Haden Blackman, the project leader on "The Force Unleashed" video game, has a daydream: He strolls into the movie theater, buys some popcorn and then sits down and watches his game's tale of Darth Vader and his secret apprentice flicker to life as cinema.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
this game is amazing,satisfying,atmospheric and it's a breath of fresh air
sure,you can say it has some glitches and design issues,but it's an awesome experience
just go ign or gs and see the user average
or go check a youtube video that has more than 1 millon views and lots of comments,nearly everyone says it rocks
or go google and type"the force unleashed underrated"
and see how many gamers are angry of these harsh,high criticism, reviews for this one
imagine,halo 3 and gta 4 reviews with this level of criticism and
nitpicking.
this game is 9 out of 10 for me.
i just beat the game (rented it)
and i can tell you that this game was broken. first of all, it had the absolute worst, and i mean WORST level design i have ever seen. i should not fall to my death because the bridge im standing on has round edges. during one of the boss fights (against the jedi with like 6 arms), he got stuck inside of a wall, so the fight was impossible to finish, i had to restart. but the story was excellent, and i hope this becomes a movie, because the story was about the only great thing from this game.
I finished the game I agree the game mechanics need improvement or updates. I doubt this will be a movie, unless the modify it to so Darth Vader hunting Jedi down. If they left it they way it is, it would deflate how certain characters (don't want to spoil the ending) in the Star War movies would look weak and undermining episodes 4-6. Plus the main character would be a throw away one so you won't relate to them as the other main characters.
Some of your comments don't relate to the article. The article is asking if the story of the game is compelling enough to be a movie? Not "is the game flawed or perfect?"
From a purely story perspective, which includes the novel and the various gaming incarnations story differences, I say "YES."
JUST as long as Lucas is JUST the exec producer.
