Gamers will soon be able to control characters in Garry's Mod with nothing more than their limbs. Creator Garry Newman has announced a new patch for the sandbox game that adds support for Microsoft's Kinect motion-control technology.
Kinect support for Garry's Mod will work with all Xbox 360 Kinect units on any Windows PC machine with Kinect for Windows Runtime v1.6, but not Mac.
The update is scheduled to be released either this week or next, according to a tweet from Newman, and is not planned for release outside of the PC.
For more on Kinect support for Garry's Mod, check out Newman's detailed blog entry and video of Kinect compatibility in action below.
I like the picture
And why would we need a crappy,Â?dysfunctionalÂ?(Except for Dance Central) motion sensing gimmick in a game already brimming with brilliant creativity put out by the community? To fill Microsoft's pockets of course. G-Mod simply doesn't need this to make it better...
didn't know that kinect support pc, oh well i hope they add a support for skyrim then !
How To Make a Gmod Video
Â?
1. Outline a simple plotÂ?
2. Do as many drugs as you can
3. Make Gmod video
4. When you wake up from your drug trip, go with what you have done, and put classic video game music to it

no.... just.... no......
Impressive. I'm still not getting a Kinect.
Hah, Garry's Mod... it's such a party.
Â?
Can't wait for the Half-Life 3 update :)
Pointless gimmick that is this mod.
Can it track facial expressions? I would go crazy with my facial expressions!Â?
Not a big fan of Kinnect, but this sounds pretty cool.
Lol this looks like a GOOD Kinect Game.
yes, MOAR GIMMICKS!
OH Crap an actual reason for the average person to use a Kinect on PC!
Not sure about anyone else, but I was terrified by this video. The music and the setting along with how the models moved, it seemed really surreal.
Â?
I can only imagine the flood of youtube poop vids with garry's mod.
Yeah, but they have to fix Kinect first, and then we'll have sexy time.
Oh shit...
this is the best use of the kinect EVER
I will make my point clear.Â?
Â?
YES.
Oh boy the madness will onlyÂ?multiplyÂ?
Kinect doesn't support my office or livingroom.
Perhaps Kinect 2.0 HD.
And suddenly the Kinect's potential is realized.
Now that is friggin cool! I don't care what any of you say, but it's neat to see that Valve is using other company's devices to do something better with it than the original creators intended. I think I would get a Kinect just to do some cool motion capturing. Microsoft should thank them because this actually might boost sales since that means the Kinect device is now tapping into the PC fanbase.
Who cares
...in cars?
i can not begin to describe how ausome it is to be able to move and interact a "physical" body within a world.
I expect all hell will break loose and youtube will be overloaded with crazy videos
%$#@ I just insulted Valve on the SE article.. ok Valve is cool again lol this is fantastic!
Â?@robertcainÂ?Chill, if you don't want to use it, then don't use it. It's only an option for the people who have it and want to use it :D
Â?@Rivboets7 Definitely better than any game on the move.
Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?
You really hate the PS3 I've noticed from all of your comments.
Â?@SangheliZealotX Remember the x-box hd dvd player that was funny, remember constant ring of death, remember no hdmi or wi fi support for years that was funny. Ahhh x-box what a piece of poop.
Â?@SardinarÂ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs
Â?@RE2LeonS Is Valve even involved with Gmod?
Â?@PredawnPenquin Your mom does.
Â?@PyrosaÂ?I feel safest of all. I can lock all my doors. It's the only way in.. IN CARS.Â?
Â?@HonorOfGod valve has nothing to do with the Garry's mod its a MOD
Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?
Stop trolling the PS3 OMG!!!
Â?@Rivboets7Â?Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?Yes he does, brings up that thing that's not necessary to this article....
Â?@khaos107Â?Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?
Â?
Remember when the PS3 had backwards compatibility? How about when you could install another OS on it? Or how about when the PS3 used to have more USB and media ports? And there was that time when their network was down for a month and everyone's personal data on PSN was potentially at risk, remember that? I could go on, but I think I have made my point.Â?
Â?@khaos107 Remember how the ps3 had no exclusives for the first 3 years and how it cost 600$ and how it had no cross game chat?(oh wait it still doesn't have that) What a piece of poop.
Â?@khaos107Â?Â?@SangheliZealotX 7 years and you guys are still bitching over which console is better? Can we move along, please.
@Rivboets7 I'm not trolling im spreading the truth
Â?@FuryX-4Â?Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?
So true
Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ? Resistance: Fall of Man! Come on now, if your going to troll, get your facts straight!Â?
Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ? But it doesn't cost 300 dollars now. It has a lot of good games now. So, you actually try a PS3 game. Not Playstation all-star Battle Royale. Try MGS4 or Demon's Souls or Uncharted 2.
@Rivboets7 @khaos107 since the ps2 outsold the original Xbox 7:1 I wouldn't consider getting beaten by that consoles successor as doing well.
Â?@SangheliZealotXÂ?Â?@khaos107Â?
It's close to the Xbox in sales so it did pretty well I'd say in those first 3 years.
Â?@ChemicalReaperÂ?Â?@SangheliZealotX NO!
