Sadly Euphoria is only in the 360 and PS3 versions
but I voted for Wii because it really the only console I have

The Star Wars: TFU demo comes out on August 21st - my 17th birthday! It's coming out on Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. There's some info on the demo in the new GTTV - http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailer ... &ch=1&sd=0.

I downloaded the demo today, it was fun but short.
Hidden/Spoiler:
If I hadn't so much trouble fighting the AT-ST at the end it would have taken me 10-20 minutes to complete the level.
And even shorter if I didn't want to test all those force powers, but I guess demos are supposed to be short.

My mother stole the TV I use for my Xbox, because the other tv she always uses broke a few days ago. So I couldn't play it for long. I can only play my Xbox when she's not in the room because she apparantly hates the games I play... well just any game, she even hates it when I'm just at the Xbox Dashboard :P

That factory level must be made for BFII.


Even better, make BFIII using those graphics and engines. :P
Hidden/Spoiler:
I especially love the fact that the game tells you what combo you need to use to finish off a boss, X-A-X for the AT-ST for instance.

The spoiler box is for those who don't want to know about the demo at all. I don't go into the story. :P
Hidden/Spoiler:
Hopefully the difficulty increases dramatically as you progress through the game. I played the game on the hardest difficulty setting available the first time through and only died once when I reached the boss.

Overall, I wasn't really impressed. The controls work okay and the camera is fine, but there's a lot of bugs hanging around here and there. I also think that DMM should have been used more - there were a few glass windows at the beginning but most objects either don't explode or disappear with a bog standard explosion - the TIE fighter was the worst culprit. Euphoria was interesting to see, but I found it odd that dead stormtroopers were still capable of picking up friends - sometimes the person being picked up will magnetically stick to the gun the other trooper is holding.

Still, I'm nitpicking. I'll probably get the game at some point just for its story, and no doubt there'll be more interesting places to visit rather than being stuck in corridors most of the time.
Does anyone know how to unlock the hardest difficulty setting? Is that possible in the demo?

Today i played the Demo,too.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Like Rekubot wrote,it`s not that much impressive.Its good but not awesome and im not a big Fan of Combo Kill Moves.
The German Voice of Darth Vader isnt the same as in the Movies and doesnt sound like a Lord of the Sith :-(
I dont want to say but for me its not more than a next gen Jedi Academy with ultra pimped Force Powers and massive destructable Areas.
The GFX and the Story are fine so i will get it and hope its worth buying.

Yeah, wasn't this demo made in January or even earlier, they just added a few graphical updates to make it presentable?

I wouldn't worry about the glitches, they've probably been fixed by now.

I played yesterday, and it was good, I played once on each difficulty and easy twice for the sandbox aspect of it. My fav thing to do is force grip-throw people into metal walls and inspect the dent they left. :)

It could have been better, one thing it definitely needs is to be more fluid than it is sharp in the anims, that's what euphoria is for. Oh and... I'm so making the protagonist for BF2. He may end up in my map!

It would have been cool (for us Wii-ers) if Lucasarts made a Demo through WiiWare for this game.

*Yet again curses the lack of a hard drive for Wii*

that's probably why, possibly the TFU demo is too big

Slightly under 1GB.


Apparently, there's an Easter Egg in the demo.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Boss/Delta 38's helmet is somewhere on top of the area where the TIE attacks you, not sure on the specifics.

Easter Egg: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/user ... t=featured

I dont have XBL for my 360, but have two gold membership cards from GTA 4 and when my xbox got the red ring. All I need now is one of those 170$AU wireless adapters >.<

AMAZING.

Since my friend has access to all this behind the scenes knowledge, he told me of one of the major problems. I dont know if this has been mentioned, didnt bother going through the 20 or so pages.

When you toss a stormtrooper (for instance), he will grab onto a ground object. The ground object, lets say, is a bench. The bench is only so strong, and soon it too, flies into the air. Then, you toss another trooper. However, since the old stormy is still holding onto the bench, it is still a ground object to the game, so anyone else circulating in the air will try to grab onto it, thinking it it on the ground.

Actually, the demo is over half-a-year old, it's from January. It just had the graphics updated since then.
