Watch the exclusive trailer debut and learn more about LucasArts' hugely anticipated new Star Wars game. Yahoo games has also an preview and screens.
Celebrate 16 years of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed! Dive into the thrilling story of Starkiller, wield epic Force powers, and explore this iconic LucasArts game.
force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.
A true classic. Recently I was experimenting with injecting ray tracing into this game using nvidia’s SSRTGI. The results were pretty slick!
Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Coming soon on the UE4 Engine, preorder to guarantee access to the Force Stutter ability available exclusively on PC before it gets removed after the launch window.
I am not a Star Wars fan but I enjoyed the Force Unleashed and the sequel. Shadows of the Empire was another Star Wars game I also enjoyed.
I had Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I used to finish that game basically weekly. LOVED that game.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed took the Star Wars setting from a Space Opera to a Shonen anime, and did lasting damage to the franchise as a whole.
Then came Jedi: Fallen Order to revive it.
Jedi Survivor is truly amazing to experience, nothing better out there when it comes to Star Wars games.
That's a bit of a stretch. I loved the game, it was an amazing action filled pack and you could do so much weird shit (admittedly the sequel wasn't as great). However, under no point did I ever have any trouble separating it from Star Wars canon. The game has exagerated force powers because it's fun, everyone knows it's not lore-accurate. It's the same as the final boss of The Matrix game. The game almost ends as the movie, but then we get a message from the Wachowski sisters, explaingin how a the martyr ending works great for a movie... but a game should feel more epic, so instead you get to face a final mega Smith formed from all his clones. My point being, people can separate the epic exagerations of a game from the more grounded rules of canon/lore.
Edit: Just to add, that I aknowledge The Rise of Skywalker was a shitshow, but there were millions of other reasons for that, TFU is hardly to blame there...
Starkiller - the original Mary Sue (after Luke Skywalker bent a molten blaster bolt around a corner, and through a tiny hole in The Death Star, while flying an X-wing in space. And all despite having next to no training in how to use The Force.)
It did help ruin the franchise, but it was already ruined by silly novels and badly-thought-out comic book adaptations. The EU did enough damage to the universe that the trajectory was bound to hit “JEDI SUPERHERO WHO CAN WRESTLE STAR DESTROYERS OUT OF THE SKY” territory.
It’s part of why The Force Unleashed and The Last Jedi had such a negative backlash. The Force Unleashed copied and pasted the structure of A New Hope, which was enough for some people to buy, but I heard countless musings from people, whining that the characters were not as jumpy or powerful as Starkiller - with Starkiller being the one character mentioned for reference. The Last Jedi, for some people, is their favourite Star Wars film, for others, it wasn’t. What I didn’t like about TLJ’s backlash is how much people were moaning about it being different to the rest of the franchise, when it is about as derivative as The Force Awakens was.
"after Luke Skywalker bent a molten blaster bolt around a corner, and through a tiny hole in The Death Star, while flying an X-wing in space. And all despite having next to no training in how to use The Force."
Not to mention having next to no experience in piloting a fighter
Wow...wow...wow...wow...wow... .
wow....gotta go watch it again.
I said...I said....GOD D*MN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yahoo games is getting some big exclusives lately. First GTA4 and then MoH:Airbourne and now exclusive trailer of Force Unleashed.
Back to trailer, I cant believe my eyes, this could be uber cool. Cant wait to see more gameplay of what seems to be poised to dethrone KOTOR as the best Star Wars game.
To FU's advantage, its story happens between 2 trilogies and George Lucas the man has co-worked on it and finally, it uses the revolutionary Euphoria engine.
Cant wait. (I still love KOTOR 1&2 and hopefully for KOTOR3 they use this engine for ultimate action RPG experience.)
i hope it does have some rpg elements and not just combat (remindes me of Starwars 3 realy disepoinment) but it sure does have potienal to become the ultimate starwars game :-))
Hope they make it good.
But taking place between the two series sort of says your fate is sealed (to a certain extent). Just as we knew what was going to basically happen at the end of the "new" trilogy we surely know this will not end well (ultimatly) for our force weilding character.
