Be a "Jedi Hunter" and cheat 25 Feb, 2005, 12:45 / 4 comments

Enough of those angsty 'LucasArts sucks' updates, let's look at what the company is really about - Star Wars controllers. Eh? Turns out LucasArts has collaborated with Intec on eight new Xbox and PS2 controllers specially designed for their Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith title.
As an extension of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith game, players will encounter instances during the game's lightsaber battles where the sabers will become "locked" with their opponents blade. When this happens, those with an Intec controller can hit the dedicated lightsaber button and quickly gain the upper hand! Quite an edge against your buddy with the regular controller... Players can even program combination moves into one button.
I don't know, sounds like cheating to me. Anyway, read more about it over at TheForce.Net.

    Quite ingenious! I think I will get five, especially if they are colorful and overpriced.

    If I had a PS2 and a copy of Monkey Island 4, I'd love a dedicated controller with a look, use, and walk button. And one that gave me an unfair advantage in Monkey Kombat.

    ....wait, WHAT? You press a button and... wait, WHAT?

    What an amazing use of time and money! Well done, LucasArts.

    It's especially encouraging to see that some people still care about the things that really matter in life. All my life, I've been hoping and praying for a lightsaber button, and now finally, it sees the light. It's almost too overwhelming to talk about... now I'm emotional...
