Don’t get ‘hyper-excited’ over Kinect features in Halo

4.7
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will make use of Kinect, though we're not sure on how — or even why — just yet. Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor is playing sensor controls down though, saying they're nothing to get "hyper-excited" about.
Speaking to OXM, O'Connor said there's currently no date for when we'll hear more about what the sensor brings to Halo's 10th anniversary resurrection, but had this to say:
I don't think it's going to be something that people need to be hyper-excited about. It'll be cool, but it's not something you'd put on the front of the box. I don't want to downplay it, but I think of it like this - I use voice on Netflix and it's awesome, and that's what this'll be. Something that enhances you overall experience.
Presumably the feature will be on the front of the box in the familiar purple form of the "Better with Kinect Sensor" stripe. Or perhaps not? We'll have to wait a little longer to find out.

EChondo Kinect is going to die out by next year, 3D movies as well.

Kinect, overall, is useless and takes the fun out of gaming, if I wanted to swing my arms around and cut fruit in the air I would do that in real life.

Useless stuff is useless.

Motion controlled things normally take more effort even though they were designed to make life easier.
Also 3-D will pick up in the next few years, they just need to make it viewable without the glasses.
THEN and ONLY THEN will I start seeing 3-D films.

I personally think it be kind of annoying. Like going prone or crouching, sprinting, and turning around i think would be a hassle.

The only thing Kinect was good for was Kinectimals. Which I sadly never got ;[ I wanted it so badly. I don't care how homosexual that sounds.

I agree. 3D movies suck, and Kinects just don't have many hardcore games, therefore, only good for a month or two. Voice controls are really useful though, which im guessing is in the game. Heck, I'm surprised Blu Ray movies lasted this long.
