Kinect is one of the most exciting gaming systems to come out since the original Xbox. I think it’s only fair to talk about some of the upcoming Kinect games that have been announced for the 2012 gaming year.
Upcoming Kinect Games:
There were a lot of exciting announcements at this past E3 conference. One of the best kinect games that were demo’d was Star Wars Kinect. This game is going so far the closest gamers will get to feeling like a real Jedi.
Through hand motions and voice activation you can turn on and shut off your light saber. Use both hands to force lift objects from your path and step forward for motions like force speed. It’s supposed to be released in April 2012.
In the fitness category for upcoming Kinect games is Zumba Fitness. If you are into fitness and more importantly Zumba, you’ll appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this game. All of the instructors have been motion captured in the studio.
Their bodies and facial features have been rigorously scanned and recorded for accuracy. I think this will be the closest people will come to live Zumba in the gaming world.
Upcoming Kinect Games:
Another one of the upcoming Kinect games that I’m looking forward to is Fable the Journey. Sitting in a chair you can place your hand on the reins of your horse. Use one hand to conjure magic, and attack enemies.
Stand up to dismount and you can use a sword, or attack with your hands. Through some advances hand motions you can conjure some pretty advance magic features.
Kinect has really captured the gaming world by storm allowing for video game franchises to grow in ways unheard of. Are you ready for this? Minecraft is coming to Kinect! If you are into the Indy game scene you can be excited that this popular Indy game will be making an appearance sometime early 2012.
Finally Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon. This game is going to allow some features never before heard of in the gaming community. All of the gun components can be dismantled and shared between any gun.
So if you like a particular scope but it’s not available on your favorite gun, in this game it will be. You can use hand or voice commands and using one hand to aim, you use the other to shoot by opening and closing the other hand. The accuracy looks amazing.
Keep an eye out for these amazing upcoming Kinect games and be sure to comment on your experiences with them.
