Forza Kinect in development

[luke_c]

Microsoft has just announced that a new Kinect compatiable Forza game is in development.

The game runs at 60 FPS and is controlled by steering with your hands and also allows you to move your head around to check out the car interior.

It looks awesome.

More soon.

nice, I love the way how "forza kinect" sounds like a make of car

what the F, they showed 2 car games and didn't explain how to accelerate/brake (the kart game she did use voice command to boost and I think to drift) ARE THEY GONNA NEED TO USE VOICE COMMANDS ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

keep in mind the MS guy was very intent on boasting the controller-free aspect, so do you think there will be no pedal controller addon ?

also, even if it will somehow measure your foot using an invisible pedal, wouldn't that get uncomfortable constantly manipulating your foot without it resting on a physical pedal ?

I had to get high and think about it for a minute but I bet breaking and and accelerating will be done by moving your invisible wheel forward and backward. Shifting ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

and also allows you to move your head around to check out the car interior.

This would work....if you had a VR headset on. But with a TV/monitor/etc fixed in one spot, you're bound to get a headache with moving your head around but having to fix your eyes in one direction. Counterintuitive if you ask me.

I thought this was just going to be an update to the Forza 3 game,

Might have to get this, as long as the accelerating and braking isn't completely automated or anything shitty.
It would be cool if you sit in your chair in view of the camera and the brake and accelerate and clutch is activated by virtual pedals and a gearstick is to your left/right depending on preference

Will buy if this is the case... a long with that star wars cos that looks BADASS
