Could a system like Kinect revolutionize MMOs?

Actually, what in my mind would revolutionize all RPGs would be a sound system that could do "full range human speech" from scripted text. In other words, have a system that allows voices to be as realistic and generated dynamically as we have video.

This would:
  • lessen the time-to-produce (and perhaps cost) of games
  • Make it less onerous to produce many more options/branches to content
  • Perhaps even have a chat-to-voice system for RPers

Kinect, no, not so much.

Kinect belongs in MMOs about as much as R.O.B. and the Powerglove. The older I get, the less I feel like dancing around like a fool in order to play my games. Warioware got real old, real fast at our weekly social gatherings.

I know Microsoft wants to get us one step closer to a holodeck with this new Kinect, but I think I'll just point and laugh at the YouTube videos of people using it in the meantime.

SOE does this already in EQ2. Seems a bit gimmicky if you ask me...

Again, not once did I suggest people should get up out their seats in my original text. I've edited it to clarify this.

I'm sure it could make them awful. If you meant revolutionize them in a good way, then no.

exactly. Wii's motion controls were a gimick and fun for a bit as something new.

Kinect and everything that's been attached to it is stupid..and now Micro$uck is forcing it on people by having it IN their next console.

not interested in Kinect in the slightest or any motion controls.

I've been gaming since atari/coleco days...and I'm 37...if Motion control is the future of gaming...I'll be done with it.

Kinect sucks...those color wands Sony put out suck (which is why you never even hear about them anymore)...and I, in NO WAY, want that garbage on my PC, much less in my MMO's (or any game for that matter)
