Project Draco will not support controller

[Scott]

“You’re right – it probably could be done physically on a controller if you tried. But that would totally throw off the game balance, difficulty… all that stuff. And it’s not just difficulty and game balance in that sense, but it’s also because all of the game decisions and level designs have been made from the ground up to be able to be enjoyed on Kinect. We have no idea if would be fun if you played on a controller – we couldn’t make any guarantees there. I’m sure really dedicated Panzer fans want to play on a controller, so I understand that feeling, but if I were to make a controller game it probably wouldn’t be this game.”

This is a huge disappointment for me… i don’t play kinect games for more than 10 minutes.

I can’t find the quote, but I recall reading that the levels are quite short. Perhaps longer than five minutes each, but perhaps a half hour play session would let you experience several levels. Is this such a bad thing? Consider other games with short levels, such as the Megadrive Sonic games. You don’t need to play them for hours on end to enjoy them.

agreed. I am too busy to play games which “force” me to play hours anyway, gorgerous games like that are enriching to me and a lot of other creative or otherwise busy people.

disappointment often only reflects ones own selfish interest, not the actual quality. I keep repeating myself there I guess. shuts up

I think what will happen in this case is… i will watch someone play it haha

Even child of eden, i tried it with kinect and got fed up pretty quickly… I love it with the pad. I guess i’m just one of those people that love the game as a game, without the moving around.

Ahhh well
