Frontier chairman David Braben has clarified a statement made by VP of Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer, which suggested cutesy virtual pet title Kinectimals was built using the same technology as Lionhead’s virtual boy Milo.
“I’d like to address some stories that are currently circulating, that Kinectimals from Frontier is somehow related to Milo and Kate from Lionhead,” Braben told OXM.
“Kinectimals has been in development since before we saw Milo. It is built using Frontier’s own technology shared with other Frontier games in development, and ideas evolved from earlier games like “Dog’s Life”. There has not been any involvement in the technology or design by Lionhead. Milo and Kate is a completely separate (and intriguing) development from Lionhead.”
That’s pretty clear then.
If you’ve not seen anything on Kinectimals, then we advise you take a look at the E3 trailer – it’s too adorable for words.
