Summer Stars with Kinect, Move, Wii & Controller support announced

123KINECT writes: "Summer is coming, and with that new games! One of those is Summer Stars for the Xbox 360 as announced by Deep Silver, today. It seems as though Kinect won't be required with this game as "Summer Stars leaves it up to the players to decide how far they will be physically involved in the gameplay: the game supports traditional arcade-style controls, as well as motion control via Kinect for Xbox 360, PlayStation Move or Wii." This will not necessarily hurt the Kinect support in this game, but could. Let's hope it doesn't."

phoenixwing638d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin638d ago (Edited 638d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref639d ago (Edited 639d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333638d ago (Edited 638d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽
