Bethesda Softworks has announced this morning that support for Xbox Kinect will be coming to the Xbox 360 version of their popular RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Kinect, of course, is Microsoft's camera/sensor system that lets players use their body and voice to play games, without ever having to pick up the controller. Bethesda is updating Skyrim to include over 200 different voice commands, including the much coveted option for Dragon Shouts.
Adding a new dimension to Skyrim’s gameplay, the Kinect for Xbox 360 integration offers Voice Commands throughout the game including Dragon Shouts, Hotkey Equipping, Follower Commands, and all Menus (Items, Magic, Map, Barter, Container, Favorites, and Skills). With Voice Commands, quickly create and load saves during gameplay and access menus and inventories. Skyrim’s Kinect for Xbox 360 Support also adds new functionality including special map functions, additional hotkey options, and the ability to sort inventory items by name, weight, and value.
