I haven't had time to read all the way through it, but this month's Game Informer has a cover story on the Force Unleashed with lots of info and pics. Looks like one of the characters is Shak Ti (sp?), so the deleted scene from EP3 is not canon.

Of course it's not on xbox 360.

Dissapointing.

Already with little information we've been given on the game I already want it. I don't like the thought of Vader having an apprentice, it kinda throws me off. He's pretty much still an apprentice of the darkside.

Whats with the blue and green sabers if your an apprentice?Actually thats just me assuming we've seen the concept of the main character.

...Completely unrelated topic they should make a shadows of the empire game for the newer consoles.

What are you talking about, the only platforms to miss out look like Zbox & PC.

How the hell is it going to be DS and PSP? It looks like a graphics and physics showboat.

Also, WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL TO AT LEAST GET THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A WII LIGHTSABER GAME?!!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Posted by Jay on February 14, 2007 at 11:46 AM CST:
The Star Wars saga continues this November in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.
Features

* During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
* Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
* Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
o The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.
o The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
* In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
* Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
* Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.
* The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
* The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
* LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Finally a website!

Good info in there, would of liked to see some screenshots but i guess that will be in may at CIV?

It says next gen consoles, thats great! but does that mean Wii??

I hope you turn to the light side during the game or start out good then bad. It would be more interesting then just a straight on path game.

That's interesting. That would be a great showing to show off maybe an exclusive trailer or gameplay video at C4, that definitely be awesome. I'm glad I'm going. wink

Still have yet to get that issue. I'm hoping it comes within the next week or so.

This looks amazing, with this new technology being LA exclusive for a year maybe they'll use it for KOTOR III when they decide to make it.


I really can't wait for this game, looks like it'll go head to head with Halo 3 for the Christmas rush too.

One of the art pics looks like the dungen in jabbas palace -



and then this in the - Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) by Pixelux Entertainment
What is DMM? --

His violent Force push hurtles a helpless stormtrooper through a stone column, blasting it apart. Moments later, the sudden lack of support causes the building to smash to the ground, piece by piece. Meanwhile, a virtual Jabba the Hutt presides over his court, as rolls of gelatinous fat bounce and jiggle thanks to a body composed of DMM.

MIGHT we be going iside jabbas palace to track down a jedi???

That's what I was thinking, too. We might see KOTOR III's choice of Force powers altered a bit, you know? Might end up being a bit more like this one instead of having 40 different powers to choose from or whatever. From the sound of this game thus far, I certainly wouldn't mind that. We'll have to wait and see, though.

Like I asked earlier, wasn't there supposed to be MORE information about this game on the main page yesterday or today, or did I read that wrong?

All we knew is that there would be an "announcement" - guess that was the webiste going up.

Weekly production diaries sound alright.

Like i said, they are most likely saving alot for C4, its only two and a bit months away

hi there are loads of concept art pictures on www.gamespot.com for force unleashed. the pictures look very good but i hope the games not another poor quality jedi knight game. to be honest i hope they bring out a novel to tie in with it as im getting really excited about the story but i dont want to play another lame star wars game.
dont get me wrong there are star wars games i like such as rogue squadron and the lego star wars games and not forgetting the super star wars snes games.
thoose games were fun to play and im praying force unleashed will be a great story and a great game.

personally i hope it's some kind of fusion between jedi knight and KOTOR. that would be best in my opinion. i think the "being vader's apprentice" deal is pretty cool, but that video of the jedi smashing up stormtroopers made me think it was somebody trying to survive the purge. that would be pretty rad if you got to pick the good or the bad sides. and personally i like to have a certain archtype for teh characters to begin with. i mean, it's nice in kotor how you got to pick your own dude and stuff, but it didn't really matter because they already had the whole history of the character made up for you from the very beginning. also, it would be nice if they could make it on the Wii with amped up lightsabre controls. that's all we really want now isn't it? aw hell, i'll just be happy as long as there's a jump button.

If the main character looked like Axle, I could die a happy man once I beat it...
