Dead Space 3 For Kinect Has Secretive, Profanity Driven Prompts

December 28, 2012 by Matt Hawkins

Finally, an original way to get people interested in the motion sensing peripheral.

The upcoming Dead Space 3 for the Xbox 360 will support the Kinect, something that's been public knowledge for some time now. Though ComputerAndVideoGames reports that, hidden among the commands that one might come to expect, are super secret ones that are trigged when one curses.

Steve Papoutsis, producer of the game, explains how these secret vocal commands must be figured out:

"… there are commands where you might be in a certain situation and you might yell a specific expletive and it might behave in a way that you want it to. We definitely have done some things there…"

Feel free to make one's own joke about how, during the testing phase of Dead Space 3, the response among test players to the Kinect integration as so poor that the producers had no choice but to utilize all the venom that spewed from the aforementioned players' mouths.

At least there's one thing that players will not be getting bent out of shape over, and that's gesture-based inputs. When asked if they were ever considered, Papoutsis responded with:

"No, because people at this point with the third one are very used to the experience we have when kicking back on their couch with the gamepad, so it didn't make sense to put that in. When we have approached things like motion control we've done that from the ground up, such as with Extraction on the other platforms. We were allowed to think of it as an integral part of that experience. So with Dead Space 3 it didn't make sense to put that in."
