Let`s get the hype going: Darth Obi Wan and some other bad news
Teta | 1:11 PM on 01.16.2009 16 comments


I`m still sick at home, dreaming of playing SW:Battlefront 3, and those bastards over Kotaku have posted 2 images of a plot twist, involving Obi Wan as a sith.

My pijama`s just can`t take that amount of awesome in 2 pictures:



OMG I want that game so bad.

Source: Kotaku

I also came across some bad news, quoting spong.com:
"Speaking to SPOnG, an ex-employee of Free Radical has confirmed that the leaked Star Wars: Battlefront III footage is genuine, but that crucial technology developed for the game is unlikely to make it into the final code.

The former employee, who wishes to be known only as Thomas Dudenaughty, told SPOnG, "It's genuine. However, it's my understanding that the game's been passed to a new developer, but the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground, to air, to orbit, to space dies with Free Radical's involvement. The new developer will be making it a cutscene every time you want to transition from ground to space."

We were told that the game mechanic would have offered "complete freedom"."

Thanks for killing my boner Free Radical :(

Gibbo's Destructoid Blog
I don't know, I don't think that Obi Wan would ever go the dark side. It's an interesting concept none the less.
JohnnyViral's Destructoid Blog
I agree with Gibbo. Its a very interesting concept, but im pretty sure that Obi-Wan woul never fall to the dark side. On that note, Battlefront does look freaking sweet.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Just because you're a Sith Lord doesn't mean you have to be a fashion nightmare. Get a new cloak, son, that shit is ragged.
BulletTrain's Destructoid Blog
I think it might be cool for a "what if" kinda deal, but to try to work it out to make any sense or put a real story to it would just ruin the idea completely.
Count Grishnack's Destructoid Blog
I like the Kotaku commenter that said "How long before they do this with every character and we get a Sith Yoda?"

Sad, but probably true.

And that would still be pretty fucking badass.
megaStryke's Destructoid Blog
I was just glancing at this article on the front page when it hit me: Dark Obi-Wan and Rob Zombie are the same person!
Jesus H Christ's Destructoid Blog
Oh god all the bitching "Dark Obiwan" will create. Looks awesome, though.
Teta's Destructoid Blog
The real point here is that Free Radical kept the code for complete freedom, so no more ship entering and docking in outter space.
Fuck this world.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
I wouldn't say they kept the code necessarily. Seems that whoever is picking it up just doesn't want to use it.

That sucks either way.
NotAZombie's Destructoid Blog
@ Teta

Seriously? Well that would kind of seal the deal for me not getting it.
DanlHaas's Destructoid Blog
Holy crap, that land-to-space shit was the only thing that really floored me when I watched that footage. Who wouldn't want to keep that?
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
The idea behind this may have been like so:

Let's say you get stuck on the Sith team. You're really bummed because you wanted to play as, say, Mace Windu. Well, now you have that option. It could have been that they wanted everyone to play with whoever they wanted, regardless of the team they get stuck on. It's a very interesting decision and a smart move. That is, if I'm right.

I want my penis to join the dark side.
Cough's Destructoid Blog
Boy, he's really, really gone to the dark side. I mean, shit!. You think that obi wan would present himself a little better.
EightBitMav's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I actually liked seeing these designs, but then again, I'm a sucker for alternate takes on already established items.

But yeah...I agree with cough. You'd think Obi-Wan would have kept himself a bit more clean...this is like he went and stayed a hermit while murdering random passer-bys on Tatooine.

UH OH, SHIT JUST HIT THE FAN
