Whilst i whole heartly agree with most of the posts below stateing that Kentict/Natel has little to offer me personally. I think thats the point from Microsofts POV this isn't being introduced for hardcore gamers, the type of people that post comments on boards about these things, rather the type of people that don't. We already have x-boxs. The real concern is that Microsoft don't do what Nintendo did and forget about the gamers who just want to use there 360 to shoot aliens/zombies/terrorists/mutants and each other in the face.
EA Sports Active 2, Dance Central Kinect-ing
E3 2010: Xbox 360 add-on's launch library boasts 15 titles, including EA's workout sim, Harmonix's exclusive rhythm title, Ubisoft's Your Shape.
LOS ANGELES--Microsoft revealed an Xbox 360 redesign and solidified a Kinect release date this morning at its press briefing, but the news didn't stop there. On top of those information drops, Microsoft announced Kinect's software launch catalog includes 15 titles from big-name studios Harmonix, Electronic Arts, and LucasArts.
At the event, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos took the stage and revealed Dance Central for Kinect. The game is promised to include more than 600 moves, 90 routines, and post-launch downloadable content. Dance Central will include a "wide range" of hip-hop, rap, and R&B and is set to arrive this holiday. Gwen Stefani's "Hella Good," and "Poison" from Bell Biv Devoe were two of the songs used to display the dancing game at the briefing.
Also hitting Kinect this November will be EA Sports Active 2. From Electronic Arts, the fitness simulator includes a heart rate monitor, wireless functionality, and an online hub for tracking digital conditioning data. Additionally, using Kinect's technology, users will be able to navigate onscreen menus via voice and gesture recognition.
Other Kinect titles announced during the company's event included a Star Wars title, Kinectanimals, Kinect Sports, Kinect Adventures, Kinect Joy Ride, Your Shape Fitness Evolved, a Sonic title, Biggest Loser, and others.
