    Oh. My. GOD!! Now I just have to figure out how not to look like a fucknut in my living room, but yeah... this is it. This is the reason to get a motion control device.



    Hmmm.... maybe it's time to build my man-cave.

    I saw it, looked pretty damn retarded to me. Definitely NOT on my watch list. In fact, that list only has 2 games on it - Skyrim and Mass Effect 3...and with the announcement that ME3 is gonna support Kinect, I have to say that one is on the verge of falling off. I just wish the whole motion control fad would just die.

    Lik it or not, motion control is here to stay. Along with social/casual games DLC and everything else Hardcore gamers bitch about as ruining our past time. The bottom line is that if an industry is not growing, then it is in danger of going extinct. The more people that are lured into gaming by motion control games like this, the more likely the games that appeal to hardcore gamers will continue to get developed and published. What's most likely to happen is that the markets will organically segment themselves and we'll all be happy.

    I just wish this technology was around 10 years ago. I would look like a real moron doing this shit in my living room. I am, afterall, a grown ass man. I'm going to have to lock myself in my attic in order to play this and maintain my dignity.

    I think it looks quite cool, although I do wish Lucas would stop trotting out prequel related stuff and go back to some Star Wars that was actually good.

    Agreed. I've never played a motion control game that didn't annoy the fuck out of me and make me wish for a normal control interface.

    Ah, but have you used a lightsabre? Normally i would agree with you, but this is something I have to try.

    I played Force Unleashed 1 on the Wii. Fucking frustrating as hell trying to swing those stupid little controllers around.

    Then again, Force Unleashed 2 was a bit too picky with it's controls for my taste, too. But it still sucked less than motion control.

    Yeah, the Wii thing was only fun in small portions when playing with a group of people.

    This game doesn't look that fun to me. It's a wave your arm hack and slash. The game moves you along until it's time to wave your arms around like an idiot. Now if they had a lightaber attachment that provided force feedback when it touched something, atleast that might be interesting.

    I was thinking that myself. This might be better on Playstation Move. I'm guessing this is an Xbox exclusive, which is ashame.

    Mass Effect three is going to really kick ass.
