First PC game supporting Microsoft Kinect is confirmed

Published on 12-26-2010 02:19 PM

Though there’s speculation that Microsoft will eventually provide Windows support for its Kinect hands-free control system for the Xbox 360, it seems like everybody is jumping the gun. Hackers have made it work with PCs almost from its launch, and now a Korean PC game developer is claiming its new title will support Kinect.
GamePrix told IncGamers that its game Divine Soul will include support for Kinect for its combat mode. The company also says that “there are many [PC] game companies that are trying to apply for this system.”

Questions abound concerning the announcement, including why GamePrix is divulging Kinect support when no other PC game company has, and does this mean an announcement about official Windows support for Kinect is coming sooner than later. Or is GamePrix just building support into its game and hoping that hackers take care of the rest? Maybe next month’s CES will provide a more definitive answer.

I don't play games online and it sounds to me like it's an online game. When playing online does the server differentiate betweem keyboard and XBox360 controller players? and would one or the other have an advantage if paired against the other. I would think that a Kinects user would be quicker to the punch than an XBox360 controller user and the keyboard would be a disadvantage unless you were realy good at it. I suppose it would depend on the type of game.

That would just push more people to buy the kinect if that were the case.

Hackers just written a driver to get data from the thing, you still need shitload of coding to play games with it. Specially to analyse physical movement
