Thinks Kinectimals can win over core.
Kinect is every bit as accurate as a traditional controller, if not more so, claims Kinectimal’s David Braben.
The Frontier Developments boss and Elite creator told Eurogamer, “People imagine that the analogue stick or D-pad on the controller is extremely accurate as we have got used to the way shooters control aiming with a gun, but that is only because the aiming is incremental. In other words, you are controlling the speed of movement of the gun sight, not the position directly.
“If you were to control the position directly with a controller, then it would be impossible to hit anything – with a D-pad there would only be nine positions – but Kinect is accurate enough to do that without having to drive a cursor around.”
