One of the best game if not the best for me cause I play it the most is NBA2k11. Id want the option to shoot free throws by standing and have the Kinect recognize me. Simple enough, and would be a nice add on. What do you guys think of that idea? Or any other examples like Kinect baseball ? home run derby? people at gamespot hating it. lets talk a little dont be afraid to throw out a game ideas? Kinect4life

I want every sport to use kinect fully. Eventually for NBA2K it'd be sweet to play like even 2 on 2 bball in your living.

Yes, I think they should be able to do it. Especially with the free-throws indeed: it would add a lot of fun to the game imo. And it would be a bit more competitive, where you have a mate push you at the moment you try to throw it, haha.

Anyways, 'gimmicks' like this could definitely enhance a lot of games. Taking penalties in Fifa 12/13 using Kinect would be a cool feature too imo.

Looking forward to the future

The 2K11 devs tried free throws with Kinect. It must not have been up to par so they left it out. Here's an image of them trying it.

Yes, or the image is 'just a joke'... I thought NBA2K11 would bring Kinect support based on that image as well.. but in the end it didn't .

So did I. My guess is that we'll see it in the next 2K game.

Not sure if that was a joke, it was posted in May 2010? KINECT was released in November lol

Developers have had Kinect dev units since way before May. Rare has probably had them for over 2 years.

As far as I know the first Kinect (then known as Natal) development kits were released in June 2009 during E3 2009. Although I don't think the hardware was finalised until E3 2010. Of course internal Microsoft studios would have been working with prototypes before June 2009. Also Ubisoft said that they were actually expecting there to be a Kinect type of device released so they had actually been working on software (as in development software, I don't think they mean actual games other than maybe trying out game ideas) for Kinect style technology some time prior to June 2009 too.

Exactly so that couldn't have been a joke from an individual.
