I saw this on a post from the guy who does the Ctrl-Alt-Del Comics, Now, while the stuff they pull of is flipping amazing, I'm sure the story is going to be full of Phailure. ;)

But I'll probably play it once through just to have fun with there improved? gravity gun? :P

I think this game is all about the new affects that they are doing, and the new style of game play, rather than the story. The next Star Wars game that comes out after this one will be the one you'll want to play to actually get the good story and graphics and engines and whatnot. I do plan to play this though, simply because the way they've put it together looks really cool.

[Silver]

Well the story line looks pretty standard from what I've seen. And you know the main char has to die or something like that since this game is placed between episodes 3 and 4

I will be picking this game up as well.  Because I am lazy... any word on a solid release date?

[Tenshin_Xo]

Fall 08, thats all I've heard, I'd guess August or September barring any major QC issues.

 

Yeah, this game is awesome eye candy and pure geekage fuel for anyone who wants to whoop up with the force.  I'm in, even if there is no motion sensing lightsaber controller.  *Mocks Lego Saga*

 

This story should require some major retconning though, at least as far as the movies are concerned.

[Emperor]

How about April 1st.  You made me go look it up, humph.

[Tenshin_Xo]

Yeah sorry about that, its one of the few times I'm happy to be wrong. :D

 

Maybe I confused it with Dead Space or something. meh.

Since I'm going through this Star Wars phase at the moment, it looks extremely exciting. All the chat about the behind the scenes stuff was very interesting. And by the time the game comes out, I'll probably have the time to fulfil my gaming needs!

IGN says August and Gamespot says April.

[Emperor]

Hax is always looking for ways to make me look wrong.

[Haxorsist]

Well, IGN isn't that realiable. It said Assassin's Creed would be released November 16th in Europe, but it was released November 15th.

 

*snickers at IGN*

I never trust Gamestop unless it is a firm date is confirmed.  I already have the game reserved and paid for.

Yea, I think thats why he said gamespot. :P

 

Anyways, Yea, Gamestop is about as reliable as a.... Well, think an old person and remembering stuff...

Best case in point? Gamestop was showing the FFXIII release date, as December 22nd, 2007, and only recently changed it to 12/1/08.

There is no way in hell, I'm pre-ordering any game from game-stop, until I know for a fact its going to be released, at that exact date. From both game press releases, and such. I was going to pre-order Assassins Creed, but I just went instore and bought it. Not that it was a hard game to find..

I could have sworn I posted a bit more but here goes.

 

Lucasarts and theforceunleashed.net both have summer '08 listed.  (somewhat notorious for not updating their pages)

 

Gamestop has 4/1/08

 

Wiki has 4/1/08 but is unsourced.

I would like to note this great article is in the VANITY FAIR... this game is going to be awesome!

[Tenshin_Xo]

Holy Crap, vanity fair taking notice of a GAME?!?!  YES!!! 

 

I just hope it has reply value, or a stormtrooper torture chamber. ;)
