Battlefield 4 will support Kinect on Xbox One
In an interview in the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, DICE vice president Magnus Troedsson confirmed plans to offer Kinect support, although it won't take the form of motion control.
"Input is really important," Troedsson replied. "You need to have very precise control over what's going on and trying to do something like that with motion control input does not make sense - not if you want to keep the same kind of formula of the game as we [have] now. You'd need to build a different kind of shooter.
"But there are other places where it will make sense, and we are going to use it for other things in the game, but we haven't announced exactly what."
In April, DICE executive producer Patrick Bach said Battlefield 4 would be avoiding 'gimmicks like motion control', saying: "We are extremely open to innovation, but if it's a gimmick, there's no point unless it adds value to the player."
Elsewhere in the Game Informer interview, Troedsson was asked if multiplayer-heavy FPS games still need single-player campaigns. "We're very passionate about building single player," he replied. "We like it personally as game developers. We find it intriguing to get better at it in every game we do.
"We also see that there are a lot of people who like to play single player, especially people that come to us and say that they enjoy preparing for multiplayer by playing some single player to catch up.
"But, with that said, [...] the current scope of single-player campaigns are growing immensely. It's a big investment. There's a lot of time, there's a lot of people etc. So we have to see what happens in the future."
Publisher EA has confirmed a Battlefield 4 release date of October 29 in the US and November 1 in the UK on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Next-gen versions will be out "this holiday".

VisionaryMGMT I mean, I could maybe see using a tablet to control maybe a TV missile or something, but this?
That would be sick.

RATFDubleJayJohLuciiidGossip POINTLESS. Kinect is garbage.
Whoa! Didn't know you already had the new Kinect 2.0... incredible.
Why do you say its garbage and you have ABSOLUTELY no idea how it will turn out to be.
Exactly. Neither do you.
Kinect is terrible all together though
Some of the Kinect games are fun.

ShadowBoltDashieEvendaw Sounds interesting. Imagine how the controls would be like ...
The same as they always have been.. Why would they change the controls?
If they are adding Kinect support, they will add different control commands for the people who want to use the Kinect.
I don't think you've played games with voice Kinect support. The controlls are 100% the same, but you can do some of the commands like reload or throw a grenade with your voice as well, except those parts are pointless since they slow you down. Check out Halo CEA, they have Kinect support that's really cool. You could use it to analyze friendlies, enemies, weapons, and vehicles, and supply it with information you could read up on later. I imagine that you could make use of it for spotting in BF4 or signaling your teammates for help.
