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.

Kinect @ Gamescom

Monday, August 15, 2011 Glen View Comments

Gamescom, the worlds largest games event, kicks off tomorrow in Germany with Microsoft's Xbox Play Day, a 3 hour event allowing the press to get hands-on time with all of the top upcoming Xbox 360 games.

We expect a Kinect-heavy showing, with new footage for games such as Kinect Sports Season 2, Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Kinect Star Wars and Dance Central 2. There will also be a new playable demo of Fable: The Journey, which will hopefully fare better than its initial outing at E3 which Molyneux described as a "horrendous mistake". We'll also likely get a better look at the new Xbox 360 dashboard launching this fall!

All of the major third party studios will be bringing their latest games too. Ubiosoft will be showing off the latest from games such as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, The Black Eyed Peas Experience, Just Dance 3 and Rabbids: Alive and Kicking.

EA are taking the latest builds of Mass Effect 3 and The Sims 3: Pets, both of which feature Kinect support, and THQ are showing off their latest fitness title, Adidas MiCoach. Also expect the latest demo's for Rise of Nightmares and Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.

Of course there will be more than what is currently announced and hopefully Gamescom will hold a few surprises, as usual. Check back all this week for the latest news and content!

Ubisoft E3 Line-up Revealed -- New Your Shape, MotionSports, Raving Rabbids & Just Dance

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 Glen View Comments

Ubisoft have announced their E3 line-up today via press release. There looks to be strong Kinect support given that Ubisoft "rules the casual market", if they do say so themselves, "holding the number one third-party position on Kinect, 3DS and Wii".

The line-up features a sequel to Kinect launch title MotionSports, MotionSports: Adrenaline, as well as a new title in the Your Shape series. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved is Kinect's most popular fitness title with both critics and the public, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it is getting a sequel.

Ubisoft are also going to be showing new entries into the Just Dance and Raving Rabbids series. Just Dance, as we previously reported, is Ubisoft's biggest dancing franchise having sold over 14 million units, and the next iteration will almost certainly be expanding to Kinect as well as Nintendo's Wii. Similarly, the next Raving Rabbids is expected to be hitting Kinect.

Finally, we unveiled earlier today that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will have Kinect support. Though there is no mention in the press release, it is likely that it will be fully revealed at their E3 press conference.

"Ubisoft has been delivering top-notch entertainment for 25 years, and we're incredibly grateful for all of our fans," said Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot.

"We plan for the upcoming years to be just as exciting and full of innovation, and the wide range of creative, fun and unique titles we're demonstrating at E3 illustrate the stellar talent of our development teams and Ubisoft's ongoing investment in delivering entertaining and innovative products to consumers." 

Keep checking Inside Kinect and we'll keep you up to date with the latest news as it happens.

Rayman Raving Rabbids Coming to Kinect?

Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Glen View Comments

Another day, another resume leak. This time for a character animator on LinkedIn who worked on "a spot with the Raving Rabbids for Ubisoft to introduce the concept of the Kinect".

Raving Rabbids is Ubisoft's biggest selling franchise with over 31 million units sold, and given its casual market on the Wii it's only natural that Ubisoft attempt to capture the same audience with Kinect.

Wanna know more? You probably won't have to wait long, the game will likely be announced during Ubisoft's E3 conference alongside their various other Kinect projects such as PowerUp Heroes and Dance on Broadway.
