We already knew about this but yeah, gonna be awesome.

Gonna be awesome, but yeah we already knew about this.

Most people here know about this, gonna be awesome.

Gonna know about this, but yeah, we already awesome.

A demo went up on marketplace today, haven't had a chance to go through it yet though.

Pretty good tbh. It's abit weird... can't describe it. It feels like its the game to a movie. but there's no movie, if that makes sense...

You're about right on, buddy. This is the Lucas approved story of what happens between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. So yeah, the game is sort of a movie.

Man, that demo is fucking awesome.

Sony needs to put the PS3 demo on PSN :mad:

Should already be there. I'm downloading it atm.

Is it? I checked a few hours ago and it wasn't up yet.

Yeah. Should be the second or third thing in line.

Fucking Awesome. All I can say.

We already know about this, but yeah, awesome.

AWESOME-O

TBH I wasn't all that impressed.

That AT or w/e they are called, at the end of the demo is a beast on the hardest demo difficulty. Physics system is amazing. I love holding RT and then pressing x. Throws lightsaber at them while they are in the air :D.

Yeah think i'm gonna get this TBH.

While the game looks extremely fun (watched DS play it but didn't actually give it a try myself), it admittedly looks like a tech demo for the capabilities of the Euphoria engine. Not to say the game isn't capable on its own.. just saying it seems sort of what FarCry was to Crytek.

Could get repetitive if that's all there is to the game.

I can see me getting it and getting rid of it after completing it. No multiplayer, after story is done it's over IMO

Pretty sure i'll have hours of fun just holding stormtroopers in the air and trying to get tie fighters to run into them.

What? No multiplayer? Bugger.

Most games are a demo for the engine :D

Not really, they aren't. Most games are usually a product of an engine. The company behind the Euphoria engine has yet to really have a product showcase what the engine is possible. GTA IV touched on it, and did some cool things. But Force Unleashed seems to really showcase the features, and was focused on greatly before the game was even at this point. I still remember watching the tech videos of the company behind Force Unleashed showing off destructible parts, and how the AI grabbed onto each other or objects because of the Euphoria engine.

Euphoria is not middleware. It's a product made by a company that works in conjunction with the companies that want to use it in order to get the best out of it.

FarCry was a game created for the purpose of showcasing their made from scratch engine. Hell, it came for free with a number of PC hardware products. Again, not to say it wasn't a good game on its own.. but it was certainly a demo for the purpose of selling their engine. I wouldn't doubt if they've made more money off licensing the engine than they have the actual game.

So basically, Force Unleashed 'feels' like a tech demo, because of all the focus they put on the engine prior to now. Regardless, it still looks like a fun as hell game.

The DMM concept seems to be what they showcased the most. Euphoria is sweet, but it hardly seems the focus of the demos, let alone the game.

It's not bad but it's not something I would pay full price for. Yeah, it's pretty cool to see how some things get destroyed, but I was getting bored before the end even happened.

I do love the Euphoria engine.

Loved the demo, didn't last long enough though. Will be getting this when it comes out.

Thats my the only thing keeping me from getting it. Im really pumped but I have a fear that this is one of those games that can be completed in two - three sittings.

After that I dont really know if there is any replay value other than to just fuck around with throwing people.

Still had assassins creed tho... That turned out great. No sarcasm in that if it sounds like it... Really was a good game.

Glad I have Gamepass at Blockbuster. I can keep it as long as I want. :cool:

A few Holy Shit moments for me in the demo....

1. Throwing the bombs back at the rebel guards who throw them.

2. In the first big room area when the platform rises with a bunch of troopers on it I took one of the Tie Fighters from the ceiling and smashed it on them killing them all.

3. In the outside bridge area I was waiting for a tie fighter to come by. When I saw him off in the distance. I grabbed one of the bridge supports and force pushed it out nailing the tie fighter.

so it's half life 2 with the extra gravity gun effects always on, and instead of scenarios and stuff you have jedi's.

Seeing a stormtrooper flying through the air and right into the path of a TIE fighter makes me smile.

You can compare any game with half life 2... Runescape is half life 2 with worse graphics, no guns and no cars and pretty much a hell of alot shitty

Don't mind Clox...He's just being a twat.

No, you fucking tard.

Rock Band 2 will get no love tomorrow.

Force Unleashed isn't geting any love from reviewers. IGN gives it a 7.4 or something and EGM gave it a C+. Not looking good and I really had my hopes up for this one :/

Yeah save your money, you can beat this in a rental. It only takes about 7-8 hours to beat.

If you must get it, get it at Toys R Us as you will get a $20 giftcard with purchase.
