IPhone’s Killer App “Infinite Blade” was an idea for Kinect

Chair Entertainment’s IPhone jewel was once an idea for Kinect.

The game is the most beautiful looking game on any iDevice, thanks to its usage of Epic Games “Unreal Engine 3″, previously only available on Consoles.

Here is the revealing quote in an interview with Joystiq:

“We always have some cool ideas on deck, and kind of the inception of Infinity Blade began as a discussion around: ‘If we were going to make a Kinect title, what would we make? What would a Chair Kinect game look like?’,” Mustard revealed. “That discussion happened, you know, a year and a half ago. We had this really cool design, and it’s not that dissimilar from the game you’re playing today; it’s just been refined and adapted to the iOS screen, which honestly I think is where the design works the best.”

Could an Xbox 360 version of Infinite Blade be possible in the near distant future? Chair Entertainment does not dismiss the idea:

“Yeah,” co-founder Geremy Mustard added, “if the Kinect really takes off over the holiday season, who knows?”

Infinite Blade cost’s $5.99 in the Official Apple Appstore. It grossed $1.6m in less then a week of its release.
