Ghost Pirate Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I work at a Zoo and that is why I think of this every now and then. We do enrichment for the animals and I often tell visitors that we do enrichment because the animals don't have an Xbox. I think there are three species that could effectively use an Xbox: Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Orangutans. All three are very intelligent and have hands similar to ours. They could use the controllers and learn how to play some of the games. The great apes are also self-aware, so I think they could understand and make use of Kinect (except for the voice commands). This could lead to something ego crushing. Imagine playing Halo and you come across this team that absolutely hammers you into the ground, later on you discover that this unbeatable team is a bunch of apes at a zoo. How humiliating! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guts Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Cats. They can use Kinect already, what is stopping them from moving to FPS games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buns Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Basically all the animals you have said. I can't wait for the day we teach a Gorilla how to play Pong. A great day indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Make_Big_Boom Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I believe a Dolphin could do it if there was some way for them to play the Xbox by using something other than a Controller. Underwater Kinect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Amell Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well...here's my list of animals of how they can play games in general. Animals that could play games .Chimpanzees- Has possable thumbs, so is able to play an xbox, same goes with the rest of the 3 listed below. .Gorillas .Orangutans .Pygmy/Bonobo Chimps .Dolphins- Despite being restricted of using hand coordination, Dolphins can play a type of game at least. Dolphins can recognize themselves in mirrors, solve problems. .Seals-They could possibly play games like Simon Says. .Dogs ( I bet GSD is reading this right now..) .And Cats. .And last but not least......dun dun DUNNNN..this thing :3 a human.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
