The developers of “Fighters Uncaged,” a motion controlled fighting game for the Xbox 360’s Kinect, says that a two player mode had to be taken out as it is just “too dangerous.”

Commenting on the game’s two player options, the producer was heard to say:

“Versus mode was a bit too dangerous. It’s possible to do, but people just end up hitting each other.”

Although it seems possible overexcited players standing next to each other could be asking for trouble, online multiplayer would appear to conveniently sidestep this issue…

Fighters Uncaged itself, to be released by Ubisoft in November, certainly seems an excellent idea on paper, but there are lingering doubts as to just what level of motion control finesse can be expected from these games:

The game features plenty of burly men with bad tattoos – current marketing theory seems to indicate this guarantees success amongst adolescent US gamers:

    you might accidentally kick or punch someone or accidentally throw the controller.

    Throw the controller? You mean your entire body at a person? It's completely motion controller without any peripheral needed to be held to register your motions. Everything in this video looks stiff and clunky. It looks like Final Fantasy XI with Burly men.

    If by controller, he means a loli-slave, then that could happen, I guess.
    Not my kind of thing, mind you.

    Yeah, a manly macho kicking the hell out of little schoolgirls in miniskirts sounds like a good idea.

    What if you're a fat unfit person? How do you do a flying jump kick? How do you effectively do every fighting move within the game without either damaging yourself or the floor?

    There should be a 2 player eroge~ You'd have to find a loli to grope though

    Why? That certainly promises some realistic game play. ^_^

    He's predicting the WWF game. You will definitely throw the controller with some of the moves required.

    It sucked. Sega Playdium hosted it for a while. Terribly unresponsive and jumping was impossible. Even kicks were a nightmare. You could throw a jab...if you were the optimal height and didn't throw it too fast or too slow...

    So for people who don't have big enough space or not flexible enough to do high kicks etc they are pretty much stucked with punches and low kicks I guess?

    Imagine kids start going to karate or taekwondo classes just so they can kick other peoples' butt over a game lol

    I think there's an option for people who aren't flexible enough... pick the middle men in the first picture... you just need to move a little since he also can't move a lot I think...

    Then it wouldn't be fair as more acrobatic inclined people could easily beat the less using some sick combos without breaking a sweat by opting for that setting.

    Professional Kinect players daylights as gymnasts.

    No different than facing players who've been training character moves in normal fighters.

    This version just makes it more directly responsive. I have no doubt that you can fight well even if you can only punch and move around a little/duck.

    But we'll need thin girl characters for those Olympic gymnast players. It'll be glorious.

    I would love to see YouTube videos of families playing this game and watch a mother/father hit their child, hehehe...

    Wii's got nothing on the body-count if they allowed versus mode and made it a family game in the living room...

    This looks limited and unfinished...And removing the 2P versus seems like a waste of family fun with siblings hitting each other...

    @Anonymous 17:43 25/08/2010

    Imaginary sex using any next-gen interactive system would be fun...Imagine a (hentai) dating sim (Love+ anyone..?) on the interactive next-gen systems...

    Hell, they may as well have made a snuff game with Kinect...

    You can kick and punch a cute girl/guy with your moves and feel f*cking proud and god-like as you get hard/stain your panties from the virtual abuse...Nothing like that after a hard day at the office or a stressful day at your job...

    May as well make them anime, since nothing gets me off than seeing a cut anime girl get beaten up...

    But...

    This is a fantasy that will never happen unless we remove the puritanical biggots running the videogame industry...And the ESRB...

    Such wasted potential and boundless violent games...That will never see the light of day as long as insecure people think 2D women (2D men don't count) should have rights...

    And don't give me that "For the children" crap because we know it's just fat soccer moms and insecure corporate fools blocking our way towards the full potential of interactive next-gen systems...

    Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft...

    SO much potential and all obscured and limited by morals and ethics...

    Videogames are all about unwinding and feeling good about yourself as you immerse in the realm of 2D and away from the rules and regulations of real-life...

    Both Anime, videogames, and everything 2D should never ever have the same rules as real-life...Never...

    It should be a lawless world filled with pain, pleasure, and rapturous release via sex and violence in a fantasy realm of euphoric goodness...And forget yourself in finite wanderlust...

    Once you start the system, you best throw real-life morals and ethics away and prepare yourself for 2D immersion...

    That...Is what 2D is all about...To me anyway...

    ...

    ...

    ...

    SEGA FOR THE LOVE OF F*CK, PLEASE MAKE A HATSUNE MIKU GAME FOR ALL NEXT-GEN INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS!!!

    I want to see her on my 50-inch HDTV...Just like in her live concert...

    Maybe you can only do flying armbars. Grab an imaginary wrist and the imaginary neck, and jump so you can slam the back of your head on the ground.

    to be honest I don't like how there is so much hype about kinect and no substance they promise a lot but in the end I feel this product will be making very little impact in the gaming market. it's really gonna be this generations virtual boy to be honest
