Force Unleashed Demo Set For August 7/29/08 |
| Posted By: Rainoffire @ July 28, 2008 06:22 pm |
A few avid "Star Wars" fans have been concerned regarding the current position and future of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The recent round of layoffs at LucasArts prompted widespread uneasiness for the highly anticipated game, and there were several rumors that said the game may be postponed or even canceled indefinitely.
But LucasArts turned a deaf ear to the rumors and continued to motor along, and now they're ready to release a playable demo to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace some time next month. As GameCenterOnline shows in this video featuring Marketing Manager Matt Shell, the demo will become a reality within the next few weeks. We will play through the Tie Fighter Construction Facility level, enjoying our special powers as we sample what should be some finely polished action. Something about a "special ending" not seen in the full game was mentioned as well, although we admit to being a bit confused...we're going to see an ending in the demo? And it's an "ending" that won't be seen in the final product? Hmm...
Anyway, we'll let you know when they nail down an exact release for the demo; we're sure many of you will be eagerly awaiting its arrival. "Star Wars" can never die!

Soul Calibur IV: Vader And Yoda Not Exclusive, Just "Locked?" 7/29/08 |
| Posted By: Rainoffire @ July 28, 2008 06:20 pm |
Anybody who has followed Soul Calibur IV - which releases this week, by the way - is well aware of the existence of "Star Wars" characters in the new fighter roster. The Apprentice will be available for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, Darth Vader is exclusive to the PS3, and Yoda is exclusive to the 360. But according to recent evidence that may incite a bit of a backlash, are the latter two characters really exclusive?
We already know that both characters will be available via the Store or the Marketplace at some point in the future. This way, Vader and Yoda will be able to battle, which is what most "Star Wars" fans are eagerly anticipating. Of course, you'll have to pay for this privilege, but according to Binge Gamer, that's unfair. It seems that Namco has a habit of including the data on the discs when they're shipped; we only download an unlock key of sorts in order to access it. This means that Vader is actually in the 360 version and Yoda is actually in the PS3 version, but we have to pay to gain access to them. The site mentions Namco's Beautiful Katamari as an example of this practice in the past. Four new levels were available for download, but the download was only 384KB...which doesn't seem to add up to 4 whole new levels. It seems to indicate 384KB worth of unlock codes for something that's already included on the original disc.
And now, it appears they're doing this again for Soul Calibur IV. We can't call this official information, of course, but if it's true, some gamers may be annoyed. If they're going to the trouble of putting it on the disc in the first place, why charge us to unlock it? What's that about?

E3 2008: Soulcalibur IV strikes gold 7/16/08 |
| Posted By: Rainoffire @ July 16, 2008 07:54 pm |
Get ready for an onslaught of undead pirates and fleshy eyeball-equipped swords. Namco Bandai Games today announced that Soulcalibur IV has gone gold for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
While the game has garnered the most headlines for its inclusion of Star Wars characters (Darth Vader on the PS3, Yoda on the Xbox 360, and Force Unleashed's Secret Apprentice on both), Soulcalibur IV is notable for a few other reasons. In addition to being the first-ever version of the series playable online, Soulcalibur IV includes "critical finish" moves to end matches in a single hit, and secret characters designed by Japanese manga artists.
Namco Bandai isn't relying on those features alone to sell the game. The publisher today announced a North American advertising blitz to run through August. Soulcalibur IV will be promoted in 15- and 30-second commercials on cable TV channels in the US and Canada, in addition to the standard online and print advertising campaigns and promotional partnerships.
Soulcalibur IV will arrive in stores July 29, with a retail price of $59.99. Limited edition versions of the game will include exclusive content and swag for $79.99. |
