Zoo Tycoon What does the game need

[KrspaceT]

Hey, I am a college student who just got an older X-Box 360 for price reasons. To play Zoo Tycoon, what do I need, aside for more memory storage. Got it hooked up to the internet, and can it be played without a Kinect?

Hi there, unfortunately much of the game in "in the works" state. Many of us, including myself are unaware of what ZT will have, not have, may have.

I know that there was a blurb mentioned here; http://news.xbox.com/2013/07/games-inside-look-at-zoo-tycoon regarding Kinect support.

They can also get close to the animals through the enrichment interactions that utilizes Kinect on Xbox One to create a level of interaction between players and their favorite animals which wasn’t possible before.

Combining natural gestures to interact directly with your animals via charming enrichment interactions and intuitive voice commands to access menus and infographics in the most intuitive way possible. We are bringing a level of immersion never before seen in a “Tycoon” game and it’s all possible due to the power of Kinect on Xbox One.

bad news

If your wanting on 360 beware they just announced it will be a gutted copy of the xbox one version... for example

Only 55 species on 360 (roughly) compared to 100+ in xbox one

The map sizes are going to be half the size on 360

No kinect which is fine with me never wanted anyway

No online support, no online anything.....this saddens me cause I was looking forward to doing the community challenges

Dont believe .... check out this interview

I can understand that truthfully. I'm not really much of a multiplayer person (on Consoles, PC's another story) anyways.

"we're basically banking on the Xbox One community"

Or you could release it on PC where the fanbase is and have it be an instant success. Sometimes I really wonder whats going on at microsoft, they are so out of touch with reality it beggars belief. The more I read about this game, the more I'm convinced it will just be kinect shovelware.
