Is Kinect the future of video games? No, no! This is not going to be a huge article where we are going to write endless paragraphs, rather we are going to show you something. See the video above and ask yourself, Is Kinect The Future of Video Games?

Another Ubisoft game, another trailer. This time it’s the launch trailer for Mostionsports which will be released for Kinect. Based on popular sports like soccer and rugby.

Stay tuned with GB for more news and updates.

Kinect is getting launch everywhere so it was obvious that India will see it’s launch too. Again e-express games are at the fore-front providing 4 games for Indian Kinect Owners.

The list includes:

• Fighters Uncaged
• MotionSports
• Your Shape Fitness Evolved
• Sonic Free Riders

The game will be available for 1,299 Rupees. Stay tuned with GamingBolt for news and updates.

7. Boxing

Doing this to your younger brother could be fun.

Let’s face it- the first few games to be squeezed out on Kinect will most likely be total rip-offs of whatever Wii games have been coming out since launch (Kinect Sports, Fitness Evolved, Kinect Adventures), but the recently name-changed Project Natal will offer much more than just waving a stick. The entire body movement, including the agility of the feet and the power of the punch could be calculated for a much more visceral fighting experience.

6. UFC

Doing this to your little brother however, could land you in prison. But it'd still be hilarious.

Actually, lets forget punching. How about full contact, no-holds barred UFC! In all honesty, aside from a few dedicated gamers who find some strange pleasure in it, no one really wants to learn complicated button combinations to pull off grapples and throws. Just let us act them out! It’s faster, easier, and provides many more opportunities for that beautiful Ming vase on your mantle to get broken.

5. Modern RTS

When I clap my hands, my tanks clap you.

While the general ‘user interface’ for Kinect won’t suite games like the Total War series, games such as R.U.S.E and Tom Clancy’s EndWar could certainly make a suitable transition to the no-hands style of Kinect gaming. You never know, maybe it would be like those sci-fi movies where characters just wave their hands about in the air and holographic images do their bidding. Maybe.

4. Splinter Cell

Whether you're Snake or Fisher, breaking bones has never been so satisfying.

Sam Fisher’s unique blend of creeping, crawling and cracking skulls could translate very interestingly to Kinect. Using body movements to snap into cover instead of cumbersome controller-based mechanics would make the experience much more engaging and streamlined.

3. Tactical squad shooters

If only rappelling in Kinect was this fun.

This entire sub-genre is just waiting to be blasted wide open by the Kinect release shotgun. Forget using button combinations to give commands- just raise a clenched fist to halt your squad, point at anything you want dead and watch the limbs fly.

2. Parkour

We're not sure exactly how the Ju-Jitsu would fit in though.

For those of you that don’t know, Parkour is the sport of ‘free running’- using everyday outside objects such as garden walls, roofs, fences and railings to make your very own obstacle course. Think Mirror’s Edge. They could even incorporate all the running into a feel-good exercize game if so inclined.

1. Bioware RPG’s

It'd be pretty fun to thrown your arms about and make your enemies vaporize too.

Bioware are undoubtedly one of the masters of the RPG, and as any good RPG should, they often involve a lot of speech. Kinect has the power the transform the way we view interactions in role playing games; imagine that instead of picking a set response from a drop down list, you could simply say anything, and have the NPC react accordingly.

He said, “There are various technologies involved. Some people are using a skeletal system, and it takes a little bit of time to calculate. It’s only a split second. We’re actually using a different masking system, which can tighten things up.”

“They’ve programmed it a certain way, and they’ll come up with new techniques. There doesn’t need to be a lag. We can get it down to maybe two frames behind, which is pretty insignificant; you won’t notice. We’re just learning new tricks. Ours is pretty tight.”

“If you buy it with the console which normally costs £149.99,  £249.99 with the Kinect and the games – another 100 pound on top.”

“The camera tracks six people – with two active gamers – you don’t have to buy anything else. I’ll let you do the maths but when you say Nintendo Wii or PlayStation Move you buy this and this, even for a two player games. What do you need and what do actually have to spend for a two player game for this device versus that device. You actually find that  is very competitively priced.”

I think he does have a point though, if you are planning to buy a PlayStation Eye, Two wands etc, then the price definitely becomes much more competitive. Hmm, it seems like the “motion” wars are gettingg hot all of a sudden.

“Since then, we’ve been driving awareness of Kinect to our customers in-store and online. We know from their feedback that they are excited about getting their hands on it and what it could do to their gaming experience.  Whether they buy Kinect on its own or as part of the great value bundle, it is going to be on the Holidays lists of both core gamers and families.”

Hmm, we shall know soon enough when we get the hardware and start reviewing games on it.

Stay tuned with GB for more news and updates.

The pricing for the hardware is not yet announced but hopefully we will be able to hear something about it at GamesCom.

“I think these motion controllers have amazing potential for shooters, but perhaps not in the way people might immediately think (i.e. controlling motion),” Wedgwood told CVG.

“Perhaps we’ll think about that in the future, but we don’t have any plans for implementation in Brink.”

CVG speculated Wedgewood could be hinting at using Brink’s SMART system. When asked about the said system, Wedgewood said, “The idea is really straightforward. When you’re in combat and you want to get somewhere in the game world, you hold down your SMART button (which doubles as a sprint button) and it will help with jumps, vaults, mantling, sliding, and so on, allowing you to easily navigate any obstacles in your path.”
