This is definitely one of the best Kinect titles available. If anyone is interested, yes you can play the game sitting down and its really responsive. Also, the game is very tongue in cheek and has a lot of adult oriented humor.

"This is definitely one of the best Kinect titles available."

I keep hearing you guys say how good this game is but none of you actually bought it according to sales.

IM_KINECTED4420d ago

Are you privy to some sort of insider sales numbers? If so please enlighten us all.

It seems to have sold well enough to spark Microsoft to purchase Twisted Pixel and add them to their stable of first party developers.

I bought the game the first day it came out, one of the best experiences I've had with Kinect is with The Gunstringer.

I would recommend it to anyone with a Kinect.

StrongMan4420d ago (Edited 4420d ago )

According to VGChartz it barely sold 300k, like 99% of Kinect games. If you have a better source I'm all ears.

Trust me, if it sold well MS would let us know.

I always said that MS should have purchased Twisted Pixel way back when they made MS Splosion Man.

Not sure what they have been up to lately, but I loved the humor found in their games.

Vits556d ago

They have been basically a VR studio for the last half a decade or so.

coolbeans556d ago (Edited 556d ago )

But MS actually *DID* purchase them close to Ms. Splosion Man's release. Later, both parties came to a mutual split around the mid-2010s and Twisted Pixel moved their attention to VR.

gangsta_red556d ago

I believe you're right! I vaguely recall a story a while back of them parting ways. I probably left a comment here on N4G way back of how disappointed I was to hear it.

darthv72556d ago

Meta is getting kind of serious about ramping up their gaming division it seems.

crxss555d ago

that's literally every business right now

Christopher555d ago

@crxss: yeah.... The article says that too. But doing this sort of adjustment isn't at all good and especially in the specific arena of Meta's VR teams.

Star51556d ago

Oh they mean business. This should be interesting

Outside_ofthe_Box555d ago

Oh no. We need Microsoft to look at what Meta is aiming to purchase so that they can buy 'em before Meta can so that they can save us from Facebook.

ApocalypseShadow555d ago (Edited 555d ago )

Lol. But in all seriousness. Companies better start looking, or should I say, should have been looking years ago in getting VR developers that are already knowledgeable in VR. I always thought Sony should have been looking at Survios. They can crank out multiple types of games at a decent quality. With help and more time to cook, they could really be a great catch. And not rush things.

Camouflaj did well in working around PS Moves lack of 360 tracking. Shows initiative and creativity. Twisted is a good catch too. Armature did what Capcom is already capable of doing. So, I'm not as impressed with that one.

But it took Facebook long enough. Pushing music DLC and Ready at Dawn not making anything yet for Quest wasn't going to work for long. The race is on and let the competition begin.
