Microsoft hints the next big focus for Kinect is to improve the voice recognition to make users sound like "actors" with the basis being how well they liked the feature in Mass Effect 3.
The boss of the Kinect division, Kudo Tsunoda, says the goal is to improve the voice recognition to make virtual conversations seem more fluid while also improving the camera to take into account body movements and stances. Quote:

Funny thing is, I always read out the options in KotOR1/2 (or any such branching dialogue system) to immerse myself in the game. It would be funny to actually do that as an option.
Fable is dead. Long live Fable II. |

The voice recognition thing is what I was talking about here.
You have to read out a few hundred phrases to help improve Kinects voice recognition. I guess the above news story is why. The few hundred phrases are broken up into 8 stages so you don't do it all at once, if you don't want to. Some of the phrases were weird. One was something like "I was in bed with Robert, at the time." Most were normal things like "Xbox, achievements." and small things like "cat" and "dog". |

Quick Pc question. Installed GTA 1 and I can't figure out how to adjust the ratio so the screen isn't cut off. GTA 2 has ratio adjustment in the options but GTA 1 doesn't. How do I fix this?
Also, for some reason, GTA 1 has the police radio playing the entire time, even if I'm on foot or in a non-police car. |

A bunch of Epic Games stuff with the long rumored Gears of War Exile officially canceled, an exclusive game being made for the PC, and no chance at a sequel for Bulletstorm.
While only rumored to be in development as a Kinect title, Cliffy B confirmed at PAX East Hears of War Exile was actually in development. The project was recently cancelled with the main reason rumored to have been the development team struggling to get the Gears of War style to work with the Kinect system. Also announced at PAX East was the company is developing a game exclusively for the PC with the potential of being the debut game for the Unreal 4 Engine. A few rumors are pointing to either the tech demo of Samatarian could be made into a full game or a new game in the Unreal Tournament series. According to Mike Capps, president of Epic Games, a sequel to Bulletstorm was in development until it was recently scrapped in favor of a new unannounced project. People Can Fly studio was developing the game for Epic Games until the project got cancelled. Quote:

Anyone who downloaded the fan-made Sonic 2 HD remake is urged to delete the game as soon as possible from their hard drive as a keyloger was discovered to be running while the game is played.
The rumor is one of the programmers was pissed at the ability of people to take unapproved screen shots of the game or something that was done by others on the team which he hated and put in the key logger as a nasty surprise. None of the other members of the team knew about it until recently. http://kotaku.com/5900549/sonic-2-hd...te-immediately |

EA accidentally confirms the existence of Crysis 3 after making the mistake of publishing the box art on their Origin services instead of a place holder.
It wasn't just limited to a picture of the game's box art as other adverts meant to be shown latter were also discovered on Google and other web sites before being pulled down by EA. The suggested $49.99 price is assumed to be just a place holder as EA and other companies have adopted the standard console price of $59.99 for big name PC games and ports. This also isn't the first time Crysis 3 has been teased to be debuting soon as last month the CVG teased Crytek was working on a "major unannounced project" while magazine Game Reactor teased Crysis 3 might be the cover image for their upcoming issue. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/crysis...ced-soon/4081/ ____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Sega is rumored to be in the process of a major reboot to the Sonic franchise with a rumored release of 2014 and a complete rehaul of the Sonic universe. http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...ot-coming-2014 2) Update to the fan-made Sonic 2 HD project as it was revealed a poorly implemented DRM system was causing the problems. The reasoning was due to the programmer not wanting anyone to copy his work which is ironic considering he had to copy the original game's assets for the project. http://www.screwattack.com/news/upda...us-delete-asap 3) A California court decided against Gamestop in a class-action lawsuit involving Gamestop treating used copies of Online Pass enabled games the same as new and not informing customers of additional purchases needed with a used copy. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/settle...ers-back/4078/ Bonus: Sony's expected $2-$3 billion loss for this fiscal year ended up being revealed as a $6.4 billion loss with half due to "deferred" taxes they were required to pay back according to US laws. http://www.vgchartz.com/article/2500...ng-march-2012/ Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 04-11-2012 at 07:04 PM. |

According to Miyamoto, he'd like a "spiritual" sequel to A Link To The Past to be made one day and a new F-Zero game to be made for the Wii U.
While his idea is for a new Zelda game to be influenced heavily by A Link to The Past, he doesn't want an exact remake of the game made for the 3DS or Wii U. Instead he would want the game to use a similar graphical and gameplay style as the basis. "I think the answer would be the same if we're talking about just porting," he said, "but I think I'd be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past. I think it's important to bring some really new software." He did admit he wouldn't have any control over the project but would want to hand pick the director if the project gets approved in the future. Quote:
In regards to a potential new F-Zero game, he teased its very possible the next F-Zero game would be on the Wii U with the goal of wanting to create a surprise or something unique which every F-Zero game has done so far. He admitted he nor anyone else was able to come up with something amazing for the Wii which is why there was no F-Zero game for it. http://www.edge-online.com/news/miya...-new-link-past __________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Darksiders 2 could be missing its June 2012 release date although THQ refuses to explain what could cause delay with the possibility of it being more related to their current financial problems. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...e-in-jeopardy/ 2) Upcoming DLC and patches for the Xbox 360 version of Elder Scrolls: Skyrim will add in Kinect voice support and timed exclusive quest missions. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/skyrim...-support/4082/ 3) God of War IV debut could be happening next week based on a posting by Sony on Facebook which teased a big announcement is on its way soon. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...god-of-war-iv/ |

I'm biased though, as I liked greek mythology as a kid, so this series was a nice nostalgia treat going in. |

Valve could be reigniting rumors of a Steam Box being developed as two key developments occurred recently.
The first is based on a recent job posting by the company due to them currently hiring engineers with experience developing hardware. While this could just be related to Valve's current plans on making Steam compatible with TV monitors, its also possible it could be related to previous "Steam Box" rumors. Quote:
