That was just a rumour, which was eventually denied by Lucas Arts. The demo will not even be released this week, but definitely sometime this month.

god slicing that At-St in half, cauterizing it looks fucking amazing. I CAN'T WAIT.

too bad the internet spoiled the whole ending for me. =[

2008-08-16 22:34:42 In reply to XAL (2008-08-16 22:28:15)

XAL, they made a custom cutscene so they don't spoil the REAL cutscene in the full game.
So the cutscene you saw is exclusive to this demo.

His powers look a bit over the top... I mean the game looks awesome, but did he just drag down a star destroyer with force power let alone cutting an At-St in half?

2008-08-17 00:04:07 In reply to Tinks (2008-08-16 23:58:20)

Yeah, and people are pretending that it fits with canon. But then again, it's Star Wars, and last I checked.. Lucas was a total hack.. so I guess anything is fair game at this point.

2008-08-17 00:08:51 In reply to Tinks (2008-08-16 23:58:20)

I'm not talking about the cutscene from the video, i'm talking about the actual ending got spoiled for me on Gamefaqs and wookiepedia. The novel already got released in Europe and some people have the graphic novel (which i'm ordering, should come the day the demo hits). So I know the canon ending to the game already =[The force powers outside of the films are more like the unleashed powers - Lucas couldn't hurl people 30 feet and do super high jumps too well back when he did the original trilogy and didn't want to depart from the depiction of the force from the original films for the prequels because of criticism.

If you read the comics/novels/gr.novels there's some crazy force shit. Fucking black holes and huge storms created by the force, force bombs, sith/jedi fighting with multiple lightsabers wielded telekinetically, etc. This game depicts the force the way it was meant to be.

With this game the secret apprentice is the most powerful force user in canon history - at least in terms of destructive power.

2008-08-17 02:11:14

It looks like it is not as awesome as everyone is pointing. October's OXM issue has given it a 7,5/10, wich is a low score for what Lucas was targetting IMO. They say that the boss battles and QTE are not as good as they were supposed to be.
I know that OXM sucks, but is interesting to see this first score for what is supposed to be a must have (8,5 or higher) is so low, IMO.

2008-08-17 03:03:21

Looking forward to download the demo. Game looks fun.

Well exactly, at least in this case in a good way. Games are intended to be fun and play well. If these things make it a better game, screw cannon. It is like book-to-movie translations. Now many books are better but a) they are too long to translate to a movie and b) are written in ways that wouldn't translate well to visual media. The same goes for games: it needs to be a game first and formost. Now I don't know about Star Destroyers, but being able to hack apart an AT-ST sounds fun.

I read the review. Really really stupid reviewer. He docks a lot of points for no MP for christsakes.

The story was noted to be a strongpoint, and make no mistakes, Lucas only offered advice on elements of the story - he didn't write the script which is a good thing.

So basically in real world terms, this is around an 8.5 game.

2008-08-17 05:51:49

Unless you want MP, and then it becomes a no-go. Bring on SW Battlefronts III. Can we get Euphoria there, too?

Although I'm looking forward to play this game, I think the over the top force powers is something that doesn't really fit the universe... I mean the movies that Jedi's/Sith are powerful but the "bringing down the star destroyer" is a bit too much... I mean we saw Yoda lift up a x-wing, the emperor play around in the senate room. But other than that it's pretty low key force usage... And that's how IMO it should be...

It's gonna be interesting to see how this super being (the apprentice) is gonna be brought down by simple sith/jedi (Darth Vader, etc.)

You have to blame yourself for the ending because I really want this game and I don't know the ending at all because I forced myself not to check any storywise info.

If you guys think Starkiller is a super badass Sith, he is not the only one.
Exar Kun, is another character one who was the most darkest and powerful Jedi there was until he wanted more power and went to the dark side and became a Sith and learned the ancient force powers.

These force powers can be over the top depending on how good of a character backround there is and what they are striving for, and there aren't many which is a good thing because then everyone would be like some sort of a Marvel comic book hero.

Besides they want these powers because of the gameplay too, just to make it more fun and "awe" when they play it.

And I have no problem with "this doesn't fit in star wars or that"...George Lucas created the franchise and he can do whatever he wants with it, its up to the fans if they care for it or not...or they just want to focus on the good Star Wars media.

Starting tomorrow (monday) I will go into a Star Wars movie marathon(again hahaha) and will watch all the movies on DVD (except SW 1 and 2, didn't like them except first one with Darth Maul fight).

Should get me much more excited for the demo on Thursday.

I wonder if LucasArts have done some sort of a Sixaxis motion feature in the game...gonna wait and see.

Ever wished you could wield a black colored lightsaber? Now you can!
With the lightsaber customization, you can go with pretty much with all the traditional colors, but now black is there, which is extremely rare like Mace Windu's purple lightsaber which he is the only one to have it.

Preview were they mention it.

I personally want orange color with that cool outfit you can unlock which shows in the Raxus Prime level.

A few screenshots from the demo http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/823/823668/imgs_1.h...

And a few videos

It's all from the demo version so don't expect much difference between GT and IGN, except different sections.
