E3 2008: Star Wars: Force Unleashed Will Not Use Wii MotionPlus

[Da Ill One]

Talking with representatives from LucasArts today yielded all kinds of interesting information about the company's upcoming games. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is attracting lots of attention, but this week's developments have thrown a new question into the mix. Unleashed features lots of lightsaber combat. Meanwhile, Nintendo has unveiled Wii MotionPlus, that nifty new gizmo that allows the Wii remote to provide 1:1 response during gameplay. So, will Star Wars: The Force Unleashed make use of the new peripheral for exciting lightsaber duels? Sadly, no. Christopher Cook of LucasArts confirmed today to us that Unleashed will not feature MotionPlus compatibility

To me that is interesting. I thought it might have been used due to lightsaber combat and other things in the game.
I wonder if it'll make a real difference to the movements and what not.
To me it might not be that big of a thing...but I never know.

i think it it makes the motion much more acute and sencitive.

but i dont know, i sorta knew when they showed wiimotion plus used with wii fencing that ever sword game folwoing would use it.

i also wouldnt be suprised to see it used with COD5, and the conduit.
