ANOTHER Kinect dancing game announced

Universal has announced it will be publishing Dance Paradise, another dancing game for Microsoft's Kinect peripheral.

Dance Paradise joins Harmonix's Dance Central, Konami's Dance Masters and Ubisoft's Michael Jackson: The Experience as the fourth dancing game for Kinect.

Players will able to strut their stuff to 'dance sequences which have been designed for all tastes and all levels'.

Kinect is a Dancing Machine?
this is the 3rd or 4th dance game for Kinect...

[awiseman]

So its only natural that they release yet another dancing game for it. Although Id rather dance than ride office chairs down a street thats just stupid

[8-bit]

I agree with you completely. Good thing Move isn't releasing version after version of Kung fu Rider unlike Kinect with their Dance off games.

Kinect games are resorting to shovelware even before the launch titles hit the streets.

[darthv72]

There was this tv show based of japanese show. It was called hole in the wall. They could set the game up to make the person have to turn and twist their body to fit through the geometrical shapes in a wall that moves towards the player.

The show was a bit hokey but turned into a game would be somewhat fun to play.

apparently this guy is "Hella Good 4 stars" according to Kinect.

so i does not recognize movements correctly

[Chubear]

er, no.

It may execute better than most of what we've seen so far but it's still kinda "off". It doesn't do dance games "properly" but rather better than it does other games.

There many vids that show this.

[Bigpappy]

How do you encourage non dancers to try dancing if you keep flashing "FAIL" in their faces. You attemp at spin is lacking.

[Windex]

there is no easy setting.
It's just an easy dance song.

It means the moves are very simple to follow.

Has nothing to do with kinect going easy on you.

If it cant even recognize the simplest moves correctly, i wonder how it will work on harder moves.

and the guy doesnt even dance and kinect goes "perfect.. perfect... fantastic...."

[Anton Chigurh]

We will see Pole Dancing Kinect Edition.

[TheOldOne]

That made me LOL.

I think that sort of game should preform better with Move and it's color changing glowing ball. Usually strip clubs are dark. The only problem i see is strapping a Move on each arm and leg. Now that would make you look like a glowing champion on speed. ;)

[Anton Chigurh]

You sounds like a very talented person in Pole Dancing so , can you please show us how to do that bro ??

Thanks in advance ;)

[bjornbear]

LOL
we'd see a Pole peripheral with that for sure =O impossible to grind against air...<_<

@ k-lan

=| that was a very sad display of butthurtness...where's Move mentioned here?
seriously...so cheap and uninspired...

[AceofStaves]

I wonder how these dance titles will differentiate themselves from each other. Will it be a case of 'played one Kinect dance title, played them all?'

That being said, Kinect certainly adds much-needed diversity to the 360 software library.

[TheOldOne]

kinect adds shovelware to the 360's software library imo.
id rather have more shooters than kinect dancing games on my 360.

[AceofStaves]

Good for you. That doesn't change the fact that there's nothing wrong with any console maker expanding its library, and its appeal, beyond any particular segment of its audience.

I don't get the hate for the software. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If the games suck, they'll flop, but at least give the company props for trying to make the console known as more than an FPS or sports title machine.

[8-bit]

@Ace - While I agree to an extent that expanding to the casual market broadens the userbase and adds variety.. Kinect seems to be limited to just that, casual experiences. Those kind of games are not for me. Between Kinect and Move the choice is as obvious as it could possibly be. I play games like LBP, Killzone, Socom, RE5 and so on.

[lowcarb]

And I play those types of games perfectly well with my regular game controller.

[facelike]

I'm just anticipating the country line dance Kinect game. That one's going to be a big hit.

[beardpapa]

they're gonna milk these dance games like they do guitar hero + dlc. Dance Central Lady Gaga edition. Dance Central Aguilera. Dance Master HipHop remix. Ubisoft's Justin Bieber Collection. etc

[LeeRoyJenkins]

Girls will love Kinect. I will throw Kinect dance parties everynight of the week.

[Troll_Police]

And you still won't get any.

[awiseman]

kinect will we a good party hoster mcuh like the wii was and like move is doing right now. Ur just mad cuz kinect will be doing it alongside your precious move.

[Christopher]

I've been to a ton of parties over the last five years, and absolutely none of them have had video games being played at them. Not even by the kids. Drinking, dancing, various games, but no Wii, PS3, or 360.

[CandyCaptain]

So is this confirmation Lee Roy is a PedoBear? ^.^

[DigitalRaptor]

The future of gaming RIGHT THERE! xD

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Now we just need one from Activision, Codemasters, Capcom, Disney, Square Enix and etc and we should be dancing until our feet fall off :)

By the way, I'm STILL waiting for that Ballerina game!

[mrv321]

Natal within a year with HAVE more Dancing games than 360 has...

[Hideo_Kojima]

Within a year there will be more Kinect Dancing games than normal 360 games.

[DelbertGrady]

It's gonna be bigger than karaoke. Wait and see.

[asyouburn]

to just dance.

[Solid_Snakeps3]

how about Masterchief Dancin' Central?

[Rockstar]

That will be paid DLC

[divideby0]

kick the ballie and dance games.. no wonder I aint interested in Kinetic this year...

[Pennywise]

There is no way I will support MS in their quest to causalize gaming.

The only think Kinect will lead to is games like this and making my favorite hobby even easier. It can not get anymore simplistic with these whiny babies needing regenerating health, endless continues, and simple dumbed down controls. Kinect will lead to even worse things...

I own a PSeye. It sat there not plugged in for well over a year because the games suck. Only time I used it was to video chat once in a blue moon. If they didn't add the move controllers and they werent so accurate, I would never use the eye again. So you guys just enjoy Kinect. You better hope it doesnt take over, because if it does... our favorite hobby's demise has begun.

[tiamat5]

And the variety continues. I can see it now. What game do you want to play on Kinect? The dance game, the dance game, the dance game, the touch the invisible animal game, the jump game, the ugly awkward racing game, the same crappy Sonic Rider game with no controller, the run in place game,the fight awkwardly game or the on rails HP game.Take your pick. They all sound wonderful

[lowcarb]

What's interesting is the fact that Kinect is getting much support and different kinds of exclusive support. If the device actually does work (which has yet to be seen)then Kinect might just be something to look out for.

[madpuppy]

woah....hardcore... blah

[Neko608]

That the next one will be Halo: Dancing Evolved?

I hear The Arbiter has some wicked moves.

[btk]

And then Halo dance Reach(ing)

[btk]

MS definition of a "new Platform"
- dancing and fitness camera minigames

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

Dancing with the stars the game, and Dance your fat ass off the game.

[nobiggy]

to be fair move will be getting its fair share of crap, like that mel b fitness rubbish.

[GuruStarr78]

YESSSS!

one more reason to NOT buy Kinect!

Make a Pole-dancing game; and I might be swayed to get it for my woman.

[RELAX]

ONLY japans game company has something intresting games for kineckt that i gona buy.
