Hmmm...

I dunno. It's hard to get excited about a cinematic.


If the actual gameplay eventually ends up being like that it could be an awesome game, though.

I hate, hate, hate the premise of the game. But the openness of it all may be interesting. Have to wait and see.

Wow, just abused that one stormtrooper. Although as Dark Vadar's apprentice, I don't see why we'd be fighting stormtroopers in the first place.

The video was just a tech demo that was released a while back, and is at least a couple of months old. It has nothing to do with the story of the game they just announced.

Here's hoping this becomes the next good series of Star Wars games.

It sounds cool but I don't like the idea of playing as a villian.

Really? Playing a dark-side jedi was my favorite part of the KOTOR game.

I'm not entirely sure I find the tech demo believable...


If this really winds up being as good at the hype machine around it, though, it maybe be worth me buying a 360 later at a lower price.

Edit: Light Saber Tonfa? Wtf?

Sorry, I don't buy the detail in the animation, which is part of what makes those demos so damn cool. Watching Stormtroopers squirming beneath your Force powers is hysterical, but I'll bet dollars to pesos the in-game animation won't reach that quality.

How about some pretty spiffy AI Tech?

I don't know about you guys, put this little ditty up here has me pretty interested in the game. Of course, it'll be interesting to see how far the "self preserving AI" goes. Is it just for show like the demo, or will it really have gameplay implications?

Hopefully we'll see this game also highlight the new Indiana Jones' game animation technlogy, which is by itsself pretty damn impressive. Or even better yet, we'll see this AI stuff in the new Indiana Jones' game.

Game Review - Fallout 3 - Fantastic

Starts out slowly and confusingly, but ends with a bang. Good story, but it's the little details and the NPCs that make the DC wasteland come to life. Gameplay transition from merely surviving the wastelands to thriving in it is fantastic. Immense freedom. Combat is generally fun and VATS is a nice system for the RPG inclined. Enemy AI is simple at best. Good visuals considering the scope of the game. Iventory management takes up far too much time in the game.
