Skyrim Is Getting Kinect Support, Dragon Shouts Included

Posted by Soulskill on from the now-when-you-swear-at-lydia-she-can-hear-you dept.

jjp9999 writes "Bethesda announced they're bringing Kinect support to Skyrim. It doesn't sound like this will include motion detection. Rather, it will be around voice commands — tons of voice commands. It supports dragon shouts, trading, navigation, switching weapons, and a whole lot of other features that usually require you to assign hotkeys or to sort through menus. They also gave a brief hint at new content, stating they've 'been hard at work on creating the first set of game add-ons that will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. This additional content will add new quests, locations, features, and much more to the world of Skyrim.'"

    Depending on what gets voice commands, you can have a lot of fun by walking up to someone playing this with a Kinect.

    These kinds of mods are exactly why I prefer PC gaming.
