But it's not for "real games," says Carmack

"I have an itch to make a Kinect title for Xbox Live," said John Carmack in a recentinterview with Joystiq. But don't get your hopes up too fast - he followed it with, "I don't even know what I'd want to do yet... I can't use Kinect for our real games; there just isn't a place for our current FPSes on there."

So while it may be a while until we see a Kinect game from the man who single-handedly pushed FPS tech to its limits for the better part of the 90's, it's nice to hear a hardcore developer express interest in the project, and he's not the only one. Several high-profile Japanese firms alsoexpressed interest to Famitsu, in one ofits recent features.

The feature included interviews from the developers of more casual-friendly games, including Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports, Dance Evolution, Sonic Free Riders, Adrenalin Misfits, and Haunt from Parappa the Rapper creator Masaya Matsura.
