Sorry MS but a Halo Or Gears kinect title isn't really a big seller for the device if you ask me.
Unless it's something unique and well done.
A rails shooter or something? No thanks.

I just don't see how you can translate core gaming onto Kinect without the use of a regular controller. Everything would have to be on-rails or heavily scripted.
I just want Halo: Interdimensional Soda Bread or whatever the 4th one will be called.
Not a big kinect fan ( yet )

Someone more creative than me might be able to come up with something compelling, but I'm curious at the very least.
@ lokhe
My thoughts exactly. If they're making anything Halo-based, it'd better be the rumored Halo: CE remake.

I feel like "core" is just a buzz word devs like to throw around, and nobody really knows what it means.
If by "core", they mean "fun", "depth", and "precise and efficient control scheme", then I'm behind that.

@yenner AGREED. Kinect needs to release a game that interests me. I don't feel like dancing in my basement and playing with fake animals. Honestly, I would MAYBE jump aboard if they made a NON RAIL decent shooter. maybe...
Hey, why not use both Kinect and a controller? As long as they both work I don't see how it could go wrong.
They've got their work cut out for them. I don't see how Kinect can translate into a core title, but I'm sure these guys have devoted a lot of time and energy to doing just that. This might turn out to be a big deal; If they can't deliver a title that appeals to gamers, then gamers might very well decide that it can't be done, and give up on the platform.
I'm anticipating something like Halo Rangers, with little super-deformed Halo characters running around looking cute. Might as well use Halo brand recognition to target children, then they'll already be hooked by the time they get a hold of the big boy games.

On-Rails Halo shooter at BEST.
Crappy, shitty, unwanted motion-controlled game at WORST.
Yeah, this is really what the Halo IP needs after Reach.
Yeah.

I hate it when the use the word "core" it sounds so smug,
I respect the Kinect, but I don't think it can pull this off. I'd like to be proven wrong though

Until I see a good kinect IP, I won't hold my breath for this. Anyone worth their salt knows that only the indie guys are doing anything worthwhile with it. MS needs to get with them to build a game that's not just another on-rails shooter but something that actually utilizes the peripheral well.
i love how people bash the game when they hear it will use Kinect.
yeah, let's forget what MS said about hybrid games combining Kinect controls and classic controller.
let's forget that hybrid games are already in development and will be released this year(Steel Battalion 3, Forza 4 etc.).

I don't see this going over all that well with the "core" audience. Kinect is perfect for the "casuals" and that is really where they should focus their efforts. Everyone who likes shooters on the 360 does so in large part due to the 360's controller.
Destructoid user: "I can't think of any real use for Kinect so there must not be one"
Game Developers: "STFU!"
Just because you, the game player, can't come up with good uses for a Kinect shooter doesn't mean the people making a living developing these things can't. Enough with this 'bash it before we know any details' bullshit that seems to run rampant here lately, its quite childish.

Why the fuck do all these developers think motion controlling is the direction we need to head in? The controls are always a little loose at best. I liked the way videogames used to progress... You know, better graphics and more innovative gameplay as the years passed. It honestly feels like we're moving backwards.

When I saw the site layout, I just can't but actually know their making a Halo game for Kinect since the web page has too much of a halo feeling. Just me though. I don't feel all too excited by a new Halo nor a new FPS either way. Too much FPS have been coming out that are too similar it's hard to feel any excitement now, and Halo is just a franchise I've grown tired of since H2.
@Warzombie
If it's coming for the Kinect then I hope it is NOT the Halo CE remake :p The only possibly awesome thing I can come to think of is if you had to flail your arms around to throw grenades ^_^
