The Force Unleashed: Touchy-Feely Edition
New details have been revealed concerning the Nintendo DS version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
As reported by Nintendic.com
N-Space has plumped for a traditional control method, where players use the D-Pad to manoeuvre their character. However, combat will make use of the touch screen, taking care of light saber swings and other special moves. Defensive blocks will be made by pressing the L and R shoulder buttons.
Whereas the Wii version of Force Unleashed will likely feature real audio dialogue and 3D cut scenes, the DS build will replace them with animated 2D sequences. The game itself, however, will be represented in full 3D and played via a third person perspective.
Lastly, we learn that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Nintendo DS will include a multiplayer option for up to four players. Unfortunately, however, each player will be required to own a copy of the game to take part.
To be perfectly honest, the fact that Force Unleashed is to be released on every Next-gen console and handheld (including the N-Gage), scares me. I for one would prefer LucasArts to focus on creating a high quality product for just the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 (the two consoles with comparable capabilities), than work to tone down the graphics, rework and edit the story and cutscenes to release the game on more platforms. It just sends the message that LucasArts cares more about profit than quality, and that ruins games for everyone.
