I can't even bring myself to watch the entire video. It's like listening to Vogon poetry.

That dancing Han Solo video was the worst thing I have ever seen ever.

Someone call the cops. I'm going to murder something. No. EVERYTHING. I feel like I've just been skullfucked.

Sometimes throwing more people at the problem doesn't help.

With the feedback you get from your average Kinect game, it's not like anyone can tell.

Kinect supports more than 4 players if i remember right

Too many cooks spoiled the broth I guess...
bububu Episode 3 was good :qq
boiled goose
good with gravy
that is embarrassing.
Reminds me of how much better Just Dance is compared to dance central. That just looks wrong.

I thought the dancing storm troopers were funny... but this just makes me want to cry.

sadly I don't trust the current LucasArts to make a good game...

That's exactly how I felt when I watched this.... it's hilarious, but for all the wrong reasons. This is like Star Wars Holiday Special bad, possibly even worse!
While this may put some people off, they hired Clint Hocking. I.e. the guy who made far cry 2. Also, the original splinter cell games. I think they may make something interesting with him leading a team.
Also, if spark unlimited is indeed working on battlefront 3, would it make sense if they contributed some assets to this game? Or sound effects? Because that would make sense to me.
Nailed it.
Why does everything for kids today though have to be so mindless and stupid?? I mean, I was a kid once, and when I was a kid I played actual games. Not this "slam the button like an idiot" or in the case of the Kinect "jump around like an idiot" type of games all the time now.
8 and 16 bit games may seem "simple" to people nowadays, but the complexity and skill required to master them is much higher. I say "master" them though, because if you still suck at those games, it was still possible to have fun I feel too. This kind of crap just encourages sucking, and there is no feeling of accomplishment for winning, because the game basically plays itself. So fucking pointless to me.

The minute Kinect was attached to it, see ya.

My understanding is more like the head chef fucked it up and their management needed to hire nine more just to get the broth out of the kitchen at any cost.
The thing that blows my mind is that this isn't some quick cash in. It's hugely expensive and has had hundreds of people working on it. But after all that time and money they might as well have given the team a shoestring budget for it's quality. It would sell the same and they'd actually be making more money. The greatest crime here is all the other games that could have been funded with this money but weren't.
FUCK YOU MICROSOFT FOR CANCELING OBSIDIAN'S GAME

Whos gonna put some bets on its metacritic score, below 10 or above 90?

Depends on how many of those 200 people were marketers.
Judging from the game's quality all of them.
And they couldn't be arsed to make a real Lighsaber game for Wii or Move.
What in the fuck?

that certainly is ambitious

It's not for kids. It's for families. It's something everyone can gather around and play and participate in. Grandma wasn't having much fun with Super Star Wars back in the day.
Since it will probably sell plenty of copies (and Kinects) its money well spent as far as they're concerned.
The dancing parts are probably the best parts of the game from what I've seen.
Well I think that's what some of us want. After so many years, Star Wars has been made into a mockery when there was a time when Star Wars was an amazing franchise. Not only were the original movies classics, but there was also years of really solid video games being made for it. Games like Tie Fighter, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, Battlefront. The only other Star Wars games we've gotten this entire generation are The Force Unleashed ones, and while the first game was ok...it was far from perfect, and the second one was a rush job, and a unneeded sequel.....what the fuck happened to the video games of Star Wars where we reached this point??

I'd rather have Star Wars Kinect, I'll get more entertainment out of making fun of it than I ever could from point and click games.
