Kinect 2.0 Detailed

Much of the excitement surrounding the new Xbox can be directly attributed to the next-gen Kinect sensor. Building off what the original Kinect started this takes NUI (natural user interaction) to the next level. From natural speech recognition to more accurate facial recognition and more detailed body motion capture. Kinect has been improved so much it's almost unfair to compare with the original incarnation. In this article let's go over what we know.

Project Draco Titled Crimson Dragon, Playable In Japan This Month!

Monday, February 13, 2012 Glen View Comments

The Australian classification website has once again gave away an unannounced Kinect title. Only this time it's only the name that is new. Crimson Dragon, developed by Grounding Inc and published by Microsoft, has been listed this month, and unless the two companies are working on another soon to be released game involving dragons, it's almost certainly the official title for Project Draco, the upcoming Kinect dragon combat game.

Although there aren't any new details about the game, we can expect some gameplay footage later this month when the game is demonstrated at a Microsoft event in Japan on February 26th alongside Kinect titles such as Diabolical Pitch, Kinect Star Wars and Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure.

Project Draco Powered By Unreal Engine

Thursday, October 20, 2011 Glen View Comments

Grounding Inc's upcoming Kinect-controlled dragon combat game Project Draco is using Epic's Unreal Engine 3.

"Because this is Grounding's first high-definition game, we looked at many technology options and picked Unreal Engine 3 as the best solution," Grounding director Yukio Futatsugi said in a statement.

"While our team size is only 15 people and we had merely one year from the start of the project, the productive tools and efficient processes of Unreal Engine 3 meant we could come up with a high-quality playable demo in a very short time," he added.

The downloadable game was unveiled at this years Tokyo Game Show, having been announced a year earlier at the same event.

Project Draco Revealed - Screens and Gameplay Details

Thursday, September 15, 2011 Glen View Comments


Announced at last years Tokyo Game Show, Project Draco is from much of the team behind the cult classic Panzer Dragoon series. And from the brief concept trailer we were shown last year, it was clear that Draco would be a spiritual successor to Dragoon of some kind, largely dealing with dragon combat.

This year the game has been fully demonstrated to the press. Although there has been no gameplay video released officially so far, the screenshots looks very promising and 1UP has posted a hands-on preview.

As expected, Project Draco looks to be largely Panzer Dragoon Kinect, with elements of a virtual pet game. Players mount their dragon and lock on to enemies with their right hand, much like Child of Eden. The left hand does more powerful attacks and the game is promised to feature a lot of variety in combat via upgrades and different dragons. Movement is controlled by leaning left and right, pulling back and leaning forward, much as it would be if you were actually sat upon a dragons back.

After missions, you can feed your dragon food that you have earned, giving you an opportunity to upgrade and customise your dragon, as well as build a bit of a virtual bond with the creature. You can then take your dragon online and play alongside friends' dragons via 3-player online co-op.

Project Draco won't be available until next year via Xbox Live Arcade, but the production values are clearly fantastic for a downloadable game, and it should look even better in motion. Let's hope we'll get to see it soon!
