THQ's uDraw GameTablet for the Xbox 360 and PS3 features input at 2000x1600 resolution, multi-touch surfaces for "pinch-and-stretch and rotation features, built-in tilt sensors, and is set to launch this November.
The revolutionary uDraw GameTablet from THQ, which has defined an entirely new category of gaming by offering unbridled creativity on a video game console, will come to the Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 consoles this fall, it was announced today by Brian Farrell, THQ’s President and CEO.
For its planned November debut worldwide on the Xbox 360 and PS®3, uDraw™ will adopt an entirely new look: a sleek, contemporary design that incorporates console controls directly into the uDraw GameTablet. Enhanced capabilities add to the uDraw’s dramatic new appearance, including high-definition art creation and gameplay; a stylus with greater sensitivity for more detailed results; motion features; longer drawing time; plus direct touch-screen control that incorporates pinch-and-stretch and rotation features.
THQ will display its new uDraw GameTablet for Xbox 360 and PS3 during the upcoming E3 Expo from June 7-9 in Los Angeles, alongside the enormously popular uDraw for Wii™. THQ has shipped 1.7 million units of uDraw for Wii to retailers worldwide since its launch in November.
"As soon as we introduced uDraw last year, Xbox 360 and PS3 fans began asking when they could experience it, too – and beginning this fall, they can," Farrell said. "The uDraw offers amazing innovation and opens new doors of artistic possibility. There’s no console-based artistic tool like it."
A new version of uDraw Studio™ software – called uDraw Studio: Instant Artist™ – will bring the core functions of the uDraw GameTablet to life on your television. It is also scheduled to be available this fall, and will come bundled with the new uDraws. This enhanced artistic software package offers expansive guided tutorials to teach many of the basics of art and design, as well as a more intuitive interface that keeps art tools right on screen at all times. Using the new uDraw Studio: Instant Artist on uDraw for Xbox 360 and PS3, artists will be able to more easily send and share images online.
