Pete Nolan-Smith writes: "Players interact with their games through buttons, joysticks and the occasional light gun. The controller and keyboard has more or less stayed the same since the early days of the industry, attempts at major changes generally don’t sell well or have much lasting power.
Few gamers pine for the days of the Nintendo Power Glove.
Paris’ Hanakai Studio doesn’t think the standard system is immersive enough.
The solution, eliminate the mouse, keyboard and controllers all together."
Here ist the first Unreal Engine 4 in-game trailer for the upcoming action rpg Prodigy.
Doesn't look too bad. I'll need to see a lot more before I can make a decision though.
GF: GamerFitnation interviewed Jean Bey, CEO of Hanakai Studio and creative director of Prodigy, at PAX East in Boston.
Prodigy is a tactical role-playing game that uses a unique board. The board lets players use physical figures to control on-screen actions.
Like Skylanders, there are figures to collect. Unlike Skylanders, players actually move the characters around on the board in order to play.
Andreas Asimakis writes, "Continuing our discussion on our most favorite indie game experiences from PAX East 2014, Matt and I return to gush about three more titles: Dungeon Defenders 2, Prodigy, and Dragon Fin Soup."
