Samsung Smart TVs getting gesture-controlled Angry Birds

6:30 PM on 07.20.2012

Samsung Smart TVs getting gesture-controlled Angry Birds photo

In Rovio's quest to get Angry Birds on every single platform currently active in the market, the bird launching simulator will be headed to the twenty people out there who were able to afford a Samsung Smart TV (Samsung 2012 LED 7500 models and up, and Plasma 8000 models) for no charge at all.

More interestingly, this iteration of Angry Birds will be the first one to feature gesture controls through the TV's camera. And that's pretty much it. It's just more Angry Birds. I don't particularly enjoy the series, but if Samsung wants to hook me up with a $9,999 Samsung ES9000 75" Smart 3D TV I'd totally be down to play some more Angry Birds. A guy can dream, can't he?

I wonder how many people are going to buy one of the Samsung Smart TVs just to play Angry Birds on it. Actually, I don't want to think about that.

But will it have pelvic thrusting gestures to launch the birds?

Zero. I HAVE to believe zero; otherwise I could do something stupid.

@El Conrado

Considering its a $10k TV, you'd probably have to be fairly wealthy to buy one. Can I see some rich teenager blowing $10k on a TV just to be the one playing Angry Birds at 75inch 1080p resolution? For sure, and if someone like that is reading this right now, I just want you to know I think your'e awesome and I'm amazing best friend material ;).

Is it wrong that I immediately thought "Illusion of Gaia!" when I saw that picture? :(

@Alan - Awesome, let's go yachting!

Geezus, next thing you know Angry Birds will be playable on your toaster.

I want that exact TV, what model is it? I'm in the market for one. Need PASSIVE 3D, 60"+ and low input lag.

I haven't looked yet but have they not made a toy version of the game yet? A bit like Jenga but with rubber birds/pigs & a catapult.

i would buy Samsung Smart TVs just to play Angry Birds on it=))))))

Apple counts down to 50 billion downloads, lists top apps

It's a monumental weekend for Apple, which is days (hours? minutes?) away from 50 billion downloads. It's not hard to think back to a time when the App store seemed insignificant, but looking at Apple's published lists of the...

Some classic game songs with a Middle-Eastern twist

I've listened to plenty of videogame musical covers in the seven years I've worked at Destructoid. Yet, this is the first time I've heard of a musical cover montage with a Middle-Eastern twist to them. There's even some games covered here I'd never expect, like Alley Cat. [Via The Awesomer]

Five most notorious videogame ripoffs of all-time

When I first heard that Electronic Arts was suing Zynga over The Ville, a rather blatant ripoff of EA’s The Sims Social, I was pretty excited to see the outcome. After all, there’s nothing worse than a company whose only business model is to steal the works of small game developers, and given some of The Ville's obvious lifts, it seemed as though EA had a very solid case.

Despicable Me producer attached to Angry Birds movie

It's wild to think how successful Rovio has been in adapting Angry Birds to so many different areas -- in fact, a full-fledged animated movie seems relatively tame by comparison. The company has given another update on the An...

Angry Birds soda outsells Coke and Pepsi in Finland

WUT. No, seriously. WUT. The fact that there is Angry Birds soda isn't what shocks me. You can buy novelty Mega Man and Pac-Man energy drinks. I sampled some very sugary Mario-themed beverages back in the day. Hell, remember ...

Angry Birds Star Wars sounds like what you would expect

In retrospect, Rovio Entertainment collaborating with Lucasfilm seems spot on. Not so much thematically, but in terms of how both Star Wars and Angry Birds have made obscene amounts of money through merchandising. Now, t...
