Gaming fans who have been closely following Microsoft’s “Project Natal” might have heard it was recently given an official name – Xbox Kinect. This is really a new development from Microsoft which will introduce a entire new level of gaming for all Xbox users. This console will use a revolutionary 3D camera and gesture recognition software which will transport gamers into an innovative gaming globe, by mimicking their physical actions within the real world, which will then transport right in to the game. Now, gaming will need not only your fingers and eyes, but your entire body’s movement and groove. Microsoft made this official annoucement at the Kinect’s Debut in E3 Los Angeles.
Microsoft won’t say much else about the gadget, which is believed to become a smart marketing move so that fans of the Xbox 360 and other consoles will be left wanting much more. What they did tell the public was that the Xbox Kinect is purely a gadget which will merely plug into an Xbox. This really is certainly good news for those who currently have the current Xbox but is bad news for those who don’t as it will neccessitate spending much more on purchasing the Xbox too.
Although a specific price was not provided, analysts estimate that the Xbox Kinect will be released within the price range of close to 50$-200$. Executives from gaming companies have also shared that an approximate number of 15 titles will be obtainable upon the release of the game come this November.
If you are thinking that the Kinect is likely to be just another Wii, then you are dead wrong. The video game industry is very excited about the launch of the Kinect – with various game manufacturers currently having numerous games within the works.
No further details were released, because it seems like everybody is determined to keep it hush-hush. Should you want to know much more, then you will just have to stay tuned as we supply you with more up to the moment details on the Xbox Kinect.
