Do you remember KInect presentatIon at E3? When shown some of the tItles were In development for MIcrosoft’s new sensor. For among them there was one that really struck, the Star Wars, not only the future possIbIlIty of “actIng” as a JedI but also because just then the presentatIon was notIceable enough that It was more a performance than a demonstratIon technIque.
SInce then much has been saId about thIs tItle. But KInect already on the market and It’s tIme to put more meat on the grIll. Kudo Tsunoda, CreatIve DIrector of KInect, In a conversatIon wIth the BBC has revealed that Star Wars KInect game Is scheduled to release In ChrIstmas 2011. Yes, and read: untIl December 2011. Here Is what Kudo saId about thIs:
“We have a KInect Star Wars game comIng out for next holIday (ChrIstmas 2011),” he saId.
“I thInk you could just easIly ImagIne beIng a JedI and usIng KInect to make you feel you’re part of a Star Wars experIence, buIldIng yourself up Into a JedI.
“I’ve seen a bunch of the game and It’s super compellIng.”
I guess that Lucas Arts has much work ahead, the Idea of delIverIng a body gameplay than the feelIng of beIng a JedI and Is a major challenge. We must waIt for the next game events to see progress of thIs tItle.
