glad that I will probably be proven incorrect within a year or two?
