[wnchstr96]

YES, YES, YES, & YES!!!!! Can't wait.

[FantasyBarb130]

Oh I 'm glad about this. I will get to see this and see if it it is something I want. I keep going back and forth about it. It's Star wars..right? So I have to have it. I just know there are so many of these I haven't gotten and have not missed (Revenge of the Sith, Republic cammando )

[SkinToxicated76]

looks like Orph's links has been updated, it now says the demo WONT be out this week

Same link, different news

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

yeah i was just about to post about that

but,as the release date is the 19th september here in the UK and we now know that a demo is happening,hopefully it wont be like alone in the dark and release the demo months after the full game has been out ,...we may see this demo within the 5 weeks

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

okay the demo is really coming out this Thursday(21st August)

Quote

LucasArts has confirmed that a playable demo for its upcoming Star Wars game will be unleashed on August 21 for both PS3 and 360.

We've been told that the demo gives players "a taste of one of the early levels in the game: the TIE Fighter Construction Facility, under siege by a Jedi General named Rahm Kota.

"The Secret Apprentice has been sent by Darth Vader to hunt down and destroy the General, but is also told that, in order to remain a secret, he is to leave no witnesses."

Also included in the demo is a tutorial intended to teach players how to use their Force Grip power (snigger). So everything that was pretty much expected then.

in case you CAN be arsed clicking on the link,then here it is

the demo is now up on XBOX LIVE


apparently the demo is short but fun(from what i have heard)

its just under a gig

i am gonna download it in a bit,and play FF9 on the PS3 while i wait :p

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

okay the demo downloaded in about 45 minutes,which isnt bad for me

the actual demo to play took about 20 minutes at the most,includeing the tutorial


i enjoyed it,Force pushing the doors open (B button)was great

i am concerned however that it may become a little repeditive,seems all i was doing was force pushing this and that(only using my actual sabre and lightning every now and then)..hopefully there will be a few more puzzles,and not just some that requires you to slide a lock to the left using the force

i did notice a little slow down in places,but thankfully this is only a demo

and i have no idea why it shows up all the blue boxes everywhere showing you what you can use with the force,looks silly....just let those boxes turn up when we press RT,or not at all,and let us find out ourselves what we can use the force on


not sure about any of you,but i could reflect laser blasts coming at me.,...that should be in there

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

LOL,Penny Arcade...those damn wookiees





someone has just posted his theory of what will happen in this story of the Force unleashed,and what he said sounds quite good....as he heard there was a

look if you wishClick for read!

 mega twist

[Close]

i have spoiled it below incase he is right,i suggest you read this AFTER(if you want) finishing the game,to see if he was right

from Vinda-Loo,GamingTrendClick for read!

 I think that Vader sets up the Rebellion. I think this because of where the game fits in on the timeline and from the fact that the main character can't really survive the game. I'm curious what happens to him as he is not in any other story. The blurb I read said that Vader wants to use the main character to overthrow the Emperor, so I think Vader sets up the Rebellion to help in overthrowing the Emperor. Time will tell if I'm right, I guess when I finish the game. I will not read anything else about the game.

The demo was rather short but there is so much you can do interms of force powers. It seems to have a lot of combo moves....I am not too crazy about that... although I can see why it would be necessary with all the different force powers. I probably will play the demo a few time to get the hang of the controls.

[Pogue on Nokia]

yes it was short i had fun with it my fave thing was launching a tie fighter at a group of storm troopers also when the fighters were unleashed i bent a few bars into their path so theyd crash into them also dragging a storm trooper all over the map was fun this isnt going to be on wii is it it seems itd be easier to use force powers with the remote

[Warlord Poon]

if you havnt checked it out yet i strongly suggest you do its a lot of fun, through it in about 5 minutes but will probably play it another 20 times

throwin people around and chopping them up with the lightsaber is so much fun, wish this had multiplayer

[SkinToxicated76]

I did enjoy that demo, but i hope it doesnt become just a "button basher" (it did have a bit of DMC4 feel to it) as Barb said, I am not a big fan of learning all these combos either (i did like when i force gripped someone then threw my light saber at him!). The camera movement can get a bit annoying, i wish it would kinda "self correct" so you can use the right stick to look around but when you come off the stick the camera falls back behind you. i also hope the conrols are a bit more tuneable, i would prefer having the left trigger as your force grip the you have you right to do your attacking move. it felt my right hand was getting a bit tangled up round the contoller while my left hand was just there to move my guy around (which then become obsolete as you cant move while force gripping something)

i like the bit at the endClick for read!

 slicing the AT-ST in half was fucking kwel!!

[Close]

[FantasyBarb130]

Yeah I found that having to hold down the Trigger and then have to move it using the two thumbsticks was awkward.

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

someone said that if you press Up on the D-pad it goes to an action camera,cant seem to notice at all any difference..and acknowledge that the camera even changed or tell you that its changed

so,the PS3 demo is 1355mb in size,compared to the 360s 905mb

so i downloaded it from PSN to see what the difference was..apart from the thumbnail movie when on the XMB nothing(did you get your 80gig PS3 skin?)

perhaps a little smoother while playing but nothing that is mega different,i did however find out how to throw your lightsabre,like skin said press RT and press X(or R2 and press Square if on the PS3)...but i still ant to be able to reflect laser blasts(without having to run away or stand still)..the PS3 controller felt a lot unnatural as well,for me anyway

there is no online for the full game,so play through the story(once or twice on different difficulties) and then thats it...so me thinking this could be a week or two keeper

[SkinToxicated76]

yeah, dunno how much mileage the game will have, obviously we couldnt expect an online element, but i dunno how sustainable just going round mashing up stormtroopers etc will be, as I (and others have said) I aint a big fan of learning combos, i am praying you can change the controls.

I cant see this game having alot of replay value. I will play it on the normal setting but i cant see myself doing the harder level. the more i think about it, the more i think this game might not have the "wow" factor. i am hoping i will be wrong, but i cant see how this game will have alot of depth to it

Didnt get my PS3 yet Orph, pay day is the 29th,

[wnchstr96]

Yeah Skin, I'm getting the same vibe from the demo. I will play it, and I will enjoy it, but I just don't see this game lasting long. Don't get me wrong, replay value is ok. This game seems to remind me of Knights of the Old Republic. A game which I truly enjoy playing. I guess I just got my hopes up for some Battlefront style game play. Oh well, back to Bad Company.

[Metallicorphan is an Ass]

can't really say that i think Combos will feature that much for me,i will learn a few(in other words the ones that are available in the demo)and stick with them

the following is prolly the most complicated i will be getting at killing someone

force hold stormtrooper in the air -RT...then throw lightsabre at them to impale them....X button..and then force lightning just to make sure they are dead...Y button...and then throw them away

the following is prolly the way i will kill people when other people are watching me and i wanna show the game off

see Tie Fighter suspended on the rail...Force lift and throw in direction of enemies


and this is what i did today while i was playing and experimenting

get to the place where the Tie Fighters are flying past,instead of bending that metal into its path...why not pick up one of those pesky Rebels who is firing at you and suspend him into the air,and into the Tie Fighters path

thats how i kill people!!!!


force push...lightsabre...or throwing my lightsabre into a crowd of enemies and wait for it to come back to me


thats about it for the ways that i will kill enemies...now and then i will throw a guy of a balcony,or throw a Tie Fighter at them...but thats it,and thats how i will be progressing through the story(apart from those shite button press sequences like you do against the AT-ST)



EDIT:oh and skin its just that i thought you said that you get paid on the same day the 80gig came out(which was today..yesterday even)thats why i thought you had it already

someone told me they are selling 60gig BC ps3s in GAME pre-owned...just incase,ya wanted to know


EDIT:EDIT:oh and Pogue,yes the game is coming to the Wii as well...just not a demo

Man, it doesnt bode well for Force Unleashed if Wnchstr (the biggest SW fan here) aint doing cartwheels about this game.
I saw you playing the Demo then shortly after you on Mass Effect, i though "hmm, hes not playing thru it again and again and again? that dont look good"
I am feeling more and more that this game just aint gonna live up to hype, its gonna be remembered as a good game but not a great game. The more i think about this, the more i am tempted to wait and see how everyone else gets on with b4 i part with my hard earn (well all know what a tough customer i am when it come to game )

Yeah Orph, I thought the PS3 was coming on the 29th (which is my payday) but evidently they have brought it forward a week, probably due to the bank holiday, make good business sense, a longer weekend for people to play/buy them. I have seen the 60Gb at game.com 350notes, but I have no requirement for what it does over the 40/80Gb version

and now back to our main broadcast...

Yeah I'm having difficulties with throwing shit where I want it to go. I mostly ran around just mashing the X button, as opposed to throwing people around. I also dislike the idea of combo moves, and that stupid AT-ST was really pissing me off. Graphicly / story wise, I'm siked, however I've wanted this game to come out so bad, that it turns out, it was not the game I was looking for. hahaha. Don't get me wrong, I will buy it when it comes out, and play through it many times, it will become 1 more game in my SW game collection, for which I do believe I have them all in one format or another, be it PC, xbox, etc. Playing the short as hell demo has me craving some KOTOR, so maybe, just maybe, I will fire up the old xbox, blow the dust of Knights of the Old Rebulic case and waste a Saturday in some Star Wars addicted fix.
