Lionhead Studios, the company behind the projects Fable III and Milo expresses its strong interest in producing Kinect games. While it was expected and hoped that Fable III will have Kinect support, last year Peter Molyneux, the boss of Lionhead, confirmed that the game would not be using Kinect. Project Milo was the other game from Lionhead Studios that a lot of people were looking forward to see on Kinect but was eventually cancelled. However, Lionhead didn’t lose its interest in Kinect!
An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.
10 Years Ago This Month: Microsoft announces Ensemble's closing time months before it wraps development on Halo Wars.
After Microsoft disbanded Lionhead studios, many of the developers moved onto new projects - Deadbeat Heroes was one of them.
Im really excited to see what devs bring to kinect now more are finally getting on top of it. Could change the cloudy outlook the device held a few months ago!
Why not revisit Black or White?
If any studio can prove Kinect's worth in gaming, it's Lionhead. I still don't think Kinect can solely offer the fundimentals that gaming has become known for over the years.
Perhaps Peter and his team are planning a hybrid experience (controller + Kinect). I can see that being very unique and appealing.
Milo: Pedobear Edition. :)
Black & White Kinect Please!
