The latest Star Wars: Force Unleashed trailer goes public photo

After getting one of those stellar tips from Joe Burling that Entertainment Tonight would have the world premiere of the latest Star Wars: Force Unleashed on their show this evening, I was beyond stoked. Since I couldn't locate an embed code from ET to use here, you're going to have to settle for a nice link to the official site, and Yahoo, which has this and more. I could've searched around on YouTube for one, but the thought of having Lucas dispatch a group of guys in dark glasses and suits at my door unannounced is quite the deterrence.

For the small minority of readers out there who don't already know this, the game takes place between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. Players will help Darth Vader in his quest to eliminate the Jedi from the universe and possibly change the course of history.

If you are not totally blown away by what you see, and stare at your screen in total awe, then I don't know what else to say. The trailer looks beautiful, and Vader's apprentice never looked more evil powerful. Heck, nobody in the Star Wars universe (to my knowledge) has ever pulled off some of the stuff we've witnessed in this  two-minute trailer. And for the record, I don't care about that scene with Yoda and the X-wing back on Dagobah. Call me back when you see him stop a Star Destroyer, just inches from his face. Anyway, that Spring 2008 release date is getting much harder to wait for, with each passing bit of news we get.

[Thanks to Matt Morris as well]

Anyone notice that PS3 controller at the bottom of the Yahoo page? Wtf is that? Is that a leaked redesign? Thumbstick and directional buttons are switched.

WOAH! Another Star Wars game.

Except this time, it's different!

It's got bongo music!



Seriously though, they need to stop. LucasArts has to collectively head into rehab and really work the 12 steps. They are badly addicted to making Star Wars games, and it's slowly destroying them.

I hope my sarcasm meter just registered a false alarm. I'd hate to hear about Vader force-choking you. He's very unforgiving, you know.

aside from the next gen physics / scale/ etc. the game play really doesn't look any different from the past star wars games.

force push this, lightning kill that. same old same old.

I think it looks pretty awesome, but uhh... If he's Darth Vader's apprentice, why is the whole video showing him taking the empire to task?

Looks good like... not amazing.

But yeah more importantly, what's with that PS3 controller!? I've wanted them to Switch the dpad and stick for years.

Even I think bringing down a mile-long Star Destroyer is an impressive use of the Force. The fun will be in seeing how much destruction you can do. I'm on this bandwagon of win.

If there is a button whose sole function is "pull Star Destroyer from sky like complete badass" then the game will be worth it. Otherwise it only looks average right now. Some more advanced gameplay footage would be nice, although the Rancor fight gives me hope for some high quality God of War-esque fights. My fingers are crossed for this one.

Looks good. I'm naturally skeptical with Star Wars games, though. I look forward to seeing the physics engine in action, though, as well as the AI. I don't know if any of you recall those video demonstrations of those aspects from a while ago, but they looked potentially stupendous, if implemented well. Hopefully, the Force will be your primary form of combat, instead of some meter that has a limited charge or whatever.

Yeah, What the hell is up with that PS3 controller? Odd.

Hmm. From a star wars fan, I would just like to say I am slightly concerned about the lack of saber combat. Looks like they had way too much fun with the physics and force powers. I mean it looks pretty, but do we really need to come up with a new way to hold a lightsaber in each new installment of the series? How about just make a nicely upgraded (Live ready) installment of the Jedi Knight series...

This is another example of george lucas fucking up his franchise with retarded reinventing the starwars universe. First he turn darth vader into a badass in the first trilogy then he turn him into an emo cry-baby in the prequels now he had an apprentice who could stop falling starships, destroy tie-fighters with his powers but you never heard of him before and apparently he wasn't strong enough to kill his master(which all sith tend to do). At this point the franchise seems like a joke to me but hey, thats my opinion.

@Tron Knotts:

Whats wrong with more star wars games/ it's not like there all the same, just set in the same universe... a universe which I must say, is better than cats.

This game could possibly tip me over the edge and cause me to spend my food money on a 360.... mmmmm....

I talked to LucasArts about this and they said you upgrade your force powers throughout the entire game (kind of like upgrading a weapon). They didn't say it exactly, but they hinted that pulling down something as large as a Star Destroyer would be in the game. Amazing. :)

...Wait...

He's Vader's apprentice, helping to purge the rest of the Jedi...but almost all of the gameplay in that video revolved around him wasting Stormtroopers, TIE fighters and other Empire toys.

What the hell?
