Your First (Brief) Look At Kinect's Panzer Dragoon

Project Draco is the creation of Yukio Futatsugi, the man who invented classic Sega on-rails shooter Panzer Dragoon. It's a very similar game for Kinect that, in addition to having you fight other dragons and guys mad enough to ride on dragons, also lets the player "nurture and learn to communicate" with your flying buddy.

I loved Panzer Dragon Orta, so really looking forward to Project Draco.

CountDracula5662d ago

Just goes to show that Kinect is more than a mere gimmick. While The PS MOVE still hasn't had any innovative software to go with it yet. (Bring on the empty lists fanboys lol)

ManGastaS5662d ago

Kinnect will surprise us E3 2011

There's no need to bash Move just to make kinect look good. This is already a positive article, lets not marr it with fanboyish childishnes ok?

Taker_1295662d ago

When was on-rail games innovative? This game is equivalent to Time Crisis on the PS Move. So please stop the fanboy nonsense. Both Kenect and Move are great pieces of tech, so deal with it.

PD 1, 2, and Orta were on rail shooters but astounding for their time. Who said anything about this one being on rail?

Killed4Less5661d ago

Really looking forward to this game and I am very excited about the Kinect stuff coming in the near future. The launch games are alright but like MS said they were geared at the family so I could really use something like Project Draco to get my core on.

Loved Panzer back in the Sega days..

I actually was hoping that they could get some of that HD treatment like the rest of the older series...

Project Draco is good news for 360 fans who own Kinect..the whole 'core' games will go to the wayside as developers have their hands on it for longer than a year

I agree I'd kill for an HD remake of Panzer Dragoon 2. I know most people would perfer Saga but 2 was always my favortie

bangoskank5662d ago

The first three in the series should be remade. A lot of gamers missed out on an excellent series. It's a damn shame that PD Saga was so limited. It was a much better game than Final Fantasy VII in my opinion and should have garnered all the attention that Square's game received.

George Sears5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

Games like these will really please hardcore 360 owners into possibly keeping an eye on Kinect.

I never had an XBOX but my uncle did and he also had Panzer Dragoon Orta and it really was a great game.

VenomProject5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

Panzer Dragoon?...ON KINECT?...I'm jealous...

I haven't played Panzer Dragoon since the *Sega Saturn days.

EDIT: *Sega Saturn...Not Dreamcast.

BloodyCHAMP5662d ago

Top 5 Kinect Games We're Looking Forward To.

@Cleaverslips writes for @XG247: It’s been almost one year since the ability to make a fool of yourself in your front room without a controller came into our lives. The Kinect has had some detractors but certainly some fans. Super hit Child of Eden hit a mark but left us hungry. Fitness Evolved gave us another excuse not to go to the gym, and Kinect Fruit Ninja is a purchase you should have already made. So here, with Xbox Live Arcade in the mix, are XG 24/7’s top five games that we’re looking forward to for the Kinect.

EVILDEAD3605335d ago

This years?

Forza 4 (tommorow) Autovista FTW!

A7XEric5335d ago

TGS: Why Project Draco Doesn't Support the Default 360 Controller

One of the most exciting games at this year's Tokyo Game Show has been Project Draco, an on-rails Kinect shooter that looks a lot like Panzer Dragoon, but with more colorful visuals and light RPG/dragon breeding aspects.

Raider695358d ago

another one that haves is fate seal,just like rise of nightmares.Not putting support for the default 360 control will rend poor sales to this title since some people simply cant stand kinect over default 360 control,not to mention kinect owners are just 10% and its not a game like this that will make hardcore gamers buy this kinect.

gamingdroid5358d ago

Yes, but other games like Dance Central sold 2.5 million while Kinect Sports sold over 3 million. Also, Kinect Fruit Ninja have been topping the charts too lately.

So I think the market is there.

Why o why5358d ago

Too much kinect stuff, the support is great for those who enjoy it but ive not got kinect so where does that leave me.....apart from burning guys on gears. "Available now in the uk from cex stores for 50quid"

ECM0NEY5358d ago (Edited 5358d ago )

Gears is the last game we need till next gen.

OT: no controller support = no sales

Shadonic5357d ago

No controller support - no sales for those without kinect. Saying no sales in general after the current success of the games that have come out so far is like saying that because the move has sold a few good move games means its makeing no profit.
