Today is Major Sheppard Day time to Kinect to Mass Effect 3 on 360 and demo the PC version

Been shouting commands at kinect all day on the Xbox 360 Demo of Mass Effect 3 , and it is so intuitive and accurate , it changes the game completely not just in a most Clint Eastwood in Firefox vein but more than that  I found myself  channelling my inner Paul Muadib  ..you know when Usul no longer requires a weirding module! 


Yes like the God King of the Fremen I can not only kill with a word , but can command others to at the same time .... or just simply change weapons . heal , or change the tactics of my squad . all with voice and faster than all those button pushes or mouse clicks.


I have not seen any sign of head or hand gesture tracking , simply because I was too busy shouting multi character /party  combos with various mixes of incinerate , concuss , warp and singularity , even lobbing grenades using voice. Combine this with your joypad for shooting and you ARE a lethal killing squad not just an individual. 


Now pay attention Molyneux , this is is what we wanted from kinect , not Milo !


PC  fans need not despair , for ME3 runs faster and smoother on your hardware than the 360 version.


Easily . The ME3 engine is far better optimised for today's hardware , and that hardware includes Intel GPUS!


I have just been playing on a Windows 8 Intel HD3000 and i7 powered Lenovo X220T , and it is so fast ! And it claims this is not optimal hardware!  With Kinect for PC not far off it would be impressive to see the PC version get a Kinect update or at least allow speech commands through a mic or head set  .  Check out thegameveda demo play through part 1:
