Age of Empires Kinect?


Didn't the creators of Age of Empires get shut down by Microsoft some time ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_Studios

If they do this, they should have a reputable developer to develop it. If not, it seems kind of risky to release a new one by an unproven dev,  with a new control scheme, which, to be honest, has yet to prove its abilities. Then again, if it has keyboard control schemes and kinect support, alongside a multiplat release on the 360 and pc, it would still sale well based on the brand name and recognition. I could be overestimating the Age of Empires brand recognition though...

They got Robot Entertainment to do the initial development. They're mostly composed of ex-Ensemble employees so it's the same personnel (more or less). The gameplay is more or less the same too (on the PC at least).

And it's a free to play game.
