Jedi master Brick Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 The new star wars kinect game will contain bits from all 6 movies and clone wars. This is due for later this year Trailer: Looks fun, hope you can do the vader strangle Quote
Zarkan Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Okay, what is with that manta creature racing stage in Bespin? I sure don't remember anything like that from the movies. Honestly, this looks pretty lame IMO. I think there's a reason why they didn't show much lightsaber combat or force usage in this trailer and focused mainly on four nearly identical vehicle stages, and it isn't because they think people would rather race pod-racers than be a Jedi.

simonjedi Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 The sad thing is that this is the closest we're gong to get to a new Jedi Knight game. It looks sooo bad. Why does the gaming community have such hatred for a normal controller? I'd rather press B instead of waving my arms around like a loon. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I'd rather press B instead of waving my arms around like a loon. I'm totally with you there simonjedi. I've been playing my way through Super Return of the Jedi and having a blast. I really can't understand why I would not want to sit on a couch with a controller when I play a video game. Quote
prateek Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 What bothers me is the fact that they made this instead of Battlefront 3! Quote

Jedi master Brick Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 I hpe it takes photos of the gamer like other kinect games . What if someone gets access (child) and puts them on facebook . To be honest the couch does not seem like a bad idea Quote

Actually, your opinion seems to be the dominant one among "hardcore" gamers. Despite Microsoft claiming that their device is the future of all gaming, the entire Kinect push has been aimed mainly at the same casual players that Nintendo owes the sucess of the Wii to. While there are some conventional gamers who see potential in motion controls, their numbers are rather low in comparision to those who would rather mash buttons. As for me, I have no problem with motion gaming, provided that it is incorporated into the game well and actually improves the experience. Things like pointer aiming in the Wii's few first person games and the upcoming 1:1 sword-fighting in Zelda: Skyward Sword are innovative and prove that motion controls can be a benifit to hardcore gaming. However, Kinect Star Wars appears to be nothing but a clunky mess, and considering that its being billed as one of the premier experiences for Microsoft's device, that's rather hilarious.

I'm sure most gamers would never let the beloved controller/joystick phase out of the gaming experience - my guess is that in some kind of attempt to get everybody from 6-year-olds to 80-year olds to play games Nintendo and co. are hawking all this motion sensor stuff. I'm definitely not a "hardcore" gamer, but I for one have felt that the recent Wii craze and Sony and Co.'s attempts to appeal to that same market have resulted in most "mainstream" games being of a low caliber... don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are plenty of good games for the Wii, Kinect, etc. but SSBB and such have not lived up to decent gaming standards. That being said, I didn't like the DS either... but maybe that's for another thread. Quote

Agreed. I hate Wii Baseball, but I love Galaxy on Fire (iOS). I think the first time I played with a motion controller, it was LEGO Star Wars: Complete Saga on a friends Wii, and that was poorly implemented, so maybe that's why I'm initially cautious about this kind of games.

The problem with Lego Star Wars: TCS is that the motion control was entirely one-dimensional, merely replacing the press of a buttion with swinging the remote. The way you moved the controler made no difference, and thus it was a completely unecessary addition. Hence why Traveler's Tales hasn't used it in any of their Wii games since. Quote

Yup, same conclusion I arrived at after playing for five minutes. Although it wasn't exactly the same; I was worse, because the game took longer to process a remote swing than a button press. Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 My experience tells me kinect and wii are only godd for sports games. But with exeptions such as sword/ lightsaber duels. Otherwise the tradtinal remote is fine and no need to get rid of it Quote
