Playstation Move support for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II?

Many gamers are asking for it, yet the developers of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II have decided to go the traditional route and use good old controllers with analog sticks, d-pads and buttons, instead of the Playstation Move and the Wii-Motion Plus.

Here's some reasons straight from the mouth of the developers as to why they decided to do that, and what we can expect for the future of the evasive "properly - done" motion-controlled Lightsaber.

Plus, how motion controlled melee combat has failed before, where it has worked out successfully and what that all means for the future.

Cool... Looking forward to it!

Not just the headline

[toaster]

Judging by Force Unleashed gameplay, you'd be flailing your arms around like a little retard. If they dumb it down, say a combo is only one swipe in a single direction then people will complain that it isn't hardcore enough...

[seinfan]

toaster speaks truth.

[Game-ur]

Not even Bruce Lee can keep up with the combo speed in Unleashed. It would have to be a whole new game.

Imagine a Move Star Wars game like Red Steel 2 on the Killzone 3 engine.

dual wield the light saber then sold. Hopefully, there will be move support for future Harry Potter games like Sorcery.

[Hideo_Kojima]

Maybe slow motion parts let you use the Moves 1 to 1 tracking somehow?

[NastyLeftHook1]

hell yes

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

star wars would be awesome with move

[llMurcielagoll]

Would be super awesome to switch on and off your light saber (dual or single handed) with the move button whenever, wherever in the game. Maybe annoy your friends who are watching you play Force unleashed 2 by Switching on off on off and they shout "STOP DOING THAT! THE SOUND EFFECT IS ANNOYING YOU -BLEEP-n IDIOT!"

hahaha looking forward to it

I can't imagine waving my Move around for hours slashing the empty air would be good for my shoulder.

[Close_Second]

...but its probably better for you than sitting round on your ass for the same amount of time just twiddling your thumbs.

[seinfan]

Yeah, let's all look like we masturbate for extended periods of time when the arm starts to bulk up.

[Hideo_Kojima]

If you play to much you will look like Quagmire when he discovered internet porn.

What's wrong with your shoulder?

[SexyPrawns]

It wouldn't work with the gameplay.

I liked the demo. I didn't like the first game, but still.

[kasasensei]

The problem is : 2 sabers, so 2 move? argh....

[Blaster_Master]

Sony could have just added another bulb to the navigator, but that would have made too much sense.

[walker01]

not quite....the ps eye can only track a few bulb things so putting 2 on 1 control woulve limited the amount of controls even more

[Blaster_Master]

how many people do you think fit in front of a camera dude. More than 2 people doesn't make sense anyways. Also, the bulb on a navigator doesn't have to be used for every game if it dont need it. I wonder how many of you guys graduated high school? Many of you couldn't find your way out of a paper bag let alone enough common sense to talk about engineering design for a video game controller.

[Wizziokid]

I can't see it working if you had to use two move control's because how would you use the nav controller??

[kasasensei]

Use the force.

[bananlol]

Somehow that was hilarious.

[Wizziokid]

love that!! :)

[gedapeleda]

I don't see a move controler in any kond of star wars game cuz they're to expensive to throw

[BrutallyBlunt]

If they can somehow convince developers to add Move support to a lot of games. That's the good thing with Move as it can be applied to games that can also be played with a standard controller.

I can see why they chose not to on the Wii since it does not have a camera to track in 3D.

[btk]

Most likely not to offend Kinect that they decided not to have motion controls in this edition. Everyone knows that sabre fighting with Move will work and on Kinect it will be a joke. Is this the first example of Kinect holding back motion control games even before it is launched?

[BrutallyBlunt]

So not only is the XBOX360 holding back the Playstation 3 because it doesn't have a hard drive in each system and it still uses DVD, but a sequel to an established IP that came out long before the Move is being held back now because of Kinect? Some of you people need to move on and stop grasping so hard and trying to turn everything into some silly console war. Kinect has nothing to do with it and ad-libbing your Kinect hate into the discussion is not only juvenile but makes you sound like a fanboy. What's next, Kinect held back Resident Evil 5?

I guess i can't expect a response either, Mr. 1 Bubble.

[vhero]

The thing about that star wars kinect game is it was to show what in theory Kinect can do it may not even see the light of day. Like way back when we saw the FFVIII tech demo for PS3 before PS3 launch. Sure people have got it into their heads it's coming out but there's no official word on that so Kinect isn't holding anything back in reality. It would be cool to have a motion control star wars game and surprised there hasn't been one on wii to this date. Force unleashed though would be weird with Move/kinect in my opinion as theres too much going on to use move but that's just me. You would need to build a star wars game around motion controls not the other way around. That's basically what the article is saying too.

[jneul]

move was made for star wars, i mean just look at the bulb at the end it can change to any lightsaber color you want, all we need is an add-n which transforms move into a lightsaber and we are done here :-D
Then we have the unique 1:1 3d control of move, if anyone saw that tech demo of sword fighting, star wars can easily be done with move!!

[bobdog626]

It could be done very Easy.I wonder why Sony did not see this

[DarkFantasy]

could be done but you could probably only have 1 lightsaber

[darren_poolies]

Fingers crossed.
