Latest Kung-Fu LIVE Trailer Arrives in Time for Comic-Con!

Hi Nintendo451,
the game uses the just the camera (PSEye) from Move. Where as the usual Move games will be focusing on hand based interaction, we are adding kicks and jump kicks broadening the available gameplay experiences for a PS Move owner. You need just the camera to play.

Hi footballrule!
Glad you like! The game will come out later this year (holidays).

Thanks for reading it! You can keep updated about the game through the game’s webpage and/or our FaceBook page (both linked from the story).

As answered above, it needs just the PSEye camera (adding kicks and fullbody interaction for Move/PSEye owners).

Hi Zezzler!
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
Keep updated through the game’s homepage and FaceBook pages.

Yeah, you have a point there.

It is indeed up to 5 people on the same PS3. Only one player will be on camera (inside the game) though (more is a bit risky as they would be easily kicking each other for real). Up to 4 people can control the AI characters with game pads and give the player inside a serious whooping of as#.
There is also local turn based multiplayer for points.

Thanks for the comment, David!
We have actually put quite a bit of effort for making the game skill based, increasingly with difficulty level. On the easiest difficulty you can get away with just pounding like crazy but on the harder difficulty levels its certainly not the winning tactics as the AI will block similar attacks and make counters. There is a combo logic based on looking for windows of opportunity. The game recognizes different ways of ducking, dodging, evading. If you evade the AI’s attack from close range, the enemy is vulnerable for a fast counter attack. Continuing your streak with varied attacks within a short time period raises your combo and makes more damage.

Hi SarshelYam,
thanks for the support!
The team will be happy to hear your comment!

Hi Abzdine,
thanks for your support!

1) You need to be about 8 feet away if you are 6”3. A smaller person needs less distance to fit in. Putting the camera e.g. on a shelf behind the tv lets you be closer to your tv if needed.
The Eye is pretty wide angle. I think 6 to 8 feet is relatively ok.

2) There will be a single player story mode (perhaps most fun to play in turns with a friend though), custom fight mode where you can choose the level and choose which enemies to fight, you can also just act out and rerecord the comics pages you have unlocked if you like, there is local turn based multiplayer modes for competing in points and a simultaneous up-to-5 people multiplayer where up-to-4 people can control the AI characters with gamepads while one person playes on the camera. In addition there are some quick fight modes with different tasks, e.g. a one-on-one mode with ever increasing difficulty.

3) The game supports up-to-5 player simultaneous multiplayer, turn based local multiplayer and single player. About the counter, nothing to announce at this time.

Hi KosmoCrisis!

Good question.
The game employs our own new tech called Freemotion. We have been working on it for 8 years (already before founding of the company) with several computer vision doctorates. The tech supports real-time skeleton tracking and background removal also against more complex backgrounds.

You should have some contrast between you and your background but the background does not need to be uniform. A normal livingroom background should do fine. You can even play in front of a bookshelf. If your background is really dark/black you might want to wear lighter clothes.

And yep, its extracting the player at 30 frames per second.

Many thanks to you for the support and helping me out by some of your answers Cyb3rfr34k!

Ah, no, its the same. There is and will be just one PSEye (the same will be in the Move bundle). I just meant new compared to the old EyeToy on PS2.

We have our own calibration for the camera, which probably helps. I have played the game in rather lightless conditions, also in rooms lit only by light coming from outside behind closed curtains. But I cannot know your conditions. If you have lights in your livingroom I would expect there to be enough.

We would love to do more of these kind of games and are certainly trying to do that. For example, using the PS Move with our tech gives some very tempting possibilities to broaden the available experiences and interactions: fullbody tracking + background removal + 1-on-1 orientation tracked augmented weapons and props + buttons in your hand. But yeah, to some extent it certainly depends on how this one does. We have tons of ideas and concepts listed. Hopefully some of them will become realized.
