I found this fascinating.

Need 500 more for epic quailty

10 teams, 200 people, not one clue.

 

[BY2K]

Imagine the number it will take to make that AAAA game.

Spark Unlimited? Aren't those the guys being rumoured to be making Battlefront 3?

Could it be a coincidence or...?

 

[Grisby]

And I bet you it took one to pitch the idea of a Dance Central mode.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Clusterfuck

 

[tranciful]

Doesn't surprise me. Microsoft probably said "make it work, at any cost" after it had been getting all the hate.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Vindication will lie solely in its sales figures. I can't see it being a 'good' game.

 

[alr1ght]

But it's our fault that games don't sell 3m @ $60

(this game will sell boatloads)

 

[WrenchNinja]

If it took 200+ to make it, imagine how much it'll take to make it a good game.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

200 people approved THIS ?

 

[CountAntonius]

yet no new Jedi Knight. =(

 

[jump_button]

so it was pass around alot? cant see what 200+ where doing

 

[mysteriousmage09]

That is really embarrassing.

 

[Y2Kev]

That's a lot of people making gifs

 

[CountAntonius]

200 people approved THIS ?

That above video is actually real? What in the hell....

Edit: Crap I meant to edit not quote.

 

[Emitan]

yet no new Jedi Knight. =(

Yup. They could make a new JK game with a fraction of this game's cost. Fuck, I'd "settle" for an HD remake that would get the Jedi Academy multiplayer active again. It's still my favorite online game of all time.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I could imagine that most of those people are 9-to-5 type individuals who just sees it as a job.


most of the outstanding games we all love, are done by people who sacrifice personal time because they care more about the game than other stuff like their families or health. they sacrificed... for us.

 

[Gouty]

Isn't this the sort of shit that tanked the games industry 30 years ago?

This game is going to put up insane numbers, it will be pure shit and then.........

EVERY1 STOPS BYING VIDYAEGAMEZ!

LucasArts is currently internally making an action/adventure game, an open world RPG, and an FPS, which are all believed to be Star Wars related.

The first could conceivably be Jedi Knight.

 

[Mr Swine]

Wow... Each team could have made a point and click adventure game instead of this :|

 

[Mpl90]

200 people working on Star Wars Kinect.

Darth Vader dances with pop song covers in the background.

 

[ezekial45]

This is what the work of 200+ can result in.

[RPGCrazied]

Sad. Just think of the game, if it was serious? Like a Knights of the Old Republic type game. I want another open world rpg in the star wars universe! Fucking love that game. And don't suggest the new MMO.

I wasn't aware of the action/adventure game, but I was aware of the others. My expectations are set low, but at least there's hope now.

Agreed.

What vindication? The game is good for fans but that's about it. Kids too.

It will likely sell but that doesn't vindicate anything. It justifies the making of it but there is hardly anything redeeming from my perspective opinion.

Most people are saying the game is fun to play with their babby. I don't think it's really a personal dedication thing.

I'm not woman from Ar who had chirlden, but if you have babby and don't want to bring it back to New York to rest maybe you play this game with it

Also, on sales: what did Disneyland kinect sell?

 

[Escape Goat]

are they winning?

 

[Takuya]

If anything defines a waste... This is it.

 

[Derrick01]

Proof that numbers alone can't make a good game I guess.

 

[BY2K]

are they winning?

I don't know, but the kid in the red shirt is clearly asking himself: "What the hell are we doing?"

Good for fans? No. Good for kids? Yeah. Game is gonna sell a shitload.

 

[RoboPlato]

200+ more layoffs for the industry

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

When you spread shame that thin it must barley be able to be felt.

 

[Nilaul]

10 teams, 200 people, not one clue.

Thumbs up!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good for fans? No. Good for kids? Yeah. Game is gonna sell a shitload.

Fans and kids, sure. Maybe less the rabid fan but the enthusiast, of course they will buy. It looks like garbage but it selling doesn't justify any means other than the cash in. I'm more or less commenting from a critical standpoint.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Id like to think the tastes of eight year olds is more refined than this.

 

[TheOddOne]

Well that is money wasted.

How the hell doesn't George Lucas stop this travesty from happening? Does he care that little about the reputation of his franchise? This game looks absolutely terrible in every way.

 

[Seraphinianus]

red shirt guy is like 'i'm...just..gonna look...at this wall."

 

[ezekial45]

You wouldn't know it, but they're all hitting the high score.

Dying.

I think he is a ghost of the boy in the front from the future.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

In all my years of studying AR interaction (I'm an expert), I can tell they just blew up the Death Star.

 

[nasos_333]

That is sad

AHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA

 

[Y2Kev]

Doesn't kinect only support 2 people? So two of them aren't even really doing anything?
