Terminal Reality seeking programmers for ’seriously high-quality’ Natal project

November 5th, 2009 at 01:29pm Under Xbox 360

Wait a minute. Now we’re confused. We thought one of the major development incentives for joining the motion revolution was to conserve resources in the production department. When your players are busy flailing and flapping — surging with euphoric endorphins — they don’t exactly notice that you’ve scaled back on the fancy schmancy rendering and physics; all that excessive cutting edge tech. Heck, they’d barely notice if you repurposed and resold them a game you’d made 5 years ago.

Motion control, man, it’s about getting back to our roots — a simpler time — when games were, like, about connecting with our bodies, you know? So when we caught wind of a job opportunity posted by Ghostbusters developer Terminal Reality and calling for experienced Xbox Live programmers to create “an exciting AAA Natal title,” we were sorta like, whoa, guys, you’re kinda missing the point.

Check this: “If you have a passion to create seriously high-quality action/adventure titles, we’re interested in hearing from you!” Really … passion? That makes it sound like there will be sweat involved — that’s the players’ job now. You guys gotta dial it down, maybe dig up some of that old BloodRayne code, put a little “kick-punch-slap” control in there … Save. Press. Box. Ship. Done.

Lucha libre game coming to America

June 24th, 2009 at 01:31pm Under Wii / Nintendo

If your thirst for over-the-top brawling wasn’t quite quenched by UFC 2009: Undisputed, perhaps you should turn your attention to a fighting style with a bit more Latin flavor — we speak, of course, of the divine art of Lucha libre, featured in the new project from young publisher Slang, titled AAA: El Videojuego (that’s Spanish for “the video game,” dontchaknow). The debut trailer for the game is posted after the jump.

The game’s being developed for Xbox 360 and PS3 by Immersion Software and for Wii, PSP and DS by Argentine developer Sabarasa Studios. The 360 and PS3 versions are due out in late 2009 or early 2010, with all others following shortly thereafter. The game focuses on the action and the stars of the AAA wrestling league — our personal favorite is La Parka, who’s known for his Flying Eagle Kick maneuver, as well as his proclivity for delivering cans of gasoline to stranded motorists.
