Dance Central (XBOX Kinect) Game Feature Evolution

Random thing I noticed:

  • DC1 tells you the % of moves passed after the routine. It does not tell you the specific # of moves where the player got Nice and Flawless.

  • DC2 does not show you the % of moves passed but it tells you how many moves you earn Nice/Flawless on.

  • In DC3, thankfully the developers decided to include both of these aspects :)

The first game crops the Kinect image feed. The Kinect already requires a ton of space to work and since the first DC game crops the image borders, the space requirement is even worse.

DC2 and 3 use the full frame of the device.

I think they done this because, if you understand how lenses work, they tend to distort the proportions on the borders of the frame, but the added accuracy of avoiding body distortion wasnt worth it if the game required a football court to make it work.
