Mass Effect 3 Kinect support listed on EA Store
Mass Effect 3 is "better with Kinect sensor." At least, according to a pulled image from the EA Store.
Will Mass Effect 3 use Kinect's futuristic motion-sensing technology? Box art placed on the EA Store shows a "Better with Kinect" banner above Shepard's intimidating visage. The image has been subsequently removed from the Store, but not before NeoGAF could save it. While this would be a relatively easy Photoshop prank for an internet prankster to pull off, Destructoid notes that the image still lives on EA's servers.
EA has yet to confirm or deny Kinect support for Mass Effect 3. However, this isn't the first time the EA Store has accidentally leaked information about the finale of BioWare's space opera. The first details of the game were described by the Store well before its official VGA debut.
Given Mass Effect 3's button-heavy gameplay, it's likely that any Kinect support the game features (if any) will be minimal. Perhaps you'll be able to navigate the map using hand gestures? Or maybe the Xbox version will include a special Kinect-exclusive mini-game: Elcor Dance Dance Revolution.

welp....there goes ME

Way to go EA, you may have just killed Bioware.

Some of you guys never cease to amaze me with the knee jerk idiocy. Why would I want an RPG with face, voice and gesture recognition in addition to what I already have? God that sounds terrible. gg EA preorder cancelled. Christ.

What are us PC gamers going to do?

I have a Kinect.
I'm pretty sure it's not officially PC compatible yet.-
I'm pretty sure that it is.

not reading your own links is awesome :)

SDK isn't out yet and since the initial announcement there hasn't been any more info.

bitch and moan incessantly would be my guess
-
-
oh ok. Whining about a feature that makes the game 'better' that uses a device that isn't officially supported on PC is not ok, gotcha.
-
-
I hope it's the only way to throw Biotics
-
-
Should we bitch in every CoD thread about no mouse support in the console versions?
-

Because this is the internet, where everything is always bad news.

It seems really good for an RPG. If you think about it a controller with triggers is better for things like shooting. But controllers that shoot well don't do much good for interacting with a world or other people and characters. You need some other type of input device to do some new cool stuff. In an RPG if you lie to someone your facial expression could play a part in convincing this other character instead of just using a dpad or keyboard to pick from a list.

c'mon derelict515, you know that every minute spent on Kinect support is one less spent on RPG mechanics. ZERO SUM, WE ALL LOSE.

Wow I'm surprised at the hate here, the kinect support will almost definitely be optional and who knows BioWare has some smart people working for it so we might just see some crazy unexpected innovations maybe another unique new conversation system... Anyway it’s just going to be an addition so no big deal really (though I would like to play through the game in kinect mode just for a laugh!).

One part of me is happy, as I own EA stock and it has been going up for the past few weeks, the other part of me is sobbing knowing that they faceplanting Shepard into the Kinect sensor bar.
-
-
Fuck yes. We at least need the option:(

Everyone knows maleshep is the official Shepard. Femshep, hot though she may be, is from some parallel, alternate universe.

Real Shepard is not amused at you all. http://www.jumperus.com/RealShepard/RealShepard3.jpg

i'd pay an extra $20

Could be cool, but of course you'll still be able to play with a controller if it's not. Man you guys gets your panties in a bunch over nothing!
-
You are the Mass Effect.
-
-
you got all that from the box art?
-
That's one of the skills of a Box Elder.

What's amazing is that you can just wak outside and start doing that right now. No cost.

"Squadmate #1, attack! Squadmate #2, defend!"
"Yes, Commander." "I'm on it, Commander."
"I'm dying! I'm dying! Help meeee..."
"Commander, I didn't understand the command? Did you say... abandon you and watch you die? On it, Commander."
