Seems to me the timeframe would have to be post-episode VI. There are stormies, and I don't recall any of the jedi having force powers like that in episode 3.(or any of the movies). Most sources believe it will be a 360/PS3 only game, tho we don't know for sure. Even if it isn't JK4 it still looks like it will be awesome.

I can't remember anyone saying there are loads of jk style games? I gave two links to games that have similar lightsaber orientated game mechanics to JK:JO/JA thats all.

Right now it seems likely the game could either be an Episode 3:Revenge of the Sith style saber/force action game, or (if we are lucky) a next gen fps/actioner like JK utilising enhanced physics.

And i agree with Pink, it looks like it has been developed with PS3/Xbox 360 in mind, with the possiblity of it being on the PC as well (we hope).

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but two examples of other star wars games featuring lightsaber combat and force powers in the action game format are:

Obi Wan for X-Box
and:
Episode III the game
Neither of which are very good though.

No. The current systems considered 'Next-Generation' are still X-Box 360, PS3, and Wii. They have merely been released at different times. Also they will sometimes say Next-Gen when its also a possible release for the PC, due to its massive requirements.

Edit: In fact i don't remember seeing the PS3 released yet either.

Why do you think it is coming out for the Wii? I have seen nothing to give that impression. Most people are speculating an X-Box 360/PS3 release, with the possiblity of PC.

LA have merely said they are considering making a Wii lightsaber game last i heard :confused:

"A Jedi uses the Force only for defence, never for attack." -Yoda
Jedi aren't supposed to use blue lightning, and I'm damn sure hurling pieces of crap at a TIE Fighter or repeatedly bashing a Stormtrooper on the ground with the Force would be looked down upon. But then again, if George Lucas has something to do with this, then he's just continuing what was already set in motion by destroying everything his struggle had stood for. I've got a bad feeling about this.


Personally i think we should not shoot this down before we have any solid info on the game =|

To adress the point made here, this game is set during the rise of the Empire (this seems certain) and will likely feature Vader, i believe the player will have access to force powers such as lightning much in the same way players had access to it in JK and even KotOR. Remember this was a demonstration of what the game can do, designed initially for journalists at e3. They were not going to show a finished level (its not due out till about '08!) nor would they show a load of jedi meditating or running away :P

Anyway i say we wait and see before we jump all over it looking for faults.

:eek: I hadn't realised that video was on youtube!

Awesome find Quam, although unfortunatly it is not 'JK4' all evidence so far suggests it will be set in the gap between episodes III and IV, perhaps coinciding with the live action television project they have planned among other things.

All i had seen before this was the concept art for it, although i had heard of this trailer from games reviews etc. who were invited to watch it at e3. I believe the working title for it at the moment is 'Star Wars: Force Unleashed'.

Regardless it looks absolutley amazing, looks like it will take star wars games - and perhaps action/adventure style games depending on how it plays - to a whole new level physics wise.

Basically i can't wait! :D
