Further game details inside...
Yukio Futatsugi, the man who created Phantom Dust and had a large helping hand in Panzer Dragoon, is now the head of a new development team called Grounding Inc. Having enlisted various team leads from the defunct development team, Team Andromeda, the Panzer Dragoon influence in upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade Kinect-only title Project Draco is obvious. The game was being shown behind closed doors at this year's Tokyo Game Show, but 1UP managed to get themselves a hands-on preview. Here are the details from that demonstration.
The game is very much an on-the-rails shooter with some RPG elements. Players shift their body weight around to steer the dragon. Left and right is fairly self-explanatory, but leaning backward will cause your dragon to climb higher, whereas bending forward will cause it to dive.
The RPG elements are brought in as players unlock and customise different dragons. Completing missions within the game leads to players being rewarded with food to give to their dragon, and this food can be used to develop the dragon's stats or equip specific skills or weapons.
The basic attacks controls are similar to those found in Child of Eden. The right hand is used for the lock-on attacks, with the left hand being used for the more powerful attacks. Throwing both hands up in the air will cause you to use bombs. The different dragons and upgrades will add variety to these attacks, although more details on this were being kept very quiet.
As well as a single player mode, the game will allow online co-op for up to three people. Players will be able to take their customised dragons into the online fray too.

As mentioned in the headline, Project Draco was originally due to be released this year. However, the title has now been pushed back to 2012 for unknown reasons. |

| It's a sad day for gaming when the spiritual successor to the panzer dragoon series gets such a lacklustre response from the first 5 posts.. |

| Checked the screens first and got excited to be able to play as a dragon. Then I read the article and lost the excitement as it sounds pretty bland. Hopefully they're holding it back to add a little more meat on the bone. |

| What's with all the Kinect hate? From the first time I played Child of Eden I have been dreaming of a Kinect based Panzer Dragoon. Cannot wait. |

Even sadder that it says Kinect only. I hope it can be played with a controller like Child of Eden.At the moment it can't, hence why I called it 'Kinect-only' instead of my usual 'Kinect-enabled'. There's plenty of time for that to change though. |

| If you can play it with the controller I'd give it a try I think, looks different than what I'm used to play, so could entertain me I guess ^^ |

| I don't have room to own a kinect! I hope they make it possible to use a normal controller as I really would like to play this new Panzer Dragoon (seriously, so many people don't know about panzer dragoon? I must be getting old) |

| on the plus side with a new 'panzer dragoon' game in the works could we see the saturn originals arriving on live? Radient silvergun is out so they can obviously port them now. i would love to play HD remakes of the original, zwei, saga/azel (especially) and orta. |

knew this for a while, so much nostalgia from Panzer Dragoon on Sega Saturn...
But Kinect only? FUCK OFF
I will NOT buy a kinect just for this but is rather tempting... |
