Wii gets exclusive Force Unleashed levels

Speaking in the latest issue of NGamer magazine, Ed Tucker of developer house Krome Studios has confirmed that there will be five levels in the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed that aren't included on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Also in the preview, Tucker talks about how the studio overcame the technical limitations of the Wii.

5 extra levels very nice to get some Lucus Arts lovin ^^

[BrianC6234]

I guess they figure give the inferior version some extra levels. Too bad it will be a bad version of the game though. If you want the real game buy the PS3 or 360 version. If you want a dumbed down game get the Wii version.

[PS360WII]

ahaha you so clever! Did you think of that all by yourself?

[antoinetm]

I'm sure that there are more polygons on the face of the main character on the ps360 than in all those 5 maps combined.

If you'll excuse me, i ll be unleashing the force in 720p

[RecSpec]

Well, I guess this is what the Wii gets instead of Vader/Yoda on SC4

[diatom]

I guess they need to do something to excuse the wii version looking like crap. I hope its cheaper too.

[Azures]

Sure, give em a couple more levels. Least they could do for having that version look like crap and not be anywhere near able to handle the game's complex physics.

[Honeal2g]

I wonder if the PSP version will Look better? can we get a comparison ? would be very interesting.

[Iron Man 2]

I think it will,just look at God Of War Chains Of Olympus for the PSP,it looks better than any Wii game out there,seriously;)

[cooke15]

Cry some more fellas. Yes it will look better than the PSP version. Yes it will have more substance than the other versions and it will also be more immersive than the button mashing versions too.

[Azures]

Care to wager on that?

Whats more immersive? Having to swing the wiimote a couple centimeters or watching a stormtooper try to grasp for dear life to the ground as you force choke him into the air?

[cooke15]

There is more to the Wii version than waving it a few centimeters. Also the Wii version is using the same physics engine as the 360/ps3 version.

[Azures]

From Gamespot's preview:

"Then there's Force grip, which lets you grab someone or something and dangle it in the air. This is a great demonstration for the game's Euphoria technology, which is available only in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game."

owned.

@edit: isn't n4g great? people disagreeing with facts. 360 and ps3 are the premiere versions of the game.

@edit2: are you new to this site guy below me? making fun of consoles is all that happens here. the wii is fine for its own games, hell i cant wait to play smash bros and mario kart wii, but for these multiplat titles you need to go to the ps3 or 360.

@edit3: yea but its missing a very key element of the game's intended physics. if they decide to include DLC and/or online multi you'll be left out of that too. The Wii version is secondary along with the psp version. Sorry to tell ya but it's just the way it is. The psp version has some extra content too, if you wanna call it that. They take out important stuff that neither of those systems can handle for that content.

[PS360WII]

Yea disagreeing with facts and people trying to feel better about themselves by making fun of a game console. Sweet stuff.

edit: no I'm not new here I just find it funny how people can only assume the better version is on PS3/360. I have Tomb Raider Anniversary and Star War Complete Saga both on Wii rather than PS3 or 360 and I feel I have the better and complete version. I might even consider this one on Wii do to the motion controls and now for the 5 extra levels that the PS3 or 360 will not see.

[PS360WII]

To each his own I suppose. I play online but I don't need it. I'm more about the single story than what online could bring me. I do think the Wii version will have light saber battles but you know you'd actually have to invite someone over and have personal time. Seeing how long and where a ball can bounce is not really that big of deal either. If the enemy dies he dies I don't care how he falls down after the fact cuz I'll be to busy finding my next target.

Sure DLC is always a nice feature if you don't have to pay for it which is far and few between. Along with Lucus Arts is know for qualitiy so they aren't about to release a half finished game just so they can fix it later with DLC.

[M_Prime]

why do u all say it looks like crap? i mean its not the 360 or the ps3 but then again it doesn't cost me a month's rent for the wii. and how many PS3 skus are there now? and same goes for 360. but 1 WII sku and its selling better then all the other skus. We get 5 extra levels, i'm happy for that. If you think it looks like crap and what not and you don't even own the wii then why comment? you can't even play the extra levels so why do you care? why must you (people) make negative comments on the wii. I don't bash your PS3 or your 360, hell you bash those too, i just enjoy my wii like the gamer i am and if i want wicked graphics i boot up my computer.

so i'm happy we get 5 extra levels, it gives it a lil more value in my books, but if your not gonna play it or don't own a wii please keep your negative comments to yourself considering there is no gameplay footage yet.

[Azures]

PS3 and 360 also have this thing called online support and download able content for games.

And a month's rent? A 360 arcade costs $30 more than a Wii.

[Killjoy3000]

its gonna suck for wii anyways like all of the other multis so who really cares. besides im not really in to star wars anyways.

[PS360WII]

Wow you guys are such big men. Able to talk down on a video game console. Your parents must be proud.... oh wait maybe not.

[Blank1017]

To me it sounds like they couldnt do exactly the same thing technology-wise with the wii. So instead of copping out and making it a crappy port, they changed the game's story, added a few levels, and made a version that works great on the wii.

the PS3/360 gets the better graphics and physics

the wii gets its motion and an expanded divergent story.

you can now go back to screaming about which one is going to be better. Me, I'll wait for the reviews, buy the one I think I will enjoy more, and if they are different enough - rent the other version.

[ktchong]

Wii-saber!

Total pwnage. If I can pick just one version of this game to play, I pick the Wii version... for the motion-control lightsabre.

[Leathersoup]

...because the Wii can only display 32x32 textures or something like that they'll have a ton of space left over on the disc.

It's kind of sad that Lucas Arts is pandering to the Wii crowd though. I'm guessing more copies will be sold on the Xbox360. Maybe even the PS3.

Now if they were making StarWars Yoga... they'd probably sell a lot on the Wii.

[PS360WII]

3rd party software has been selling better on the Wii then PS3. No story gets submited saying that but it's true. 360 always sells more games no one can deny that. As far as Lucas Arts pandering to the Wii crowd they know where the potential money is.

[Night4ll]

I'm definately getting this game for Wii... the visuals on the PS3 are mind blowing sometimes, but I'd rather swing a lightsaber than watch people realistically dying....

[Blank1017]

Star wars Yoga? don't be rediculous. That title doesnt even sound impressive....

now Yoda Yoga, I would buy.

And I dont care who you are and whether you hate the wii or not, you know you would buy Yoda Yoga.

[kewlkat007]

of this game will look "Okay" but playing with the Wii mote should be badass....I wanna see how it will be implemented.

[Azures]

Am I the weird one for not caring for motion controls? Part of my excitement for Smash Bros and Mario Kart is that they don't require the use of that control. The $20 investment in a classic controller for the Wii will be well worth it.

[PS360WII]

Classic controler kicks butt. I use it for the Fire Emblem game do to the SNES feel and well more buttons :) as well as VC games.

I like my motion control but as Fire Emblem shows and in some way Smash that you can have amazing games on the Wii without motion control.

[mr_potato]

Wow i never tought this would be hitting us.

Im happy for wii owners but im sad seing i only own a ps3.

[jr killa]

why do people think psp has better graphics than wii??? omg learn you're facts people!! the wii's graphics are probebly the same as the (original) xbox!

[Intrepid]

I'm really looking forward to the Wii version. Even though the graphics and phyics won't be as good as the PS3 and 360 versions, I heard that they're great anyway. Plus, we get 5 extra levels. It seems like many fanboys are jealous of that fact.
