Yay for inaccurate reporting summaries

Ditched for launch but not ditched entirely, the summary is quite misleading

Yeah but it was kind of obvious that they weren't going with Kinect for F3 as it's also coming out on PC format, which Kinect doesn't support. Looks like they just want a wider market which is fair enough...

Peter Molyneux has always been one of my favourite game creators because of the amount of passion he has for what he does. At times he has over stretched and I couldnt help feeling the kinnect stuff he was trying to add whilst sounded cool would be a bit much so its good they have pulled back on it for now

Maybe it's too many late night Crackdown2 sessions, but I thought that Kinect+FableIII sounded kind of cool. I liked the idea of perhaps being able to cast spells by doing certain arm/hand gestures*, and I guess the same goes for shooting (although I'd have some concerns that the Kinect's precision would be good enough for the shot to be accurate enough).

(* no crude jokes at my expense please, I was thinking of the kind of things they were showing in the trailer for the film The Sorcerer's Apprentice).

Kinect and Sony's move are just a new eye toy. Mybe a bit echanced version!

Unless they have improved it Move is a pile of steaming dog dodo
