how come noone has mentioned the idea for beth to be using kinect for skyrim yet! i think beth should take full avantage of using new technology as a way to immerse the player deeper into the exerpience. hacking and slashing for the combat would be greatly improved with the ability to use motion capture technology!! i want to really FEEL like im slashing a npc in half with my ax by actually having to use my hands! the door would opened to soo many more possibilties for activities like playing hockey on the frozen lakes, there could even be a league with teams for each race! something similar to the controls for nhl slapshot for the wii, with its own periphral controller! maybe they could bring back the action points system form fall out 3 to charge a vats-like slapshot! doesn't anyone else think the kinect could be used to make skyrim more imersive?

No.

Edit: NOOOO! Your idea is ridiculous.
Kinect is raw technology, just out of the planning stages. It has not been refined yet, and IMO wouldn't even work for a game like TES, since most Kinect games right now are "on-rails"

Be prepared for a lot of "NOOOOO!"s and people saying that your idea is ridiculous.

:facepalm: I sincerely hope that this is sarcastic.

No.

This idea is ridiculous, why? Kinect is the most stupid thing that ever happened to video-games, the only thing that I love about it are the crazy things hackers are doing with it. It's a cool tech, but does it work for games? No!

Also, you are requesting Bethesda to use VATS and Action Points in an ELDER SCROLLS game? I hate you. :meh:
What? Hockey in Skyrim? Multiplayer leagues? What the heeeeell?

I'd feel like a bit of a plonker really.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa... no.

GOD NO..... the kinect is a failed attempt at grabbin the wii fans.

Head tracking would be the only use with kinect but even then I dont want the developers to spend resources on that

Not in TES where you run 24/7 for the sake of the Nine!
You have any idea how exhausting that would be!?

And if Skyrim would be able to work with Kinect... I think it require A LOT of work. Would take at least one more year after 11/11 I believe...

not around were i live, alot of people at school have kinects and love them!! it could draw alot more people in to the series.

Its too early for this group of people, I personally think it'll be much more popular to use for games like these in a couple years. Not the right crowd yet, but it'll come to that day eventually but I really think that its not practical right now. Even for this game. To add on: When the game comes out, Kinect-hackers will be all over it...

This... and Wayne Gretzky hockey 2011: SKYRIM

I'm a prophet.

Anyway, the Kinect is for party games and such. The best games on the Wii were the ones that didn't use the motion tech. The same will be true for the 360.

Because the person who started the thread nearly a month ago used Kinect's "during development" name of Natal when they made the thread: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1151774-natal-use/

Please do note the poll results.

True that.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the unrealisticism of this topic is verging on trolling.

Ahhh, his names Crosby, of course this is about hockey.

God no and for the fact that you suggest ice hockey in a TES game deserves a :facepalm:

I am waiting for OP's response.

Setting aside the fact the OP's idea is completely ridiculous for second... lets simply talk about why Kinect support for Skyrim is not going to happen.

I have nothing against the Kinect really. Its sorta neat, and hopefully just a stepping stone to far more advanced interactive gaming. However, its built for very very specific types of games... like playing dodge ball, dancing, and exercising. You will never see a Kinect enabled Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, or... Elder Scrolls. Why? Because Kinect does not work very well unless your character is all but locked in place, or "on rails". If you have to move around the world yourself, how exactly do you plan to do that? Sure you could use the Kinect with a controller in your hand, but then when you go to fight that will feel very strange (not to mention your going to throw your controller through your TV).

Thats not even getting into the fact Skyrim is not a 360 exclusive, and Bethesda isn't going to spend a whole lot of development time adding a feature that is targeted for a small group of gamers, on only one platform. There is no business sense there.

Oh great. So the game would require even more gear beyond a powerful PC? Bad for accessability.

i thought it would be a good idea guys i don't understand why so many people are jumping on the idea. and is hockey any less realistic than havin to farm or cut wood??

Yeah, because flailing about your house is such technological advancement.
No, If you want to run around, and make sword swinging gestures, go outside.

No.

Do not waste resources on something so stupid. Kinect is for "Fun", not for serious RPG's which I hope Skyrim is.

it would be cool but wont happen needs to be better
