Hardcore gamers have consistently criticized Kinect for its gimmicky control scheme and slim potential in ‘real’ games. Although, developers are fighting the hardcore gamer. Halo Anniversary Edition came with voice controls, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will have voice and gesture control, and as demoed by this video, Mass Effect 3 will have voice control. Of course, all of the people in the video absolutely love Kinect’s voice control. But, in just a few short weeks, on February 14th, 2012 to be exact, you’ll be able to download the Mass Effect 3 Demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace (XBLM). Then you can decide for yourself if Mass Effect 3 with its Kinect integration will be your Valentine 🙂 (Video past the break)
