Xbox’s UK marketing director, Harvey Eagle, has said that Xbox One will not function without Kinect connected.
“Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes,” Eagle said. When asked whether the Xbox One will accommodate people who may play smaller rooms with limited space, he replied, “Yes, absolutely.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist ‘Co-op’ Trailer
Ubisoft has released another trailer for the upcoming Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The trailer shows some cinematic co-op gameplay from what, we can assume to be, one of the co-op missions.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist offers two player co-op mode with 4 mission types, 14 maps with 2 player split-screen.
Play as Sam Fisher or Isaac Briggs (a CIA operative) and work as a duo: help your teammate access parts of the maps you couldn’t access on your own, create your own tactics depending on your Play Style and watch each other’s back as you complete missions.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC on August 20 (North America), August 22 (Australia and Europe), and August 23 (UK).
