Blackwater
505 Games has revealed a new modern shooter that will play with either Kinect or a traditional controller.
The newly announced Blackwater will follow the private security company through a fictional story about a team of Blackwater operators protecting a North African town.
The unusual and interesting takeway with Blackwater is how players will be able to use Kinect to play the entire experience, from moving around the field to aiming and firing your weapon. Players can also use a standard controller.
No visuals have released for the game yet, but it will be interesting to see if the team developing the game at Zombie Studios can make a robust shooter without the need for buttons or sticks. We have to admit to being a little skeptical, but anything is possible, and we're always interested in new gaming experiences.
Hopefully we'll get some more word on how the game is shaping up from the E3 show floor.
