Kinect game puts players in control of an undead cowboy puppet.
Former Rock Band lead designer Dan Teasdale jumped ship from Harmonix last year to join 'Splosion Man developer Twisted Pixel and start work on a "ridiculously cool new project." Teasdale and Twisted Pixel revealed that project last night: Kinect controlled cowboy puppet shooter, The Gunstringer.
The "Western-themed revenge story" will put players in control of an undead cowboy marionette out to get the posse that put him in the ground. While the concept itself is unique, it's the Kinect-based controls that make this title different. See the below trailer to get an idea how it will work:
"From the start of this project, we've focused on getting across the feel of marionetting a puppet's movement through a 3D world, then mixing that with the fun and mayhem of targeting-focused shooters like Rez," Teasdale wrote on The Gunstringer's developer blog. "One minute you'll be navigating the Gunstringer over tricky ravines or towards secret paths, the next you'll be ducking behind cover to take out a half-dozen clockwork alligators with your six shooter."
It's unclear if The Gunstringer will be an Xbox Live Arcade title or a full retail release. Twisted Pixel said the game is set for release sometime in 2011 and more details will be revealed at PAX East in Boston in March.
