Fifa 13 - Kinect and Swearing

People who have a Xbox 360 and a Kinect is going to have a lot of fun this September. The Kinect has seen some interesting uses from various games, with some trying to incorporate the motion controls directly into game play  while others use it as a learning tool, but Fifa 13 may take things one step further. Fifa 13 will listen in on the player and pick up any swearing or bad language using the Kinect’s microphone. The game will then let that influence the referee which results in a yellow or even a Red card.

The feature will tie into the game’s career mode too, with the player developing a reputation of using bad language and story lines forming around that character trait. Other functions of the game include issuing voice commands to swap out players or change formations of the squad. Otherwise the game will follow previous iterations closely, although EA claims the game’s AI has been tweaked to be more creative. Fifa 13 marks yet another high profile title to make use of the Kinect for Xbox 360.
