After seeing the video, I can't help but think how much marketing-bullcrap-talk was stuffed into it.

90% of the in-game footage was just repeat after repeat after REPEAT of the same person Force Pushing everything and anything.

They script the NPC's to hold on to something whenever Force'd and they call it fantastic uber AI

They throw an enemy towards glass and it breaks and they call it 3 game engines talking to one another.

The game should be renamed: Star Wars: Force Pusher





For me, the genius of Lucasarts died when they turned Full Throttle 2 into a beat 'em up action game.

Now they've gone to butcher the Star Wars universe. Way to go.

Force grip controls needs some serious tweaking and refining.

Other than that, this feels like Devil May Cry + Darth Vader





One thing that interest me was the end video that showed something of being able to opt to go pure force without lightsaber.



And for the Star Wars fanboys:
Bringing down a Star Destroyer on your own?

Come on. Who does this Galen Marek think he is?


edit: and no James Earl Jones? come oooooooon...

That being said,

had they shown *any* of those moves we saw in Unleashed in Eps 2 or 3, it wouldn't have sucked they way it did.

Having said that,

The Star Wars saga would've ended in A New Hope:

[At Yavin 4, Darth Vader stares out from the Death Star at the oncoming X-Wing fighters]

"Meh," he says.

Vader begins to clap his hands in the motions of swatting mosquitoes.

[Rebel starfighters blow up one by one]

"Galen Marek? More like Gay-len Marek," mocks Vader as he walks away to the Emperor's chambers for his daily "Force Bonding" with the Dark Lord.

The End.

reading all this, it just pisses me to be reminded how pussified George turned the Jedis for Eps 123.

Cartoon Network's Clone Wars and the comics is by far the best portrayal.

George Lucas is a senile old man.

Lucasarts isn't the same great developer it once was.





and the only two reasons I'm going to play this game is because I'm a Star Wars geek and Jedi Knight II and onwards was totally fubar'd

It totally makes sense.

The Emperor is getting old, forgetful and senile (just like George), so Anakin, being the lazy slacker he is, outsources his assignments to some fanboy.

Vader: I hereby dub thee, "Starkiller". We're totally cool now. Like BFF. Now here's a list of Jedi Masters you gotta go slay. While you do that, I'm gonna go beat up half-naked ladies and get this fugly looking sword called Soul Edge. Oh by the way, don't add me on Facebook just yet. You finish off that hitlist then we'll start talking about it.

Spoken like a true Star Wars geekboy
