Xbox One Kinect tracks head lean, voice commands in Battlefield 4

4.6
When Battlefield 4 hits the Xbox One, it will bring with it a few new Kinect options that make your own body movements part of the virtual firefight.

Most novel are the device's head-tracking capabilities. According to Polygon, if your Kinect senses your head tilting far enough to the left or right, your in-game character will mirror this action, carefully leaning out of cover to line up a shot (or have his or her fool head blown off). Voice commands are likewise supported, allowing players to call for more ammo, medical assistance or a ride from any characters currently driving a vehicle.

Though the Xbox One (and PS4) iteration of Battlefield 4 launches on November 19, the Xbox One itself won't debut until November 22. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game are currently available.

Shen Don't really see the use in this lol.


It seems like more of an immersion thing then anything. Being able to actually control parts of the gaming using your own commands etc.


its just one simple thing.. just give it a couple years to expand upon. thats why the xbox one will be the better long term console. it has serious potential to revolutionize gaming.

Seems interesting, but really? That's not a great use for a Kinect.

WinsomeSense Maybe Kinect is not that bad actually..


Oh yeah, change your mind when the Kinect does something cool. It was good along. You're just too dumb to realize it hater.


Microsoft would have kept the Kinect mandatory if they didn't have competition like the PS4. Tells you how much Microsoft likes their customers. Bill Gates owns a chunk of Monsanto's which produces (poison) Genetically Modified food. The killers of all killer.
