Apparently Darth V. had Starkiller's dead body cloned on Kamino. What an original way to bring him back to life.

It's so much easier to pull stuff like that out of one's behind in order to create a more generic plot, or something.

What an original way for George Lucas to milk more money out of Star Wars fans.
Woo.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

That trailer looks bad. Sure the graphics are stunning, but the plot looks awful. Basically, just so that Starkiller can survive, they make it that Darth Vader leaves him with Stormtroopers, and why did he clone him just to betray him again? The title is stupid, because there were like 5 betrayals in the original, the original was great fun though. It kind of looks like they're milking out money by making a game that basically looks like one tiny bit of the original (as if it wasn't short enough) with good graphics.

Meh.

Its been going for hours and it is boring as hell. When I was watching it earlier it was just some Microsoft guys making up lies about how there consoles games are better than any other systems. Also I cant stand the accents on some of the presenters.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

Oh... no?

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

I thought Microsoft had an alright conference. Kinectimals looks extremely creepy. I can't say any Kinect games appealed to me. Some of them had an "arcade" kind of appeal, like Kinect Adventures, but I can't say I'd play them often enough to justify a purchase, even though they may be fun for a little while. I thought the media capabilities of Kinect were extremely cool, however. Not enough reason for me to buy one, though.

The new 360 looks pretty ugly, but I like the glossiness. Apparently, the Arcade 360 bundled with Kinect will be $300, the Elite will be $400. I can't help but feel that's a little expensive, especially when their target audience knows they can get a Wii for $200.

I'm looking forward to the Nintendo and Sony conferences tomorrow. I'm intrigued by the 3DS, and I'm hoping for a few surprises from Nintendo. The Move looks to be a better Wii, so I'm hoping Sony will show off some more (and better) games, because I like what I see of the Move so far.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

The new Xbox 360 doesn't have any HD cables, just the RCA cables... FFFFFFFUUUUUUU
Looks like I'm going to stick with my bulky and noisy 360. I'm gonna buy Kinect no matter how stupid the games at launch are. I'm looking forward to controlling the Dashboard, or the "Hub" with Kinect.

New Rayman game announced by Ubisoft, apparently only 5 people worked on it and it has a hand-drawn style. mini/bigsmile Can't wait to see more of it.

There aren't enough 2D Rayman games. If it's anywhere close in quality to the original, I'll be most pleased.

I'd also like to see another 3D Rayman game. Rayman 2: Revolution is my favorite 3D platformer of all time (even superior to Mario 64, IMO).

Hold on there boy, you're judging waaay too fast with too little knowledge. The plot has only been half released, and what has been released looks like it may be interesting. As to why Darth V. betrayed him, read up on it some. I believe it has been explained. The title of that trailer isn't the title of the game, FYI. And as for that last statement, yeah, you're judging too fast with too little knowledge. I don't think it will be just "a tiny bit of the original with better graphics" The gameplay looks like it will be a lot better, if only because you'll actually be able to dice people with your lightsaber. And the plot also seems like it will be a lot different, for better or for worse.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

Looks awesome. Was it announced which platform(s) it's coming too? I didn't see anything in the trailer.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

For everything they are saying the Kinect is capable of, it sure looks like crap. I was pretty excited when Project Natal was announced, but it's starting to look pretty grim.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

Same thing with Playstation Move, I was worried that Natal and Move would crush the Wii, but now I don't see how that's possible.

Don't be fooled, my avatar is a facade of conformity.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

I only watched half an hour, but it really seemed to be a flop. A fair few demos seemed choreographed. None of the articles have given very flattering reviews of the show, either.

The new xbox hardware looks sweet, though. Built in wifi? reduced hardware risks? doesn't sound like a train? hells yes!

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

Nintendo's E3 conference is today. Expecting Nintendo to wow me with the Nintendo 3DS and hopefully a new Zelda game.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

The Kinect stuff at E3 was choreographed, and not very well.
