New 'The Force Unleashed' Trailer
- Thread starter TheBrew

I don't like the Vader voice actor.
People criticized Hayden Christianson a lot, but at least he tried to keep the stilted, paused, contemplative vocal inflections of James Earl Jones. (Most people don't seem to get that, but I digress.) The guy doing the voice in this is not trying to maintain that at all.
And all the other stuff...Vader having his own dark Jedi, the "knighting" with the lightsaber, Vader still being a good swordsman so soon after his conversion. I think I just hate the EU.
As a game, though...well, I'm not a gamer.

I wasn't aware that Hayden Christiansen had ever voiced Darth Vader (post maiming).

Looks interesting enjoyed playing the old Jedi knight / academy games this seems similar with a much improved physics and graphics engine. I just wish Lucas arts would release it for pc as well as consoles. There was also a strong mod community for the original games.
It'll be released for pc eventually. Aren't they all? They just want to milk it for all it's worth on consoles before switching to PCs where they can add a frame or two, call it extra content and sell it all over again.
No doubt that'll happen. They'll add in a bonus mission like you said because that's what they did with KOTOR (Yavin Station). Maybe it'll be a mission where you have to slaughter ewoks to make way for the Imperial Base on Endor (it's no worse than the unit in EAW that threw bomb loaded Ewoks as weapons).
Trailer looks great, can't wait for the game.
What would be double buy the game for PC is if there's a modding possibility out there.

Here's the youtube of that video. In case anyone else is also having troubles with the video player in the OP's link.
It's kinda sad when the upcoming video game looks better, and sounds like it has more of a plot than the upcoming movie.
I do agree on the Vader voice acter, though. They've used him in a bunch of games, and I've never liked it. If they can't do the voice right, they should have just left Vader out of the game.
Luke Skywalker's voice acters have never sounded quite right either.

He didn't. Everything after he puts on the suit is Jones. Curiously, the voice of Vader in the game is Matthew Sloan.
The trailer looks great. I am really enthusiastic about this now. Interesting that they have managed to get Jimmy Smits to voice Bail Organa.
The Trailer is also available at the Official Website.
I thought they found a good sound-a-like for Luke in the Rogue Squadron games.
Being a handheld gamer, I don't know on this one. The DS version's controls look bizzare, and the PSP version looks like Chains of Olympus with a different skin.
There better be a PC port.

The actor playing Vader has only done one game before this.
Agreed, that better come to PC eventually or I'm going to be pretty upset, because that kicks enough ass to crew a Death Star.
