Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Coming soon on the UE4 Engine, preorder to guarantee access to the Force Stutter ability available exclusively on PC before it gets removed after the launch window.
I am not a Star Wars fan but I enjoyed the Force Unleashed and the sequel. Shadows of the Empire was another Star Wars game I also enjoyed.
I had Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I used to finish that game basically weekly. LOVED that game.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed took the Star Wars setting from a Space Opera to a Shonen anime, and did lasting damage to the franchise as a whole.
Then came Jedi: Fallen Order to revive it.
Jedi Survivor is truly amazing to experience, nothing better out there when it comes to Star Wars games.
That's a bit of a stretch. I loved the game, it was an amazing action filled pack and you could do so much weird shit (admittedly the sequel wasn't as great). However, under no point did I ever have any trouble separating it from Star Wars canon. The game has exagerated force powers because it's fun, everyone knows it's not lore-accurate. It's the same as the final boss of The Matrix game. The game almost ends as the movie, but then we get a message from the Wachowski sisters, explaingin how a the martyr ending works great for a movie... but a game should feel more epic, so instead you get to face a final mega Smith formed from all his clones. My point being, people can separate the epic exagerations of a game from the more grounded rules of canon/lore.
Edit: Just to add, that I aknowledge The Rise of Skywalker was a shitshow, but there were millions of other reasons for that, TFU is hardly to blame there...
Starkiller - the original Mary Sue (after Luke Skywalker bent a molten blaster bolt around a corner, and through a tiny hole in The Death Star, while flying an X-wing in space. And all despite having next to no training in how to use The Force.)
It did help ruin the franchise, but it was already ruined by silly novels and badly-thought-out comic book adaptations. The EU did enough damage to the universe that the trajectory was bound to hit “JEDI SUPERHERO WHO CAN WRESTLE STAR DESTROYERS OUT OF THE SKY” territory.
It’s part of why The Force Unleashed and The Last Jedi had such a negative backlash. The Force Unleashed copied and pasted the structure of A New Hope, which was enough for some people to buy, but I heard countless musings from people, whining that the characters were not as jumpy or powerful as Starkiller - with Starkiller being the one character mentioned for reference. The Last Jedi, for some people, is their favourite Star Wars film, for others, it wasn’t. What I didn’t like about TLJ’s backlash is how much people were moaning about it being different to the rest of the franchise, when it is about as derivative as The Force Awakens was.
"after Luke Skywalker bent a molten blaster bolt around a corner, and through a tiny hole in The Death Star, while flying an X-wing in space. And all despite having next to no training in how to use The Force."
Not to mention having next to no experience in piloting a fighter
Discover the reasons why Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is such a fantastic game. From its gripping storyline to its smooth gameplay and impressive graphics, this game has it all.
Lol... the ps3 will outsell the 360 for one month this year. It already did that in January so, is he saying that the 360 is going to outsell the ps3 for the rest of 2008? What planet do these guys live on? These predictions are retarded. When was the last time the ps3 had a good shooter... hmm let me think.
Sorry, but only xbox fanboys believe that the 360 will even be close to the ps3 this year in sales.
i honestly cnt wait for mgs to drop. Its funny how they say mgs4 is only for the fanboys but every single 360 owner wants it. that old line is jst to pathetic. MGS4 will sell ps3's if you arnt buying your ps3 to play mgs4 then you are missing out plain and simple. The metal gear onlines strength would also play a significant role in the console. Hopefully that plays great as well. But there is no game as big story wise (at least this yr). Jst because its exclusive to ps3 dnt dwn play its importance. killzone 2 may get avg reviews but dnt dwnplay its importance. as long as its reviews arent crap the hype behind it is enough to push 2 million. Its quite clear than there is still that misconception that ps3 is in trouble and 360 is wiping the floor with them when in reality... 360 is selling less and they are all out of their big guns.
sony has too may "yish" titles hahaha. as compared to who nintendo or msoft. sony's lineup eats 360 line up 3 times over.
i also love how he says 360 dosent need a huge lineup this yr at least admitting the lineup is crap. what a 360 fanboy. Only hope 360 has at this point is gta4 and how the console sales for that game are split. Msoft will go with the cheaper and exclusive content sony has to show gamers if you pay extra you get a blu ray player plus these other exclusive games.
I just stopped watching when Marcus Beer said not a chance is MGS4 is GOTY material. Then he said "sony needs a Halo or a Gears of War, that's what Sony needs and MGS4 is not it."
These guys are major xbox fans.. All the games they said were good for xbox is all stuff thats on ps3 besides halo wars(yippie Not).. Halo Gears of war.. for one Halo 3 was crap way overrated shooter.. I mean if you like playing games at walking speed then sweet.. Gears was cool but not fantastic.. PS3 needs shooters hmm guess RFOM was just garbage then.. Killzone 2 Resistance 2 Lil big plantet Socom Twisted Metal black 2 MGS4 Home all excluvisves and all games that will beat Halo 3 and Gears.. I dont understand review people that back a system with only a 5 year life span.. XBOX STILL DEVS GAMES ON STANDARD DVD.. HAHA I MEAN COME ON.. THERE IS NO HD FUTURE THERE...AND CHEAPER ITS 50 BUCKS LESS AND YOU DONT GET HD MOVIES OR WIFI YOU HAVE TO BUY BATTERIES FOR THE CONTORLLERS AND TO PLAY ONLINE.. Ps3 80g(before they stopped making it) 499$ HDMI standard BLu ray standard.. Online free.. Controllers rechargable .. Xbox elite 450 Online 50 HDDVD (pointless now) 129 wifi 100 for a grand total of 730 bucks plus the chance of a RROD and the cost of batteries.. Hmm Theres a real review.. Go ahead click agree
