The news about Kinect functions being used in the Halo CE revamp started to hit sites yesterday. Today we have some news that the Kinect functions in Halo will not touch the gameplay at all and it is optional. Hopefully other game companies will also allow gamers to choose if they want to play with Kinect functions on or off.
From a post at the Halo WayPoint fourms by Jessica Shea, community manager at 343 Industries: “Just to let everybody know, the Kinect features we’re exploring with Halo: Anniversary are optional and won’t affect your core gameplay experience. Our mission, from day one, has been to deliver a faithful recreation of the original game, and we remain dedicated to seeing that through to completion.”
Some thoughts on what Kinect and Halo will have in-store might have to do with menu and theater navigation.
