I was sitting in my office thinking of what might be new in ME3 and kinect hit my mind.
Really the only think I could think of was for biotics because you could do a hand motion to activate a power.
What do you all think?
Kinect support for Mass Effect 3?

Honestly I think its a dreadful idea for Mass Effect. Maybe Star Wars.

why and how exactly would Motion Capture work on a RPG styled game like ME?

With all respect, I hope not. Even I am a PC player with no kinnect support, there is other thing - I just can't imagine myself jumping like a monkey in front of TV during the ME3:))))) A little bit humiliating, don't you think?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I have xbox, but it is not the paltform of my choice to play ME, just not.
Remember that ME if for 3 platforms now - PS3, PC and xbox. Creating strange controls would not be good thing.

It'd be nice to have two options, control with controller or control with kinect. I think you guys don't give it enough credit there are some people who have created realistic control schemes for FPS games like COD or L4D2, one made his own program to do it and he does everything (looking, shooting) with one hand.

Here's hoping that gimmicky crap phases out sooner than later.

I would want Kinect or Move or whatever in ME3 about as much as I need a hole in my head. Which if it is unclear...Not. At. All.
The developers should spend the money on content, story, etc, not gimmicky devices that have no place in this series.

Having played with this myself for a bit in order to test Kinect as an input device to control a toy car I have to say that Motion Controls have many issues that make them virtually useless as sole input device. Doing something supportive like activating your biotics or controlling the interrupts could work but even then the kinect might have difficulties detecting whether you're trying to use Singularity or Warp or just scratching your head. You also get tiered/annoyed by them very quickly. It is also more inconvenient to make a gesture instead of simply pressing one or two buttons.
The conclusion I reached after the project was that motion controls only work over a short period of time in an environment that doesn't have too many input possiblities. Translated to games that would mean minigames such as hacking, planet scanning or something like that that has been made with motion control support in mind.
Maybe Kinect could also track something passive while you play like your facial expressions to influence the dialogue options, but that's technically impossible I think and also a bad idea since players would probably have to constantly make faces...
So:
As an alternative control for minigames - OK
everything else - please no

lol, I can see it now. Some stranger walks past your house, takes a gander into your living room and sees some headcase charging toward his TV.

I can see that now. People crashing through expensive TVs, vaulting over their couches and whatnot and smacking and backhanding each other silly while trying to simulate Throw and Slam. Hehe. They've already got that wiihaveaproblem.com site for overzealous Wii users. One more site won't hurt. Much

i'd rather them focus on making the game epic, focus on what more to add into the story, into the lore, focus on making it real polished as to leave a lasting impression which the mass effect series already had started and hopefully retain. this game, this series has the potential to be one of the greatest even after it has ended and i'd hate to see it sell out to capitalism/consumerism... focus on the story, focus on the gameplay - please, no transparent gimicks....

Maybe the Collectors edition of ME3 would come with a chest high wall that you bolt into your floor, and you pop in and out of cover via kinect.

I could only see Kinect being used for facial recognition.. But I don't think it's capable of doing anything like that.

I think it might work well with the move seeing as the Playstation Move is really a complete copy almost of the Wii remote. But for the Kinect it would seem the game would need to be directly made for that device to have any hope of working. Xbox360 disc arent as big as Blu ray disc, Playstation has already said there is enough room on that disc to fit a PS3 game on there twice.

Again, I think Kinect is better away from this game...FAR away.

Me and motion controllers have an agreement. They stay away from the games I love, and I don't kill their relatives in an orgy of flame and violence.
It's a very amicable agreement.
