You've seen what the new Kinect Star Wars Xbox 360 console looks like, but what sounds does it make? Get ready to annoy all but the most hardcore of Star Wars fans with the emotional noise of R2-D2.
Skip to around the 3:24 mark to hear R2-D2 do his thing when you power up the console or eject the disc tray.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
lol I remember this. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the Star Wars Holiday Special
That's probably the coolest limited edition console I've ever seen.
I like it, but I like the gold controller more.
Sad part is, I want the Halo Rach and Gears 3 ones to.
I have a PS3, and this is something I really like about MS. They have released a lot of special editions for the 360, and they are better than the PS3's. I wish Sony did that too instead of just releasing bundles.
I love the R2D2 sounds , cool idea.
I think I'm going to just buy the controller and white kinect on ebay.
