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!

Lemmings Meets Twister -- New Leedmees Info Arises

Tuesday, July 05, 2011 Glen View Comments

The debut trailer for Konami's upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title, Leedmees, got a bit buried under a ton of bigger announcements at E3 last month. It's unfortunate, because the charming little game looks like it could be one to keep an eye on, making unique and clever use of Kinect's full body control.

As we gathered from the trailer, the core concept isn't too unlike the classic game Lemmings. Little characters spawn at point A, and the player has to clear or build the path to point B. With Kinect the path, essentially, is you. The little men will walk up your leg, and bounce from arm to arm. You'll have to push up doors, and scoop up balls to ease their journey to the swirly red exit.

The Telegraph have put up a new preview of the game, detailing single and co-op gameplay. With two players, the levels become more complex and more than a bit reminiscent of Twister. One player might have to hold his leg, which the characters are now spawning on, up in the air to avoid squashing the little people whilst the other forms a bridge with their arms. With Kinect constantly tracking your body, clearly co-ordination and teamwork is key. Unfortunately cooperative gameplay looks to be local only right now, with a leaderboard being the only online option.

Leedmees will be launching later this summer with 50 single player and 12 co-op levels; quite a nice package for a downloadable title. We can't wait to check it out, and if you missed the debut trailer, here it is below!
