Developer supports motion control in first game
Microsoft's Kinect will apparently soon finally conquer the PC. The Korean developer GamePrix has Divine Souls with its multiplayer role-playing game http://divinesouls.outspark.com presented the first game to support motion control for the Xbox 360 game console on the computer. As various US gaming blogs report, the company plans to make the finished end product even more similar to console games through Kinect support. It will probably be released even if Microsoft does not yet officially support Kinect for the PC.

Misuse or official support
The console control has been misappropriated by its users since it went on sale. With the help of open source software, an Austrian developer recently developed a demo for a controller-free sex game, which Microsoft has now clearly rejected. In addition, numerous hackers have tried Kinect in order to be able to use compatible games as well as unofficial applications and applications not approved by Microsoft with the device.
Drivers for using Kinect on a PC were only introduced a few days ago. According to GamePrix, a whole range of applications are conceivable on the computer that go beyond pure game control. Microsoft has so far emphasized, however, that Kinect is an additional device exclusively for the Xbox 360. According to the reports, the group has not yet commented on the developer plans. GamePrix is unlikely to be the only software company that wants to bring Kinect to the PC. However, she is the first to say she has Microsoft's support.
