At Gamescom, Microsoft’s focus has been all on Kinect. Apparently, the hardware giant thinks its motion control peripheral will usher in the next huge step in gaming once it launches later this year.
To accomplish this, however, you need games that will prove without a shadow of doubt the device really works, something Microsoft has been doing ever since Kinect was announced. Their latest showing: Dance Evolution.
With Dance Evolution, the game responds to real dancing. Using Kinect players move their body to the beat and position their bodies against a variety of on screen markers.
Here’s Martin Schneider, European Marketing and PR Director for Konami Digital Entertainment:
“As an expert in the rhythm-based genre with games such as the highly-successful DanceDanceRevolution franchise, it was a natural fit for Konami to utilize the new capabilities of Kinect and create the next generation of dancing video games.
DanceEvolution is truly an interactive, full body dance game, providing gamers a heart-pumping experience.”
The Quencher Continues:
The game will also allow players to challenge up to four friends anywhere around the world. Konami’s also prepping to release dlc in the form of dance sequences, theme packs etc.
It will include 30 tracks on launch which will spanning club music classics, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, and Techno. The game will also include two main modes in Dance Mode and Lesson Mode as well as four levels of difficulty, Light, Standard, Extreme and Stealth.
