Kinect is cool, but it also has a number of limitations. It is very sensitive to slight movement. In order to make sure everyone stood in the right spot, Ubisoft had tape markers on the floor. If you're not careful, you can easily move out of range, throwing off the game you're playing. In one of the demos I played, your character actually disintegrates if you move out of range of the sensor. People moving around behind you can also be an issue, as the camera will pick them up if they get too close."
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
I've been waiting for something like Child of Eden since I first fired up Rez in my Dreamcast. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
I think Child of Eden will be good with normal controls, not sold on kinect/move controls.
OHHHH I don't know bout this Kinect nonsense, kinya tell me I can give somebody one helllllllllllllllll of a clothesline!? OHHHHH NO!
You can wiggle your limbs but ye can't be wiggling them kids back in! And you kin quote that!!
