One of the most exciting things about Microsoft's upcoming Xbox One is its updated Kinect, which comes with every console. The Fighter Within, a launch title from Ubisoft, has been developed from the ground up to take advantage of this improved hardware.
Examiner asked Aymeric Evennou, International Product Manager, during a recent interview whether handicapped players, or those who simply don't want to use the Kinect, would be able to play using an Xbox One controller.
Clint Hocking, the creative director of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Codename Hexe, has left Ubisoft, VGC understands.
“Assassin’s Creed” publisher Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years. CEO Yves Guillemot breaks down the new strategy for success.

^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.
I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.
Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.

They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.
No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.
They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.
Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.
Wiggling around, jumping and punching air like a fool will compromise your dignity.
If the game was accurate and actually let me put my boxing skills to good use then yeah, I would be all for it. But alas, there's a high probability that I'd get beaten by someone having an epileptic it as they get attacked by a swarm of killer bees.
i dont have much faith in ubisoft kinect games.
More like givin' it pad controls would put it in direct competition with regular fighting games , or even sports fighting such as UFC/WWE/Fight Night ... or even casual anime stuff (Naruto ... dbz) .
In wich cases Fighter Within would always loose .
if you are trying to make a kinect game for gamers
