Hendo Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions – maker of Costume Quest and Stacking - is creating a Kinect-enabled Sesame Street game for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.Really. Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster is described as an "uplifting storybook romp" and an "active, family game". It'll launch this autumn. "In a truly original interactive experience, young players join Cookie Monster, Elmo and other Sesame Street characters as they explore a living storybook titled Once Upon a Monster," reads the excited official blurb. "In the book, they make new zany monster friends from the Once Upon a Monster world and share in their adventures, solving problems, forging friendships and learning key life skills along the way. Parents and children literally become part of the whimsical storybook adventure by getting active together through dancing, jumping, flying and more. " Here's what Psychonauts and Brutal Legend creator Tim Schafer had to say: "It's great to be working with Warner Bros., especially on a game like Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, which brings together so many things we all care about. "Sesame Street had a profound effect on me, and many members of the Double Fine team, when we were children. So did videogames. Now many of us are parents and we want to share with our kids the great experiences we had, but also the completely new ones made possible by cutting-edge technology like Kinect for Xbox 360. So it's a labour of love on many levels." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 when he comes close to the screen in your avatar i swear i can hear him. I think this might sell ok, there's enough cult/kitch value to Sesame Street for it to get some press and impulse buys from gamers. That being said it's very much a wait and see for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm still unsure about the type of user base Kinect has in reality, the families that Microsoft want or latest tech geeks. I hope it's a hit for them, they're due one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
