Quick Look: PowerUp Heroes

I have the power!

Hell yeah

Yes

No One Man should have all that Johnny Gat Mask, or something

Jeff is so boss at this.

FIREBALL FIREBALL FIREBALL.

I know this has been true for, like, forever. But why are all the greenscreen videos flipped?

Woo!

When Kinect was launched I felt like it was going to be the Virtua Boy of our generation. That hasn't changed.

I wish this game was a part of a bigger game. Of all thing things I've seen on the Kinect, this is the first that I've wanted to try out.

I am thankful for Giant bomb on this day.

and Kinect...

only in so much as watching Jeff and Ryan poke fun at it.

I want this at EVO.

@Hamst3r: "raise your right hand" -raises left-

This is my problem with it, is that it doesn't match up.

as repetitive as this would probably get, i would buy this if i had kinect, looks real fun, with maybe a tiny bit more depth than you initially see

LOAD FASTER!

Wow Jeff kicked ass....nice

Gotta admit, the idea of a kinect turn based fighter kinda works, and can work with an rpg as they mentioned. Surprising given how it looks at first glance.

Yeah this is kind of alright.

I think Ryan is crazy to say that rabbids looked better than this. Rabbids was just some minigames all menus and loading screens away from each other.

great proof of concept this does look like the future of video games take that kevin butler

This looks like it's just a few steps away from being a cool Avatar: The Last Airbender Kinect game.

@cavemantom:

Now that that idea is in my head and I know it will never come to be, I kind of hate you.

I will buy 2 of this if it was a DBZ game, trowing Kamehamehas is now a reality.

@whistlebottom: same here man.

@AngelN7:

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the Wii. It is wonderful.

I dunno holding a wii-mote seems kinda week but I can totally see a pretty fun and stupid Dragon Ball game made out of this thing hell you can even throw Genkidamas!.

Vinny would love this...KAMEHAMEHA!

Lol Kamehameha!! YES!

Hmm...

Why are the YouTube vids rendered in 720p now?

I'm surprised at how not horrible this looked! Make a DBZ game out of this tech and I'd be sold.

this actually seems kind of cool, yeah. colour me surprised!

@Canteu @Hamst3r I agree with Canteu, it does look very strange and I'll never get past it. Never ever.

This is on the right track for a kinect game, if the kinect were just more responsive it'd make a big difference. 1 or 2 generations from now these games are going to be a -lot- better.

After 10 minutes of playing Ryan seriously feels confident talking out his impressions like valid criticism.

Guys. There's an Ezio suit.

This seems interesting other than the uneven tech experience. That seems par for the course for Kinect right now, which is too bad. It was probably too much to expect something so crazy new to work perfectly out of the gate; hopefully cool ideas like this see more use in the future.

I'm not adverse to this game. Been eying a Kinect bundle for a couple of weeks now.

720p for the Youtube version am I missing something?

Well this is where Kinect games shine, when it doesn't expect you to do more than stand still. What they need to do though is actually make a real game for the Kinect, even though the Kinect is a success the games just seem like developers are just half dipping their feet into the pool.

edit: actually looking at the game sales numbers maybe it isn't a success. I know a lot of people have a Kinect, but if all the games are bombing that doesn't say much.

I disagree, moving on!

720p for the Youtube version am I missing something?

Seriously, this looks awesome! Especially the kamehameha/haduoken thing.

This is kinda awesome. I'd play this.

The video is mirrored, thats why left and right stuff is weird for us viewers.

There's something hilarious about Ryan doing the two stage fireball motion

This game has more Johnny Gat than Saints Row The Third does. =(

This doesn't look half-bad, actually.
