While I made this thread mainly for the purpose of the new Star Wars game titled The Force Unleashed, you can also discuss other details such as movies, books, and whatever else you can think of.

Have fun...



The Force Unleashed comes out on all stations including Wii, X-Box 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, NDS, and several others, exept maybe GBA. Basically, you play as Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, taking place between Episodes III and IV, and hunt down the remaining Jedi. You are a Secret apprentice however, so you will have to fight even stormtroopers if the Emporer is to remain unaware of your existence. Take on Rancors, Felucians, Jedi, and starfighters as you play through your missions, and unleash the potential of the force. The game is simulation based, so everything brakes or shatters the way it would n real life, which is effected by how and were you hit it. Say, you hit a piece of glass in the corner with a metal ball. That corner shatters and cracks, hit it again in the middle, the entire thing is in fragments. All substances act the way they would in real life, even skeletons, ice, compound items of multiple surfaces, and jelly. Enemies will react occordingly with how you attack them, so it you force grip and throw them, they will try to grab onto something, even if it's another stormtrooper. If they grab onto a wooden plank sticking out about 50 feet above the ground, for example, and throw another stormtrooper his way, the new stormtrooper grabs onto his feet and the wooden beam begins to splinter and crack exactly where the first stormtrooper has his hand. As you progress through your game of monkeys in a barrel, the plank will continue to crack and eventually break. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

It does. DO you have Empire at War? That is a fun game, and this should be no different.

i have empire at war

Its awesome!

i like the expansion and killer penguins

Killer....penguins? First there's a movie about penguins traveling to and from the nest, then there's one about singin'/dancin' penguins, now there's a star wars game with killer penguins in it? What is it with you humans and penguins?

Anyway, no, I don't have Empire At War, though I heard it was good.

This new game comes out April 8.

Did you hear about Farce of the Penguins? A penguin themed Sex-Comedy?

Force Unleashed seems cool. Then again, I know one Unleashed thats awesome.

Yeah, Godzilla: Unleashed sounds good.

I can't wait to play this game, though! Just looking at the pictures, videos, it's awesome!

Here's a link:

Watch all the videos, but not the user ones, they have little relevancy. Their is one User videos you should deffinetly watch, though. It's the one called "More Star Wars Tech Demos!" It's an old video, so they didn't have the release date planned.

A fascinating new preview with new videos and pictures at IGN:

And it doesn't come out till August the 26th?! This is TORTURE!!!

Oh, the irony. 2 of the games imma lookin' forward to are both delayed, SSBB and SWFU.

Have you seen the "A Clone Apart" series on Youtube? It's like Halo's Red vs. Blue. It's non-canon, but it's funny. They have three episodes up now, and each one is divided into two parts.

REPORT!!!!

A new article at Gamespy.com (link below) states that every version of the game has something unique in it. Whil all the platforms follow the same story, none of them are ports. The article below talks about some of the unique features seen on the PSP version of the game, which not only covers all the material the X-box 360 version does, (Which means Felucia, Raxus Prime, Coruscant, TIE Fighter Factory all confirmed for PSP!!! YEAH!) but also features additional levels, such as the Jedi Temple, as well as a Historic Mode, which allows you to reenact at least five classic battles from the films as one or the other character, who are also suped up just like the Secret Apprentice.

All this comes at a price, though not a big deal when it sinks in, or if you plan on getting this and/or one of the other versions: No DMM or Euphoria, the techniques that made everything act so realistic. IGN also reports this about the PSP version: The graphics are silk-smooth and the animation is at an all-time high, and the damage still has convincing quality to it. Still very destructive.

Glad to see the PSP is getting the recognition and realization it deserves. Guess that's what happens when youv'e been working on it for two years.


My predictions list for historic mode:

Bespin Duel (confirmed)
Jabba's brigde (confirmed)
Geonosis (confirmed)
Mustafar Duel
Naboo Duel

Hopeful Additions:

Duel in the Death Star (Luke vs. Vader Round 2)
The Invisible Hand (Anakin kills Dooku)
Tatooiene (Massacre the Tusken Raiders)
Duel in the Senate (Yoda vs. Emporer in the debate room/FORCE PLAY-GROUND!!!)

Cudos to Lucas Arts for their hard work on an under-appreciated system!!!

New gameplay footage. Here we get to see the planet Raxus Prime. There's alot of scrap metal and debris floating around in a sort of magnetic field. The Jedi boss character here seems to be using the force to animate the surrounding junk, gathering it together to make soldiers and some hulking creature....

Raxus Prime looks like something straight outta Metroid.

Really? I never played those games. But did you see the links in the post before that? I can't wait to play Historic Mode!
