Imagine the new possibilities the new Xbox 360 Kinect will have on the future of games. Yes the wii was first to do this but Microsoft has taken it to an entirely new level of interactivity. It is almost as though they have launched a new system. So a friend and I were discussing how would sports games be changed with the Kinect and more specifically how would a game of Madden be played?
Being the quarterback would be simple and fun to implement but once the ball has been passed to another teammate would the controls be switched over? It would be the most logical that who ever is the last to hold the ball will now be controlled. Ok, well that seems to work well with offense but how about defense. Will the camera angle switch over so that now you can see the quarterbacks face while you rush him. That would be awesome wouldn’t it? Who will you choose to be on defense and how will you choose them will be the issue. Lets assume the QB gets the pass off while you are in defense, if the camera rotates back to default it might make a player dizzy in addition to that how will you choose a player to tackle. It looks like Microsoft and developers have some challenges ahead of them regarding what type of games the kinect will be able to handle.
We all know the Xbox 360 as a hardcore gamers console so if the kinect will only allow casual games then the hardcore gamers will feel a little abandoned. Perhaps this is there plan to broaden the spectrum of games the xbox is known for. If you asked me its pretty much a 1st person shooter console. The vast majority of the games are in this genre, so in my opinion a new set of games is a much needed refresh. I am excited to see what types of innovative games we will see from Microsoft in the coming year.
When will Madden come out on the Kinect system?
XBox live would be simple because the players would should see the view depending on what the view is and before the play starts you might have to pick a player and stick with them for simplicity sake. But that would be just like being a player in a game you can’t control what your teammates do on the field
Let me rephrase in english:
XBox live would be simple because the players would should see the view depending on what side of the ball they are playing on (offense or defense) and before the play starts you might have to pick a player and stick with them for simplicity sake(mainly defense). That would be just like being a player in a game you can’t control what your teammates do on the field
Maddel 13 will be good for the kinect you can pick a player and play with him for a number of sacks
