if you were a microsoft first party studio and were forced to make a game for kinect, what would you make?

Note: You can't answer "i'd quit my job or anything" like that

Here's what I would do If I worked at RARE

A panzer dragoon like game, using Milo's technology in which you have to talk to mid-level bosses and characters, your responses would trigger pre-recorded responses from the bosses and would change the outcome of the game (kind of like mass effect's choice/consequence deal), this would mean though there are very few characters you could actually interact with in this way, but hey, it'd be pretty unique.

Instead of it being level based you could explore an entire continent on a dragon (but you could never leave the dragon, you're always in the air)

All in all it would be Panzer Dragoon meets Shadow of the Colossus with a hint of mass effect

You could grind enemies for money and experience so you could level up and buy some gear.

there you go RARE, was that so hard?

id like to make a RTS using it. start with something basic like a C&C clone and see how far i can go. the player would probably need to learn a mini language using basic voice commands and hand gestures to get the most out of it...but thats something id like to try.

I'd try to make the best game possible and hope the gazillion dollars I make off of my Carnival Games ripoff will fund my passion project, the one with lots of DLC and hardcore fanboy whining because of it.

i think i would ask them to subtly add it into existing games to enhance them. ei. throwing grenades, gesturing to squad members, head tracking in racing games, leaning around corners in FPS's. that kind of thing not removing the controller but enhancing

Some sort of puzzle game, probably. Or point and click (err, point and touch? I guess) type of title.

Why whining about it doesn't do anything it would just get you fired from an outstanding job

I would make a banjo Kazookie game if I was rare, or a adventureish kinda game that had Wii Sports Resort $tyle of graphics

Most of their first party stuff looks bad, like Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures or whatever. The only game that I think shows off Kinect well was that Ubisoft fitness game, Your shape I think -- but that's not something I'd buy Kinect for.

Newsflash; M$ doesn't care about their fanbase. They already proved to ditch their ''hard''core fanbase in favour of casual games on Kinect and also neglecting developing new IP's. Too bad Sony is guilty of the same thing...but at least their IP's are running in full gear. They should invest the money and time in new IP's...seriously. I dont want shovelware on my console.
