The dancing part got me.

 

[Danny-Boy]

LOL I'm crying from laughter.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Still can't believe this hasn't been canned yet. DDR in Star Wars now? Ugh. Terrible.

 

[hwalker84]

It started ok then descended into pure crap

Has motion control gaming brought anything revolutionary to the table this generation?
It really isn't the future of gaming.

 

[ksimm]

lolwars... so bad.

 

[semiconscious]

sorry, kids. but the writing's been on the wall for a while now. when there's nothing left to do & nowhere else to go with star wars, this had to happen...

Yeah, dance game. Every kinect games should have dancing feature. *shaking my bum with butt plug attached*

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Taking a page of Bioware games?

Awesome!

No.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean it's not the future of gaming. I can only hope almost all developers resist this shit like they resisted the Wii.

 

[UrbanRats]

So, since dance central did well on Kinect, i'm guessing this dance mode is a fail safe, in case the rest of the game disappoints.

 

[semiconscious]

George Lucas must be rolling in dough...

fixed...


& dancing all the way to the bank...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

is the sword fighting just a QTE too, and not really real time?

Dude, I'm playing Mario Kart with my arms crossed and relaxed, hands dangling casually at the hips, pointing backwards: comfort's a revolution.

 

[Cartman86]

I love B-roll.

EDIT: Wait dancing what?!?!?!

 

[Sciz]

Well, at least it's entertaining now.

 

[maabus1999]

Lol, was this a leaked April Fools video or something?

 

[anotherVegan]

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

 

[Plinko]

LOL at the "Tusken Raider" dance move.

 

[RoboPlato]

Pod Racing looked kind of cool. Reminded me a lot of the arcade version of the game.

The rest was awful though, especially the lightsaber fight.

[Anteater]

I love these videos

Pointer controls.

And yes, it is. Whether anyone likes it or not. Until it stops selling.

No.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean it's not the future of gaming. I can only hope almost all developers resist this shit like they resisted the Wii.

Is that what they were doing? Fighting the good fight?

That's partly because every developer has tried their hardest to either use it appeal to a common denominator or to not use it at all.

I personally think that something like IR aiming is really, really awesome. And I would not have minded subtler handling of accelerometers and gyros. Play the game normally, but your stance with the controller affects your character's posture and/or fighting style. Tend to hold the controller in a rigid fashion normally? The game grows your character in a more strength-based and harder to take down fashion. Tend to move around a lot while playing? Your character gradually becomes more dextrous and jumps/dodges higher/better. Just an example, but I think that would have been pretty fun and not too difficult to implement. It's probably better than "You have 500 new XP, select stats to pour them into".

There's probably a lot of interesting things that can be done, but it just needs to be treated as yet another tool instead of CENTRAL POINT OF EVERYTHING YOU DO IN THE GAME.

That said, I've seen a lot worse than this game. I suspect that the lightsaber stuff would actually be cool were there not an insane lag involved between your motions and the on-screen character's actions.

 

[chickdigger802]

Who was that In the lightsaber fight in the S&M outfit?

 

[border]

So everyone is agreed that Star Wars Kinect is now completely unsalvageable?

Remember to cancel preorders on that $450 R2D2 Xbox

 

[alr1ght]

obey



deserved to be preserved in better quality

I don't know what thread I said this in, but why in hell was there no Episode I Racer HD for the Phantom Menace 3D release??

 

[gogojira]

Youtube blocked at work, but I seriously thought that Stormtrooper gif had to be a joke -- even for as bad as that game looks. I'm getting the distinct impressions it's not a bad joke.

 

[Grumbul]

This entire thread and that video have had me in stitches.

Quite simply the funniest thread and OP I have ever seen in a long, long time.

 

[rezuth]

Sometimes I wish I had control over Star-Wars... The dancing to YMCA.. I felt a bit.. violated.

 

[BorkBork]

Is that why they delayed it? To add the dance portion to the game that may actually work as advertised but nobody really wanted?

 

[Cat Party]

 

[Grinchy]

I think the living room is just a green screen.

Even Microsoft can't find a living room big enough.

 

[Andronicus]

what in thee fuck did i just watch?

 

[nasos_333]

I decided to buy this game afterall, for the dance section, i mean not all the comedies in the world cant replace the laughs after watching it

I guess that was the purpose of the developers as well

 

[Madridy]

holy shit hahahahahaha!

This can't be real!! @ dancing

I'm can't stop laughing out loud and my sister is giving weird looks lol!

 

[PhatSaqs]

Cannot unsee the words "Awesome" & "Great" exploding from the crotch of a stormtrooper....

 

[Valerie Cherish]

lolwars... so bad.

Wow, absolutely lost my shit here. :lol

 

[Sponge]

lolwars... so bad.

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL

TO DANCE IN A KINECT AS ANYONE

 

[tusken77]

Are you new to the Internet?

Dancing troopers have been a SW fanboy thing for years.

No. I remember loving Troops back in '98.

I've seen stormtroopers do all kinds of things on the internet. Doesn't mean I want to see it in a Star Wars game.

 

[ruxtpin]

To which I say...

If I had the misfortune of working on this game, I'd probably kill myself or become an alcoholic.

 

[Gorki247]

Star Wars + Dancing =

[Hiltz]

What is LucasArts thinking? It's like they don't care any more about quality games.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Speaking of which, when's the last time anyone saw Kudo Tsunoda?

 

[Sephiroth503]

No....that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
