[unozero]

The man behind the most advanced video game swordplay available today says the time is now right — and the technology is now good enough — for a motion-controlled Star Wars lightsaber video game.

What is it?

Your father's PlayStation Move. This is the weapon of a motion gaming Sony fanboy. Not as clumsy or random as a Wii; an elegant controller for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, Movers were the guardians of peace and justice in motion gaming. Before the dark times... before Natal. Reply

Until force feedback is invented for wiimote type devices, it will never feel real enough for me (although I have never tried one of these games, only going off of imagination). When I swing and clash into another sword, and we're locked, I want (somehow, seems impossible though) my controller to be locked as well. What actually happens is my hand keeps moving through the air and it's kinda lame.

Yes, so people realize they aren't jedi, and break their wrists trying to deflect blaster fire.

Well, aside from saber lock, there wouldn't ever be a moment where you would encounter resistance, right? Cutting through anything etc. So if they made the game where you just go around hacking apart stormtroopers, the technology would be sufficient.

I was talking about sword sim games in general, but even with lightsabers there's still resistance... When the two sabers collide your saber is stopped, hence why it doesn't reach your opponent as you intended. You would feel that stop.

Just use your imagination, bro.
