The First Mass Effect 3 Kinect Footage

Our friends at GameInformer have just released a snippet of 'explosive' Kinect footage. This quick snippet shows off combat and environmental voice commands. Kinect is used to make interacting with the game world more seamless.

The video highlights selecting weapons, controlling squad mates and using biotics all with just your voice. Kinect will also be used for conversations with NPCs in the full game. Stay tuned for more Mass Effect 3 coverage from us in the future and be sure to check the teaser below.

Kinect @ Gamescom

Gamescom, the worlds largest games event, kicks off tomorrow in Germany with Microsoft's Xbox Play Day, a 3 hour event allowing the press to get hands-on time with all of the top upcoming Xbox 360 games.

We expect a Kinect-heavy showing, with new footage for games such as Kinect Sports Season 2, Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Kinect Star Wars and Dance Central 2. There will also be a new playable demo of Fable: The Journey, which will hopefully fare better than its initial outing at E3 which Molyneux described as a "horrendous mistake". We'll also likely get a better look at the new Xbox 360 dashboard launching this fall!

All of the major third party studios will be bringing their latest games too. Ubiosoft will be showing off the latest from games such as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, The Black Eyed Peas Experience, Just Dance 3 and Rabbids: Alive and Kicking.

EA are taking the latest builds of Mass Effect 3 and The Sims 3: Pets, both of which feature Kinect support, and THQ are showing off their latest fitness title, Adidas MiCoach. Also expect the latest demo's for Rise of Nightmares and Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.

Of course there will be more than what is currently announced and hopefully Gamescom will hold a few surprises, as usual. Check back all this week for the latest news and content!

Voice Support Coming to Mass Effect 3

BioWare demonstrated Mass Effect 3 at Microsoft's E3 conference and unveiled that the game will support voice control via Kinect. We revealed last week that Mass Effect 3 may utilize Kinect having discovered box art on EA's online store featuring the "Better With Kinect" banner.

Kinect users can select conversation options by reading their dialogue choice out loud. As well as that, players can co-ordinate battles by ordering team mates to move to a specific point in the battle and use specific attacks.
