Scott Henson, the new studio manager of Microsoft owned developer Rare, has told MCV that he expects the studio to work exclusively on Kinect-compatible software going forwards.
“Kinect will be the main focus for Rare going forwards as it’s a very rich canvas,” he told MCV. “This is just the beginning of an experience that will touch millions of people.”
Furthermore, Henson has a clear vision for the studio – to create software that can literally be enjoyed by anyone.
