Will Xbox LIVE Indie Games be allowed to support Kinect? While the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind yet, Digital Spy was thankfully able to get the ball rolling. Here’s what they got back from a Microsoft rep:
“Like full retail Xbox 360 games and Xbox LIVE Arcade games, Kinect games will be created by a select group of publishers that Microsoft has partnered with for the launch.”
In the traditional mega corporation way, the possibility — no matter how slight — that things could change for the better wasn’t ruled out. “Opening up Kinect development to XNA Creators Club members is something we may consider in the future, but no plans can be confirmed at this time.”
I can’t even begin to describe what kind of absurd Kinect games would be made for our viewing pleasure, if these XBL Indie developers were given the chance. What do you say — brainstorming session in the comments?
