One of the most exciting games at this year's Tokyo Game Show has been Project Draco, an on-rails Kinect shooter that looks a lot like Panzer Dragoon, but with more colorful visuals and light RPG/dragon breeding aspects.
If the Australian Classification Board is to be trusted, the upcoming Kinect shooter Project Draco now has the final name of Crimson Dragon. The game, which is being developed by Grounding, features the mechanic of riding a crimson coloured dragon, which lends credence to this ratings board revelation.
@Cleaverslips writes for @XG247: It’s been almost one year since the ability to make a fool of yourself in your front room without a controller came into our lives. The Kinect has had some detractors but certainly some fans. Super hit Child of Eden hit a mark but left us hungry. Fitness Evolved gave us another excuse not to go to the gym, and Kinect Fruit Ninja is a purchase you should have already made. So here, with Xbox Live Arcade in the mix, are XG 24/7’s top five games that we’re looking forward to for the Kinect.

Things on a Move eh? Yo upstairs, you forgot to mention *smirks* Blackwater. That trailer is HOT!
dont forget about power up heroes thats looking promising does that count as hardcore?
Announced at last years Tokyo Game Show, Project Draco is from much of the team behind the cult classic Panzer Dragoon series. And from the brief concept trailer we were shown last year, it was clear that Draco would be a spiritual successor to Dragoon of some kind, largely dealing with dragon combat.
This year the game has been fully demonstrated to the press. As expected, Project Draco looks to be largely "Panzer Dragoon Kinect", with elements of a virtual pet game.
This is one game that has found a use for kinect's tech that fits within it's limitations and does not try to force things onto the device it just isn't cut out for (like star wars does, resulting in a mostly on rails experience). Controlling a dragon can be done with slow sweeping motions that will not be affected by any input lag. I'm curious to see how well shooting will hold up though. None the less, it's the first "core" Kinect title I've seen that I haven't instantly dismissed as "it could be done better on another console". Since I love dragon combat to begin with, this one's worth keeping an eye on. I think more kinect devs should take a page from their book.
They make a game were you can play as a dragon for kinect........now thats just teasing me.
Im so sick of playing games as the "heroic humans". Let me be the anti hero or bad guy in a game, theres a big shortage of that.
This sounds really cool. I'll have to see some gameplay before the excitement kicks in.
I'm surprised this is an XBLA title, I thought this would be a full retail release. It looks great for an arcade game though.
another one that haves is fate seal,just like rise of nightmares.Not putting support for the default 360 control will rend poor sales to this title since some people simply cant stand kinect over default 360 control,not to mention kinect owners are just 10% and its not a game like this that will make hardcore gamers buy this kinect.
Too much kinect stuff, the support is great for those who enjoy it but ive not got kinect so where does that leave me.....apart from burning guys on gears. "Available now in the uk from cex stores for 50quid"
