Ok - so maybe that last part is my own editorial addition, but after the resounding dissapointment with the title at E3 2011, Microsoft and LucasArts have now decided to delay the title to " ensure the full potential of this title is realized." That 'potential', I would imagine, being the game actually turning out 'good.'
A spokesmen speaking to OXM continued, " "This move applies to both the Kinect Star Wars stand-alone game and the Kinect Star Wars Limited Edition Console. We will communicate additional timing information at a later date."
At this point it looks like we can expect the title sometime in 2012, which is completely welcome considering just how many great games we still have to play in 2011. Plus, it's Star Wars and even though it's a Kinect game there's a small part of our geek hearts that want it to succeed. Lest another part of my childhood die a little inside.

They probably realized that the competition with the Fable 4 rail shooter will be too stiff.

Thank God! Now my little cousin can stop bothering me to get it for him when it comes out, along with the star wars console.

Good. though I'm wondering when kinect devs will realize that rail shooters are terrible, and that character movement (that is, "left-stick" movement) could be given over to the players left hand while the right hand can swing. But of course then you've got the problem of look direction vs swing direction and.... who thought kinect was a good idea again?

”This move applies..."
^Read that sentence in 1960s Batman riddle solving logic asap, Lucas!

This is too funny.

It's surprisingly that it took them a few months to finally realize that.

Lightsaber flop!
Seriously is there anything they could do to "save" this game? From the E3 demos and impressions from other people I'm sure I'm not the only one that expects nothing from this game.
They may be able to make some improvements to the game overall, but at this point it just seems like they are delaying the inevitable rather than doing anything to improve the game.

And the world goes on...

Hahaha, I saw this one coming.
14 years, 2 months ago
Who knows? If they put the time into it this could be the next Jedi Outcast.
Oh wow, I almost typed that with a straight face.

I'm not surprised that this game is being delayed.

I played this at comic con and the people at the demo were way over excited about the game that it almost felt like they were ashamed of it.
14 years, 2 months ago
Good, this is good news. Very good news.
14 years, 2 months ago
This delay is surprising. I was expecting cancellation.
14 years, 2 months ago
Yeah, wouldn't want LucasArts to throw out something without it being "good".
OH WAIT.

glad they made the right pick to delay the game
14 years, 2 months ago
I'm not looking forward to this even if they made it well....star wars in gaming......I'm not fond of
14 years, 2 months ago
Maybe they'll make a decent Star Wars game in the mean-time

and not a single fuck was given this day.
14 years, 2 months ago
Regret, ON!
14 years, 2 months ago
Just give me Battlefront 3 god damn you!
14 years, 2 months ago
Lightsaber ON!
I'm not even a star wars fan and know thats NOT how it's done. I don't own a kinect, i'm still waiting to see an actual good game on it that isn't just a glorified tech demo. TBH i don't even then i'd buy one.
I read recently that they're saying that we'll see vast improvements in kinect in the next 10 years...so here's hoping for decent titles in say 2021?
14 years, 2 months ago
NO! Not because they delayed the game, but because the delay also means a delay on that sweet R2D2 360 with the C3P0 controller!! Ahh I want that 360 soo bad!
14 years, 2 months ago
gosh, this game doesn't look fun. I can see myself playing it and getting bored after 5 minutes :)
14 years, 2 months ago
From some advance reports, sounds like it's for the best.
I still dearly want a Battlefront 3. I adored those two games.
14 years, 2 months ago
yep they're going to turn this travesty into a masterpiece then they're going to release battlefront 3 along with the 7th star wars film all in the same year.(I can dream can't I)
14 years, 2 months ago
This is a blatant play to get into the hype that will start up once Lucas starts the adds for the first 3D Star Wars. I doubt they will do anything to "fix" the game, and instead they will just sit on the product until release. I doubt they'll sink any more money into a game that should have come out on the Wii years ago.
14 years, 2 months ago
THANK GOD,if they had released it as is,I'd cry in pain.
14 years, 2 months ago
I have no interest in this game, but it's nice to see a developer realizing they can't release something they feel is bad and try to fix it.
14 years, 2 months ago
Lightsaber, ON!

Honestly, im pretty sure everyone can agree that this game looks like crap. lucasarts looks like they are going downhill with every Star Wars game they make. im a Star Wars fan and even im dissapointed. I enjoyed Battlefront 2 a lot. If they brung in Battlefront 3 do they even know how much sales they will get? how much profit there is to be made there? If they bring back Battlefront and make it work, Star Wars will be alive again and then we c all enjoy Star Wars without having to think about those other crappy games that have nothing to do with...anything! Does anybody agree with me?
