[quote=http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/11/10/star-wars-kinect-2011/]When Microsoft rolled out Kinect at E3 2010, they included some short demo scenes from a Star Wars game. Unfortunately, we haven't see much more of that game since, save a lonely Amazon.com listing that still predicts a December 31, 2011 launch date. Hopeful Jedi Knights have a little more hope to cling to this week, however, as Microsoft has confirmed that "Star Wars Kinect" is still being readied for next year.
"We have a Kinect Star Wars game coming out for next holiday," Kinect for Xbox 360 creative director Kudo Tsunoda told the BBC.
Tsunoda didn't talk about any gameplay or story details, but he did say that he's witness quite a bit of it in motion.
"I've seen a bunch of the game and it's super compelling," he revealed.
As for whether or not Darth Vader will be playing a major role in it or how it will fit into the Star Wars universe's larger mythology, those are questions that LucasArts and Terminal Reality will be getting asked a lot in 2011. There will be lightsabers involved, though, and assuming what's already been shared doesn't get completely scrapped, there will be Jedis, Stormtroopers and at least once appearance by a post-"Episode 3" Lord Vader. If they want to throw in some Force powers from "The Force Unleashed 2" to top things off, I'm sure fans of the series wouldn't mind.[/quote]
Is it just me, or is Star Wars one of the most promising IPs for any motion sensing system?
Hopefully it will be successful.
Sounds awesome. May be a reason to get kinect now. As long as it's not on rails.

Choke holding Darth Vader never seemed so good.

I remember that game, I was one of the nintendo fanboys who claimed that the Wii would be the best and revolutionary console and that Red Steel would change FPS's forever.
I was so wrong.
force choke realized, I can laugh very evil like in my living room :xd:

And have it made for PC
The Kinect looks promising, I just don't see how it could get farther into the other games that really sell the console like Third and First person shooters. From what I've learned, your still gonna need the remote which kinda defeats the purpose of the Kinect. I've got a PS3 and I'm going to wait a year before I even consider getting the Move.
I have a hard time imagining this without feedback.

They better fix the bug that causes the game to look forward in time and replicate your movements before you even make them.
Republic Commando 2
Battlefront 3
Jedi Knight 4
Why can't we have these good Star Wars games anymore?
kinect actually works and reads your movement and everything so this should be pretty damn awesome.
sounds awesome. can't wait
