Grounding Inc. announces the studio has licensed Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 for its upcoming game, “Project Draco” (tentative title). First exhibited at Tokyo Game Show in 2011 and scheduled for release in 2012 by Microsoft Studios on Xbox LIVE Arcade, “Project Draco” is a 3D action game that takes players into the sky on the wings of a dragon, battling a legion of enemies through the power of Microsoft Kinect. The award-winning power of Unreal Engine 3 breathes realistic life into the beautiful scenery and fantasy world of “Project Draco.”
Andriasang writes, "Project Draco went playable at today's Xbox 360 10th anniversary fan event in Akihabara. In addition to attendees getting a chance to go hands-on with the game, they were also given first official word of its new name, Crimson Dragon. The name had previously leaked out through overseas classification boards."
Cool name! Hopefully this game is as good as Panzer was. This is one title people cant bust on for being on rails, as Panzer was on rails with a standard controller back in the day.
Seems like all the best Kinect games are getting released on XBLA.

Anything else would take far longer to make, so you aren't likely to see anything released yet. Keep in mind that CoD (or subsidize with your favorite sequel) takes at least 18-24 months to make based on a well known and established input with existing assets....
It's amazing to me that a year after release, we got plenty of quality titles for Kinect.
I'm really looking forward to trying Crimson Dragon! :D
Kinect and XBLA is a great combo if you ask me.
Now all we need is for MS to give the indie devs the ability to release Kinect games in the indie channel. I bet they could come up with some funky stuff!
I agree the only kinect game I have had any fun with is fruit ninja off XBL. I hope this game is fun.
Well there are different types of games for Kinect and I'm not sure what types of games your into, but I loved The Gunstringer, Fruit Ninja, Haunt(XBLA), Rise Of Nightmares, Kinect Sports, Dance Central and Child Of Eden.
I think those were all solid games for what they were, some of the Kinect Fun Labs stuff can be entertaining as well.
Haha, sounds like Crimson Skies. Damn you Microsoft, why don't you make a sequel to that!
Andriasang writes, "Microsoft is teaming up with Capcom for a Xbox 360 fan event to be held in Akihabara later this month. The big news from this event is that the long awaited Kinect title Project Draco will be playable."
As a big fan of Panzer Dragoon, I cant wait to get hands on or (kinect hands off) time with this game. I have been waiting for an update since Orta on the original xbox
Project Draco is one of my most anticipated Kinect game on XBLA. Cannot wait to see what they are doing with it!
HUGE fan of Panzer Dragoon..In fact I would love an HD collection.
Can't wait for Draco..

The series has been spread way too thin over years and different consoles. An HD collection would fix everything. I hope they include the "saga" game or games if they take the leap.
Having loved Panzer Dragoon I am hopeful this game will capture some of that magic. This is one Kinect game I have had actual anticipation for so lets hope they did a good job with it.
Classic... disagree? What someone hopes they made a bad game? Give me a break. Haters just hate.
XMNR: New screenshots of Project Draco appeared on Thursday along with an announcement from the developer, Grounding Inc, is using the Unreal Engine 3 to create the dragon shooter for the Xbox 360 and Kinect.
Interesting, but plese dont make me hold my arms out the whole time, I beg of you.
Looks really good especially the last shot. This game is going to be the workout of the year when you think about it but still fun.
