Dead Space 2 played using Kinect

Kinect hacks have reached every major game genre and play-style by now, so it seems like old news to hear that another popular game has been modified to use Kinect (plus some Wiimote assistance). But Dead Space 2?

Is he just using a wii remote? There is some type of remote in his hand...

RonaldRaygun4846d ago

The video description on Youtube says he's using a Wiimote.

DualConsoleOwner4845d ago (Edited 4845d ago )

Xbox 360 has limited bandwidth for USB.

meaning Xbox 360 has BOTTLENECK while PC dont.

MintBerryCrunch4846d ago

so its more about turning kinect into a sensor that picks up the wii-mote?

HardcoreGamer4846d ago

what they hell, the site sais the ps3 motion and pseye can do better? wth. i think some lies are originating from this article.

MintBerryCrunch4846d ago

lies? there are actual games coming out for the PS3 that can use the Move and use it well...eg-KZ3 and Socom

so what are these lies you are talking about? when you see Kinect officially be able to play DS2, then you can claim that one can do it better than the other

Neko_Mega4846d ago

Its on a PC, so I'm guessing one person playing using the keyboard and mouse. And the other person is standing in front of Kinect moving around.

Because how does it know when you want to reload from shooting? Plus he wasn't moving in place until the character started to run.

RXL4846d ago

he reloads by lifting his hand above his head..

seems like it would be fun for a couple of minutes..then it'd get annoying..

ill stick with a regular controller for now

Neko_Mega4846d ago

Ouch 10 people that disagree? Wow lame.

slate914846d ago (Edited 4846d ago )

could be real, could be fake. whatever it is, it looks tiring...

Edit: and its probably hybrid controls with kinect and a wii mote. cause there is clearly something in his hands.

gamingdroid4846d ago (Edited 4846d ago )

That looks awesome!

Hybrid control system for Kinect is definitely exciting.

BK-2014846d ago

Ever hear of Playstation Move?

Kon4846d ago

Good luck hacking PSMove

bluwulf4846d ago

Doesn't need to be hacked.

Does this out the box...

Its why nintendo & sony turned down the tech for gaming, since its limited to Michael Phelps rail games.

kevnb4846d ago

Why would they need to hack anything? Nobody. Has even hacked kinect... there's nothing to hack when talking about a lController.

Arksine4846d ago

Kon, according to GDC documents Sony plans on officially supporting Move on the PC through the Move Server Project. No need for "hacks", although that is not how I would classify this.

That said, some unofficial work had already been done attempting to get Move to work on a PC. Image blob detection was probably the biggest hurdle.

gamingdroid4845d ago

Yes, I have heard of PS Move and nothing I have seen of it resembles what was just shown.

tudors4845d ago

@BK-201 No what that then?

If by "hybrid" you mean "on a PC with a Wiimote" then yeah, Dead Space 2(PC) Kinect controls look neat.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel37d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel35d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia36d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda36d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long36d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto36d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long35d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls756d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado56d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta56d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B56d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled159d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa159d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno158d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac158d ago (Edited 158d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast158d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial158d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
