I think that the saber fights would be pretty good with PS Move, but what about all the other features? The force, the pod racing....

lol Meerkat keep enjoying your family oriented games

gamingdroid......that would be buttons dude plus the navigator. Easily done

Its a shame and irony that a dancing game is the only type of game so far that people tend to use against moves functionality. Move has more genres covered. If a game was made from the ground up im sure you'd get a different experience altogether. Deciding what would be better would be pure speculation on my part

@ those that disagree

What features of the kinect starwars games couldnt be replicated from the footage we've seen. Force push, button or stab motion like sports champion. Movement...too easy, jumping , button. In fact the game probably wouldnt have to be on rails. if you feel otherwise be do share some of your wisdom. A disagree doesnt mean what im saying isnt valid

the pod racing is very easy to do...
use the move as a steering wheel is possible...
Jedi powers can be done with the move too...yes you won't do it with your bare hands...
but the star wars game I saw ...didn't look like fun

jedi powers will work fine with move, and you won't have to wait a half second to see them either. swordplay will be better with move, movement will be possible with move (no more on rails crap)... it's just better suited all around for move.

just because it can doesnt mean it will. Cool idea but then again it is the same idea with the wii. A star wars game using the wiimote could be just as interactive as a move version.

Thing is, they are trying to make a game WITHOUT such things. MS and lucasarts are doing this deal. Not sony and lucasarts.

Let's be honest the Move is perfect for Star wars. It already looks like a decapitated light sabre and it can change colors. Who wants fitness games other than flabby men and mums?

"Its a shame and irony that a dancing game is the only type of game so far that people tend to use against moves functionality. Move has more genres covered."

Well, if you look at the type of games out, they are all controller based so it is no surprise then that PS Move covers more genre. After all, it had 5 years of history with the Wii.

How many PS Move games are specific to PS Move's own features? Stuff that can't be done on the Wii or be better on the present controller?

If it there isn't then it is redundant!

Point being that it isn't about if it can be done, but does it make the experience better? Certainly dance games can be done on the PS Move or Wii, but it certainly is better on the Kinect. So yes, the saber routine is better, but the force push isn't. You can press a button move your PS move around, but it isn't as good of an experience is it....

Kinect brings something new to the table, something people haven't been able to really explore due to technical requirements and I think it will take some time to iron those issues out. It just hasn't had 5-40 years of evolution.

I think Kinect shows a lot of promise when you see a lot of ideas being presented. It means it has potential and I take potential any day over known quantity. It might pan out, it might not, but so far there are plenty of stuff coming for Kinect and I don't feel under-supported when I plunked that $100 down.

Hmmm

@ gamingdroid:

Force Push could easily be done with the Move in a similair way as with Kinect. Just hold a button to active the Force and then jab your controller forward. Same idea, probably even reacts faster then Kinect.

Star Wars Kinect will probably end up casual junk. I hope I'm wrong but that's what it looks like.

And where is this so called 'potential' you talk about? For dancing games, Kinect is ideal. But most of the stuff we've seen is Eyetoy like minigames. Have you seen the video of someone playing a shooter with Kinect? How is that immersive? Pulling the trigger is like pretending you're a Dragonball Z character. I hate to bust your bubble, but Kinect will probably never become more then dancing games, minigames, and some optional gimmicks in big titles (Forza walking mode and steering etc).

I've played KZ3 with the Move, and I can tell you, after you get used to it, it's very accurate. Forgive me for almost quoting Kevin Butler but we need buttons to play most genres normally, whether you like it or not ;)

Fitness and Dance?
*Sells Move and nav, buys Kinect*

Now if LucasArts gets their heads out of their rears and actually DOES it...

lucasartsis complete trash this generation. their decisions are terrible they rather make forced unleashed instead of battlefront 3 and make a kinect game instead of on for move. people are begging for bf3 and they release garbage no one wants

@why o why?

Can they implement dual saber wielding for PS move while allowing you to move freely?

An example is like Rise of nightmare for example. where u can still move around freely(might still be a bit clunky) but you can dual wield and such.

What certain people so oddly forget is that the PS Eye can do the same basic kind of Camera based movement recognition as Kinect BUT has the added benefit of using the PS Move for REAL precision and dual wielding in this scenario.

Win = PS Eye being able to do what Kinect can do along with the PS Move adding an additional level of capability/accuracy that the Kinect CANNOT match.

Done.

I See Metal Gear Rising Would be Perfect, cause you always gotta stop and shoot in MGS, so Stop And Slice the Living Hell out of Fruit Ninja with 1:1 move animation..... If that doesnt happen , Metal Gear Rising..officially lost all my Interest

It should be obvious by now why there is a Kinect Star Wars game and no Move Star Wars game... Because Microsoft paid them not to do a Move game.

That's what MS does; pays people to not make games for others, so people who don't buy their console lose enjoyment, holding us hostage with our favourite franchises!

Sony pays other people to make additional games, lets everyone have their favourite franchises and then tries to sell you on there massive library of games on top of that.

Sorry, not trolling, but I just hate that MS does that!

@darthv72

No it wouldn't. There is a very significant difference between he Move and Wiimote that many people overlook. With the Move the game can keep track of where the controller is even when it's not pointed at the TV. If the Wiimote is not pointing at the sensor then the game can only know the orientation, speed and direction of motion, but not where the controller is in space.

i would like to see a lightsaber kinda like the move sharpshooter. that would be fkn awesome. but will never happen :(

@ baodeus

Dude, you cant even move freely on the kinect version. Its on rails with simple left right forward backward flip gestures with. That is NO WAY free roaming. With move you'd probably have to give up the duel ls unless it too was on rails so what would really be the difference there other than accuracy in moves favour. With 1 ls and free movement plus buttons you can create a more complex/core type star wars game that gestures and body tracking cant replicate yet and probably never will if we're being honest. Why do you think all the games are so simple. Like i said, from the ground up the move version would be different and probably more complex...it wouldnt need to be on rails for starters

@oner and Why o Why

Kinect star war might still be on rail true, i'm not sure, but i did give example that you can move around in rise of nightmare (it is free movement, not on rail), plus other kinect hack videos (L4D, Dead Space for examples) show that you can move around freely using kinect. They can make it freemovement for star war if they want as well (but maybe they op for on rail instead, don't know). If you still say those videos/games aren't proof that it can do free movement then i don't know what else to say. I mean u guys can go look it up on youtube right, or do i need to post it on here for u as well?

So i'm asking, can you move around using 2 PS move (not navigator) with the eyetoy, in answering to your question about what kinect can do that PS can't. Are u saying you can face the eyetoy for the motion gesture or do you have stand sideway for it to "possibly" recognize your movement gestures? Can ps eye detect in 3D plane as kinect?

Now Unless sony turn the move and navigator into one single device (which is very unlikely), do you think it would be easier to use the move+nav while swinging your light saber wildly, standing side way with your head turn toward the tv so the eyetoy might possibly recognize your gesture and pressing buttons at the same times vs just kinect? I would like to hear your opinion on this matter.

So can kinect do freemovement, yes it can. It is good currently, not yet that is for sure and yes the ps move are more accurate currently. Can it improve or through other method such as implementing virtual buttons in the future? Yes it can (go look up on kinect hacks videos for proof). Think of its possibilities, not its current limitation. If that is what you guys think, how can we ever improve on anything?

If you read the article, the guy really isn't sure it would work that well with the Move: "However, if they were to implement this then Sony had better get their act together and just make those moves a little more precise. When you do the small movements Move is fantastic, but when you make much larger and faster movements things have just a slight lag – maybe that’s why LucasArts went with the Kinect after all?"

I don't know which version would be better. What I know, is that if you want something in your hand, while playing Kinect Star Wars, you are free to grab one of your many wii attachments, even a Move if you have one, and the game will allow you to play that way.

I also know that your avatar is not limited to his hands, so developers don't need to script animations for you.

There are many reasons why developers are more attracted to making games for Kinect. To assume this game will be better with the Move is just speculative.

kinect does more that dance games and the best selling Kinect game has no dancing (Zero!).

Am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about a motion controlled Star Wars game on any system? GIVE ME STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3!!! With a standard controller. (BTW: I own both Move and Kinect).
