EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: thegunstringer
While the awesome Texas-based Xbox 360 developer (née indie developer) Twisted Pixel assures us that the team is hard at work on its next original game, new details have today been released regarding add-on content for the studio’s excellent Kinect title, The Gunstringer, with debut screenshots and a lively trailer included.
The good Major Nelson, bringer of all things awesome and pure to do with Xbox, recently sent out a heads-up to all prospective Xbox LIVE Marketplace browsers to let us know what Xbox LIVE Arcade content we can expect to appear this Wednesday, December 14th - this list is jam-packed!
This weekend is a little bit different to any we’ve dealt with this year. First of all, Saturday is Heritage Day in South Africa, as well as National Braai Day, so we’ll be reflecting on our roots and cooking up a storm to celebrate!
Also, it’s the last weekend before rAge 2011 kicks off on September 30th in Johannesburg next week, and there’s still a bit of preparation work to be done before we’re set and ready for our showing at the event.
We’ll be at Stand 28, so if you’re in the area and want to see the latest games and gadgets, and you want to snag a bunch of prizes with El33tonline, stop by and say hi!
But that’s next weekend. What are members of El33tonline busy with this weekend?
Twisted Pixel’s latest awesome game, The Gunstringer, is now available in North America for Xbox 360 and Kinect, and launches later this week around the rest of the world to provide us with all of the undead cowboy marionette shooting action we can handle.
An undead marionette? Who is also a from-the-hip shooting cowboy? On Kinect?
We’re going to need to back up for a second before watching that launch trailer, folks.
The Gunstringer is definitely one of the most interesting and entertaining games I’ve ever played on Xbox 360. Filled with wacky humour and boasting an attractive, cartoony visual style, it’s a game which is all about having fun in front of your Kinect.
Microsoft held its annual Play Day at the Vulkanhalle in Cologne, Germany earlier today. The event kicked off with a look into the publisher’s line-up of games that will be showcased at this year’s gamescom event.
You’ve by now no doubt heard of The Gunstringer for Xbox 360 and Kinect, the next highly unique title from indie studio Twisted Pixel (Comic Jumper, Ms. Splosion Man) that enables you to control the game’s platform and shooting action using nothing but your own hand and body movements
You may have also heard of a game called Fruit Ninja Kinect, which similarly allows you to take advantage of some controller-free gaming, only in this game you’ll be slicing up a variety of flying fruit by swiping and swinging your hands in the air.
How are these two games related? Not only do they both use Kinect, but you’ll be able to buy both of them in a single bundle this September for an excellent price.
When indie developer Twisted Pixel (Splosion Man, Comic Jumper) first announced and showed off its creative and inventive Kinect-powered Xbox 360 game, The Gunstringer, we were highly intrigued by this title and how the studio would take advantage of the benefits of controller-free gaming, while continuing to deliver a signature Twisted Pixel experience.
Now, thanks to today’s Microsoft Showcase event where Twisted Pixel is giving attendees hands-on time with The Gunstringer, we’ve been sent a handful of new screenshots for the game to get a better idea of what kind of action is included.
Twisted Pixel (Comic Jumper, Splosion Man), has just gone and announced the studio’s next title in the form of ‘The Gunstringer’ for Xbox 360 Kinect, an action game with elements of an arcade light-gun shooter.
In the game, you play as the titular ‘The Gunstringer,’ a skeleton cowboy character that you’re able to manipulate and control with your hands, like a puppeteer, using the Kinect for motion recognition.
