Next Gen Star Wars Game coming soon

This is basically for Seggie.... *g*

 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is coming to a console near you in November.

 

According to the game's official site, which launched today, the new game from LucasArts will be playable on Playstation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS and "Next Generation Consoles."

 

Plotwise, the game: "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."

 

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:

* The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.

* 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.

 

LucasArts is also promising some technological wizardry in the form of "Digital Molecular Matter (DMM)" a technique that allows for:

 

"completely interactive environments that react as they would in real life. From crumbling walls to shattering glass and even swaying organic plant life, in-game objects have material properties that behave realistically all in real time and without using a single frame of animation."

If you can use a lightsaber I'm there. I still need to install and play Jedi Academy actually. It's sitting on my PC desk...

 

This could be huge on the Wii if you can use the Wiimote to control a lightsaber!

not going to be released on the Wii. LucasArts is not going there for a bit. I know the makers of Elder Scrolls is avoiding the Wii as well.
