Kinect! It’s the controller-free controller that does quadrotor deathcopters, homemade motion capture studios, disaster management robots, and everything else in between. Except games, anyway.
Since its launch late last year, Kinect’s actual title catalogue hasn’t exactly made news – but apparently that’s all set to change this year, with Microsoft announcing that “the size of the Kinect games portfolio will triple by the end of the year.”
“We’ve seen some of the media start to ask the question, ‘When are we going to see more Kinect games coming?’ As we sat there and looked at it we realized we’ve got a lot of games coming and we’re going to show a lot of them at E3,” Kinect product manager David Dennis told Joystiq.
“We know that the core what took Xbox and made it the home for core games, whether they’re first-party games or third-party games. We would certainly never leave that audience behind.
“It’s about how we go big on any and all: go big on Kinect games; go big on core games.”
Rumours of a Kinect-supported Gears of War game have been prowling the bowl and refusing to flush down for some time now.
