Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

[ProjectPat2280]

The preview at Yahoo! mentioned this: "To that end, two different lightsaber styles thankfully keep the button-mashing to a minimum."

IGN mentioned this: "The melee combat system takes into account the speed of your button presses. Tapping the attack button quickly will perform a series of fast slices, while slowing down your presses will result in longer and more powerful swipes."

and GameTap mentioned this (the same basically): "Of course, you can also use a variety of lightsaber combinations to attack enemies. Light combinations are performed by lightly tapping the attack buttons while stronger combinations (with more elaborate flourishes) are performed by holding down buttons for a greater period of time."

Yea, nothing revolutionary. As long as its solid, and the saber to saber combat works, ill be happy.

That's actually pretty cool about the lightsaber combat. I was worried that we'd have to keep switching between stances or whatever like in the Jedi Knight games.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

Sounds really promising.

 

[Zenien]

Some of that looks good.

 

[Storm22]

I'm still really hopeful that the release of this game might coincide with a Saga DVD Boxset release(with new extras, CG TPM Yoda and new TPM transfer eg.). It would be perfect timing imo with this game bridging the gap between both trilogies.

hum, is this stuff about a Saga box set and CG TMP Yoda official?

Nothing official, yet. You can see a scene from TPM with a CG Yoda in one of the making of documentaries, on the RotS DVD. Can't remember which one, though.

Any new newS??

 

[Spider-Vader]

Game Informer has a preview in their latest issue. Though most of the good news has already been said in this thread.

 

[Spidey17]

Does anyone else get the feeling this game won't really present a challenge? I guess they'll just throw waves of guys at you to make it tough. IH: UD was challenging when they started sending the HulkBuster units, especially the big ones.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

the real challenge will be presented by other force weilders.

 

[Spidey17]

I guess, but between boss fights, will it just be mass havoc? I'm not asking for DMC difficulty, just to feel badass, and yet they're still trowing enough at me to break a sweat. I bet they'll find a good balance.

 

[Dark_Lord]

If you thought it looked easy in the gameplay videos we got, it's been confirmed that they were showing the game in God mode, so they could better demonstrate the physics engines.

 

[Spidey17]

How much do you think they amplified his powers then?

 

[uchiha_itachi]

they probably didnt make them any more powerful than what were gonna get. they difference will lie in how the enemies attack us. they are gonna be far more aggresive than what we've seen

 

[Storm22]

Yeah I was wondering about the gameplay videos we saw - EVERY laser shot was missing the apprentice so it's good to know that that was God mode.

 

[Grievous]

the real challenge will be presented by other force weilders.

an all out force fight would be a fun key part of the game.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

indeed, thats one of the parts im most looking forward to.

 

[†~AntiChrist~†]

That would be cool.........I cant wait to use repulse and crush..

 

[Spidey17]

I can't wait to pwn a Rancor. And also fight the female Jedi with the Asian style twin lightsabers. She looks like she'll be a blast. Same goes for the old man with the green saber.

Yea, same, IF they can get good saber to saber combat. If that fails then those fights will be either lame or realllly frustrating.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

well, if they can get it right in that episode III game then it should be even better in this one.

Hah, yea i was kinda thinking the same thing. I actually enjoyed the combat in that game.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

yeah, that was like that only good thing lol
