"The Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 will feature head-tracking, Electronic Arts confirmed to Polygon. Specifically, the camera will be used for leaning and peaking, as well as voice commands."

I didn't see this thread so I thought I would post it! Sounds pretty cool!!!

I don't know if Ill use the head tracking. Will use the voice commands though.

Just leaning your controller forward to execute a knife move is awesome!

Has there been any confirmation on the use of the rumble triggers whilst shooting?

Same. Not that the head tracking feature isn't cool. I just don't think I'll think about it while gaming.

Could be handy looking around intersections i always hate doing that with a slow controller. Don't think i'll be using it much, does anyone know if the kinect acts as a normal mic? I don't enjoy playing with headphones.

really? I was thinking I would probably use the "lean". Dont know what other tracking movements there are. Voice commands always seemed kinda slower than hitting a button.

I just think the voice commands make me feel more engaged in the game. I feel like actually leaning would just feel weird and take me out of the experience. I don't know though, I could be wrong. Guess I'll find out!

heh, I naturally lean my head anyways! Might as well make it work for me now!

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

I doubt i will make much use of this, unless it's very accurate without lag.

Not that I know of. Sounds pretty damn sweet though!

The only game I used voice commands on last gen was Skyrim. They were utterly epic in that context. Think it will be a while before I enjoy shouting Foos Roh Dah! that much again.

They mentioned during the US/EU showdown that the head tracking would be in vehicles, which makes more sense. Curious to try to lean around a corner tho.

even though I'll be getting PS4 as well as xbox, it was kinect/smartglass that made me want Xbox day one and while I was leaning towards this for PS4 because of the higher Res. kinect use means that if I do now get the game. Xbox is the version I'll get.

Definitely won't use. I can only imagine how many times I will accidentally activate it, while stretching or naturally moving/resting my neck.

Also seems like it would be disorienting and counter intuitive to turn my neck sideways while trying to shoot people on screen.

A push of a button would definitely work much better here...which is unfortunately how I feel about most of the Kinect's in-game uses/features at the moment.
