A new video of the Kinect-controlled 360 dashboard has popped up, explaining how it?ll all work.

The video starts with Microsoft?s Scott Hinsen demonstrating the device.

He waves at the camera until it recognises him, then once the dash appears he explains how voice commands and gestures work when using Kinect.

Throughout the video, Hinsen shows how Kinect works with Zune Marketplace to pause and rewind movies, as well as how it works with your own music.

It seem perfect for people who keep losing the remote down the back of the sofa.

Kinect is due for release in November.

Thanks 1UP.

^ don't think we're watching the same video, looked really responsive to me. It even understood when he switched hands without slowing at the start of the video.

The cursor snaps to the controls your hand moves towards too which saves time (Y)

Ya, it moves as fast as he moves his hands, AND it shows you can use both hands because he does switch in the middle and it shows two coursers actually. Besides, if moving your hands is too much for you then just give it a voice command, done.

The last bit that I hope they can do before it ships is have to tied to whatever user account is logged in as far as voice goes, so it won't just take commands from anyone in the room like it seems to do atm. I think they'll work that out by Nov though, it has to be on their list.

Seems more responsive than when presented in E3. Then again, no one's dancing or jumping around. Dude's just standing there ever so stiff and still there's noticeable lag. As long as you dont move your arms faster than my 90yr old grandmother, you should be good.

Oops at it failing to recognize 'Xbox Zune Marketplace' and keywords popped back up instead. If these are the video highlights then I'm still not impressed. Give me a controller and watch me leave this guy in the dust.

Nice, thanks for posting those.

Are teen accounts new or have they been around for a while? Wondering if they are part of the new family pack changes too.

Shameful nitpicking....annoys me how on the horizontal pane everything starts with a capital but vertical they are all lower case (except for Xbox).

The pictures are from a preview (on Kotaku) of the Family Center and Family Pack coming to Xbox Live, so I think that's why they're labeled as teen accounts. I'm not entirely sure if they're new or not.

Regan is a unisex name in the U.S. I know a girl named Regan.

More importantly, and has this been announced yet.

but according to that they're adding family gold accounts, I haven't heard anything about it yet, but it's not something I'd probably see anyway. sounds like it'd be a good feature removing the need for families to have multiple gold subs. or even roommates possibly.

looks really nice and responsive to me, I've gotta say I'm looking forward to the voice and jesture control more than the gaming aspect of it lol, tho I don't think I can justify spending ?129 just to talk to my xbox.

Yup, it's been officially announced, and yes, that's what the screenshot is of.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
