'Halo Anniversary has Kinect integration,' says Microsoft Studios' chief
Attachment 1392
When Microsoft registered KinectHalo.com, we all imagined an intense cardio jumping routine punctuated by occasional cries of "Energy sword ON!"
Quote:
While we hope that prototype still exists somewhere in Redmond, it seems like Kinect functionality in Halo won't be as intrusive as we imagined. Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer told GameSpot, "As a first party we believe that Kinect will be important to all genres of games [...] even games like
Halo Anniversary has [sic] Kinect integration."
Of course, this is the same
Halo Anniversary that we
first broke news of way back in February, and
previewed at E3 this month. Notably, Kinect functionality was never mentioned (or showed) leaving us to speculate on what kind of integration the update has. With games like
Forza Motorsport 4,
Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and
Mass Effect 3 going for a "Better with Kinect" strategy, that's as likely a scenario as any. And it's also the kind of non-intrusive, level-headed implementation we were worried they'd settle for.
