Ubisoft are announcing games thick and fast at Gamescom, and the latest one to become official is AMA developed Fighters Uncaged for Xbox 360 and Kinect. The game features 70 martial arts inspired moves, 21 locations in which to fight a total of 12 opponents. You will be able to unlock new skills in the no holds barred single player tournament and there will also be a jump-in co-operative feature for your friends to join in the fighting...
Luc Verdier, Project Manager at AMA Studios, had to following to say on the subject of Kinect and fighting games:
- Kinect bring us a fantastic and innovative opportunity to make players feel that they are actually fighting, and replicate the exact motions of a real life brawl. The Kinect can accurately detect full body movement, meaning each player can put themselves in the body of a real fighter and be able to unleash hooks, uppercuts, jump kicks, dodges, knock out blows, etc.... Moreover, it gives a fighting game a second layer of game play depth: The player needs to, of course, understand fighting techniques and strategy, but also really needs to manage their own physical skills. Being able to control these two layers provides an unprecedented level of depth that has never been possible before in a fighting game.
Fighters Uncaged is being prepped for simultaneous release with Kinect worldwide this November. Check out the first screens below...
