Myst3r1o

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Been there; Done that in Jedi Knight series, probably done better since it had real multiplayer mode. Grip opponent, swing toward edge of the map, follow up with a force push and they fly really really far. Only thing really new this game is the awesome engine. I hope they make good use of them in story and gameplay and not just for a few gimmick scenes. *crosses fingers*

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> I hope I hope I hope this game is good! This game looks so cool but star wars games made by lucasarts haven't always been..the best.

I hope it is different this time, and I hope the PS3 version is just as good as the 360 version! Otherwise I am so excited for this game!

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Gray665:

And that time there was blood. Which was sort of stupid, since lightsabers and blood never really went together -- most were clean cuts. But there was that blood mist spray type thing when Maul gets slashed in half in TPM, so maybe some alien specie don't cauterize so easy.

mikeko10

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @ All complaining about lack of dismemberments

The difference between the dismemberments in the PG - PG-13 movies is that you can count the number of them in the movies on one hand. If the movies had 25, it would've caused them rating troubles. A video game like this would potentially have HUNDREDS of dismemberments and beheadings and that kind of number would bring about an M rating.

Don't worry, folks. It'll all be fine IF the game is good. Big if ....

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Like how you start off playing MGS2 as Snake, then switch to Raiden! Remember how fun it was playing as Raiden after starting off as Snake?

GOOR

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> One of the previous trailers for TFU posted on kotaku showed darth vader gameplay already.

Also, wookieepedia lists the secret apprentice as one of several.

"Force choke a wookie" sounds like a euphemism to me.

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> What's with all the Wookiee love? Sure Chewie is a great character, but those guys really started to piss me off in KOTOR (or was it 2?). I took out a boatload of those guys on my killing spree through Kashyyyk.

unmarkedone

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @TheEngineer: I agree. It doesn't even have to be bloody since the lightsabre would cauterize the wound but there should be limbs coming off. I mean, Obi Wan lopped Ponda Baba's arm off in a new hope and that was 1977.

Gray665

Bastard11

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> If Vader's apprentice works for the empire, then why we see him taking down Tie Fighters and even a star destroyer. I can hear the emperor complaining to Vader:

"Hey Darth, your apprentice is costing me a fortune in Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers, could he practice on something else for a change? Do you know what this is going to do to my credit!!!??"

TheShape

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> I thought we knew this a long time ago. I remember reading an article about this specifically. A guy said he played the first level and choked some Wookies as Darth Vader. Did anyone else see this too?

Likwit

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> no dismemberment? it looks awesome with that huge exception...

I mean, I guess it's not critical because losing limbs, like say, a hand, isn't intrinsically tied to the story in any way...

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> I don't know how people didn't know this?I've known about it for a month or two at least.Lucasarts invited some journalistic people to the ranch and showed off some playable levels and the prolouge was Vader fighting.It's still very cool,but I don't know about the whole dark side/light side and how it's going to work.

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @t0yrobo: If they had somehow brought George Lucas from the past in on this, I'd be impressed by that. Unfortunately, Lucas just proved that he'd gone completely batshit crazy by creating the prequel trilogy.

Regardless, I'm considering this game a must buy.

Cathaoir

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @t0yrobo: I know what you mean, but without big Georges intervention we'd be getting that Super Hero Wookiee game that Lucasarts had orginally planned to release.

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @DeRangedKaos: Yeah, I find the thought of choking them kind of disturbing. Still, the fans seem to approve.

eastx

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @MisterSleep: Oh man! That'd be awesome!

You know what would be even more awesome, though -- and this is me being dead serious -- is if, in that duel at the end of the first stage, Vader vs. Secret Apprentice, suddenly and sharply the action snaps, and WHOA!! Now you're controlling the Kid, and not Vader!

Hit Vader a couple times, and then he does a final Force Push / Choke, and cue cut scene with Vader asking you to join the Dark Side.

Man!

Someone should pay me to design videogames!

108

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Been looking forward to this game for a very long time...and they just keep coming with awesome content. Vader as a character running a muck in Kasheek? WOW I'm so excited!

GullyZiss

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Detre: Well, in the universe of Star Wars, the Emperor had a secret left hand that one never knew about (Mara Jade) until all the books came forward. While not the same, it's not all that retarded of a concept for the video game.

As it is, I've really been looking forward to this game. It's been a while since Star Wars has given me something to get excited about like I am for this.

But....I don't know if I have the heart to take out a Wookiee. Chewie created a great big fuzzy spot in my heart for the big guys.

DeRangedKaos

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> "So, The Force Unleashed ... what does that name mean?"

Worst interview question ever ... I mean, come on. It's obvious this is just an ad for the game, so why try and fake the whole journalist interviewing the game designer thing. I don't mean to rant about it ... but, geez ...

The game, however, looks like a blast! I can't wait to try it out.

2 Y's wasn't enough for them huh?

TheEngineer

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Ha, this is kind of funny. It's like the opposite of MGS2.

TheEngineer

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> If he's on Kashyyyk then this probably takes place during the novel "The Rise of Darth Vader" since that's the only time he is mentioned to be on Kashyyyk. I wonder how they'll pull off this off without contradicting the novel.

Okari

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @108: Secret apprentice. Keyword secret... Its far fetched though. Even with Lucas's approval i think its a bit retarded that he would have a apprentice that was never ever mentioned until now.

Detre

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @ShaggE: I thought I was the only person who remembered Game.coms, never actually played one that didn't have that light up game that came with it though.

ggodo

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @The-Blur:
I'd rather he be too lazy than try hard and Jar-Jar. I mean fail. I use those two words interchangeably sometimes.

TheEngineer

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Everything I've seen so far has made me want this more! I'm definitely going to get this on 360/PS3, but the 'historical' recreations on the PSP are so tempting... I might have to get that as well.

@TheEngineer, Polywhirl, Archaotic: I'd also love to see dismemberment amidst any lightsaber action. Hopefully there are some of those elements against droids - more than just crumbling upon impact.

@trigger2: Seeing as how it's currently slated for a September release date, there's bound to be performance improvement by then.

Arttemis

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @J-Fro:
Arg...why did you have to remind me! I'd gone so long ignoring their existence, they always made me feel like George Lucas was too lazy to create a compelling character so he just picked up a teddy bear and put it on camera for laughs and ended up sticking with it.

Now I really hope this game has an Ewok genocide level.

The-Blur

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Also, magic strangle?

TheEngineer

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Archaotic:
That's fine, but it shouldn't feel like an impact when the saber hits. It looks so different in the movies. The wielder doesn't feel any resistance, and it sounds like a real laser sword cutting through flesh. There's certainly no 1/10th second pause every time it makes contact with anything!

TheEngineer

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Figroti: I actually find that interesting. I'd suggest never seeing it. Might break some records or something

The game appears to be pretty solid although a little over-the-top. I like the aspect of controlling Vader at the first level although it looked weird seeing him do those quick action moves, uncanny maybe? Probably because we never really saw him in action in the movies besides gently tap sabers with Obi-wan and Luke. I'd imagine him just walking around with his hands on his belt pwning everyone with his mind.

RYAMATSU

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> this makes up for SW: ep 3 movie because i wanted to see more of Vader than ending movie like that. so its worth playing.

Maaxxx

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> POWER.......UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

This game keeps looking more and more awesome. Too bad that when it comes out I'll be too entrenched in Spore to care.

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @dowingba:
Not to mention the Jedi Knight series had dismemberments aplenty with that cheat code. I'm sure it'll be either a code or an unlockable mode. You have to think they wouldn't be stupid enough to leave it out...would they?

Archaotic

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> What kind of sick bastard would want to force choke a Wookiee?!

Ewoks on the other hand...

J-Fro

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Bluecell: gaaah, I always hate games like that. It's infuriating. It's like climaxing first and then having to go through the foreplay. Or... uh.... so I've been told.

@108: I bet it'll turn out that you pull a big 'ol switcheroo and take Vader's place, effectively confirming that everything in IV-VI was a lie. That'll give Lucas an excuse to go and re-re-master the series, adding even more effects, 20.3 surround sound, and a few more racially stereotypical characters.

MisterSleep

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Must brush up on my Darth Vader voice then. Only if I was taller I would buy a Vader costume to wear it while play for the ultimate experience.

tnx3

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Archaotic: Funny because every actual Star Wars movie is loaded to the brim with dismemberments and I believe they all range between "PG" and "PG13". Another case of video games getting the shaft from ridiculous idiots inside and outside the joke that is the ESRB.

dowingba

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @TheEngineer: They want to keep their "T" rating, is what I've heard. There should be a cheat code that unlocks dismemberment like in one of the Jedi Knight games on PC.

billygoat117

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> I just can't get excited about murdering Wookies. I just can't embrace my inner dark side like that.

p.s. I hope they get rid of some of those framerate hiccups.

trigger2

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @108:

also i hope that on friday they reveal that by beating the game i'll be able to control a wookiee in the first level, and be strangled by darth vader

really, as is, the game is only fully appealing to sadists :-/

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: Yes, pick up Star Wars the complete saga. Very fun game. And you don't need a little kid to play the game with. If you like Star Wars and/or like Legos, you will enjoy the game.

It is amazing how well they tell the story with no actual dialogue. The context of all the scenes does an excellent job of conveying the story.

TheAngryHeretic

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> soooooo

i don't remember "darth vader's secret apprentice" from episodes iv-vi

does that mean he dies at the end of the game?

how ever will mainstream american videogaming kids react to this revelation???

or maybe by the end your dude will SEE THE LIGHT SIDE of the force and escape.

108

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Despite never seeing any of the Star Wars films, (Yes I know, I'm probably the only person in the world that has never seen any of the series before) I'm really excited for this game.

Maybe, just maybe I'll watch Star Wars someday.... Or I could just remain the single and only person in the entire world of my kind.

I'll think on that one...

Figroti

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @KreacherOfBloodandRank: Spoiling the first level? Game demos and reviews tend to do that anyway...

eastx

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> Do want!
I'm still torn though, get the Wii version for gimmicky controls or the PC version for spiffy graphics....

The-Blur

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @Polywhirl:
I had heard the reason for the lack of dismemberment was specifically because LucasArts is shooting for a T rating, and dismemberments, even bloodless ones, would bump it up into M territory. Sad.

The game looks pretty awesome though, I'll have to at least rent it, if not buy it.

Archaotic

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> There better be an unlockable Darth Vader mode so you can play through the entire game as him. That wouldn't be too hard to put in.

whiteunibrow

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> That kinda gives the game away though.

I dont really care about playing as Vader as much as I want to scrunch up ATST's like an aluminum can.

]]> <![CDATA[Play As Vader, Magic-Strangle Wookies]]> @[KU]Shindokie: Wishes for a Star: If you can find a little kid to play with, pick up both of them for $40. It's worth it. Otherwise, you'll feel like an idiot for playing it alone.

Polywhirl

Seems like it'll be Assassin's Creed style where you get all your powers in the first level taken away from you and slowly earned back throughout the game.

Fanboys rejoice at the ability to play the first level over and over.
