At Microsoft's E3 press conference this evening, Turn 10 studios has revealed that the next iteration in the Forza series will be compatible with Kinect, the new motion-sensing periperhal for Xbox 360.

Turn 10 claims it will create a radical new experience on and off the race track. You can use Kinect to walk around your living room checking out the car from all angles, even kneeling down to look under the bonnet. You can get into the car, lean forward to look at the dash and check out the interior by moving your head around.

On the track, it says the races run at 60FPS and it looks like you control the steering with your hands floating in mid-air (not sure that sounds like much fun.) You can also look around by turning your head. Looks good, but I think we'll reserve judgement till we give it a try.

Not much info than that. The footage should be online shortly!

I think ants will rule the world before GT5 comes out.
How could this air steering be better than having a wheel, especially one with force feedback/pedals? I just don't get it. Impressive technology, but pointless IMHO.

Not everybody has the space for a proper wheel, or wants to pay for one. Kinect will hopefully allow trackir type view control for more serious racers, or air steering for the pickup and play brigade. I havent seen anbody claim kinect will be the only way to control a a racing game. Consiering that trackir is about £120, kinect looks like it being a resonable price.

But people have money for a kinet costing £150? And the space to flap their arms around?
