New Xbox 360 Game Puts Players Right Into Movies
'The Movies' works with Microsoft's Xbox Live Vision camera and tasks gamers with competing in simple mini-games, like trying to swat a bunch of flies on-screen or run in place as quickly as possible. The games themselves aren't too exciting, but they're actually just a ploy to make you do silly motions on-screen. After a series of such challenges, the game takes the video it recorded of all the players and stitches it together into a short movie trailer. At today's press conference held at the annual E3 video games convention, we were shown an example made to look like a '50s monster movie complete with an overgrown iguana, with footage of you and your friends seamlessly integrated into it, no blue-screen required!
It looks like it could be a ton of fun for parties with dramatic-minded participants when it releases sometime this fall. Price wasn't stated, but expected it around the $60 mark including a Vision camera, which isn't a bad deal.
