Today marks the launch of Steel Battalion Heavy Armor, and Xbox 360 exclusive which uses the Microsoft Kinect in tandem with the traditional 360 controller to provide an immersive and precise battlefield experience like no other. Step into the cockpit of the rugged Vertical Tank and turn the tides of war with the cooperation of your trusted crewmates.
Heavy Armor boasts a ton of potential interaction gestures (much like the classic Xbox game featured a ton of buttons), so be sure to check out the digital Operations Manual.
Some key points:
-Ensure that the sensor is between 2' and 6' above the ground
-The recommended distance from sensor to player is 6' for single player
-For your playing experience, be sure that your chair / seat is within the sensor's field of view
-Make sure you have adequate space so you won't hit anything as you stand up or move your arms
-Ensure sunlight isn't shining directly on you or your sensor
To get hyped, check out the gritty launch trailer after the jump.
I'd like to give a quick shoutout to the War Journal contest we recently ran on Unity - you guys came up with some amazing entries that really captured the game's grim, bleak outlook on war. Congrats to Einhanded for the win!
