That was amazing. I'll still never buy a kinect, but now I'd accept one as a gift. I wanted to see him voice a dragon shout. That'd sell me on it instantly.
thats... actually a pretty cool and inventive use for kinect. if that thing were a little beefier and capable of 1:1 response i would probably go out and buy it right now. as it stands, its like the wii in its infant days. ill pass until the hardware gets a little more refined than it is.
but i always find it funny that the mod community does such a good job on improving the hardware/software of developers who gait paid moneez to make this shit.
fus ro dah!

That is pretty sick actually! I mean for one, he actually improved the interface - I mean "shield!" or "double flame!" is hell of a lot better than "bring up favourites, search for flame spell, remember you didn't assign it to favourites, quit favourites, bring up spells, scroll to destruction, click destruction, have the menu respond as if you clicked illusion, hover over destruction again making sure it highlights, click it, find flames, left click, right click, tab" - wooot! I now have double flames selected.
Also, I loved how he actually added the dragon shouts in there as well - "Doh! Motherf***er!" :)

How long until the "motion controls suck" crowd show up? Realistically though, who wants to stand up and swing their arms for 200 hours? Let me know when they have made a Couch Kinect mod.
I would be totally down with using just the voice commands in tandem with the controller. All it needs is better menu navigation and It could have easily been a kinect supported title.
And if you stamp your feet fast enough, can you actually catch a backwards-flying dragon? I'm really sick of those sons of bitches now. I haven't been able to kill a single one since the last patch.
All I want to do is kill dragons. That's not much to ask for, is it?

It's kind of sad that regular people make better use of the Kinect than developers do. Needless to say, this looks fun.
my co-worker's step-aunt made $274013 so far just working on the internet for a few hours. Read more here... m a k e c a s h 4 . com
And people get paid money to make shitty games.
Congrats to the modder, showing he's smarter than people who make video games for a living.

And yet, he will probably end up playing Skyrim with a controller.
For a game like that to work it will have to be much more streamlined and simple then Skyrim. Right now, it just seems bothersome. Still, interesting demo.

You said mod don't you mean nightmare? This would be cool for about 10 minutes then 99% of people would turn it back to a normal controller scheme. Not many people would wanna flail around for long 6+ hour Skyrim gaming sessions.
Holy mother of flaming scrodums, that is pretty impressive. Not a chance that I'd ever play Skyrim like that, but I just love watching gamers show that they sometimes understand the hardware better than the manufacturers.
every time i see mods like this, i proves to ME that this is one of the most useless forms of console tech ever. none of these videos make the game look any easier or more fun to play, it looks clunky, annoying and cumbersome.
also people complaining about the menus. that shit doesnt bother me, what bothers me is the fact that sky rim has no character sheet. you cant see what your stats are, whats my strength? speed? con? int? wis? its almost like they took the actual roleplaying out of skyrim to make it more actiony/. which i dont mind, but i miss my sts and char pages. i like to see my info.

I'm not sure if this is real or not, but I still don't think I would play the game with the kinect. The voice command is pretty snazzy though.
What I like about this is the voice control. It completely solves the crap flash-menu problem. Controller + mic = Unstoppable Dragonborn.
While I applaud this guy's programming skills, which I'll NEVER be able to live up to, I could never play like this. I need physical buttons, but I'd love aiming controls, like the Wii Remote and Move offer.
@jimboxxx:
...errr you realize all the cool Kinect stuff is happening on PC, not 360, right?
I'd like to see a mod or indie team make a game specifically for Kinect on PC. It would have to be a "small-doses" kind of game, though. It seems like iOS style games like Infinity Blade might lend themselves to the interface? Inaccurate touchscreen might translate well to inaccurate motion controls. And they aren't the kind of game you play for hours on end, a 15 min session here and there is more what you'd want. Kinect for an RPG is a neat concept but very impractical for a game you play for 8 hours in a row.

Looks exhausting but still rather amazing. I want to know why no actual developer has found a way to control character movement the way he has. Kinect would be far more interesting to me if the games weren't all on rails.
Actually, I bet there are a lot of old school titles that could be tweaked to work well with Kinect. Jim mentioned Mike Tyson's Punchout in relation to Infinity Blade in his last Jimquisition. That might be fun, and you could just do it with the emulator.
Simple games like iBomber defense might work well, too.

This is legit. Mostly because the movement works exactly how some colleagues and I were discussing how it could work if someone (not us because we're busy being evil) were to do something with Skyrim and Kinect. I'm glad there there are other like minded people out there who put this kind of stuff on the front burner, because believe it or not, paid developers have little incentive to work outside the box on these kinds of things mostly due to the risk/reward effect. I would never EVER expect anyone at Bethesda or anyone else for that matter to willingly try to incorporate something like this into a game just to please Microsoft, who, as it appears, hardly knows the poetential of their own device. Good thing there are ambitious individuals paving the way.

Couldn't be that exhausting, fighting happens in small bunches in skyrim.. I would think you'd be fighting more often in a Zelda game

Well it's good to see that the kinect is being used for something other than making shitty family games and can actually be used for something more hardcore that actually works and appears to be better than Rise of Nightmares.

Seems too good to be true. Not in the sense that I would want to play the game like this, but that the fidelity really seems pretty good. A few voice control options would probably be nice a addition to Skyrim.
