LucasArts released a fancy new trailer for The Force Unleashed and, although many of the people who made it aren't working at the company anymore, the empire must march on to get ready for the Sept 16 launch.

Feel free to peruse our hands-on impressions of several versions of the game (Wii, PSP/PS2, DS) after you've checked out the trailer featuring -- what we're guessing, by the looks of it -- is the PS3/Xbox 360 version of the title. The Dark Apprentice can be found force powering it up after the break.

I still think it's horrible how the stormtroopers grab onto eachother when they get thrown off buildings.

Gbogdan: Jul 11th 2008; 1:11AM

If you were getting thrown off of a building wouldn't you grab on to anything and everything to try and stop it?

Residentevil72501: Jul 10th 2008; 9:38PM

Def gunna get this!

Bouille: Jul 10th 2008; 9:42PM

Spoilerific!!!! I think I've just guessed the entire plot... Still this is the only Star Wars title that has me exited can't wait for me.

Obie: Jul 10th 2008; 11:43PM

Why is everyone screaming spoilers? Obviously this totally unknown "apprentice" will get killed since he does not appear in Episodes 4-6. So of course the writers had to get rid of him somehow.

GoonieGooGoo: Jul 11th 2008; 10:43AM

Well considering that technically there can only be 2 real "Sith" at a time.......it does merit that eventually the APPRENTICE has to attempt to take out his master at some point.

Its just the Sith Way.....all kinda AFRO SAMURAI like.

CitizenSnips: Jul 10th 2008; 9:55PM

Dude, they couldn't get James Earl Jones to do Vader voice?

Lame.

Charlie_Six: Jul 10th 2008; 11:38PM

It sounds like they got the guy from the Chad Vader videos. I think he does a great Vader impersonation.

Obie: Jul 10th 2008; 11:41PM

Yeah that is the same guy that does "Chad Vader" on youtube...I am not kidding.

NvM: Jul 11th 2008; 12:33AM

I bet they could've but were like
'Why spend thousands on the real thing when we could spend a couple hundred on the youtube version?'

David Finkelstein: Jul 10th 2008; 9:59PM

o man..... this loooks badass

WiiFTW: Jul 10th 2008; 10:05PM

This actually looks good. I'm actually surprised by the presence of a plot. I'm probably going to pick this up.

Sesur: Jul 10th 2008; 10:17PM

this looks extremely promising...

Ihavepants: Jul 10th 2008; 10:30PM

It's a shame that Lucas Arts has even ported this game to the DS and PS2... and yet they think PC's don't have enough grunt to run it.

I would have bought it.

paralipsis: Jul 11th 2008; 12:15AM

Yeah. I would have bought it if it were for PC too.

ThePerfectCompanion: Jul 10th 2008; 10:50PM

PC gaming is dead and PC folks really need to get over it...

Anyways that basically spoils the whole game by telling us how it will end but I'll still get it.

Ihavepants: Jul 10th 2008; 11:08PM

I'm a troll, HURRRGHGHGG

mackid105: Jul 10th 2008; 11:47PM

lmao PC gaming dead??? what galaxy do you live in it is far from dead! All my friends and i do from school is play PC games and host PC only LANs on capmus and guess what buddy we empty the dorms. PC gaming is far from dead its just the fact that most people get confused by specs so they dont bother buying them in case the game doesnt run. but yea PC gaming is far far far from dead

sicsided: Jul 10th 2008; 11:55PM

tell that to Spore, Diablo III, Starcraft II, Sins of a Solar Empire, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Half-Life.... Yeah.

deaftly: Jul 11th 2008; 11:00AM

PCDF?!?

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): Jul 10th 2008; 10:54PM

While it was badass:

WAS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO SPOIL ALL THAT IN ONE TRAILER?!! JESUS CHRIST!!!

Sam406: Jul 10th 2008; 10:55PM

Ugh, tough choice, loyalty to Vader, or loyalty to hot chick... Guess I'll be playing this game more than once.

capt_carl: Jul 10th 2008; 11:17PM

I seriously came when I saw this.

xGeneral DEATHx: Jul 11th 2008; 10:53AM

:-|

Glitch W: Jul 10th 2008; 11:18PM

That really seamed like it spoiled a good bit

Flakundenga: Jul 10th 2008; 11:55PM

WTF is up with LucasArts!!! They have revealed the the main components of the plot already!!!! I've already seen to spoiler full vids that basically reveal the story and this just made it worst!!! Aghhhhhhhhhhh...I still think I'll give it a try although I've never seen a Star Wars movie in my life.

WiNG [Life in a Game]: Jul 11th 2008; 12:16AM

Well the whole point of the fight with Vader is ridiculous, since you know that you cannot win. Either the main character escapes or gets killed, but you obviously cannot beat Vader due to the storyline.

dantehellfire: Jul 11th 2008; 9:18AM

Maybe he does beat vader but lets him live. It is a tale of redemption you know from dark to light. wikipedia states that there are two endings one where he survives and one where he doesn't they could just have him exile himeself with juno. The finale possibilities with this title are endless.

gamer9190: Jul 11th 2008; 12:28AM

Um, this is a game about the Sith. If you didn't think there were going to be betrayals... Go watch Episode III, or some supplementary content. >.>;

juju187: Jul 11th 2008; 12:28AM

wow...
best thing to come out of lucas arts and they can the artists...
i will buy this game. but not looking forward to future projects

Vcize: Jul 11th 2008; 12:30AM

Wow uh, can we put a spoiler tag on that video or something? I really wish I hadn't watched that video, especially the last 10 seconds or so.

Superstar90: Jul 11th 2008; 1:21AM

clearly everyone knows that the sith betray each other. and this happens between 3-4 so you know vader doesnt die yet, and he doesnt have an apprentice...

Jose42: Jul 11th 2008; 1:26AM

Do want.

Dean24: Jul 11th 2008; 6:25AM

Will this game Have Online play for the ps3 version, Thanks alot
Dean

Snowblind: Jul 11th 2008; 6:42AM

PS3 and 360 versions have no multiplayer what so ever.

Dean24: Jul 11th 2008; 7:21AM

tut thats quite poo would be great 30 people force pushing grabbing u'll see 29 people get flunk to the air and lighsabored on the way down, and i so wanted to knock a tree on sum nooby :( all thats out the window still get the game make them stormtroppers beg for mersey then ill just flink them off a cliff and make them hang for dear life!
lolz

KindaGamey: Jul 11th 2008; 8:14AM

Am I missing the font for the comments or something? It all looks like it was written with a babypoop crayon.

BoBoTheChimp: Jul 11th 2008; 8:46AM

Dammit I wish I would have known about this, I would have brought a change of pants to work!

zombienutz: Jul 11th 2008; 8:54AM

I am a Star Wars fan, but it was not until this trailer that I was excited for the game. All I wanted was something that is not video of guys flying by each other and holding hands. This shows off what looks to be a promising story idea...and some badass moves.

kongkoro: Jul 11th 2008; 8:58AM

Is it just me or do videos from gamevideos.com lag like crazy???

-btw that trailer was awesome...when it finally loaded.

fyreblazer: Jul 11th 2008; 10:20AM

LMAO @ Everyone screaming "spoilers". Think people...if you thought the kid wasn't going to die @ the hands of Vader then you really aren't using your brain. I thought everybody knew there would be a betrayal...

Red Leader: Jul 11th 2008; 11:14AM

Wasn't completely convinced until I saw this trailer that the game would be all that good. I'm still on the fence about buying it though. Jedi Academy is all the Star Wars I need until something better comes out.

Cooper: Jul 11th 2008; 11:19AM

Am I the only one that thinks this looks completely cack? It's like a marketing man's idea of Star Wars. Completely sucks.

Oh and the FMV acting and direction look no better than Rebel Assault II.

TrojanGuy: Jul 11th 2008; 1:46PM

That's sooooo bitchin'.

MikeJett: Jul 11th 2008; 2:17PM

sweet .... now i have to decide ..... Wii or 360? .... conundrum .....

Ken: Jul 11th 2008; 4:03PM

Anyone else thinks it's weird how he holds his lightsaber behind him? I've never seen that style before

j$: Jul 11th 2008; 4:48PM

I would give anything just to have more movies come out and be done with the guy who did the last set of batman movies.

tokyosensei: Jul 11th 2008; 4:53PM

I would give anything for lucas to let the guy who is making the batman movies now to make a new set of movies.

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force): Jul 12th 2008; 11:05PM

People complain about spoilers, but truth be told, it has only increased my desire for this game. Before I thought that it was just going to be a giant tech demo with no depth, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the presence of story plot elements.

If they ported it to PC, I'd buy it in a heartbeat regardless of my lack of gaming time throughout the week. You have to support games which deliver that extra notch.
