Child of Eden Wowed the Crowd at PAX
One of the most impressive games shown at PAX was called Child of Eden, published by Ubisoft. The game is a rhythm-based motion adventure centralized on shooting flying objects with your hands.
Child of Eden
Running on an Xbox 360 Kinect system, the game gathered huge crowds due to its intense use of colors and particle effects. The gameplay is simple: you use your hand (sometimes both hands) to guide a reticle around the screen and shoot down certain colorful object. The game rewards you with an endless supply of explosions and psychedelic colors.
Ubisoft is accepting pre-orders for Child of Eden but the game won’t be out until sometime in June.
lmao, good 1! i agree, lame as...
what's so awesome about it?....i think it's simple just like all the console playing crowd....
I guess you did not notice the huge lag from the guy's motion to the movement on the screen. Plus that game will get boring very fast. Leave it to the console crowd to not only dumb down graphics and game play, but now we have dumbed down expectations for games.
And, you won't get no sore arms after playing this game for a prolonged time?
The guy seems to hail hitler every 5 seconds of the vid.
It'll make millions...
I think that's true about Kinect - dumbing down expectations for games, not consoles in general. This is Kinect's... big chance.. to have a successful game since launch. I don't think so though.
Still, I love all the fanboy comments around though - good for a laugh.

Hey dumbasses, that video is from almost A YEAR AGO and the lag issues have been fixed now. Plus all you morons talking about lag don't have a clue anyway, even joypad based games have lag and Kinect games lag is about the same as an average 30pfs game played on a joypad, FACT! (The average 30fps game played with a joypad has around 133ms lag and the absolute minimum a 30fps game played with a joypad can have is 100ms. Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports have about 150ms lag which is imperceptibly different to 133ms and they are just launch games. To put 150ms in perspective, it's half a blink of an eye.) Also those people claiming this looks crap obviously don't know that this is basically a sequel to the critically acclaimed Rez, or they're just pathetic Kinect hating trolls scared of one of the biggest revolutions in videogaming. Actually, they're probably BOTH!
You're the one who's dumbed down if you can't figure out the potential of Kinect. Then again you probably can't even handle Kinect's casual games so more complex games must terrify you, lol! I hope this game is successful and it deserves to be (no, I haven't played it but I've played Rez and I seriously doubt Tetsuya Mizuguchi would screw this up) but it's hardly Kinect's big chance for a successful game since launch since there are loads of games coming out. The only reason there haven't been many recently is because they were all delayed. (Including Child Of Eden, which was supposed to be released by now.) There are almost 10 million Kinect owners waiting for new games so I'm not too worried about sales figures for future games.
