Quick Look: EX: The Gunstringer

This is not a slight against the work they're doing at Twisted Pixel because the game looks cool but even the most competent Kinect game looks broken as fuck.

@gladspooky: I agree, and I think that unfortunately an awful lot of wasted time and money has gone into this "motion-control" crap without any relevant payoff. Motion control is a joke.

This looks like the first Kinect title that looks REALLY fun! Too bad I don't have the room for a Kinect. =(

It looks competent like the original Crash Bandicoot was. The tech is still in its infancy much like 3D games were then.

I am seriously considering getting a Kinect for this game.

This. Also Dance Central 2.

If I received a free Kitenct somehow, I would totally buy this game, looks really good all things considered.

Still not forking over any amount of money for a Kitect though.

This would be an ace third person controller based shooter.
 
Kinect fails...

I still don't see the appeal of the control scheme, game doesn't look too bad though

A really fun Quick Look EX.

That looked like an indie title, not doublefine quality.

edit: never mind that's twisted pixel. My father's been in the hospital so my train of thought has been derailed lately. My apologies to doublefine for confusing you with twisted pixel.

Ugh, that guy from Twisted Pixel looks terrible too, definitely not retail quality hair there.

Played this demo on a lark and was totally surprised by how good it felt. Definitely picking this one up.

the art looks inconsistent and messy.

This looks horrible. Really, really bad.

WOW this game looks freaking awesome! To bad I don't have my 360 anymore or else I would totally get out and buy a Kinect and this game.

I gotta say, this looks like it could be pretty great. The art style is great and the graphics look fine (to me).

Love reading all the vitriolic comments from the Kinect trolls.

Awesome QL guys. Gunstringer would make me go out and buy a Kinect if I had enough room.

@AnotherSomebody: Yeah i got that feeling aswell. Didnt feel like me playing it made any diffrence wave your hand and around yank it up to fire. Move listfully left and right. Nah not fun.

These games will never be for me, but my 4-year old gets a kick out of it. That being said, I'm glad that there are developers who are trying to make Kinect relevant.

Seemed like Comic Jumper for the Kinect as far as the trial game is concerned. Mind you, I watched someone else play it. Also, I hated playing Comic Jumper.

I get a serious Wild Guns vibe from some of those shootout segments.

This is a good thing.

Fuck the Kinect. Long live Twisted Pixel. 

Too bad I will never own a Kinect!

This game looks pretty cool. If I had a kinect I would get this game.

Looks pretty awesome...he also controls the game with ease

I would pay any amount of money for Ryan to surprise me with his presence at a random point.

I want Alex to rate my performance in every game. Is that possible?

Twisted Pixel hates Phish. I knew my confidence in them was well-placed.

@Buzzkill: Doublefine? It's developed by Twisted Pixel I thought.

The mighty Beard engine sure is flexible.
I would totally get this if I had a 360 and a kinect.

A lot of mixed judgments in the comments but I think this game looks like a ton of fun.

No thanks

The game does look nice, but watching it i´m thinking, "Why could they just not made it for a controller?

This looks absolutely amazing. I can't even believe so many people are hating on it in the comments. Oh wait, yes I can, some idiots just love to troll everything Kinect.

I finally got a Kinect because of games like this and Rise of Nightmares; before now I just couldn't see enough stuff to bother.

that was awesome. this is the only reason i would ever want a kinect

@veXedbulldog: Was the Double fine Muppets game for kinect as well?

wow..so first they go full retail..which means more $$..and they limit it to kinect only? 
 
so first they go greedy then shoot themselves in the foot by limiting their audience. 
 
and the game looks terrible to boot.

They told the Gunstringer origin story before. Did Ryan forget that they talked about it at a EA podcast?

Haha at the Alex Navarro, and commentary fanservice! Twisted Pixel and Double Fine seem like the coolest developers.

sorry, this looks bad

This game is worth the $40 for the greenscreen footage ALONE. We haven't seen a game loaded with so much awesome content since The Orange Box.

Really bummed that this is a Kinect only title, I'm considering buying it and just finding a friend who has a Kinect and play it there. 

I wish this didn't require Kinect.

Looks like more greatness from Twisted Pixel.

Really a shame that it requires Kinect.

Polish?

Wow..

Wow, I had so many doubts about this game but if I ever get a Kinect this will be the first thing I buy.

sorry, this looks bad
