Double Fine’s Next Game Comes Out on February 1

Double Fine Happy Action Theater arrives on Xbox Live Arcade next month.

No Caption Provided

It’s a good week when I can report the release date for a new Double Fine Productions game.

The studio has been putting out new games consistently over the past two years, and that trend will continue on February 1, as the Kinect-fueled Double Fine Happy Action Theater has now been dated.

The date was announced on Twitter by ye ol’ studio head Tim Schafer. The price point isn't known yet.

“Better achieve your life's goals asap,” he said, “because come 2/1 your priorities will change.”

I’m on it, Tim.

Either most of you like motion controlled shovelware or your blinded by the fact double fine is making it. This is going to be crap. Kinect is awful. The only redeeming thing about it is dance central. And if you say other wise, try to convince me that going 9 feet back and waving like a crazy person is easier and more convenient than using a controller.

Nobody expects this to be awesome. Anyone expressing excitement over it probably listened to the discussion about it on the Bombcast -- it's just a stupid thing. It's a product that revels in the stupidity and ineptitude of the Kinect. Nobody expects it to be good, they expect it to be entertaining.

But is it really a game? Like, what is this thing?

It's a bunch of silly mini games designed for drunk people at parties.

We're all familiar with the Kinect, Weegie, what about this game?
