All first-party Xbox 360 titles will come with Kinect voice support in future.  That’s according to Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer who was speaking about the device.

Train2Game students can remind themselves about the Kinect heavy Microsoft E3 presentation here on the Train2Game blog.

“It’s not a mandate that everything we do in first-party has to support Kinect right now,” Spencer told GameSpot.

“But I will say, specifically with voice, that there are some things that just seem to make navigating and playing games so much easier, that I would guess the answer will be yes in the end, that you’ll see all first-party games using some form of Kinect functionality.”

He added that while adding Kinect doesn’t mean making huge differences to gameplay, but would make the whole experience better.

“Whether it’s voice in Forza or head-tracking in Forza, which you wouldn’t say is somehow turning the Forza gameplay experience on it’s head,” Spencer said.

“Rather, it’s just using the advantages of what Kinect brings to make the experience better. So I think there’s some specific examples where Kinect makes everything better.”

As reported by the Train2Game blog last year, Spencer said Kinect would become core to the Xbox 360 experience.

So Train2Game, what are your thoughts on Spencer’s comments? Do you think Kinect support will change major Xbox 360 games? Do you think it needs to happen?
