Want to know about a game? Should we buy that new upcoming release? Post your thoughts on new games and ones you have...so others can know whether to buy it or not! All non-SWBF, non-modding topics should go here.

My point? I hope this switch to next-gen won't get to their heads.

Holy Cheese Macaroni! :o

You can all admit that those models are very nice.. The wireframe doesn't look very high poly to me: at least not more high-poly than swbf2 stuff.. Couldn't this be a fired dude who liked modding, and thinks to confuse us all by making sick models? I mean, i didn't believe Fred was a modder when i first saw his work :P

But anyhow, i should use more bumpmapping on my heroes :yes:

No way. This looks more advanced model- wise than the other, but the other somewhat resembles Harrison Ford.
Sure, with some sort of weird helmet hair? Yeah, this one looks a lot better IMO.

QFT, the SWBF2 version of Han looks like he's wearing an umbrella/helmet on his head that is painted to look like hair.

The hair is yes, a bit off, but in this one, its the face. At least the

looks like Han (face). The new one has a monkey face. Wouldn't even want to play as this "Han".

CoD:WaW was Treyarch. If you meant the PS2 version then you're right.

If Battlefront III is released on the PC, then, because Pandemic is not developing it, is there a chance that the BF3_ModTools won't be released? That would mess my day up. :funny2:

Nope. Still a Lucasarts game, and Pandemic wasn't who released the toools. Lucasarts was. And Lucarts releases mod tools on almost every PC game they make. Or, at least, that's what I've heard before...

Yep. There's actually a bunch of good games they've made. Link.

Supposedly leaked gameplay footage. Looks pretty real to me. Hopefully this gets handed over to a new developer.

Yes, and it looks to be, in large part, complete. I wonder when a release date was scheduled for that. Cursed economy.

My, my doesn't that look amazing... :) The lightsaber vs. sword fight really impressed me.
It looks like they even had a storyline for it. If only... *sigh*

Wowzers. Agreed, on hoping this gets handed to someone else, provided it's handled well.

I may need to order up some new hardware, if this actually does make it that far. :P

Omg, the Slave I?! Dude, that looks awesome! I hope the AI are a lot better in BF3 than BF2... The sword fight at the end did it for me. Looks incredibly awesome. But who are those guys? Is one a Clone Assassin without his helmet on? And who is the guy that keeps appearing? He looks like a clone without his helmet on but with clone armor since he was fighting with Yoda in one screen.

I sure hope we get more news of this!

Good eye, thanks for keeping up at Kotaku (I don't visit frequently and always seem to miss the fun stuff). News linked at SWBFFiles.

Here's a site that I found that said it was going to be released on March 15, 2009. Dunno how true this site is. I've checked other sites and they say its planned to be released in March of this year. Dunno if LucasArts has confirmed that thou... I hope it comes out for Wii or at least PC. And if does come out for Wii, I hope the gameplay will be good and different from that of the Force Unleashed.

That I find hard to believe. Games don't make it to release dates without advertising at least a few months in advance (and this has seen none). Not to mention the company making it went under.
