Kung-Fu for Kinect comes to Xbox One
May 12, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Full-body fighting adventure to have playable demo at Unite ‘16
Europe. Indie studio Virtual Air Guitar Company has announced
their next Xbox One motion game, Kung-Fu for Kinect, will be
released in June 2016.
The game will be on display at the Unite ‘16 Europe conference
in Amsterdam, May 31 – June 2, where conference visitors and the
press can try out a fully-playable demo.
Kung-Fu for Kinect is based on Virtual Air Guitar’s 2011 Xbox
360 game Kung-Fu High Impact. “We’ve received a lot of requests
to bring Kung-Fu to Xbox One. We can now answer the popular
demand, thanks to great leaps in game development tools, such as
Unity® software. We can offer something for new players and old
fans alike”, says Aki Kanerva, Founder and Lead Designer at
Virtual Air Guitar Company.
As with the company’s previous games, Kung-Fu has been designed
with daily physical activity in mind. “Exercise is one of the
big reasons why we make motion games.
We want to provide both kids and adults with games that are
enjoyable on their own, but also keeps them up and active”,
continues Kanerva.
Kung-Fu for Kinect takes the player’s own video image and puts
it inside a 2D fighting adventure. The player fights comic-book
villains with real kicks and punches. During cutscenes, Kinect
takes snapshots of the player’s poses, giving the player the
lead role in their own animated comic book.
Kanerva reveals, “This new version has been reprogrammed from
scratch using Unity, so we have new cool features like new game
modes, more enemies on screen and ragdoll physics that react to
your attacks.” The game includes a 22-level story mode and 9
replayable challenges, such as a series of one-on-one fights,
monster football, and a challenge where players must avoid
getting hit.
