Force Unleashed demo on August 21


Recommended Posts

haha yeah I thought of that but then if you think of it through proportions for example if at his highest level of power he can bring down a star destroyer then surely on a scale at his lowest level is the ability to pwn the Ti Fighter?

or am I becoming a nit picking nerd? :p

Nah we all want that :D

My buddy got me a key for 1 month of Gold, so I promptly downloaded the demo. This game ROCKED, though the stutters when I'd slash and slam my saber into the ground did get annoying. Slamming the Tie Fighter that kept trying to shoot me = pwnage.

Just played this demo again and absolutely loved it!

So much fun seeing how many people you can collect grabbing onto each other when you force grip them. And lifting tie fighters and all that, sooo cool. Need a good pre-order deal for the 360 now!

I enjoyed the demo enough to play through multiple times. I really don't understand why EGM was so hard on the game in their review (C, C, B- according to this). I haven't had a chance to read the review for myself, but those scores seem a bit low.

My only source of worry (based on the demo) is the rather low level of difficulty. The regular enemies were basically there only to serve the purpose of being slaughtered (as beautiful as the force powers are in this game, I would much rather earn my kills instead of having them handed to me), and even the AT-ST went down pretty quick once you figured it out. The higher difficult level didn't really rectify my fear either, so perhaps that's part of what EGM was so upset about.

In any event, nice demo, and I'll probably pick up the game when I get my 360 back from Microsoft.

Well what I heard from some of the early reviews and other sources is while it is a very good game, that it gets repetitious after awhile, and as much as I enjoyed the demo myself, I actually do have that fear which is why it is just a rental for myself.

The demo was ok and was too short to know if it was worth buying. One thing I didn't like was the screen tearing.

Huh thats weird. People mentioning bugs here and there with Stuttering and screen tearing. I have never experienced any such slowdowns or screen tearing as of yet. Must be lucky i guess..

Never heard of that site, can anyone vouch for them?

I've never used them but Shopto name is bounced off the walls allll the time on Hot UK Deals and the like. I would imagine it's a genuine site, sorry I can't be any more help.

I can vouch for ShopTo, it is a very reliable site (Y):)

If you are really skimpy on costs, you can get it for ?37.73 at The Hut and Asda for both Xbox 360 and PS3

Asda Link

I'm not skimpy but I would like the best deal:pp I will probably just stump for Amazon!

Pre-Ordered with Amazon! Can't Wait now!

They suck for delivery big time!

Game are offering a special pre-order bonus with the game. You get a code for special bonus abilities in the game. This is for both S3 and Xbox 360. Game is ?39.99 but if you want the pre-order bonus then might be worth it. You also get double reward points also(Y))

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
