Microsofts “Kinect” Launch Features New Star Wars Title?

Well, we on the eve of this years E3 event where many of us are eagerly awaiting whether or not LucasArts will finally announce Battlefront 3. In the meantime, Kotaku.com is reporting that Microsoft’s “Project Natal” or now know as “Kinect” will be hooking up with LucasArts for a unannounced Star Wars title.
Could this possibly be our long awaiting Battlefront 3? I highly doubt it, but one never know and the video demo looks pretty damn cool.

Check it out below:

Perhaps the best “game” we saw yesterday at Microsoft’s Kinect launch event was a Star Wars title. Why? Why don’t you take a look yourself.

Take all this with a sizable grain of salt, of course, as you always should with on-stage demonstrations, but anyone that watches this and isn’t at least a little excited (at the potential, if not the stilted performance from this obviously-not-actually-playing-the-game actor) is either lying or is a cold, barren husk of a person.

Microsofts Kinect will be available on November 4th, 2010.

On a side note, our community forum is growing quite large, so be sure to join in the discussions via the link below. Our other Forum Administrator is also putting on a great game which will feature some pretty cool prizes as well as forum special privileges!

          it’s a video game, relax.

          it’s not an exclusive. period. how do i know? lucasarts likes money.

          why did any of you expect anything at E3 after we found out the game’s on ice since it was determined it couldn’t make a 2010 release?

          christ.

            Bah swbf3 isn’t coming out any time soon not this year and by all means, i won’t be surprised if it was not next year. Its even possible its not being made at all.

      They will never do that…this is only an exclusive because what Lucas Arts is making it for is only on one console(Microsoft Kinect) but
      I am sure they will come out with a similar one for the PlayStation Move (I am guessing)

      Even though it was canned it might get picked back up. So dont lose hope guys if its not battlefront 3 and it might be a remix of battlefront 2 for the all consoles and platforms. I would love even a remix so I can play battlefront online again since they cancelled xbox original service.

      It could be either tomorrow or the day after.

      On IGN E3 Schedule, they have listed games “confidential.” SW BF III could be listed as “confidential.”

      Look at program schedule for more details:

    it won’t be TFU 2, they are completely separate things, espeically with TFU2 being released on multiplke consoles not just the360. and game trailers displayed a sneak preview of the game, it’s nothing like TFU. and i doub its BFIII, because the gameplay was just a jedi walking and slowly slicing and blockin stuff, and the hud and screen was nothing you’d expect to see out of a fps or tps. It doesnt involve the same gameplay mechanics as the BF franchise, so its most likely its own separate series.

    It’s definitely not TFU2. BUT it definitely looks interesting. Character looks more like X2 so it COULD be a followup to the story of Elite Squadron.

    Lotsa “confidential” over the next few days on the schedules. WHo knows, maybe BFIII will be one of them?

      Keep in mind that in the end of Elite Squadron, the Empire was defeated, and with the Empire, Darth Vader was defeated also. Let’s hope that before he was killed he DIDN’T take the TFU 2 path and make a million clones of himself…

    Wait a second…are those droid “tanks” (in lack of a better word)? There are stormtroopers there! Stormtroopers never used CIS tanks OR vulture droids. Plus, I believe this is Naboo (although that is not relevant).

      Well because there are stormtroopers at Jedi, and the Jedi isn’t luke skywalker, then i’m sure this game takes place somewhere right after Ep. 3 when there are still a few Jedi left. Maybe there are still leftover droid tanks here and there.

        Well, in one of the Bf2 missions the Empire is taking on the CIS on Mustafar…mabe it has something to do with that? Mabe the empire is hunting down the CIS remanants? that could be an interesting game.

    Notice the moment where the jedi turns on his lightsaber against vader and when the guy does the movement. Can it actually predict what we’re gonna do?

    Do you think Sony Press Conference at E3 will be previewing Battlefront III on the PS3?

    I know LucasArts have their own booth at the Expo. Hopefully someone who is going to the expo could tell us the future of Battlefront III from the LucasArts booth.

    Man, Lucasarts are keeping Battlefront III a secret. I mean, they won’t even tell us that the game has been officially scrapped. If they aren’t telling us that, then it may be showing at the Expo.

    This article shows an interview with an ex-employee of Free Radical:

    Fingers crossed guys!!!

    I just dont know now. there are a lot of secret announcements tuesday but i think that will be it for e3. Lucasarts already has alot of games on the table right now. FU2 which i am realy exited about seeing tuesday, old republic which had an awsome trailer today,the monkey crap game, most likely lego star wars 3, the clone wars online game which dont get.do they really have room for another big hit game.
    The microsoft press convrence was awsome today and i expect sony’s will be even better but e3 will be so much better for me and a lot of people with a sequle to one of the best gaming series.

    Def not SW Battlefront III but it looks a decent game despite the crappy AI.

    There are new trailers for SW Force Unleashed 2 and Knights Of The Old Republic.

    Fingers cross for Battlefront III guys!!
