When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
Pascal Blanché has joined Arcanaut Studios as Studio Art Director on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, working with Casey Hudson.
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
yeah basically all the could do is the voice control... I'm pretty sure that would have been possible with a headset?
It would have been great if you could lift enemies with biotics with Kinect and slam them where you want.
You could argue that speaking the line is more immersive but... doesn't quite work well enough yet
"A total and fundamental integration of Kinect would really require us to design a game from the ground up specifically for that experience, and with the 3rd title in a series it wasn’t the time to re-invent how people play our game," Hudson explained. "But we did see the voice control as a definite value-add, and with Kinect it’s relatively easy for us to implement."
in other words, we couldn't care less about this gimmick so we just threw in something to shut Microsoft up.
Hey Kinect... Everyone is laughing at you!
