Plot van het verhaal |
The next chapter in the star wars sage, star wars: the force unleashed tells the story of Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice, a mysterious figure who has been trained by the menacing Sith Lord to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Set in the dark times between Episodes III and IV, the story is both a continuation of the prequel trilogy – exploring the aftermath of Order 66 and focusing on the continued evolution of Darth Vader – and a direct bridge to the Classic Trilogy. The Force Unleashed will forever change the Star Wars galaxy and lead directly to events in Star Wars: A New Hope. Developed under de direction of George Lucas, the storyline for The Force Unleashed remains a closely-guarded secret. However, it has been revealed that the Secret Apprentice’s journey takes him across the galaxy – from the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyk tot the junkyard planet Raxus Prima and the mushroom covered Felucia. He will be aided in his dangerous missions by a loyal sidekick Proxy – a prototype holodroid with amazing abilities – and a beautiful Imperial pilot named Juno Eclipse. The Apprentice will clash with powerful Force wielders, including the spirited Zabrak warrior Maris Brood, and General Rahm Kota, a hard-boiled Jedi Soldier who senses that the Apprentice is destined to become something far greater that just Darth Vader’s servant. |

[/tr][tr][td]Hoewel de game uiteraard nog lang niet zal verschijnen, is alles momenteel in concept art. Wel zullen er een aantal duidelijke features ten tonele komen:
• 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.
• Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
• Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.
• The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
• The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
• LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.
• The first level (Kashyyk) will be played as Darth Vader himself (yay

• No Multiplayer on Xbox 360/PS3
The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of The Force Unleashed will not get the same multiplayer treatment as the Wii version as it has been revealed there is no multiplayer mode in either of those two versions. LucasArts’ official statement:
• Why Force Unleashed is not on PC“To be specific, there’s no multiplayer in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, because there is on the Wii, PSP, and DS. As far as specific reasons are concerned, we don’t really like to get into the reasons why we don’t do things because I don’t think there’s really a satisfactory answer that people would really be happy with. So, there isn’t multiplayer and that’s kind of how it is…”
Finally we have a confirmed reason for why The Force Unleashed will not be released for PC. The producer of Force Unleashed, Cameron Suey, in an interview with Videogamer.com, stated that it would be too hard to develop a game which could satisfy both killer gaming rigs and outdated ones.
“The PC being the gaming platform that it is, someone with a $4,000 high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria, the DMM and really technical elements of the game. But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn’t be the same game,” Suey said.
One might ask why not give the PC version a more scaled down version of the game so that it would reach a wider install base, well Suey says that would not be taking advantage of what the $4,000 rigs can do, so “it’s going to be not as good or only for a select few people.”
However don’t get too down as Suey did have some good things to say about the PC in LucasArt’s future. “That said we’re definitely not out of the PC market. It’s just with our choice for this game, with the known quantity for the consoles, and every console is the same with the same processing power, it made sense for us to develop for those consoles.”

Eigen Impressie |
De game is nog erg pril, maar zoals ook in de diary van de makers te zien en te horen is zullen er erg veel bekende featuers terugkomen. Wat mij het meeste aantrekt is natuurlijk enemies neermaaien met coole force powers ![]() Wat imo een goede ontwikkeling is, is het feit dat de force powers terug gebracht zijn tot de core 4 : Push, Pull, Grip en Lightning. In de vorige delen was er wel meer keuze in de powers maar lets face it, afgezien van de core powers gebruikte je die andere nooit ![]() Daarnaast is het natuurlijk leuk voor Star Wars fans om meer van het verhaal te weten te komen. Het verhaal is namelijk grotendeels door George Lucas zelf bedacht. Hierdoor zal het wat natuurgetrouwer aanvoelen. |
