I can't wait for more hilarious pre recorded video shenanigans! [lol]

Meh. I'd rather have a Gladius sequel (hell, even a digital rerelease that fixes the Loads and Loads of Loading works), new X-Wing/Tie Fighter simulator and/or real Outlaws sequel in the same style as a classic FPS (running around at 50 MPH with a lot of guns, no regenerating health).

[up]I am trying to picture someone playing a flight sim with Kincet's controls. It is amusing.

But Lucas Arts has been spiraling down hill since 2000 and it will probably just be more Clone Wars stuff anyway (seriously, the war only went on for three years; how much more content can you stuff into the timeline, and down our throats?).

To answer your question. As much as you'll pay for.

Doesn't Lucas Arts know that EVERYONE WANTS BATTLEFRONT 3 AND COMMANDOS 2!?

Thorn14 with another baseless comment.

That accusation was old before E3 2010 when media got to play Kinect. That accusation was moldy after 8M units sold, proving Kinect does what it claims to do.

It's even more ignorant when someone already did a lightsaber app with Kinect.

Then explain the OBVIOUS pre recorded fail when it premiered.

And I was joking about it, I'm sure its actually done now for real.

(I wonder if he knows that 8 million people have been playing Kinect, or that PC users have been making homebrew software for it, or that Kinect has revolutionized robotics. Nah, better not tell him or he'll suffer some serious Cognitive Dissonance.)

I'm aware of the technology of the freaking Kinect. I'm referring to the fraking E3 Demo where it was OBVIOUSLY STAGED AT THE TIME.

I still hate it though. But I'm aware the technology is THERE.

You honestly thought I thought that the whole Kinect thing was a hoax?

[up][up]I notice you get mad easily. That's ok. There is nothing wrong with that.

I'm psyched for this if it doesn't focus exclusively on the Clone Wars.

He wasn't getting mad easily, Jaf was just unnecessarily going off about the Kinect when it was pretty obvious that Thorn was making a joke.

On topic: Well, it's difficult to see how this'll turn out I mean sure the game will have the sword swiping covered, but movement controls is going to be a bitch- I refuse to run around my friend's room/run on the spot that's just tedious.

E3 trailer.

It looks like it could be REALLY good or REALLY terrible.

I hope it'll allow you to make fast slashes with the saber so you can deal with whole groups, but I doubt it.

And... podracing? I died a little inside.

But... you can PLAY AS A RANCOR? grin

Star Wars! smile Kinect? sad

Seriously, motion control is such a gimmick. Flailing around pretending you have a lightsaber in your hand is much less immersive than pressing buttons, since (to quote Yahtzee) it draws your attention to your presence in front of the screen.

Star Wars licensed games are in the unusual position of being almost universally good, but somehow I doubt a gimmicky motion control game will be good at all.

And no, I don't like the Wii.
