M-Rated, gritty, bleeding-edge tech StarWars game in-development, StarWars: 1313.
How sad that, in contrast, Disney is making a cartoon version of Tron. Seriously, you couldn’t manage Clone Wars quality? My second big disappointment with Tron: Uprising is that they used the Daft Punk soundtrack from Legacy rather than the Tron 2.0 music or composer :(
Just to complete the set; last year’s E3 cinematic for Old Republic.
There’s also the splendiferously long Walkthrough Trailer (Note: 10 months old) …
Lucas Arts has announced “Clone Wars Adventures”. The in-game footage looks vaguely familiar. Is this SWGs redemption?
As excitement grows about Bioware’s impending “Star Wars: The Old Republic“, pundits are once again beginning to talk about it’s chances vs Warcraft as the dethroner.
Lots of games have said they’ll dethrone WoW … I think I’ve correctly called on all of them :) I think pundits are making these speculations based on trending in past media, like television, single player games and (not-MMO) multi-player games.
Sweet, sweet, StarWars goodness, from @swtor
Announcing Alderaan, the next playable planet in STAR WARS: The Old Republic! http://tinyurl.com/yk9wx6o
Did Episodes 1-3 visit Alderaan? Or is this carte blanche for SWTOR?
Sorry, but one of the last encounters is hands down the worst piece of gameplay ever. I suppose they were going for “You must dominate”. But I’d like to be able to see my character, especially since targetting is based on the direction you are facing.
It seems like there may be two possible endings. I was working on one last night, then I fired it up again today and found it hadn’t saved that progress and put me back at the sequence of fights. There is one fight with an enemy standing in the middle of a little force-shieldy thing. After you get past the first round, he jumps to the back of the scene and forces you to do the same. Then … the camera stays at the far side of the room, and you have to finish the fight with your characters only about 1/20th of the screen height. There are no lights at the back of the room, just the very bright glow of the force-field-floor between you, throwing the back of the room into deeper shadow.
Finally defeating this guy, I returned to the “you choose” step of the finale. Annoyingly, it put my character just off-screen. Assuming I was facing down the center of the screen I pushed forward and fell to the choice I didn’t want to make. Nice.
Ok – so I’m fighting the other guy again, who has magically regrown the limbs I chopped off in the previous sequence. This can’t be a good sign…
What the hell is happening?
Force Unleashed starts out with the Star Wars roll and gets your inner (evil) Skywalker by the short and curlies. Commence pan down. Ooo, look, Star Destroyers and they look sexy. Ish. Launch small craft, sweet looking shuttle and pan down to … 8 bit planet?
Right there, as the image of a planet lifted right out of the golden era of 800×600 behind those beautifully rendered Star Destroyers, is your taste of things to come.
Brace yourselves, you know how dismal it is when I review new games… Well, I downloaded The Force Unleashed and Alone in the Dark demos for the XBox 360 and gave them a whorl. I enjoyed both demos but I’m still going to be tough on both games…
