Kinect Hacks: Stomp through the Sprawl in Dead Space 2
12
This latest Kinect hack demo is something of a mixed bag: Some aspects of playing Dead Space 2 using Kinect and a Wiimote don't work so well. Others work really, really well -- like stomping. If there's a more satisfying-looking gesture in gaming for the rest of the year, we'll eat our hats.

It looks really clunky and hard to use, but damn that's cool.

So he was using a wiimote in conjunction with Kinect?
It would be better if he used a nunchuck hooked up to the wiimote for movement and only used kinect for stomping and swinging (maybe picking up items too but that's debatable). Movement by leaning doesn't look like it works too well.

Except I don't think the basic Move controller has a joystick on it, which is pretty crucial to moving around. I suppose the navigation controller could work though, but I think the Wiimote+Nunchuck combo is way cheaper and aiming isn't that bad on the Wiimote. The extra precision really isn't that big a deal I think in this case.
Can the Move even be used with a PC?

Looks awkward as hell to play, but it's really cool that he got it to work.

I'm bored of these hacks.

best thing in that video was the stomping, although it would be cooler if they could do different levels of stomping, the faster you stomp the more blood, the slower less splatter but you get a satisfying crunch with it. Things like that would be awesome

The dude that reached into the lift... I stomped his arms... my goddamn lift
