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.

Hole In the Wall Hitting Xbox Live Arcade Next Week, Leedmees Next Month!

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 Glen View Comments

Microsoft recently stated that they're aiming to provide approximately one Xbox Live Arcade Kinect title per month. Starting strong earlier this month with Fruit Ninja Kinect, next up we have Hole in the Wall which will be available this time next week on August 24th.

Based on the hit TV show the concept is one that seems popular with Kinect fans and developers, with variations on the concept in Carnival Games, Wipeout In The Zone and the upcoming Raving Rabbids game. Players simple move their body to try and fit it through peculiarly shaped holes in a wall. If your body doesn't squeeze through the hole, the wall hits you into the water.



Next month sees the release of the Leedmees from Konami. Leedmees makes use of one or two players' full body movements to create a path and lead the Leedmees, mysterious small creatures, from their spawn point to the goal. Think Lemmings meets Twister.

Leedmees will be available September 7th, so mark that in your diaries and check back for more info soon!

Microsoft Publishing 'Hole In The Wall' for Xbox Live Arcade

Tuesday, May 17, 2011 Glen View Comments

The German USK ratings board has revealed a new Kinect game coming to Xbox Live Arcade soon. Published by Microsoft, the much-requested Hole In The Wall will likely replicate the identically titled TV game show, often described as Human Tetris.

The player will have to twist their bodies into increasingly impossible shapes in order to get through a, you guessed it, hole in the wall. The game naturally seems like the perfect fit for Kinect, and the Kinect iteration of Carnival Games features a mini-game much like it.

It's likely that we'll find out more at E3. We know of a handful of Kinect enabled Xbox Live Arcade games now including The Gunstringer and Doodle Jump, so we expect there will be some kind of XBLA showcase. Xbox Live Arcade is the perfect place for smaller ideas and concepts like this to find their audience, and hopefully some Indie developers will have some innovative and creative software to show too, like Shuffle.
