Talk:Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (video game)

Darth Vader's Voice
Acording to the new Vanity Fair article Matt Sloan (from Chad Vader) is the voice of Darth Vader, not Terrence Carson. Oyam5000 16:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

play as darth vader?
according to a new article at starwars.com, at a certain point in the game, you will be able to play as darth vader. is this true? 69.76.52.74 03:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

First, if its on the official site then it is almost guaranteed to be true. But yes, the first mission is a tutorial of sorts on Kashyyyk. See the Vanity Fair Article. The Secret Apprentice 02:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to the Vanity Fair Article? Darth Plagueis 14:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Release Date
Amazon says July 29, but the Gamestop website says April 1st. Also, the Campaign guide supposedly comes out in April so it makes sense for the game to come out around the same time. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200286 Anyone know what it really is? The Secret Apprentice 02:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Gametrailers has August 8th, Gamestop has September 9th, and Hayden Blackman says April 4th. I'm going with Blackman's, as Gamestop has failed before. Other than that, I don't know. JamesKryack-DarthMalevlent ( The Sith shall rise to power!) |undefined 04:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

And if it's April 4, YES! If it's not, oh well; at least we still get the game. Darth Plagueis 00:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Wait a sec, when did Hayden Blackman say it's coming out on April 4? It seems like that is an older source you've been looking at, but I just wanted to make sure. Darth Plagueis 00:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * He announced that at the Game Developers Conference '08. The interview can most likely be found at G4TV.com. And also, can someone provide an actual link that says the release date is July 29th? Just because Amazon has it listed as that doesn't mean it's true. Like I said, I trust Hayden's more than I trust an online website.

It will be a miracle for them to release it now though; they haven't even put out a huge marketing campaign yet! Besides, they said something about how on April 6, during one of Spike TV's showing of the Star Wars movies, they will show either the new trailer, a new documentary, new game footage, or all of those. They will also commercialize heavily for the game all month, and they may have new updates every time they show the movies. Plus, GameTrailers.com will have another TFU doc on April 11; we don't know if it's the same thing Spike's gonna show though. However, I am looking forward to either a May or June release date; coinciding with the new IJ movie, and being released in summer would really be advantageous to Lucasarts, so I think they'll do it then.

The new official release date is September 16 :( Drewton 19:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, LucasArts said September 17th. This date has been confirmed also on G4TV and LA. TheNewDarthMalevlent  And so the name returns... |undefined 20:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * They said September 17 was for Southeast Asia and Australia. 'LucasArts today announced that its highly anticipated videogame Star Wars®: The Force Unleashed™ will be released on September 16, 2008 in the United States, September 17 in Southeast Asia and Australia'  G4TV also said September 16.
 * Crap, I was watching the wrong channel, 16th is right. Also, sign your posts. TheNewDarthMalevlent  And so the name returns... |undefined 13:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'd forgotten to.Drewton 14:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

New Cover
Okay, they've got the cover for the game on IGN, so can anyone add it to the page? I don't know how to add pictures to wiki pages. Darth Plagueis 14:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Play.com have said it comes out on 26/09/08, gametrailers have said it comes out 08/04/08 and Lucasarts just say coming Summer 2008. Just forget about the release date for now people. 90% of all websites regarding the release date for the game have said it comes out in April, so let it rest until April. If its not out in April then it will be out for Summer, I'm as aching to get this game more than anyone, I've been anxious to get this game since they officially anounced it back in 2004. Lucasarts and all the game informers websites and game shops keep changing the release date every 5 minutes, so I suggest to everyone forget about the game for a while so when you see an advert on TV or a pop up on the net saying its out you'll be more exited about getting the game. Instead of always cheaking websites everyday for more information about the game and the release date, forget about it so if you find out the games been delayed you won't be as mad about it. One thing thats doing my head in is not just the release date the fact that Lucasarts have not given use reasons about why its been delayed. But I am pretty sure Lucasarts will get there act together and bring us the game by the time summer ends. WE HOPE.

Okay, for one, I wasn't talking about the release date. Sheesh. You took me way out of context. I mean check on IGN. They have got the cover of the game's box on it; i.e., the art on the cover of the box which will hold the game. This section had nothing to do with the release date; I just wanted to see if someone could upload that image. I'll do it myself now that no one understands me. I'm just as excited as you for this game; I'm sure we all are. It seems like you're the anxious one, actually. Besides, I'm not mad that the game has been delayed; it's just a video game, I don't spend my whole life looking at articles on it. I only look at new ones like the Vanity Fair article. And I'm just as patient as you are for this game; I can wait till winter if I have to, just so that the game has everything they say it will have. Darth Plagueis 00:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

So, how do we all like the new cover? For me, it's pretty sweet. Darth Plagueis 01:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I like it a lot as a poster, but I would've preferred something else for the cover, more like the KOTOR ones.Drewton 20:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The first KOTOR cover is nice; the second one is okay, but not as good.

Seriously, this is probably the best cover considering what the cover of the book is.

Darth Plagueis 18:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that KOTOR 1's cover is better. I like KOTOR 2 as a game more though.

I thought that the cover of the book is better than the game's; you can't see the Apprentice's face on the book one and the art's very good on the game one, but the only thing mostly we've seen him doing is killed Stormtroopers. I hoped that Vader or Sidious would be on it.Drewton 21:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

The only way I think they could have done that is if they had put the Apprentice kneeling in front of one of them, with some smaller, cooler picture in the background.

Besides, how would they do that; the game is mostly about the SA, since you play as him. I think the reason they did that was because they wanted to attract some people who had never heard of the game before and saw it in the store one day, and they wanted to give us something familiar.

I've never played any of the KOTORs, so I wouldn't know which is better or not.
