Footage of canceled Darth Maul game appears online - Polidicks

[QUOTE=cqbcat;44499401]Star Wars is so sad when it comes to gaming. There are some good Star Wars games, but the fact is that there aren't enough games. You would think with the mega popularity of Star Wars, we'd be getting more games, but that isn't really the case. Where's our Storm Trooper third person shooter? [b]Our Boba Fett action/adventure game with mild RPG elements?[/b] Where's our huge open world Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3 clone where you can fly spacecraft, visit Jabba the Hutt's place, and shoot Greedo first?[/QUOTE] This did actually happen back on the PS2 but with Jango Fett [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cc/Star_Wars_Bounty_Hunter_PS2.JPG[/img] Was pretty fun, you could shoot at two different enemies at once with your two pistols whist jetpacking arond

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to make the Deathwatch the antagonists. They don't have the numbers. If I recall correctly, they sided with the CIS for a bit. I could see the Deathwatch being the antagonists for a mission or two, but the main antagonists would most likely be the Republic or the Black Sun syndicate.

Never found a copy to buy...

Good, that FOV looks like it would make me sick [sp]I'm kidding what the fuck George Lucas what the hell is your deal[/sp]

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;44499171]It looks nice but goddamn I wish I had a SW game where you can cut stuff with the lightsaber, instead of it going through enemies like it's not even there and doing no visible damage[/QUOTE] You'd think most people would just be like "yeah, nah. I'm outta here." When Sith/Jedi show up and start murdering people left and right.

Force Unleashed Darth Maul Skin DLC $4.99

Damn those are some pecs

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;44498511]Galen and the Force Unleashed felt like reading a bad fanfiction. The second one was even worse because it literally broke canon.[/QUOTE] Entire series breaks canon and logic completely. If a jedi/sith of his level were to actually exist the entire galaxy would be on his ass 24/7. Anyone remotely force sensitive would feel his presence if he even stepped on the same planet as them. The game was fun but the canon-breaking and bad story are undeniably foolish. Also the fact that if Vader/The Emperor didn't have plot armor he would have wasted them instantly which is probably the biggest flaw of the entire series.

[QUOTE=J!NX;44498146]Star Wars seems to disappoint a lot of people it's like having sex... that is super hyped up and awesome and just when going really good, it stops like, right before the orgasm, but you can't even fap so it's just a feeling of anguish and disapointment[/QUOTE] Wow, i really took more out of that then i should have.

[QUOTE=Sungrazer;44503052]Force Unleashed Darth Maul Skin DLC $4.99[/QUOTE] You could actually unlock him as a skin in The Force Unleashed I. No double-bladed lightsaber or different voice though. And I think in TFU II, there was a DLC skin called "Maulkiller" and the description states it was something along the lines of an effort to combine Starkiller's and Maul's DNA to make the perfect humanoid war machine or something.

[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;44503227]an effort to combine Starkiller's and Maul's DNA to make the perfect humanoid war machine or something.[/QUOTE] I haven't played any of those games, but I believe that 'bad fanfiction' thing wholeheartedly.

[QUOTE=J!NX;44498118]only good part of the prequals there seems to be a rather disappointing number of cancelled games about star wars Starburst764118 minutes ago Lucas is like, the center of everything when it comes to "why star wars is bad" star wars has potential but it's been shit on too many times to count. Every time something really cool happens to star wars Lucas walks up and goes "No it has to be this way" but it's a super bad idea, and the entire thing is ruined because of him.[/QUOTE] And this is why Lucas has been completely removed from the decision-making process by Walt Disney's frozen head.

[QUOTE=Krinkels;44503263]I haven't played any of those games, but I believe that 'bad fanfiction' thing wholeheartedly.[/QUOTE] It wasn't a major plot point, just a sentence-long reference in the skin's description. As far as I know, it hasn't been referenced at any other time or in any other Star Wars medium. [editline]9th April 2014[/editline] The Force Unleashed really wasn't that bad. It shows that Darth Vader was always secretly plotting to overpower Emperor Palpatine (which would therefore inadvertently fulfill the prophecy) and goes into detail how the Rebel Alliance was formed. The second game really wasn't as good as the first, but here's hoping they make a third game to wrap up the gigantic cliffhanger that's been left untouched for about two years now.

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;44499171]It looks nice but goddamn I wish I had a SW game where you can cut stuff with the lightsaber, instead of it going through enemies like it's not even there and doing no visible damage[/QUOTE] This one had that: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/Jabox.jpg[/img] Your enemies would get burns, lose limbs, and sometimes they would even run like hell before you even attacked them.

Should do a force pull pacifist run.

[QUOTE=Dvorak231;44499669] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cc/Star_Wars_Bounty_Hunter_PS2.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE] This game is the reason i was legitimately sad when jango died.

TFU had it's moments but other than that it wasn't anything to write home about. I did like the AU missions with starkiller replacing vader though. At least those played out logically. Nigh unstoppable force juggernaut replaces vader? Everyone dies, the end. Still play 2 occasionally. As for the maul game, I can honestly say it won't be missed.

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;44503749]Not that it makes it any better, but that was explained.[/QUOTE] It's annoying how he only appears in the alternate ending, and I'm sure his existence is put somewhere in the background text hidden in the menu; but his very existence renders the premise pointless. So you're left with two endings: one that breaks the Star Wars movie canon and the other which completely defeats the purpose of the plot.

this game has a lot of potential if they brought it back..

The fact that some nameless, faceless, emotionless character created exactly for the IP apparently played the key and central role in forming the Rebel Alliance just cheapens the Original Trilogy somewhat for me. It's as though Lucas wasn't content with just making the prequels shitty, he had to go and shit on the originals. I am not even really a fan of Star Wars, but the massive amounts of wasted potential still make me angry. I never understood why there are so few good Star Wars games. I can name Battlefront and Republic Commando off the top of my head (I was too young and didn't own a PC, so things like the Jedi Knight series never came my way) but there is a much larger pool of things to draw from. Star Wars is humongous and expansive, with a lot of expanded universe material (granted a lot of it is canonically dubious, even ranking down to bad fanfic, but all things considered if the prequels are considered canon then I guess anything goes). I could think of 20 different good ideas for Star Wars games, and the fanbase is all there. Believe me, never before have I witnessed such a large and ravenous fanbase as Star Wars. Not only that, but it is a fanbase desperately seeking any ounce of good content they can, as Star Wars resembles a cesspool with a few bits of gold floating in it by this point. And fuck George Lucas. I don't know what kind of person he is, but he really should have learned when to quit. The Original Trilogy was really only good because there were people around who would slap his hands away from the typewriter when they felt he was fucking up. With the prequels, everybody was too afraid to do so. He just isn't very talented at movie making, despite what he wishes. It took the butchering of his two only good series, Star Wars and Indiana Jones, to figure that out. And the worst part is that he [I]does[/I] have good ideas. I like the [I]idea[/I] of a movie about Anakin's fall to the Dark Side and his becoming Lord Vader, but the execution was just bad. Like I said, I am not even a fan but I could go on for hours like this. I don't like watching series get fucked over, even if they don't have much personal value to me. Let us hope Abrams can restore some credibility and respect to the franchise.

People forget Star Wars Galaxies Pre-CU and it makes me sad. The emu lives! [url]http://www.swgemu.com/forums/index.php[/url] Admittedly it's not what it once was, but goddamnit if it wasn't cool to hear about when someone reached Jedi status when Jedi were first out. They had to max out every goddamned stat, do virtually every quest, it made them legends. Then they fucked it up.

I had TFU on the Wii, thought it was pretty good fun as long as you ignored the story (mainly because you could max out force choke; there's something about lifting clones with the Wiimote and then snapping it back to break their necks that was super satisfying, I swear >50% of my kills were done that way)

They're also a pretty big threat compared to Stormtroopers.

I don't know how much of it was changed though.

[QUOTE=woolio1;44508558]All hail Walt Disney's Frozen Head! (Seriously, though, the Walt Disney Company owning the franchise is probably the best thing that could happen to it at this point.)[/QUOTE] And Disney is honestly already off to a good start with Star Wars. If you haven't noticed, Disney has really been pushing the original trilogy and trying their best to forget the prequels. Everything they've been doing lately has been about Darth Vader, stormtroopers, Luke, and such. Disney knows that at every Star Wars convention, 90% of the people there love Star Wars because of the original trilogy, and thus are shifting Star Wars back to it. [editline]10th April 2014[/editline] Disney even made an F2P X-Wings vs TIE Fighter game, which should already say a lot about their intentions.

I can't stand lightsaber combat where the lightsaber doesn't cut opponents on impact. To this day, Jedi Knight 2 has been the only game to get lightsabers right.

I'd play a Star Wars game that uses the Revengeance formula otherwise the footage looks like another Force Unleashed AKA another blunder.
