DICE confirmed to Game Informer magazine that Battlefield 4 will support Kinect on the Xbox One "where it will make sense". Meaning, there's no need to worry about having to jump out your seat to throw a grenade then!





General Manager at DICE, Karl Magnus Troedsson said "We have a pretty pragmatic view. 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." He also stressed how important it is for DICE to nail precise controls through traditional methods.

He continued to explain "When you look at the kind of games that we build - or Battlefield at least - it's 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."

He didn't give detail into how Kinect's motion or voice control will be used, but we'll find out in due course when the game releases onto Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation on October 29th and next-gen consoles (release date still TBA).
