Eurogamer:
Microsoft kart racer ditches Kinect for second outing.
A sequel to critically-savaged Kinect effort Joy Ride launches on Xbox Live Arcade soon, Microsoft has announced, and this time around it's ditched the motion controls.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Joy Ride Turbo is a kart racing game from developer Big Park. It was released on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 back in 2012. It is now available on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One. Let’s try it out!
Neil writes: "There should never be a refusal to acknowledge free stuff, and with the Xbox Games With Gold scheme the free games and experiences have come in multiple forms over the years. But as the Xbox Game Pass slowly tightens its grip on the gaming world, the power and prestige of the Games With Gold scheme has diminished. Surely though with Star Wars and Sherlock Holmes games going free throughout November 2019, the draw and appeal should be huge again?"
Maybe it will be fun this time?
This is how the first game was supposed to be, it was supposed to use a controller and if I remember correctly it was supposed to be free but then MS changed it to a kinect only title
Ripoff!!! Mario Kart did this first!!!111
/jk :)
HA!
MS was absolute idiots for making the first Kinect only. They could of had a decent racer and a good lasting new xbl up. Now hardly anyone cares.
Ouu, there is chance that MS going to changer their kinect-only strategy?
