.KICK Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 LucasArts has confirmed that a playable demo for its upcoming Star Wars game will be unleashed on August 21 for both PS3 and 360.We've been told that the demo gives players "a taste of one of the early levels in the game: the TIE Fighter Construction Facility, under siege by a Jedi General named Rahm Kota. "The Secret Apprentice has been sent by Darth Vader to hunt down and destroy the General, but is also told that, in order to remain a secret, he is to leave no witnesses." Also included in the demo is a tutorial intended to teach players how to use their Force Grip power (snigger). So everything that was pretty much expected then.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 16, 2008 Looking forward to it, not a big fan of SW games so this will probably make or break the game for me.

HawkMan Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 10ft barge pole >>>>> any SW game There has been several good Star Wars games. The Xwing-Tie fighter games. SWG Pre NGE (I think the CU's where good for thegae though, even if I would have kept armors with different protectiosn for different weapon types) SWG Space combat expansion Empire ay war was an awesome RTS, and the first game to cobine orbital with ground combat Star Wars Episode 1 Race, pure awesomeness Not a huge KOTOR fan, but for the kind of gme they are, they're definaly AAA Not a Huge fan of the Lego games either, but they're still pretty awesome. The old side scrolling NES/SNES SW games where also pretty decent concidering the time and format they came out it. Rebel assault wa a pretty cool game when it came out, even if it was a shooter on rails type of game, it was entertaining and had some cool FMV's and such. Maybe you thought they said Star Trek. you can count good star Trek Games on one hand with 4 fingers lost in an accident :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/658348-force-unleashed-demo-on-august-21/#findComment-589660504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The Force Unleashed project seems like a make or break thing for lucasfilm. I sincerely hope its good, as mentioned above there ARE many excellent and underrated Star Wars games, it'd be a shame to see the license unused.

Piepke Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I was so hoping that they'd release this for PC as well but unfortunately... And I don't see them releasing it later either.

shadowmatt Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 ^^ u never know, u might strike lucky and get it back in 4 days For some reason it has to go to Germany by UPS rather than getting repaired in the UK as they were previously. Which is good for Microsoft's environmental footprint. Hopefully German efficiency should factor in but I bet Germany is now handling all Europe repairs.

DigitalE Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I definitely enjoyed the demo, but it was quite short and seemed very centered on simply throwing objects at enemies.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted August 21, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 21, 2008 Of course the day I decide to actually go into the office and work. How big is it in file size? (I really wish I could start downloads through a web browser on my 360 somehow) Also any more impressions?

.KICK Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 All PSN releases are 6PM EasternStandardTime US Wow, that's pretty late. Just played some, not finding it very smooth or fluid. Every time you swing the light saber there is a slight pause. Also if you hit an enemy then it pauses slightly again! Why does it look like there is water all over the floor also! :s I don't think this game is for me but I am sure many people will like it.

Has the game gone gold yet? if not the demo will likely be beta code that may be fixed.
