World Of Warcraft Kinetic (FAAST)
World of Warcraft Fanatics around the world brace your self because The new World of Warcraft for computer Kinect is set to be released almost world wide and has plenty to be proud about! Using the most advanced technology the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies have taken the next step in developing a software hack which is capable of allowing gamers to use the Kinect motion sensing devise to further plunge themselves deeper and deeper into the land or Arazoth, battling the once great Lich king and the ever so powerful Dragon form the latest expansion, Cataclysm.
The new software is called "Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST) and it uses full-body motion control (same as Xbox Kinect). There is no longer the use for gamers to be armed with a keyboard and mouse but rather their whole body. Players will now be able to now wield, swords, axes and even be able to cast spells of all kinds, to take out enemies and bosses of all shapes and sizes. PvP combat is also available, making it possible to engage in battles against people across the globe.
Gamers have described gameplay as being like nothing like ever before, saying 'it takes World of Warcraft to the next level, because opposed to sitting at a computer playing as your toon (character) you are up moving round performing the moves and abilities of your character, casting spells and wielding enchanted and mythical weapons, on top of this there is all the profession such as mining, enchanting, skinning, first aid, fishing and many others!'
So are there any real disadvantages of this? Things such as movement detection issues and can the FAAST be run of a computer capable of projecting 3d images? (because lets face it how AWESOME WOULD THAT BE!!!) well... Well as far as movement detection issues go, the hack is very responsive and is very well set up in that it is very responsive and there is not mucking around or waiting for it to recognise your action. To tell you the truth I have no real idea on weather or not the hack will be compatible with 3d computer but I will do my best to get back to you with that one. The only real disadvantage to FAAST is that after a few hours of hard core gaming with the FAAST is GREAT exercise and I am looking forward to purchasing one as soon as I can.
