Kung-Fu Live for PS3: You Are the Controller
http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/tmakipatola/Hey dudes! I’m really excited to let you all know that our new
game Kung-Fu
Live is coming to the PSN
Store later this year! It’s a unique fighting adventure that uses
the PlayStation
Eye and our internally developed tech to create an experience like
never before.
As some of you may have heard, we announced Kung-Fu Live with a
playable sneak preview last week in New York. The reception from
journalists, as well as gamers, has totally overwhelmed us! We also
found ourselves in the middle of the rising motion gaming discussion as
many of the stories call out that our game already does what Natal is
trying for: Kung-Fu Live uses full-body skeleton tracking to track the
player’s moves in real-time. Thus, people have been saying that our game
and tech using the PlayStation
Eye is stealing the thunder from Natal. LOL!
With our Freemotion technology and the awesome quality of the
PlayStation Eye camera, full-body motion gaming is already here. Kung-Fu
Live also scans you inside the game world where you literally become
the hero of the game. There you are boosted with super human abilities,
such as being able to jump flips without actually making flips, do high
jump kicks, shoot lightning from your hands, and so on. Oh yeah, not to
mention that you can do The Matrix trick of slowing the speed of your
opponents’ time while you kick their asses.
So toss away the gamepad for a change and experience what it’s like
to be Jackie Chan (no real martial art skills needed): Punch, kick, jump
and pummel your enemies into oblivion using your body as your only
weapon. I can’t wait to show you guys more of Kung-Fu LIVE, but for now,
check out the teaser trailer above for a glimpse of the kick-ass action
we have in store.
Feel free to post questions here about the game, I’ll try to answer
them as best I can.
P.S: For legal purposes, I have to add a small disclaimer: Freemotion
technology can make you extremely fit — just by playing a video game!
Any resulting six packs are unintentional.
I lost about four pounds
in four days playing the game for an hour a day. For once, I’m ready
for the beach before the summer starts!
