Bah. Now I really have to get a Wii. Let's see... keep waiting for it to show up at a store near me, or order it off the internet for ridicuously high prices....

That would make alot of sense.

Now that I think about it, the controls pretty much have to be like Zelda, becaude, in the trailer on The Force Unleashed website, the apprentice has a backhand saber. So, unless we hold the Wii remote backwards (highly unlikely), having the saber like in Wii Sports baseball would not work.

That being said, if the Wiimote moves in six degrees of freedom (which I think it does, but correct me if I'm wrong), what's to prevent the game from being set up to where the player can hold the saber however he feels like?

Yeah, but Look at how Red Steel turned out with their swords. They sucked. If they did that with this game, it would disappoint me. :?

This makes me want to get the Wii even more!

And it won't be hard convincing my parents to get it, my mom already half-wants it. :P

*sigh* i wish I could get a Wii, or any other console for that matter.
But my parents say that I spend too much time on the computer, and if they got me a console, they'd never see me again.
which may not be to far from the truth :mrgreen:

This disappoints me....

I might not even get the game if it's going to be like that. :?

Well, I mean that they will have lighsaber battles. But, I mean that they won't mess up like Red Steel. I think that if anything, they will learn from Red Steel's mistakes.

Heh, same here. Except they say that I will never study ever again, and they are probably right about it. :mrgreen:

Shouldnt this be in Game Discussion?

The three physics systems they are using look incredible. Lots of games have Havok engine but the Euphoria and DMV (I think) are incredible!
