It is official, Kinect is getting its very first FPS (first person shooter) title, Heavy Fire: Afghanistan. According to Kinectaku.com, the developer has confirmed the title as a multi-platform game which will be featuring the Kinect controller-less as well.
However, much of the details are not released yet such as how the player is going to move about in the battlefield and how the shooting system is going to work.
Not too long ago, a guy demonstrated the possibility of playing FPS with a Kinect sensor coupled with a Wiimote.
Personally, I see that Kinect’s ability is undermined in that demo as there is much more Kinect can do other than using it for simple in-game action such as leaning.
We shall wait eagerly for more information on this new game before we can comment more on the feasibility of a FPS on Kinect.
Let’s just hope it is not something like what we see in the video below!
