Absolutely, when I am not playing with the Kinect, I usually play with the keyboard/mouse and voice controls. The Xbox controller w/ voice controls is a good fit as well. That said, I really enjoy the Kinect experience, and the whole controller free gaming.
Thank you, greatly appreciated. It seemed that I had overwhelming support from the escapist forums when I posted my last video. You guys are wonderful, and your feedback on my last video really helped me find a new direction for this one.
I have to say, I'm more impressed with the voice recognition than anything else. I actually didn't know the Kinect could do it that well. It'll probably help sidestep some of the problems with menu navigation in the finished product, though you'll probably have to come up with a more versatile means eventually. Do you plan on somehow standardizing the recognition sample for distribution, or have each user train it on his/her own voice?
Also, while I have good thoughts about most of the interface so far, I'm still not sold on the walking part. It'll be hard enough standing for a decent length of time while flailing your arms like a madman, but the way of moving forward and turning just looks unnatural to me. That's the sort of thing I think is still best left to a controller. The bow and third-person camera movements you made seemed a bit strange to me too, though that might just be incidental, and if it isn't, it can be improved.
Will there be a way to choose how much of the system we use for what? For example, will the user be able to use a USB controller for most actions, but the Kinect for shouts and magic?

You bring up some important points here. The voice recognition is handled by a program called VAC, which lets you map your voice commands to certain keystrokes. The windows software handles the initial voice recognition, so each person would have to set that up.Hal10k said:
The walking part could be improved. Currently I have a walking in place system used for other titles that have less madness going on, but it is really fatiguing. The third person movements, i'm not too sure. I have my mouse sensitivity pretty high, maybe some of those visual issues could be solved by lowering it. Honestly, the bow just takes practice.
Finally, yes, you can use the voice commands w/ keyboard/mouse or with a controller. I often use the voice commands and keyboard/mouse when im not using the Kinect.
Cheers!
