How do you sleep at night?

I do this as a job, and my best interest is to release a product that is finished and well made. However, I feel EXTREMELY uncertain on the future of this game.

How does it feel knowing you are befouling the once great Empire of Star Wars?

>>105774563
I dont have anything to ask but I would like to say FUCK YOU!
That is all.

>>105775025

You think you have any idea how bad the team is befouling the star wars universe? Imagine Darth Vader doing the YMCA as part of the dance game, and thats just the start....

Please add the ability to be a trooper with a bro squad and be able to shout out orders.

Then I'd buy a kinect and the game. But only then.

>>105775106
seconded this guy, you are pathetic, making the shittiest product for the lowest common denominator and then wondering why your careers are built on quick sand.
You deserve to lose your jobs.

>>105774563
And I'm Gabe Newell. Prove me wrong, faggot.

LIGHTSABER ON

>>105775206
No trooper mode. Only dance, pod racer, jedi story, and rancor battle mode. Even one of those might get cut seeing how slowly the dev process is going

>>105775388
What the heck is a Jedi Story?

>Kinect
wtf, SWTOR or gtfo

>>105775226

The game has a lot of potential, but its being rushed and really won't finish by holiday season as a complete product

>>105775270

Ask me anything faggot

>>105775482
Will we see free DLC?

>>105775445

rails shooter/lightsaber game, what you saw at e3 basically, and no more functional than it was back then

Why?

What's your excuse for your game looking like a boring, poorly built piece of shit?

Seriously all the video I see of people playing it is just them getting frustrated with shitty controls. And all the enemies just seem to stand there wave their weapons waiting for you to finally figure out how to make the game cooperate and hit them.

>>105775545

Im not part of the team doing DLC, but I can confirm that there will be DLC. Think new playable characters for the dance game and such. Also, I forgot to mention Lando dances on the rap songs. Racist much? Hahaha

How do Jedi-on-Jedi/Sith battles work? Deflect until you're given a moment to attack a la Star Wars Trilogy Arcade?

Do you agree with Team Meat and believe there has yet to be a motion controlled game, other than Wii Sports and possibly Skyward Sword, that isn't better off with a regular controller?

Do you think microsoft should abandon kinect?

>>105775571
Well, ok, will there be any particular story or is it just something like the following:
"Oh boy , oh boy! Be Anakin Skywalker (or other pre-existing character) and you thrash that room and kill those droids!"

How could you contribute to something as detrimental to the video game industry as Kinect? Everything is far too casual and catered to manbabies and women as it is, couldn't you do something positive instead of making things worse?

>>105775693
>>105775712

Both of these can be answered in the same answer. The lightsaber battles are part of the jedi game. The main game includes basic force moves and lightsaber fighting with battles here and again. You have little control over movement other than looking left and right. The lightsaber tracking is pretty poor but you can do special attacks like figure 8 to deflect ranged weapons. 1V1 battles are basically finding a weakpoint and then exploiting it. Waggling your arms like a retard then once the enemy is downed or stunned go in for the kill. Its a lot of back and forth.

>>105775813

Its funny, because we often joke that we play and or test the game with the controller more than we use kinect, unless its dance, because its a huge pain in the ass. In all honesty, I don't see the kinect technology going that far

So this game is 100% in rails right? you only advance after the game equates your arm flailing to 'laser deflecting' and the storm troopers fall down, yes?

>>105775845
Bits and pieces taken from the starwars universe, but nothing unique or new. In all honesty they take the flashy bits from all the different star wars episodes and make it into a game. Theres really no cohesive story.

Is everyone around you completely aware that noone would take this game seriously and all the hard work is to that hunk of shit?

Why couldn't you have made a Star Wars Wii game, with 1:1 lightsabber motion?

>>105776132
In the jedi mode, yes- rails only more or less.

>>105776132
*on rails

Can you give any insight on the console + game bundle that's coming out? Also, did you guys mean for the e3 showing to be so embarrassing?

Why the fuck is the game even in development? NOBODY wants it

>>105776213
I think the game is being pushed because it has great potential to sell well, especially as a holiday game. Be warned though, it will be terrible.

>>105776227
Game was tested using different methods and it really just doesn't work there. Part of it has to do with lazy programming, the other half has to do with hardware limitations.

>>105776239

Console + game bundle is part of a different team. The e3 demo was poor because the game is way behind development schedule, and we can't come to a happy medium with how to control the jedi.

>>105774897
LIke the APB devs?

>Waggling your arms like a retard then once the enemy is downed or stunned go in for the kill
are you serious?

look at those Sf threads. now look at what you just wrote.

do you see the wasted potential?

can you talk a bit on the current modes and what camed up in the brainstorming?

>>105776469
So thats it? You are only making this game so you can sucker some moms into buying this game for there kid when he wont like it?

How does it feel releasing it on the entirely the wrong motion system?

Why do you work on this game. Was it the only wrok you could find?

>>105776469
>Part of it has to do with lazy programming, the other half has to do with hardware limitations.
Hardware limitations my ass. You're in a service job not doing the thing everybody wants, and that's a proper Wii Star Wars game.

How does it fell to know your game will sell under 1000 copies?

Lightsaber off ;_;

Is this your team's last Kinect game?

Motion control is an abomination. The whole premise of have a user interface is to promote the ability to do more while using less effort. Motion control not only fails on these two fronts, it inverts the paradigm completely. It sacrifices accuracy, speed, and convenience in one fell swoop. It baffles me that it's gotten this far already. I have similar thoughts about the tricks being used to simulate 3D. Nvidia's is the closest to 3 perceived dimensions, but the technology is still flawed because hardware is bottlenecked at frames per second right now, and cutting them in half is usually unacceptable.

I don't have any questions. Just wanted to point out that I agree with everybody who recognizes motion controlled input is incredibly inefficient and eventually everybody else will realize it too.

>>105775813
MS will be abandoning the 360 when Win8 comes out.

>>105776674
Yeah its quite depressing honestly, the game could have been epic, especially had it been in the hands of a larger and more experience development studio. The modes are dance, which is a dance game like any other for kinect; jedi story which is like a rail shooter, rancor battles which is like rampage, and pod racer which is exactly what it sounds like.
>>105776700
Its the state of the industry, unfortunately

>>105776469
it looks like george lucas is the milk cow of the decade, along with the biggest fluke finder ever.

>>105776646
god damm you so much for reminding me of such a great game that is wasted potential due to lolbadcoding.

what server do you play on?

>>105776700
That's how a company works.

SURE IS PS3 FAGGOT IN HERE PRETENDING TO BE A KINECT GAME DEV.

>>105776760
Believe what you want, you can only do so much with the kinect.
>>105776792
It will sell like hotcakes and receive terrible reviews, nothing out of the ordinary

>>105777042
Gabe begs to differ...

>>105777135
>kinect games
>sell more than 10K copies

>>105775388
>starwars
>dance

WHY

>>105777227
>sell like hotcakes

Have you ever seen anyone buy more than 4 hotcakes?

Most of the time people just get coffee or some sort of breakfast muffin.

>>105777372
Gaben?

I hope you get eye cancer for helping make this shitty shovelware that killed the Xbox.

>>105777100

haha, I never said anything bad about the xbox. I don't even own a ps3, but in all honesty after working all day the last thing i want to do is game

Is there gonna be multiplayer?

What game studio would you rather work for/hope to work for in the future?

>>105777135
ok so, in due all honesty, i have seen kinect videos on youtube but i dont see these hardware limitations you speak of. can you give a example?

>>105777042
shut up capcom drone. some SW fans would like a game with actual content instead of having western companies make ragdolls out of epic characters and sell a dumbed down WoW clone NOW WITH VOICE ACTING!

>>105777315

i said the same thing, but in reality is one of the best parts of the game. imagine dancing as a stormtrooper or darth vader to ymca or celebration

>>105777650

dont know, the new consoles are past prototype stage so it would be nice to be on first party teams making games that are on the cutting edge

The stuff with the lightsaber that was shown, walking around on foot? Looked really, really stiff and not that fun. Has that changed at all.

More importantly, is the pod racing at least winding up well and fun?

>>105777744
>>105777744
Quads to doubles, like water to wine

>>105777777


What do you think about this post?

>>105777744
>dubquads

>>105777694

In the jedi game, the lightsaber can only be tracked in certain positions. The angle at which you hold it mostly relies on where your arm is, and the software does the rest of the calculation on the tilt of the saber. This leads to less accurate tracking compared to something like the PS move, but better overall tracking because you can lean, jump, lean forward to dash, etc instead of just controlling a lightsaber. It also doesnt require anything in the hands, and I found holding a paper towel roll nice for feedback

>>105776980
>what server do you play on?

why would i play a piece of shit game?

Yeah, can you fuck off and die?

If Lucasarts knows what's good for them, they will commission Raven Software to make another Jedi Knight game for the PC (then port to consoles for the kiddies, of course).

Ah who am I kidding. Lucasarts is in the trash because they keep trying to force prequel shit down our throats. Activision would dictate that Raven make the game for the XBawks, give the multiplayer a leveling up and unlock system, and release $15 map packs, then piss a ton of people off by making an extremely shitty port to the PC even though the --ENTIRE-- fanbase of the previous games exists on the PC.

>>105778174
>a paper towel roll
Lucasarts sure knows how to fund a studio

>>105777923
lightsaber game is pretty much the same unfortunately. Podracing is similar to the podracing game for n64, but obviously better graphics and levels. The thing that bothers me is that I always feel the need to pick up a controller when testing the game. The kinect controls make it really hard to do well in races.

>>105778389
well but since Kinect has that recognizing shape thing tech, you could just make it so you can use even a plate to play.

Guys, please keep in my that he's a developper; he didn't choose to work on this game, or make it the way it is. He probably has bosses who tell him what to do (even if the team can brainstorm on ideas, it still goes back to the boss for the decision).

All I want to know, OP, is not even about that game. Couldn't care less about it. I just want to know if there are still some talks within LucasArts or some other company about making another jedi knight/battlefront/republic commando game? i'm not asking if they're in development, just if people talk about them at all, or they're just taboo subjects?

Give me a flicker of hope. Tell me not all of LucasArts are a bunch of stupid pricks.

>>105778174
oh of course, the obscurity problem. so it still happens even with you facing the kinect at all times?

>holding a paper towel roll nice for feedback
say, can you guys give suggestions? this game could have a premium edition with a plastic lightsaber.
