Yes.
And in example, TP does that with the bow... it goes Wiimote, Wiimote + TV, TV

W3RD. In fact, upon hearing this, my wanting for this game tanked. The main thing drawing me to it was the idea of swinging a sword in duels. If this is actually the way they are going to have the game control for sword fights, count me out.

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.

the 2 buttons besides the Home button are labeled + and -, one would presume those are for the speaker....
and a lightsaber FPS or even Jedi Knight type game would rock, seriously ^^
real-like lightsaber duels *¬*

Simple, knock your lightsaber to the side. The game would simply try to have your in-game character's arms try to get the lightsaber to the position that you're holding it in. So even if you're just holding your lightsaber in front of you like a Lance, an enemy can simply knock your lightsaber to the side, where your in-game character will attempt to move the lightsaber back into the same position as long as an opposing lightsaber is not in the way. So if you're just swinging your controller randomly, you'll have only a light defense against someone who uses a timed and powerful blow.
I believe it could work.

It's being developed by the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger studio, which isn't quite as confidence-boosting as I would like.

The attitude seems to be less "how can we use motion control to make a great game" and more "how can we use the novel appeal of motion control to mask a lazy low-budget release". God I hope Nintendo's upcoming lineup crushes everything in sales and raises the bar. I want the Wii userbase to get used to higher quality and start expecting better and stop buying crap. The system sales are high enough that we can afford to have better taste without scaring away all the third parties.

I think LucasArts deserves to be commended for taking the risk to port this sure-to-be-difficult next-gen project to the Wii. Maybe after they get this "caught-with-their-pants-down" dinosaur of a project out of the way, they can develop that pure Wii lightsaber game we all want with the knowledge learned from this one!

It really isn't a port, since it has an exclusive mode for the Wii. For all we know this duel mode could be quite complete and be almost a game all to itself when it comes to replyability.

Thanks. I figured if I'm going to be demanding an Escape Velocity for the DS I might as well go all out for it. I know it will never happen, but I can dream. And the Starbridge, while the icon of the game, looks cool and is a great balance between cargo capacity and firepower without sacrificing the speed like you would if you captured an IDA Frigate (as if that's possible at that point in the game).
Post by: UERD on September 18, 2007, 01:29:18 PM
Also, one-to-one lightsabers will be impossible unless the Wii knows where the remote is in 3D space, and exactly how it is oriented. Also, they need to get the remote to figure out what the 'home' position is at all time to avoid drift and such (for example, if the player moves around while playing).

I thought the point of the game was to play with Force powers in the always popular Star Wars universe, but I suppose I have no choice but to concede to your superior use of caps lock. The good news is I already have Rocket: Robot on Wheels, so I don't need to buy this game after all.

I liked Isaac better. I think the blond hair suits your forum personality (don't try to read between the lines, there is no hidden meaning there.) But your current avatar also has blond hair. So what is it?!
Issac was my favorite as well so far, I shall have to ponder and think up an avatar that can top it . . .

Having a new game mode doesn't make it not a port. RE4 for PS2 had new content, but it was still a port.

The Wii version is being created by the same developer behind the PS2 and PSP versions, unlike the PS3 and 360 versions... so all signs point to yes.
Anyway, I'm in the same boat as Ian. I'm sick of developers half assing it on the Wii, and everything about this release seems half assed. I mean, Lucasarts isn't even doing the Wii version themselves, they are focused on the PS3 and 360 iterations while they passed on the Wii draft to the guys behind Spyro's New Beginning. Basically, I have no real faith in this Wii version from what we know so far, which isn't much but enough to give a general gist of how they are treating that version of the game.
