I think that's 20% of the iPhone game marketplace.

trounbyfire5453d ago

microsoft just said it uses a controller and kinect but yeah looks ewwwww

Rainstorm815453d ago

who would want to play this with a controller...or with kinect for that matter.

The gameplay looked very laggy and unresponsive, and quite frankly not that fun at all

Myze5453d ago (Edited 5453d ago )

Considering the kid games looked ok for kids, I would have to say this was the worst looking game at Microsoft's conference (not talking about graphics, which were actually ok).

It had terribly slow response times, it's on rails, the game feels distant from the story world of Star Wars (as in, just a SW skin to appease fans, and connecting it to Star Wars and giving it that feel should have been easy considering the short amount of time shown). The only thing that could be kind of cool is the pod racing.

I noticed some pretty bad lag between action and response too. It really is sad that Kinect can only seem to do on-rails. Especially since I have Kinect and have been waiting for something a little more impressive than what is available right now.

And going forward in-game by doing a chest-bumping action?

...really?

Adva5453d ago

I saw a delay in action/reaction ;|

trounbyfire5453d ago

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
