Motion-controlled rail shooter Blue Estate coming to Xbox One

4.4
HESAW, developer of the on-rails, motion-controlled shooter Blue Estate, is well aware that a Kinect is bundled in every Xbox One owner's purchase. The studio is bringing its adaptation of Viktor Kalvachev's comic book series to the gesture-friendly console, noting in a press release that they'll be using the "unprecedented accuracy and precision of Kinect" to let players rack up kill combos.

News of the Xbox One port follows last month's reveal of a PS4 version, which will be controlled with the gyroscopic abilities of the Dualshock 4 instead instead of camera-tracked hand movements.

Fans of the comics may be all set, but our own Jess Conditt wrote that the game has a "natural ability to turn sexiness into exploitation, humor into humiliation and my own enjoyment into exasperation." Beyond that, Jess' review found Blue Estate to be structurally troubled, wondering if the audience is to "forgive poor gameplay mechanics because the game is supposed to be crass."

This game actually looks pretty cool. Now, if I just had an Xbox One. Lol

NBC It looks pretty cool, especially as someone who has the kinect plugged in, but doesn't use it for anything except voice control, and I could live without that I'm just to lazy to get up and grab my controller to pause Netflix.


This kinda sounds like me, why move when you can shout at your console?

-LOST- I don't see why they can't just create a controller that works with the kinect.


That kind of defeats the purpose of a kinect.

Then it would be a Wii..

Unless you want to wear a full Motion Cap suit.


That'd actually pretty cool with this game.

I would! Sports games and shooter games would be good then, but that would cost a lot and you probably would need a massive room too.
