Child of Eden

On Move and Kinect, might be the only thing to sway most people (to Kinect, at least)

Ubisoft's E3 conference opened today with Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi showing off his brand new game.

It's titled Child of Eden and works with Xbox 360 Kinect. Wearing white gloves, Mizuguchi used his left and right hands to direct a glowing blue reticle around the screen. He appeared to be shooting at swirling, glowing shapes, producing sounds with each hit. Pumping house music played in the background, reaching a crescendo towards the end of the demo.

In other words - yes, it looked and sounded a lot like Rez. In fact, the sound effects sounded exactly like those in Mizuguchi's much-loved previous effort.

At the end of the demo, the title Child of Eden and the slogan "Hope and Happiness" appeared on the screen. Mizuguchi explained to the audience that once again, he is producing a game based around the concept of synaesthesia.

"I adapted this principle to music, shapes and colours for my game," said Mizuguchi. "In association with MIcrosoft and Kinect, we are able to provide a sensory experience."

There was no word on a release date.

This seems like it will work slightly better on Move, rather than just using your hands. It looked kinda weird at the Ubisoft press conference control wise, but visuals and sound were excellent as you would expect.

Actually looks much better than I would have thought. Glad it's got proper controls too, that makes it a must buy (but if the game ships with the white gloves, I'm buying a Kinect* on day one).

*Kinect is such a stupid word to type, it just looks wrong.

I think I'd still rather play it with a pad.

I have this pre-ordered too!

We are the Children of Eden.

it's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve :fist:

I've got a whole bunch of credit at gamestation, I'll be picking it up on friday.

I'm more than happy to play with a controller, but the Kinect controls for this actually sound pretty cool.

You can get a Kinect for about £100 online now, when it gets down to around £50 I'd probably consider getting one to play this with.

Annoyingly though that's not out until september I think

yeah probably to do with money and microsoft, although at the same time i think it's odd that they'd pay for exclusivity on this when they don't seem to be pushing it much. anyone seen any adverts or anything like that? (they have that shop in london i guess)
