Moles speaking to Eurogamer have leaked tentative details on Microsoft’s E3 conference, namely that there’ll be ten new Kinect titles announced.

One source says that the games announced “won’t be obvious” and another said that they’ll be “hardcore” – all ten are expected to be non-sequels, although there will be sequels revealed too.

One such game is likely to be “Kinect Sports 2″, the follow-up to one of the system’s best launch titles (alongside Dance Central of course) and the same studio, Rare, are also working on a second Kinect title.

What these ten ‘hardcore’ Kinect games will be is anyone’s guess just now, but expect one to be based on an open world Forza title.

We’ll be at E3 bringing you the news first-hand.

      • I think it was the “Hardcore to be served” tagline that did it.

    • “Kinect titties” – that could be the collective name for Kinect users, as you always look a bit of a tit jumping around and waving your arms.

  3. Put simply, they can’t have another E3 dominated with motion sports/dance games.

    • I wouldn’t say “can’t”, “bloody-well shouldn’t” might be more accurate!

    • Dan’s right. Another E3 filled with motion sports and dance games may as well say goodbye to the 360 until the 720 is released.

      • IF we are following naming conventions it reall hsould be the Xbox 719, if we follow the standard incremental pattern PS1, PS2, PS3, goes up +1, Xbox 1, Xbox 360 – incremenats in movies of 359, so it’s The Xbox 719.

      • But it was never called xbox1 was it? Ps1 was never called ps1 either. I get your joke though, just saying!

  4. Glad they are bringing out some more Kinect titles. I love my Kinect but there are only so many times my friends and family want to play Sports/Adventures when they come over, lol. That said, I’m not entirely sure what games would work without a controller but I’m sure Mr Microsoft has a few ideas.

  5. I bought an XBOX a few weeks before the PSN outage, and I’ve never felt the need to buy a Kinect. While I bought the Move for my PS3 almost day one! Why is that?

    • Hey!… because the move gets you movin, the Kinect connects you with the game but both haven’t been nice with the quality of games.

  8. I wonder if these will actually be hybrid games, using both Kinect and a controller.

    • NO! You are the controller [shouted in a bad WW2 German officer movie accent]

  9. Well we know there’s at least one Kinect “shooter” in development and I’m expecting that to be one of the E3 reveals. Pew pew pew…

  10. I guess one of them may be gears of War, would be surprised if it wasn’t Halo to be honest.
