Halo 4 has no Kinect support, thank God!

By now we know that 343 isn’t adding any stupid Kinect support into Halo 4. I’m overjoyed, because Kinect is complete -Yoink-. I had Kinect, it was horrible. I got rid of it around 5 months ago, couldn’t stand it. I’m just very happy that 343 is putting any of that stupid gimmicky junk. Who here agrees?

I don’t have Kinect but if I did I would probably not use it that much.
Except if I wanted to play Skyrim, I can shout at a TV and it reacts!

agreed by far, spend more time on gameplay and tweaks, less on making you throw a grenade because you said grenade

Your very ignorant and close minded the kinect is loved by millions and offers a different playstyle which ultimately increases the 360’s selling power which gives microsoft more money to do great things with xbox live and its key titles LIKE HALO.

You shouldnt bad mouth things that you have a negative opinion on. If you dont like it then just dont like it. Why waste peoples time by posting a whole thread about how much you didnt enjoy kinect?

Lets be hypothetical, lets say 343 did have an OPTIONAL kinect feature like in CEA? something really cool and interactive but you didnt have to use it at all to beat story or compete online? You cant say that the kinect would ruin halo because just like these “perks” everyone is complaining about, 343 has the ability to take a great thing and make it work for halo while still keeping it optional for the hardcore gamers who dont want to be bothered with it.

When will people actually have an open mind -.-

Because then they are taking development time away from the rest of the game for a stupid feature that almost no one can or will use.

I don’t mind kinect however I don’t believe it is right for halo nor do i think 343 should invest resources into kinect integration. Rather, they need to focus on improving the core mechanics so they are deficient in problems. However, if they want to add kinect integration as dlc it wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

Loved by millions? It’s not even loved by thousands.

I didn’t see anything wrong with the kinect stuff in anniversary. Sure I didn’t use it much but it wasn’t hurting anyone by being there.

> I didn’t see anything wrong with the kinect stuff in anniversary. Sure I didn’t use it much but it wasn’t hurting anyone by being there.

It was a feature that should have been available to everyone.

I have a Kinect, but once I used it for scanning in Anniversary, I didn’t touch it again.

Wrong 343 wouldnt just split its man power they would bring in microsoft studios developers to help craft the feature like they did for CEA. I highly doubt 343 has developers fluent with kinect. You should actually do some research instead of assuming like a fool lol.

Oh and i wasnt aware you knew every single halo fan and can prove for a fact that most of them wouldnt welcom an OPTIONAL feature that could make the single player experience more fun.

Lmao like the other ignorant guy, you need to do some research. Microsoft wouldnt be advertising and investing so much into kinect unless it had a powerful fanbase. Its sold well into the millions and keeps going. I would even bet 500$ that the next xbox will have the next “kinect” built into it.

Stop assuming that the xbox is only for hardcore gamers. Microsoft is more open minded than the people that play their console its hilarious lol

More fun lol
Kinect is not fun. It makes you look like an idiot on crack. Yelling -Yoink- at my TV so that i can throw a grenade is pointless. Pressing a button is more precise and faster than this -Yoink-.
So please stop defend that crappy motion control or leave and play ur star wars kinect.
ugh

Thank you for proving my point.

I guess because you disagree with something it must be trash right? because you think it look stupid it must be right? Please use your magical powers to hate cancer and -Yoink!-. Say they are stupid and non existent so they can actually disappear. You seem to have the unique ability to state your opinion as fact and believe it thus lol.

Honestly your not going to live a very fulfilling life if this is how you act toward things and people that dont share your views. But whatever I wont be checking this thread again. you can reply but I wont ever see it so have fun wasting your time :stuck_out_tongue:

You do realize Kinect is just a fad right? Motion gaming was only a trick the gaming industry used to attract casuals, the problem is that when they get bored out of it, game companies have to turn to try selling it to gamers who hate it, which as you guessed doesn’t work well.

Sorry, but I won’t accept having a purple bar on my game case telling me that I can joyfully say 20 phrases out loud.

Kinect and Halo don’t mix. I personally only use kinect as a cheap mo-cap device.

If you didn’t have a kinect you weren’t missing much so how is it a big deal? I don’t think people didn’t play anniversary just because they couldn’t use the kinect features. It was just a little something cool if you had one.

I agree with Tsumiya. You’re very selfish and close-minded to think like that. Don’t assume EVERYONE doesn’t like the Kinect. I do, and I would troll and scare the crap out of my friends by saying “Grenade” and having them dance to my exploding orbs of doom.

Besides, even if there was Kinect support for Halo 4, no one’s forcing you to use it. So ignore it. I find it funny that a piece of hardware is -Yoink!- you off! XD

I rather liked the analyze features in Anniversary.

And it’s the little stuff like that that games sometimes do that keeps me from selling my dust collector known as “Kinect”.
