Anakenobi Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 According to IGN, LucasArts expresses interest in bringing a lightsaber game to Wii. So.... If you don't wanna end like this guy here: Then everybody who buys the lightsaber game for Wii, should avoid having people filming you while you play. But then again, there is a positive side.... for you can be immortalized in Family Guy: This public announcement was brought to you by the good people at youtube.com.
ShadowV7 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Good news and I see family guy has ripped the Star Wars kid
Anakenobi Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 No pictures are available at the moment. But the news story is actually old. I though everybody knew about this. I just wanted ppl to know what to avoid. Anywho, here's an except from the source: From IGN.com: May 11, 2006 - During a technical demonstration for an unnamed Xbox 360 and PS3 Star Wars title, LucasArts made note to announce high interest in creating a Wii title in the Star Wars universe, with lightsaber battles in mind. At the end of the demonstration questions were raised about the possibility of such a game, garnering knowing smiles from the room of LucasArts employees. Comments of "We are looking into it" were heard from members of their staff as ideas for the game were discussed among the people in the room. http://revolution.ign.com/articles/707/707824p1.html
Anakenobi Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 Well it seems it wasn't news to mario114. And thus I suppose it is possibly news to many more. Anywhoo, the news bit wasn't even the point of this topic, you gibbon.
Nintendork Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 He sued you know? Emotional trauma or something I think. They even put him in Tony Hawks. PS. Made a thread about it already- the only footage we've seen from Lucas Arts was their physics stuff for the New Indiana game which will use a similar engine I think.
Anakenobi Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 He sued you know?Emotional trauma or something I think. They even put him in Tony Hawks. Not yet. But he sued a lot of people, most of them former school mates. In a few years, he'll look back and have a laugh or two. I hope.
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Whats the point in lightsaber battles if its gonna suck? You got to get it right for it to be fun.
goku21 Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 It perfectly matches lucasarts new AI and ragdoll-behavior!!! On IGN there´s a video and a report about the subject. Here: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/702/702423p1.html and here http://ps3.ign.com/articles/706/706019p1.html
Mokong Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 i've never seen Star Wars Kid before that was classic, oh poor guy (don't beat N64 kid though), but getting into Family Guy is kinda cool (i'm assuming he got paid for it?)
Cube Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I read in an interview somewhere that Iwata thought about a lightsaber game, and had the idea for the speaker in the Wiimote from it. edit: not quite We really want [filmmaker George] Lucas to think about making a game where this can be used as a light saber. It should be fun. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002990889_ethree13.html
Mokong Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I read in an interview somewhere that Iwata thought about a lightsaber game, and had the idea for the speaker in the Wiimote from it. OMG, thats a great idea, i can't believe i never thought of it, or heard it before now, lightsabre "wuzzzz" sounds coming out of the the Wiimote, yes please
Fanelia Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Imagine buzzing lightsaber-sounds comming from the wiimote speaker. That's just great. I'm quite the Warsie so this is good news. edit: so obviously this has already been posted in other form. Way to go Fanny. Arent I the perceptive one.
Max Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 he was in American Dad and not Family Guy, same makers as family guy. its the episode where the alian decides to go to the conventions and a "hobbit" is playing games with the CIA.
Ashley Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 He was also parodied in Arrested Development. But this whole thing is kinda pointless.
mario_jr Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 Do not try to be like this guy, or should I say Idiot. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1TxTxAhaCLM&search=wii
BeerMonkey Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 that star wars kid in a legend....hes just doing what every star wars fan would do in there bedroom if they had a pole and only just seen the film :P
Jamba Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 that star wars kid in a legend....hes just doing what every star wars fan would do in there bedroom if they had a pole and only just seen the film :P Exactly, the only thing that makes him a prick is the way he's reacted. Made a living out of being a victim though, which is err good? Ok no...
Sooj Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Do not try to be like this guy, or should I say Idiot. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1TxTxAhaCLM&search=wii If the Wii Star Wars game had a one to one lightsaber match online would be amazing. The worst bit would be facing guys like this guy online, he will completely obliterate me! But then, do youo guys believe that the Wii-mote would be good enough to pick up every movement made by this man? Will the Wii-mote be able to realise when the controller is behind your back?
