The Force Unleashed
« on: June 09, 2008, 11:55:45 PM »
Man, when will this ever get released?!?  I know they're talking August or September, but then again, it's been pushed back several times already.  For as much hype as this game has generated, along with the incredible merchandising campaign that's been going on and will continue to go on, this had BETTER deliver!

I may be forced to get this game for ps2, but get it I will. I just dont have enough time to justify the expense of a 360 or ps3 yet.

It depends on the file size. I wouldn't think too long, as long as you aren't playing a game online while it downloads which is what I usually do.

I can't wait until tomorrow when the demo becomes live.  I'll be buying it for my Xbox 360 that morning!  Heck, I may go to Wal-Mart at Midnight to get it!

The Demo is now live!  I'm about to run and play it now.  If anyone has the PS3, can you tell me if the PS3 download is available now as well?  What do you guys think about the game so far?  Is the hype worth the wait?

I just played it, and I am impressed.  The visuals seemed pretty nice, on par or even a bit better with KOTOR.  The Force dynamics are a lot of fun already too.  I don't know if this level falls in the beginning or middle or what, but the Force Grip, Force Lightning, Force Push, as well as lightsaber battle is a LOT of fun.  I can only imagine what the whole game will be like.  After you finish the level, there is an extended trailer as well, and if that's any indication of gameplay, this is going to be a GREAT play!

Are you telling me it has taken over 3 hours for you to download the demo on PS3?!?!  It took me a grand total of about 5 minutes on my 360 using a cable modem.  What kind of connection are you using?

Yeah, I've heard that PS3 Online has been pretty crappy, and in fact is a major reason for poor sales.  I know Sony took a multi-billion dollar loss last quarter alone due to the poor sales of PS3.
