Star Wars buffs beware! You'll need a XBOX 360 soon

Last Thursday, this geek braved the treacherous weather and rushed back to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur in an excruciating drive that took me almost 6 hours because of the terrible weather, accidents, and traffic jams!

I approved this story only because I think the Star Wars game is going to be epic, but this is pretty sad day for this guy. Basically, after being wined and dined by Microsoft, he jumped on the bandwagon. Every game on that list except for Ninja Gaiden 2 is also available on every other console, including Star Wars, so I'm not sure why you need a 360 to play Star Wars. But, I guess that's why this is just a blog.

ruibing5876d ago

Yeah, its a very misleading title. I thought it was going to be about some upcoming Star Wars 360 exclusive.

Ghoul5876d ago

especially since lucas arts focus its dev on the ps3 and not the 360

so expect starwars adn indi to be superior on the ps3

the only need for a 360 is gow2 and fable2

INehalemEXI5876d ago

Lol the force unleashed is coming out on almost every system hehe.

You know all those MGS4 previews from last week?

Those were invite-only junket to Japan to see the game. How is this any different?

Silellak5876d ago

I'm surprised it took 11 posts for someone to make a RRoD comment.

The Open Zone is over there, friend. Your console war crap isn't welcome here.

shine13965876d ago

mgs4 is ps3 exclusive...food for console fans...plus star wars isn't in the same league as mgs4 etc..tbh you're arguing a mute point...nobody above are talking about what you;re talking about...they're talking about title being misleading etc...

Mainman5876d ago

@ n4user1

The reporters were invited to Japan to play MGS4, and to give feedback on how to improve the game. Also it gave journalists to write preview's about the game.

Panthers5876d ago

This whole story belongs in the open zone

Fallen_Angel5876d ago

Wow starting to think this is a ps3 fanboy only site. However the title is very misleading but its obvious this person doesnt know much about gaming or he'd know Star wars is coming to the ps3 also.

What I fond interesting is that this is a non gamer and seems to think games like GTA , GH3 and star wars are only on the 360. could that be thinking of the causal non gamer now ?

sonarus5876d ago

i find it funny when someone calls out fanboys but when their comments seem to have the slightest touch of fanboyism.

Anyways title is misleading, seems ps3 fanboys have become more vocal but the 360 guys are still here too. No one thinks guitar hero is just for the 360, this guy was just treated to a good time by microsoft so he just felt like a$$ kissing a bit so maybe he can get more later.

wow4u5876d ago

@1.10

You're right. This site is over-run. You only need to pay attention to what gets approved. Blogs (wordpress, blorge and such) that say the most ridiculous things against Xbox 360 (or unrelated anti-MS news) gets approved.

Look at this:

From blorg "Microsoft abuses Xbox 360 victims more than new customers"
http://n4g.com/industrynews...

From blu-ray.com about HD-DVD "All That Could have Been":
http://n4g.com/industrynews...

From blorg "Microsoft abuses Xbox 360 victims more than new customers":
http://n4g.com/industrynews...

Those are what is on the page today. Its ridiculous.

If you goto those pages, you'll find the usual gang of PS3 owners screaming there too. N4G is a failed site, I only come here because I like to argue, its worthless as a Gamer's site.

Martini5876d ago

The article is right, everyone knows that the multiplatform games are better on the 360, so yeah if you want to play it without watching a slide show then you need a 360. ☺

Ghoul5876d ago

funny i get the disagrees

what i said wasnt fanboyism its the truth
lucas arts develops on the ps3 and ports down the the xbox360

that way we seen many multiplats beeing superior on the ps3 lately

Mr Playboy5876d ago

the only thing is dead is your brain harry

on topic

everybody need one, thanx god I already have one

JasonPC360PS3Wii5876d ago

Then what is the PS3? because it's behind.

Dead, are the brain cells in your head from sniffing the paint you used to paint you PS3 white because you realy wanted a 360.

mistertwoturbo5876d ago

Too bad he's going to miss Metal Gear Solid 4. Then again, a star wars fan won't be interested in that anyway.

After Jedi: Survivor's Triumph, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Deserves A Revival

Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Tacoboto315d ago

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.

Rikimaru-00315d ago

this would be so awesome, i still play this game up till today.

Knightofelemia315d ago

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.

RpgSama315d ago

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 ruined the Star Wars Franchise

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.

Daeloki350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

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...

Kneetos350d ago

I'm a casual force unleashed, enjoyer
Thought both games were pretty good

senorfartcushion350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

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
