E3 2012 Rumors & Possible Announcements.


Recommended Posts

Two screenshots for an unannounced Avatar-based motocross game have surfaced on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade blog, PlayXBLA. It's worth noting the image files' titles: They've been labeled as "AMX mystery," which likely points to an Avatar Motocross title for the to-be-announced game.

 

The images come attached to an E3 announcement tease, and tell us very little about the game itself. There are avatars. They ride dirtbikes. Sweet jumps and crazy tricks are apparently present. Exhibit A:

The only other real hint we get about Avatar Motocross is in its second picture, which tells us it's a racing game with either fist-bumping or face-punching. The odds we'll get to smash Avatars in a Road Rash-like fashion is slim, but don't lose hope, friends.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced a new game entitled Harry Potter For Kinect. Developed by Eurocom, the title will be exclusive and available only to Xbox 360 gamers. Details are below.

 

 

 

HARRY POTTER FOR KINECT

COMING THIS AUTUMN, YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY THROUGH THIS EXCLUSIVE GAME ON KINECT

 

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Eurocom will cast a spell among Harry Potter fans of all ages this autumn with the Harry Potter for Kinect videogame exclusively on Kinect™ for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft .

 

Based on all eight Harry Potter films, Harry Potter for Kinect allows players to join Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they embark on an unforgettable journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and beyond. With Kinect’s scanning technology, for the first time ever in a Harry Potter game, players will be able to scan in their own face to create a unique witch or wizard to journey through the adventures of the film.

 

In addition, Kinect’s hands-free and voice recognition capabilities allow gamers to cast spells using physical manoeuvres and by calling out spell names, offering an extraordinary, immersive Harry Potter experience.

 

“Harry Potter for Kinect will engage Harry Potter fans old and new by bringing them into the wizarding world as truly active participants,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Kids and parents will enjoy recreating their favourite Harry Potter adventures, from flying a broomstick in a Quidditch match, to battling pixies and duelling other wizards.”

 

Harry Potter for Kinect gives players the opportunity to experience some of the films’ most memorable moments, both as the relevant characters or as their own avatars, including visiting Ollivanders, choosing a house at Hogwarts, and confronting He Who Must Not Be Named in a climactic final battle. Players who master their lessons can also take on their opponents in competitive mini-games, or join forces with family and friends in co-op gameplay.

^^Thats 25 minutes of the MS conference right there. :giggle:

 

Edit That Motocross game looks boss though. Hopefully its got nothing to do with Kinect (which I am now convinced is poison to any half decent idea) and its a proper spiritual successor to Motocross Madness (f**king LOVED that game).
