The Fast And The Furriest is Rare’s next game for Xbox Live Arcade
Rare is working on The Fast And The Furriest! The new party sports game is for the Xbox Live Arcade and uses the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera. As you can deduce from the the odd The Fast and the Furious movie-like name, the game will feature some of Rare’s iconic characters in races/contests of sorts.
Xbox360fanboy’s source indicates that: “The Fast & The Furriest will feature all kinds of sports based mini-games that include a 100 meter dash, bungee run, hurdles and tip-tup curling. Rare also has plans to release Xbox Live Marketplace content packs that’ll expand the event offerings including croquet, bowling, volleyball, fishing and various target games. And get this. Most, if not all, the games can be controlled using the Vision camera if one chooses (but not required).”
About Rare IP characters being used: “Each player will be able choose a character like Conker or Banjo which will actually be a “suit” (think mascot suits). Players will then be able to scan their face using the Vision camera to skin the face opening of the character suit. Taking the whole face mapping thing a step further, they’ll be using character faces as in game assets appearing on scoreboards and reflecting off objects like ice.”
Doesn’t sound that appealing really. They should be working on Killer Instinct 3.
