86 days...86 days...86 days

God damn it. Less than two weeks until the trailer. Just over a month until April 2nd. And 86 days.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
If they were going to make shit, cash-in controllers anyway, at least they made the damn things wireless.

In the big picture, that's a step in the right direction.

you mean if it came out for the gamecube? And do star wars games sell that poorly on the cube that a port isn't warranted?



Hence the chainsaw. I'll make those bastards port it.
 
What game did so badly as to cause Lucasarts to drop all support, again? How did Rebel Strike do?
 
Ok, I'm a huge Star Wars fan (Just look at my forum nick), but even I think these look like ass. Of course, I stopped giving Lucas too much of my cash a long time ago. Now he actually has to earn it! ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing the new trailer in the next few weeks too, but someone mentioned the date of April 2nd. What happens on that date?
 
Funny thing is I got a press release for this the other day... I would like to poke the person who writes these things in the eye. But they are funny if you try to read them seriously


1. The Jedi Hunter 2.4GHz Wireless Controller

The Jedi Hunter 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller is the ultimate weapon for players seeking to destroy all Jedi Knights. This leading-edge controller gives gamers the ability to program their favorite combination moves and a secret pre-programmed weapon: the lightsaber button, which gives players the added edge to win saber locks, an important gameplay feature in the lightsaber duels in the Episode III video game. Players using the Jedi Hunter 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller will be virtually unstoppable! Feature packed, this controller comes with a turbo function button, gamer-nomic designed analog sticks and digital directional pads, rubberized grips, dual vibration motors with on & off vibration switches, auto connect, a 3-position rumble switch, and auto-sensing technology that allows for up to 16 players to play without interference. Each Jedi Hunter 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller allows for game play at up to 30 feet away from the console and up to 60 hours of game time (using 2 AA Batteries). This controller also includes an auto shut-off feature, where if it’s not used for more than 5 minutes, it will go into “sleep mode” to save battery life. Versions for the PlayStation® 2 (G9875 – MSRP $29.99) and Xbox® (G9885– MSRP $29.99) are available.



2. The Jedi Hunter Controller

As Dark Lord of the Sith - Darth Vader, players require the best weaponry possible in order to master the game and the dark side of the Force. With a button allowing players to program their favorite combination moves, the Jedi Hunter Controller offers players the power to seek and destroy all enemies. Featuring in-game battle glow (it glows red), players are able to fully immerse themselves in Darth Vader’s red fury! Available in versions for the PlayStation® 2 (G9800 – MSRP $19.99) and Xbox™ (G9810 – MSRP $19.99), these Jedi Hunter Controllers are perfect for players looking for an added edge in their battles against players with ordinary, non-programmable controllers.



3. Sith vs. Jedi 2-Pack

Whether choosing to play for justice as a Jedi or rule the Sith as Darth Vader, a triumphant performance is now within their grasp! The Sith vs. Jedi 2-Pack also allows players to program their favorite combination moves into one button, surrounding themselves in the Jedi’s blue glow or Vader’s red glow as they play. With versions available for the PlayStation® 2 (G9805 – MSRP $29.99) and Xbox® (G9815 – MSRP $29.99), players can defend the light side of the Force as a Jedi Knight or fight for the dark side of the force as Darth Vader.
