Harmonix bringing the big news to E3
At least one new game to be announced
Harmonix has indicated that they intend to make at least one big announcement at this year's E3.
VP of product development at Harmonix, Greg LoPiccolo has hinted that they will be announcing at least one new IP, potentially for Kinect and almost certainly a motion controlled title.
He began: "Well have at least one bit of significant news at E3."
On what it might be LoPiccolo added: "I guess one thing that a lot of people dont remember is that we sort of did a little foray back in - I think - 2004 when we did Antigrav for EyeToy, which was really fun to develop and we were really happy with the outcome. We learned a lot about sort of the strengths and challenges of motion gaming even at that point, a lot of which we directly applied to the Dance Central development process."
"I think that we see opportunities in motion gaming that we might be uniquely equipped to pursue," he continued, "and so I think we are broadening our scope a little bit in terms of the studio focus to not only encompass music gaming, but also motion gaming, and that may manifest in a lot of different ways. Right now, we actually we have a number of different teams hard at work on different concepts which has been super entertaining and just a lot of fun to work on brand new IP. At some point, some of that stuff will hopefully see the light of day. We're pretty impressed with Kinect as a platform and weve had good success out of the gate with it, but we're certainly not blind to the opportunities that the Wii and the Move present."
