World of Goo controlled with XBox 360 Kinect - puggsoy - 06-27-2012

Some guys managed to do some really cool stuff and play World of Goo using the XBox 360's Kinect! They posted it on a World of Goo fansite and I thought it would be cool to show to you guys.


Although it isn't really that practical (most levels would be hell with this method), you have to admit it's pretty cool, it's like you're actually picking up the Goo Balls. If a port were made (which they're thinking of talking with 2DBoy about), then there would probably be a lot of changes made to make it more fitting to the Kinect gameplay.

If the Kinect actually worked this would be pretty cool, but as it does not I can see it doing nothing more than making a great game frustrating after the first ten minutes of being impressed with it.

Not necessarily.
The Kinect is good...

...when used on a PC using open source drivers developed by people that aren't Microsoft.

You can do some really cool things with the Kinect when it's hooked up to a PC, but as far as Xbox games go, lolnope.
