No Joke, Double Fine Tackling Sesame Street Kinect Game

[lumenadducere]

Well, Double Fine has yet to let me down, so I'm sure this'll be good. Too bad a) I don't have a Kinect and b) I have little to no interest in Sesame Street. But good for all the new people exposed to Schafer and Double Fine - hopefully they get a few new fans out of it.

This is good on every level. Sesame Street signs a quality developer. Double Fine gets some nice working capital, WHILE doing something at least somewhat significant to them (and a no-brainer as to the typical tone and humor of their games). They also familiarize themselves with the Kinect.

And the kids?

The kids just scored a double rainbow.

Im honstly not that surprised.
This seems like something double fine would do.
Take something and make it amazing!

This is about as perfect a match of IP to Video Game designer as a Sesame Street Movie would be with Tim Burton directing.

This looks interesting. I wouldn't mind giving it a look.

Hmm... odd news. But, hey, this sounds like it'll work so good for Double Fine.

Surely the right people for the job, and I hope they pull some good cash from it and come back with a full meal game.

Good idea, educational gaming with kinect, and yay sesame street!

 

[ScroogeMcDuck]

I am not the least bit ashamed to say that I would still buy this even if I did not work with kids. maybe I should bring it into class any way... I now no longer need reason to buy a kinect.

At first, I had thought this was strange to say the least...but really, when I think about it, Tim Schanfer and Double Fine have a history of odd worlds and quirk environments, which Seasame street fits into.

Is it bad that I'm 21 and I want this game?

One of the big problems with motion control-focused games is that we haven't had many quality developers making games with them (aside from Nintendo IPs). Make enough legitimately good games for Kinect and I'll eventually probably buy a Kinect.
