SEGA has confirmed that they are working on a new game for the Kinect, which they deem as “original” and “sophisticated”. They believe it will please hardcore gamers more than the current tosh announced for the device. Sega West president was talking to CVG about an idea that could develop into something in late 2011 or early 2012. “They’re sat with their test tubes and bunsen burners and… using the new devices to see what we can do in an original way,” Hayes said.

“We’ve got one good idea and hopefully something will be out the back end of next year, perhaps early 2012, which we think will use the aspects of Kinect a lot more originally and in a more sophisticated way.”

“My guess is when we’re at E3 next year, more of the features of Kinect will be in use by developers… It is a reasonably complicated piece of kit, therefore it’s going to take us longer to use all of those aspects in a game. We’re not going to be able to develop something [for the hardcore] in under a year, which is frankly what we’ve had,” Hayes said.

“Move is probably slightly different because we’ve been involved with that kind of motion control with Wii and to be honest what we did with EyeToy before, so it’s probably easier for Sony to show and deliver more right now,” he continued.
