I don't like Kinect or cloud computing, these feel like gimmick products and services to me, so I hope they aren't mandatory on my favorite titles. I like FPS games in live multi-player mode and if I have to hook up a kinect to be competitive I will simply find a different game. I hope they don't force the issue like they have on other systems.
