While Ubisoft may have potentially goofed here, their dedication to motion control gaming has been something to be admired.
Harmonix could have claimed this crown for itself with Dance Central. According to VGChartz, and as of this, writing the numbers don't quite add up in worldwide sales: Interestingly, this claim may not be 100% true. Its Kinect titles include Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, MotionSports, and Fighters Uncaged. Beating NPD's release of their 2010 year end video game sales data, Ubisoft has self-proclaimed itself as the leader in sales of third party developed games for the Kinect. Now Ubisoft seems to be making a big push towards being known for one more: the top third party developer for Microsoft's Kinect. Kinect Party is due for Xbox 360 sometime this year.Ubisoft is known for many things including, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Far Cry and of course this list wouldn't be complete without mention of the Rayman franchise. Then they'd look crazy, which is probably more terrifying than anything in the game, actually. Then people would drag their friends over to show them the offending terror only for it to not happen with another person present. My favourite adult concept that Skillman hypothesised wasn't sexual or violent at all, but involved having scary things happen only when one player would be present. "We care about the kids and would not like families to be traumatized by playing one of our games," Schafer said. "I mean they're very involved in the nature of family, in a way, but they're nothing that could be considered family entertainment." Tim Schafer added, "Let's just say that we have a system that allows you to attach objects to characters such as extra limbs or body parts, and some of them are not meant for family." "We'd like to do an 'after dark' version" said Skillman, who admitted that a cut concept included a level that made players shoot explosive diarrhea from their bottoms anytime they'd bent over. While the unsuspecting title will be appropriate for all ages, the comic geniuses at Double Fine hinted that they'd like to do an adult-themed version. New stages include a dubstep level, a fairy forest, a giant bathtub and a stage set in the rain where lightning strikes turn players into skeletons. The sequel also includes 18 new levels as well as the original 18 for owners of the first game. Simply grab floating accessories in the environment, then watch yourself sport a bushy squirrel tail, turtle shell, dinosaur claws, or hot dog costume. Players can now adorn several new costumes. In my brief hands-on time I felt the urge to replace my current profile pic with at least five images of me having what appears to be an acid trip in a Harold and Kumar movie. The game snaps pictures of its players in their make-believe green-screened worlds, then allows the option to upload them onto Facebook. "You make up your own games," said Double Fine artist Drew Skillman.
Instead it was a series of outlandish backgrounds and ridiculous objects that two players could interact with. The original game was a collection of mini-games without goals. Today at PAX Prime in Seattle, Washington Double Fine Studios showed off Kinect Party, the sequel to its eccentric title Happy Action Theater.
