MS promises more hardcore Kinect games

MCV Staff 7th March 2011 Publishing

Despite the fact that hardcore Kinect gaming has been a touchy subject for the platform holder since the device was first announced, but Microsoft has returned to the topic with a fresh promise that its traditional market will be served by Kinect.

"There are many [hardcore games] coming," Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business Kevin Unangst told CVG.

"This is sort of scratching the surface of what’s happening, but we’ve got Child of Eden here today, we’ve got Twisted Pixel’s Gunstringer and certainly you’re going to see more.

"We’re not even a hundred days since we launched Kinect yet. It was very intentional with Kinect to go out and deliver blockbusters like Kinect Sports and Dance Central – games that resonated with a broader audience.

"This is just the beginning."
