The idea to open this blog is to get as many information I can about Star wars-The force unleashed.
The idea for me to buy Wii from the first place was mainly star wars series, as Lucas always gives their best for Nintendo all this years and some nice and fun Nintendo games. Also the new controller type gives you the feel and movement in your hands and body to move your character, etc. And it’s a kind of unique feel and extra fun that Nintendo pointed there and they made it!
Playing this game with Wii controller I believe is going to be MUCH more fun and realistic than any other console or controller type. But the pure hardware in front its competitors it will be hard as it’s not a Wii exclusive.
I have xbox360 and Wii and I am thinking about pre-ordering the game. But I don’t know which platform.
Shall I choose the best graphics? (And faulty hardware)
Shall I choose the best controller and feel?
More question coming on my mind after this 2 basics.
1st Xbox is SO sensitive and faulty about.. And scares me to hell while you play to explode (overheat) or something, the force will explode the machine in front your eyes (lol). That’s terrorism that Microsoft created to us! (Gamers)
2nd There is rumors about Microsoft buying copyrights from Nintendo and create a similar controller? Is that true? (Code name Newton) I have a web link about this matter but I find it stupid after all, Nintendo to give copyrights to Microsoft (lol). Something that gave wings to Wii!! And it’s No1.
Thanks.
Some posts from Nintendo and Lucas
"The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console's motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts. "We've worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force"
"The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, will also add an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends to determine the ultimate Jedi Master"
Some posts from other websites, want wiimote for xbox (lol)
"The Newton controller is going to have to small LED transmitters in a bar that you place next to your TV to triangulate the position of the remote by the LED sensor on the controller. The Big Button controllers that come with Sceen It! use an LED receiver that plugs into the USB ports. They also better get around to making a Xbox brand USB hub. Some of the original designs of the Xbox 360 had four USB ports in front and with all the Xbox accessories that use the USB ports would benefit from more available ports.
By making this controller Microsoft will be able to take away an exclusive feature that makes people want to buy a Nintendo Wii for around the cost of a standard wireless controller. If they bring an external Blu-Ray movie player they would take away one of the biggest reasons why current or potential Xbox owners would want to get a Playstation 3.
This controller would allow game developers to port Wii games to the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade platforms. I would love to see games like Zak and Wiki on Xbox 360. Heck I would pay real money for graphical adventure games on Xbox Live Arcade. "

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh Yeah! Moving your arms in vertical and horizontal gestures is sooo much better than pressing a button. Talk to me when its 1:1 motion and not crappy prescripted crap.
However, in this case, I may actually go with the PS3 version, simply because the graphics are supposed to make this game, and I don't want to miss out on that. But I can definitely understand your concern with the 360's faulty hardware. Just for that reason alone I'd probably go with the Wii version.
Anyway I'd say get the one that you think you'll play all the time.
2nd) Online gaming ( I think xbox comming 1st, Wii 2nd and ps3 3rd)
and finally gameplay 1st Wii, 2nd ps3(i want to believe) and 360
if you check this, I see balance in all platforms so everybody is going to be happy....
My concern about xbox360 faulty hardware (check the pic i got in a prev blog lol) is because i had bad experiece twice in the past. 1st (gear of wars, the screen freezed and strange colors all over. After 5 min i saw ring of death and 2nd time recently, Skate.)
As for the new type of chipset that spitfire said, it's not resolved the problem at all. It is better yes but you have reduced chamces to get ring of death (16%) but this time some new problems sawed up. Lets see...I heared rumors about a new xbox360 edition before or after christmas.
The Wii version does have the Duel mode but in all honesty, I doubt I'd play that for too long as it's probably going to be kind of tacked on, and the motion control will essentially be the same as it was in Twighlight Princess and Okami so I'm not really interested in that either.
But it really comes down to personal preference I think the big showcase and fun for this game is going to be in seeing how the enemies and environment react to me going berserk on them which the Wii version will lack somewhat, but if you you value the motion control over that, than you should go for the Wii version.
Also, even IF Microsoft comes out with a motion controller soon, I doubt it would be implemented in this game so that shouldn't be a factor.
Well, LucasArts has a fashion on making good games on Nintendo Consoles (watch gamecube Starwars games)
I advise you to wait and see...
Yeah, I forgot about the force stuff. I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of it after a while though but that's just me. I just prefer to push the button most of the time.
I do wish the other versions had the VS mode but it's not enough to make me get it on Wii either. I'm kind of hoping it will be DLC later but I'm not holding my breath.
I told myself I would buy the Wii & 360 versions because of the minor differences. But I think I'll wait and find out exactly WHAT the differences are prior to the games release. I know they've already given SOME information, but I want it ALL!
use your head son.
The Wii will have have a different input method, but it will be lacking the 3 engines that are the real stars of the game: Havok, Euphoria, and DMM.

This video is the biggest reason to be excited for the game. The Wii and PS2 versions are merely the story tacked on a generic action game with flat animations.
If u saw the image i hope u dont mean that euphoria and DMM looks like it on xbox360! hahahaha :) lolez
