'Star Wars' at E3: Your first look at 'Kinect Star Wars' (Entertainment Weekly)

Entertainment Weekly: Star Wars fans, prepare to connect with The Force in a kinectic way. On Monday, Microsoft Studios and LucasArts will formally announce the first Star Wars video game for Kinect, Microsoft’s hands-free, your-body-is-the-controller playing experience for the Xbox 360. Simply called Kinect Star Wars, the game is intended for all ages and will hit stores this winter. Microsoft will preview the game this at E3 (aka the Electronic Entertainment Expo), the video game industry’s annual confab at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Check out the trailer for a peek at the game and the gameplay

Let's all just pretend this trash does not exist.

[Max_Dissatisfaction]

If only the same could be said about you...wait, it can

[fr0sty]

If you had any room to talk, you wouldn't have resorted to personal attacks rather than engaging in a debate about why you disagree. To call someone trash just because they don't like a video game is pretty low. Good thing you only have one bubble, so we won't be hearing any more of that from you in this discussion.

Grow up kid. Quit getting so involved in fanboy bias that you hate on people for expressing their opinion on a video game. Many of us did not like that trailer at all, and we're no more trash than those who did like it. It's just a damn video game.

I think this looks great. I remember as a kid I would imagine I was skywalker and used a lightsaber in my hand even though I didn't have one. As a kid I had such an imagination. Running around and pretending I had the little grapple hook swinging across from one platform to the other with Leia in my arms rescuing her. Now, I can relive the days of my youth doing the exact same thing except I will no longer be imagining it...I will actually see it.

Thank you MS, George Lucas and Kinect. Growing up, sometimes we forget about what it was like being young and the imagination we once had. Not caring what other people thought, we were in our own little world and we liked it. When this comes out, it looks like I will be able to revisit that world that I had once forgotten many years ago.

I couldn't agree with you more man. I see all these know PS3 zealots in here trashing anything Kinect, but I think I will really like this, and if nothing else I will like watching my son enjoy it.

Unfortunately the 9 year olds of today could care less about Starwars. They`re too busy trying to pretend they`re adults.

[ElementX]

The correct phrase is "couldn't care less".

[BeastlyRig]

Meh SWTOR will own!

[D2K]

I'm with you on that one. Too old for this stuff. This game is 20 years too late. It might be fun for the kiddies, but I won't be playing it.

[Inside_out]

I couldn't agree more. This is some really great technology we are seeing here. Kinect and casual gaming go hand in hand...lol

I'm looking forward to the games that were announced at the TGS last year. They look really interesting and geared towards a more mature audience.

What's funny about Kinect and the haters is first they claimed it didn't work...how dumb are these guys. Then they said nobody would buy it...LOL...and we know how that turned out, 10++ million and a world record for fastest selling electronic gadget. Now they are saying M$ doesn't have anything to show at E3...you know what this means, M$ is going to have a great E3.

[MostSpartan 14]

I think it looks like it may have potential.

[gaden_malak]

ehh waving your hands on a rail game? I guess it could be fun.

[D2K]

Yeah, I didn't see any of the intuitive 1-to-1 we were promised LAST YEAR at E3 in this demo. There was clearly waggle in there. Pass.

[gaden_malak]

Wasn't last year the pre-planned demo?

[theIMP]

I think it looks more fun than trolling N4G articles hating on a devise you don't own.

[Munky]

I'm starting to realize that MS will be focusing on Kinect in a major way at E3. Which makes sense since they have invested so much time and effort into it, but I pray that they have some "hardcore" reveals.

[Nac]

Since Star Wars is all about the Clone Wars this generation, this makes a lot of sense.

[m23]

Are they hinting at 3d? It seems like it, but then again it might just be me.

[Razzamataz]

YT link for the trailer.

[baldulf]

This is just shameful.

[Valvatorez]

Small girl:''Mommy,why is that man flapping his arms around and jumping up and down on the spot?''
@Disagree Monkeys
Yeah,this looks like the real games MS promised us./s
I didn't buy a 360 for this crap,I want real games that don't make me look like a spaz!

[optimus]

...because he's having fun??

[Valvatorez]

....because MS abandoned him and left him with shite to play?
And don't start with Gears,I know were getting that.

[optimus]

so far i have enjoyed the kinect games that i have. moreso for the simple reason that it keeps me active as appose to sitting on my butt for a few hours at a time.

[Kon]

Wow really funny. You should do standup. Derp.

[Valvatorez]

@Optimus
Ok and thats good for you,but MS needs to balance things out.
Also Sorry if I came across as a dick in my comments,I just reread them-I think I sounded like a dick! Anyway,Peace out bro!

[DigitalRaptor]

This looks to be a bunch of on-rails mini games.

And Microsoft is pretending it's gonna be this all-out epic Star Wars game. It looks so bad and forced. Some people were harsh on the Force Unleashed games, but they look incredible by comparison.

The pod-racing looks like the only really good thing.

[lowcarb]

Not sure what to make of it yet but it definitely feels like Star Wars and may have potential. Rails suck but it can still be good sense your playing with no controller.

[cossie123]

starnge thing is the xbox power button looks different from the old revision xbox and the new slim xbox. take a look and youll see

[andron]

I thought Lucasarts were going to get serious about games again, then they release this trailer. Good timing folks...
