Key voice commands makes certain tasks easier

Speaking during New York Comic-Con, and reported by IGN, 343 Industries have unveiled details of Kinect sensor compatibility with the upcoming Halo remake.

Three specific uses of Kinect's voice recognition capabilities were discussed at the event:

Voice Commands - Allows player to switch between Classic and Remastered graphics, switch weapons, throw grenades and more.

Analyze Mode - Scan items during single-player into an in-game 'library'.. Currently supported are vehicles, characters, enemies and weapons. Players can activate Analyze Mode by saying "scan" whilst holding your reticule on an item.

The Library - The Library mentioned above is a complete database where detailed item info unlocked and earned by the player can be searched and read. Content is accessible via Kinect's gesture recognition.
Microsoft have said before now that whilst Kinect integration may be added into Halo: Anniversary, core gameplay values will remain unaffected by Kinect.

Although I don't see how switching weapons, throwing grenades, or even reloading (which was shown in a video as yelling RELOAD, which was amusing) could be made easier/quicker by using Kinect, seeing as it's only a twitch of the finger to hit the button now, it's cool to see these features added into the game. Switching the graphics mode seems like a perfect fit for Kinect, and the Library looks pretty cool as well.

But of course, someone will comment on how Kinect ruins every game it's placed in roll

It would be cool to see Kinect Voice functions for in-game use, like communicating with allies, etc. Kind of like End War, the voice command was a cool feature, just please no unlockable achievements lol

This sounds quite good. Doesn't seem to be too intrusive to the main gameplay, and The Library addition actually sounds quite interesting. Since Kinect seems to be becoming more integrated into games in a non-stand-up-and-jump-around manner, I'm seriously considering getting one at some point in the future.
Feel free to PM me about the GTA IV walkthrough, or any problems you're having with the game.

So all those people who complained when Kinect was announced for this and said it was only bad because it would give Kinect users a big advantage... where are you now?

Shouting THROW will never be faster that pressing a button.

I DON'T WANT MY BODY TO BE THE CONTROLLER ... when will Microsoft understand that? I've had a controller in my hands since the NES in 85... and still doing fine, I'm all right OK? no need to relax my hands or arms.

Am I the only one who thinks Kinect will slow down good gaming in the next few years ?
