Battlefield 4 will use Kinect on Xbox One

DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 4 will make use of the Kinect functionality on Xbox One.

The developer is looking to implement the Kinect technology "where it will make sense", which means that motion control won't be a part of it.

"We have a pretty pragmatic view [on Kinect 2]," studio manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Game Informer.

"Instead of just trying to tick all the boxes of features you can do with new hardware, we look at what actually adds value [for] our players.

"When you look at the kind of games that we build – or Battlefield at least – it is a first-person shooter that is very much about skill. Input is really important.

"You need to have very precise control over what's going on, and trying to do something like that with motion control input does not make sense – not if you want to keep the same kind of formula of the game as we [have] now. You'd need to build a different kind of shooter.

"But there are other places where it will make sense, and we are going to use it for other things in the game, but we haven't announced exactly what."

It's not yet been confirmed whether the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 4 will make use of Kinect.
