睇trailer似乎係手指指槍game?
不過條片操控果部份似乎係做戲 (開發初期?), 實際gameplay形式要再confirm.
(條片開頭拎「其他」控制器黎玩, Twisted Pixel 真係未死過...... )




“Where he came from no one knew…though I once heard tell he was kicked out of Castolon, Texas, for teaching a mule to play poker, breaking one of the few laws in that frontier town at the time.

His goal was to get revenge on his old posse who had packed him with lead and left him with a permanent address under three feet of Texas clay...then get dangerously drunk on apple jack whiskey.

He was a one-man judge, jury and executioner on the bloody vengeance trail”.

He was...the Gunstringer.

Hi, and welcome to The Gunstringer blog!

My name is Dan Teasdale, and I’m the lead designer on The Gunstringer. The whole team here has been working hard on the next new game from Twisted Pixel, and we’re all really excited to be able to share our baby with the world.

So, what exactly have we been working on?

Well, The Gunstringer is a Kinect game where you get to marionette a kick-ass undead cowboy puppet through action packed stage performances. Everything is set as if it’s an actual play performance, complete with hand crafted “actors” and props.

Through a bunch of on stage performances, you get to marionette the Gunstringer through an awesome western themed revenge story filled with action, drama, and mildly creepy puppet love. Having being raised from the dead by an invisible string-pulling force, the Gunstringer has only one goal – to seek revenge on the rag-tag posse that put him underground in the first place.

While we do take cues from the classics like Sergio Leone’s iconic spaghetti westerns, this isn’t a “straight” western revenge story. Being able to perform this story with puppets and stage props lets us get away with some pretty far out characters, settings, and plot twists that would just seem insane in a straight western story.

The Gunstringer marries all of this with really fresh and fun gameplay mechanics. From the start of this project, we’ve focused on getting across the feel of marionetting a puppet’s movement through a 3D world, then mixing that with the fun and mayhem of targeting-focused shooters like Rez. One minute you’ll be navigating the Gunstringer over tricky ravines or towards secret paths, the next you’ll be ducking behind cover to take out a half-dozen clockwork alligators with your six shooter.

As you may have already gathered, The Gunstringer is unlike any Kinect game you may have played previously. There are no minigames, forced gestures, or end of level photos of you in your underwear here. You can play it sitting down, which is great if you just want to play and relax rather than burn crazy calories. Most importantly, you can aim and move with precision not seen in any of the Kinect launch titles, and with a speed and feel that’s just not possible with a traditional controller.

Over the next few weeks and months, the Gunstringer team will be updating this blog with news, development insights, reveals, and other cool stuff that’s going on during the development of The Gunstringer. We’re all really excited to be able to finally talk about the game, and we can’t wait for you to find out more!

-Dan

PS: If you have any questions, we’ll do our best to answer them in upcoming blogs! We’ll be monitoring the @twisted_pixel twitter feed for questions and replying to the things we can talk about every week right here on the blog.

片頭好串~

似乎已經有人鬧緊佢地, 所以開發商嚮twitter話, 唔係想踩其他主機, 只係想表達今次隻game俾玩家既體驗係前所未有.

I think people are getting the wrong message from the Gun trailer. We arent slamming any other system, just trying to make a new experience

佢片頭掉埋360手制就講得通o者~依家擺明踩人~

[大情大性武大帝]

其實佢咁既風格都抄左新力既「小小小星球」…（1.15秒）

不過，美國人係鍾意咁直接寸人既…

ps：果個mac機上一代既Keyboard，好野來架喎！！！！！！！

[david]

應該好快就會有非TS官方iOS版。/

看影片表達感覺個角色會自己向前行.

開發商講瞄準既準確度問題.
佢地話係睇晒你成隻手臂+膊頭既位置, 所以可以更準確咁估算度你瞄緊邊道.


Twisted Pixel on The Gunstringer's Kinect aiming (and shooting!) mechanics

by Christopher Grant (18 hours ago)

Curious how Twisted Pixel's Kinect-powered undead cowboy marionette sim The Gunstringer works? Well, narratively, isn't it obvious? It's a western about undead puppets. As for the you-are-the-controller part, Twisted Pixel designer Dan Teasdale offers up a lengthy explanation on the studio's dev blog.

"From the start of development on The Gunstringer, we've focused on getting across the feel of puppeteering as well as the feel of being an awesome kickass undead cowboy," Teasdale says. "It's really only something we could do with the Kinect sensor for two big reasons: pure analog actions and full skeletal data."

Teasdale goes into some specifics on what he means by "pure analog actions" and, mostly, he means not waggle. "Gesture libraries and waggle are the designer's way to fit a square binary peg into a round analog hole," he says. In contrast, there's Kinect. Instead of the usual analog null points, The Gunstringer will actually use your body's position (see: skeletal data) to determine a null point. "'Your hand is stationary next to your hip' is incredibly more useful than 'this dot of information isn't moving,'" Teasdale relates.

But seriously, how does the game control? Instead of the "move left, move left, no move right, okay stop" input you'd find with an analog stick, The Gunstringer lets you move the marionette "anywhere along the screen just by moving your hand to that location." That's movement, but what about shooting dudes? "Since we know how your entire arm from your hand to your shoulder is moving, we can accurately extrapolate what you're aiming at with your hands, and place the reticle exactly where you're pointing," he says. And the "fire action involves literally firing your six shooter as if you just felt recoil in your arm."

Alright, even with all this detail we're still having a hard time picturing how it all comes together – it sounds a lot like Rez or Child of Eden ... but with undead cowboy marionettes. Luckily we'll all have a chance to try it out, together, at PAX East next month.

真係扮開槍
而且個角色唔係完全自己行的, 你要用另一隻手控制佢左右郁

[ai.]

無記錯扮開槍的kinect game佢好似唔係第一隻,所以唔覺特別.
之旦係真係自動向前行感覺有點失望.

有一樣野估唔到...佢個標把咁大個圈就真係估唔到.....
有無人睇到佢點reload?定係又係auto.

好似電影影碟果D special feature咁, 會有 developer commentary

The Gunstringer gets level commentary (a la Mystery Science Theater)
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/24/th...-science-thea/
by Randy Nelson (52 minutes ago)

Twisted Pixel is taking a page from the script of TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000 -- and its web heir, Rifftrax -- for some of the bonus content in its upcoming Kinect shooter, The Gunstringer. Designer Dan Teasdale dropped the news on the developer's blog, saying that the team was inspired to create "full commentary for the entire game" by the spirited online riffing given to Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

"It's not just us talking about making the game," Teasdale says of the commentary. "Much like how some of the best Rifftrax are the ones that have special guests, we've asked some special friends of ours to comment on specific plays in the game." The identities of the guests may be a secret, but we already know one possible candidate: Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, who's already been signed to play the role of a reporter in the game's live-action sequences.

Of course, the developer could go all out and get the master of riffing, MST3K and Rifftrax's Michael J. Nelson, to contribute -- something sure to get fans of his work all MSTy-eyed. Whoever's involved in them, the commentary tracks will be unlocked using in-game currency, after which, Teasdale says, "you'll be given the option to turn on the soothing voices of either us, or (more likely) our awesome special guests!"

The Gunstringer's launch DLC free to all Xbox Live members on Sept. 20

The only thing more charming and out of place than an interactive, full-motion video addendum to a game about an undead marionette cowboy is free DLC. "The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles," an anachronistic add-on to Twisted Pixel's Kinect debut, The Gunstringer, is currently free only to Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Man, what a bunch of withholding assh --

"So right now DLC is free to gold members only but don't let that discourage you (or call us assholes yet ; )," tweets Twisted Pixel. "It goes free to Silver next Tues."

On the other hand, if you want to hurl obscenities at Twisted Pixel over an agonizing World 3 level in Ms. Splosion Man, we'll join you in a foul-mouthed chorus.
