Meet the characters from The Force Unleashed, and don't worry Jar Jar is nowhere to be found.
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.
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.
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.
This is possibly my "must-have" game of 2008 (right up there with Halo Wars). I love the themes in this story- the unknown, the dark, the fall, the love, the rise, and the redemption.
Lucas is great at story telling, and this will fill those gaps and give us more insight on how sinister and hateful, yet sorrowful Darth Vader really is, and how he conveys that to his apprentice.
Yeah, this is definitely on my radar, I am really suspicious of the footage they are showing though, it really seems too good and exactly like their old pre-vis target. However, there is no such disclaimer in this new stuff...so, I can hope!
I am not that interested in this game anymore as I am tired of this era in Star Wars universe. I just wish KOTOR 3 is coming in a year or two.
I still don't get it. If you're supposed to be Darth Vader's apprentice, why are you fighting Stormtroopers? Unless they are going to let you play as rebel Jedi, I really don't see how it would make sense, just like the video of a Dark Jedi crashing a Star Destroyer....why?
Can't wait for '08. You fight stormtroopers & destroy Tie fighters because you are a spy for Vader with a hidden agenda. The only thing that's probably going to hold this title back is it's being developed for to many formats. Too bad it won't be optimized for the 360 & the PS3.
