Forza Motorsport 4 - Does Head Tracking, Hands at 10 and 2 Kinect Support Grab You?


Kotaku received a survey from an anonymous tipster, that asked for respondents' reactions to certain statements of upcoming features for Forza Motorsport 4, including head tracking and holding your hands at 10 and 2 with Kinect support.

Does this new control scheme interest you at all? I'll stick to a wheel, but the head tracking sounds very interesting. It will probably take some time to get used to, since you'll need to turn your head, while keeping your eyes straight ahead.

I think this is an awful idea. Kinect is a gimmick. Stop wasting time developing a gimmicky control scheme and make a better game.

it sounds interesting and terrible at the same time.. weird. it's like i'm oddly drawn to the possibility of it working decent but the smart side of my brain laughs at me and says "you idiot, this is a REAL racing game, not some kiddie wii game." so yeah.. No.

I just don't see how it could be a long term control option with Forza's physics engine. Heck, I wouldn't even want to play Mario Kart without a physical controller in my hand.

Forza is forgiving, but you still have to make precise turns and take perfect lines to compete on the Hard difficulty and/or online. I just don't see how that could ever translate with a Thin-Air control scheme.

I think it is a shame that they are working on this and generating more car porn. I want less cars, tighter physics and more balance!

Turning my head while keeping my eyes straight ahead? Are they serious with this? LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

It would be great if I could have my steering wheel hooked up and could lean left or right. Kinect picks my lean up and I lean left or right, or look left or right in the dashcam view.
