With the announcement at CES'12 that Kinect Star Wars would be playable entirely in 3D mode is the force strong in this forthcoming game?
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
lol I remember this. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the Star Wars Holiday Special
3D or not, this game still looks pants and not something I will ever buy.
I will give them 8/10 for effort though.
Fin.
Okay, 3D. I suppose that gets a check off of the popularity list.
The fundamental flaw I saw with that Star Wars game was that moving in 1st person using Kinect looked problematic. Maybe a bit of running on the spot instead of the whole strut forwards thing might do the trick?
Anyway, I'm at least curious.
Unfortunately for this game, early builds of it were less than spectacular from the media's eyes and that hurts its potential from a sales front. Delaying this game to tweak and improve things hopefully is a big plus for the game, but I fear the early stink this game left isn't going to leave it even if its a solid game now.
Kinect and 3D? Talk about being sick :/ I mean most 3D requires you to be in a fixed position. Isn't that gonna be hard with Kinect AND 3D?
I have a 3d tv and it looks fine moving around. You only have to be in a fixed position for glasses free 3d.
