We were wondering where all the Kinect-powered goodness was during E3′s press conference, and it seems they let Ubisoft take care of all that. After seeing Just Dance 2015 early, Ubisoft also announced a new workout-centric game that aims to get you and your friends in shape while having fun doing it.
It’s called shape up, and it brings together a hodgepodge of different workout activities including Dance Dance Revolution-style dancing, pushups and more. Your entire body is transferred into the game itself, with 3D objects being manipulated by your movement. For instance, the push-ups game might show you and your buddy with cars, whales and totems on your backs as you pretend you’re the world’s strongest human beings.
It’s probably not going to get game of the year or dominate shelf space at retail, but this could be the game that gets folks excited about Kinect again (even if Microsoft has left it dead in the water at this point). You can find the trailer up above.
