Kinect for Skyrim announced as a free update for Xbox 360 users - Polidicks

[quote]Bethesda Softworks announced in a morning press release that The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim will soon be getting a free Xbox 360 update that adds Kinect-powered voice controls to the game. The more than 200 new voice commands cover everything from issuing orders to followers to menu controls to... wait for it... DRAGON SHOUTS. Fus. Ro. DAH! The video above gives you a feel for the full extent of what to expect from this update, which should be coming our way before the close of April 2012. It's a cool add-on for the game, especially since it promises to help Skyrim fans become fluent in the ancient shout-y language of the dragons.[/quote] [url]http://www.g4tv.com/videos/58148/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim-xbox-kinect-features-trailer/[/url]

Hahaha that's awesome, I have a mod for the PC version that does the same thing with mics. :dance:

Pretty sick but the loot all voice command isn't really useful, if anything it slows you down since it just takes a tap of a button

[QUOTE=t h e;35547526]Pretty sick but the loot all voice command isn't really useful, if anything it slows you down since it just takes a tap of a button[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say it will slow you down since you can keep walking backwards and doing spells when you do the voice command.

I'd rather have mounted combat, spears, seasons and giant crabs but whatever, I guess we can just use gimmicks.

i guess this is somewhat cool

[QUOTE=SystemGS;35548187]i guess this is somewhat cool[/QUOTE] It's marginally exciting

[QUOTE=Doomish;35547472]Hahaha that's awesome, I have a mod for the PC version that does the same thing with mics. :dance:[/QUOTE] takes like 5 seconds to respond, but still cool.

I hope it lets you quicksave.

[QUOTE=n0cturni;35548230]I hope it lets you quicksave.[/QUOTE] it does

Microsoft releasing something for free? So many emotions...

The capability is there and now you can do it if you have it. You're actually [I]complaining[/I] that they added this for [I]free[/I] instead of [U]making major changes to the singleplayer experience[/U] for you. Yes sir right away sir sorry sir.

Hmm, using the Kinect with Skyrim might eb interesting I imagine a command saying " XBOX, FUS RO DAH!"

[QUOTE=BCell;35550674]Hmm, using the Kinect with Skyrim might eb interesting I imagine a command saying " XBOX, FUS RO DAH!"[/QUOTE] It's like that, except you don't say "X-Box".

I don't see why they stopped there. Why not just implement the whole peripheral into the game?

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;35547935]I'd rather have mounted combat, spears, seasons and giant crabs but whatever, I guess we can just use gimmicks.[/QUOTE] The technology of the Kinect is in no way a gimmick! It's the shitty games they release for it that is.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;35547935]I'd rather have mounted combat, spears, seasons and giant crabs but whatever, I guess we can just use gimmicks.[/QUOTE] I imagine, since it seems that Bethesda is starting to add some of the material created from their game jam, that the rest of it will eventually be added, especially with the hype that resulted from them showing it. It would be silly for them not to. Probably going to be added with a larger DLC/expansion (alright, that's more hopeful opinion than anything, but who knows.)

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;35547935]I'd rather have mounted combat, spears, seasons and giant crabs but whatever, I guess we can just use gimmicks.[/QUOTE] yeah man how dare they release a [B]!!!FREE!!![/B] update! Bethesda is a fucking [B]GIMMICK!!!![/B]
