Rare: Kinect can do 'so much more' than Wii
Rare boss sings high praise about Microsoft's motion controller
According to the creative director of British dev studio Rare, Microsoft's upcoming motion controller Kinect is capable of "so much more" than Nintendo's gesture-based Wiimote.
In fact, the enhanced capabilities of Kinect is what drove Rare to develop a sports title for the peripheral. "We wanted to compete head-on with Wii Sports," creative director George Andreas told Wired. "We knew we could do so much more with Kinect than you could with Wii."
Rare's title, Kinect Sports, will launch alongside the Kinect controller next month. It features more than five engaging sports mini-games, ranging from football to bowling.
Andreas isn't the only UK developer to speak so highly of Kinect. Last month, Microsoft Games Studios' Peter Molyneux said Nintendo's console isn't as big of a step forward as Kinect.
