Stay Dead, New ‘Motion Picture’ Game Released

BRUCEfilm is an Italian video games and film producer who has decided to combine their two different aspects into one, with what they call a Motion Picture Game. Instead of controlling a CGI character on the screen you actually control a person.

Stay Dead is their first motion picture release, with an arcade fighter experience. There are over 150 techniques that you can utilise over five different levels. It’s like a combination of an action movie and an arcade fighter, with the people within the movie controlled by you.

While there are some issues that will probably come up with the game, and it might get annoying over time to see the same sequences, but this is certainly an innovative idea and worth a look at. You can see more about the game and download it at their site for $9.85 HERE.

What do you guys think? Is this an interesting idea that you would want to try out? Or do you think it’s just a fad that won’t translate as well into a game?

The trailer features live-action shots mixed with in game shots of new assassin Conner doing his thing.

Kingdom Hearts 3D is nearly here, and Aussies and New Zealanders alike can now rest easy knowing that an official release date has came their way. On July 26th, Dream Drop Distance will hit the platform down under, marking the debut of La Cité des Cloches (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and The Grid from Tron as visitable worlds within the Kingdom Hearts series.

Of course there is much more than those locations for players to look forward to, as Sora and friends will all be back for a brand new tale which is looking fantastic. Those of you in North America can expect the game to “drop” a few days later when it hits shelves on July 31st.

Ouya: The $99 Console Powered by Android

The spark that may light a fire in indie game development has a funny name but should be taken seriously. The Ouya concept is a $99 console that will run on Android. According to a post on Angel List, any developer will be able to publish their work and it will be accessible on the Ouya platform. This means that Android game developers will no longer be restricted to fitting their games into a smartphone or tablet, now they can create games for hardcore gamers playing at home on a TV using a controller instead of virtual buttons on a touch screen. Not only that, but the games will be inexpensive if not free which is more than enough reason for all of the broke gamers out there to use this console.

If you’re looking for proof that Ouya is a serious endeavor, consider the people behind it; Julie Uhrman, formerly a Digital Distribution VP of IGN Entertainment, now the founder and CEO of Ouya. Yves Béhar is onboard as an advisor and possibly designer. His current role is the Chief Creative Officer of Jawbone, a company that specializes in wearable technology and more recently portable speakers. Ed Fries is also behind the project and is known for his work as VP of Game Publishing for Microsoft during the days of the original Xbox.

I’m sure we will be seeing more on the Ouya very soon. Whether or not to get excited about a cheap game console that will massively support indie gaming and possibly change the way the console market works is up to you.
