Zombie Studios making Unreal Engine 3 shooter for Kinect
Internet detective Superannuation has discovered that Zombie Studios is apparently working on a unannounced rail-based “Zero Person Shooter” for Kinect.
Two resumes were stumbled upon regarding the game – one of an C++ Programmer and another of a Lead Game/Level Designer, both of which mention the project.
The unnamed C++ programmer’s resume states that the project has been in development for five months now and is a single player only title.
The second resume, which is of a guy named Richard Dormer just states that he is working as the Lead Game/Level Designer for the game, which he cites as being a “To be announced console title” for Xbox 360 Kinect made using UE3.
Expect this to be announced during Microsoft’s E3 conference and yes, they’ve already started teasing about their conference at the event.

Another on-rails Kinect game. If no one stops Microsoft, the next generation of core games is on-rails.

I had to play SAW II. It was even worse than part 1.
I had to play Blacklight. It was… uhm… okay. In some ways.
Now they go railways. I make a bet: this game will… errr… not suck, but kinda that way.

#5 On-rails shooters are NOT core games. They are only interactive sequences without AI interacting to your actions, limited gameplay options and non existing replay value. On-rails was cool in the first Time Crisis era, but even back then it got boring after a few levels.

@7 I think it means their is no representation of yourself on screen. No floating gun.

@5,
You know, when people say “we want core games!”, it’s generally implied that they also mean “we want GOOD core games!” Why would ANYONE asking for core games be expected to be satisfied with shitty on-rails shooters, I ask you?
