Here’s an oldie but goodie for you! This video from The Gaming Library from back in 2017 has all the cutscenes of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. There’s an explanation below of what it is and why they did it. And then you can get right to the video if you’ve never seen it for yourself. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force to epic proportions. Players are cast into the role of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, Starkiller, who has been trained to hunt down and destroy Jedi. During his quest, Starkiller will ally himself with a most unlikely set of heroes and be forced to make decisions that could change the course of his destiny and set events in motion that will forever shape the galaxy! This is a cutscene only video with no gameplay. We know some people don’t care about…

Will Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Answer the Call of Gamers?
The gaming industry for the past decade has been primarily centered around multiplayer-focused titles. As with most industries – times change. For years now, gamers have been making calls for developers to create more single-player, story-driven experiences rather than churning out online multiplayer titles year after year. Those calls have mostly fallen upon deaf ears, however. Why? Well, mostly because multiplayer games rake in huge money and keep player bases active for longer. Nevertheless, some developers are finally starting to see that narrative-heavy, non-multiplayer pieces have a good market as well. Respawn Interactive is delivering one in particular soon that has gamers hyped-up big time – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Fallen Order is set a few years beyond Revenge of the Sith. The protagonist, Cal Kestis, is a previous Padawan currently on the run from the Empire after Order 66 was enacted. With the powers-that-be of the Dark Side…
Why Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Won’t Allow Dismemberment Too Often
Despite the fact that every true Star Wars fan knows and respects the limb-slicing capabilities of a lightsaber – we really haven’t seen much of it in the franchise’s video games. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order isn’t going to break the cycle either, says Aaron Contreras, the narrative lead at Respawn Entertainment. While the developers recognize that players would love to have the ability to chop off arms and other body parts – Respawn states that they prefer to save this gruesome display of power for pivotal moments in the story itself. A sentiment that they believe follows the same climatic experiences of the Star Wars movies. Star Wars games have, for the most part, been pretty conservative when it comes to gore and extreme violence. A few key moments in campaigns feature some brutal lightsaber action, but not much else. There have been titles where the gore levels were…
Why EA Shifted to Single-Player with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade it’s probably challenging to understand how Electronic Arts (EA), a company that seems to know nothing but multiplayer titles and bad press, has made the decision to publish a game the likes of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. A single-player experience with no opportunities for season passes or loot boxes? Something seems off. That is EA’s modus operandi, after all. How did EA of all companies wind up making the decision to shift to a single-player, campaign-driven title? To be fair, they do have a few titles with great stories behind them. This still is, however, the company that has produced a couple Star Wars games already that have practically ZERO narrative and are solely focused on multiplayer (yes, we’re referring to the Battlefront games). Nevertheless, here we are – with Electronic Arts being the publisher putting out Star…
EA Games and EA Access Coming to Steam with Launch of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
In a bit of a surprise announcement, Electronic Arts recently stated that all of the publisher’s games and it’s EA Access subscription service will be making an appearance on Steam. It all begins with the launch of the long-awaited Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which is slated to release on November 15th, 2019. In the months following the release of Fallen Order more and more of EA’s titles will be added to Steam. It’ll be a slow and steady process, but, eventually, even the likes of mega-hits such as Apex Legends and Battlefield 5 will be available for download via Steam’s service. In addition to individual games being added we’ll also see EA Access made available via Steam. This is currently tentatively set to start sometime in the Spring of 2020. EA Access is a subscription service that gives players the ability to play a plethora of titles for one,…
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Developer Interview Digs Into Decision of Going the Single-Player Route
A single-player, narrative-based Star Wars title has been a rarity in the gaming industry for the better part of 10 years now. The last true story-drive game within the franchise prior to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II which made its debut in 2008. The announcement of a new single-player title in the Star Wars universe was a surprise on its own. Combine that with the fact that it’s being published by none other than EA and you’d probably think the news were a farce had we not gotten a concrete launch date, trailers, and more at this point. Electronic Arts isn’t exactly known for having a great public image with gamers these days. Plus, they’re notorious for putting out nothing but multiplayer titles riddled with microtransactions (up until Battlefront 2, at least). So, what made EA of all publishers decide to take up…
Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes Event Calendar – November 2019
Here is a list of some of the upcoming events in Star Wars: Galaxy if Heroes for November 2019. As allways you have to remember that all dates are subject to change. DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Daily Login Character for November: Royal Guard Royal guard? thats weird in the middle of the transition from Episode 2-3 content to 8-9…. some event related with the emperors shuttle maybe? They had Emperor’s shuttle in the $20 pack they had in the store the last day or two. I’m not sure what kind of an event would require palps shuttle though… at least, not with the current content roll they’re on (as you acknowledged). I do anticipate a sith capital ship helmed by malak or nihlius to drop at some point, but… with kenobi just hitting the arena now and malevolence presumably on the way, that sounds weird to me. Anyways. Here it…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Interview Sheds Light on Game’s Dark Origins
In an interview with STACK, Respawn Entertainment’s narrative lead, Aaron Contreras provided further details about the backstory behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, gameplay info, and more. Why Fallen Order is Set Shortly After Revenge of the Sith When asked about the timeline of the game, Contreras stated that the Respawn team decided to roll with a period just a few years past Revenge of the Sith because they found it to be one of the most intriguing ages in the Star Wars franchise. Aaron went on to say that due to the Empire having immense power throughout the galaxy during this time and Order 66 being in place, this period paved the way for a story based on an emerging hero – one that has to stay off the Empire’s radar and fighting to flee persecution. Why Force Players to Utilize a Specific Character? Aaron also shed a little…

The guys over at Capital Games has posted a new developer insight. This time they are talking with the designers of General Skywalker and how they went about creating this iconic character from the Star Wars universe. Check i out Q: What makes General Skywalker special? Does he have any unique mechanics?CG_Prophet: Absolutely, Anakin Skywalker has been many things over the years; pod racer, droid builder, Jedi Padawan and even a legendary pilot, and now he’s coming to Galaxy of Heroes this week as General of the 501st! I’m super excited for him to finally come to the game. CG_ParkingInstructor: General Skywalker is unlike any other character players can get their hands in the game right now. He is an absolute boss, as he should be, and by that I mean he actually feels like playing a raid boss character in Galaxy of Heroes. He takes 2 actions per turn (like a raid boss)…

A few days ago, Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment shared a new trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order comming this fall.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – Can We Trust EA?
Normally speaking, when there’s a brand new Star Wars game on the horizon, it’s a time of great excitement for all of us. As much as we all love (and will continue to love) Star Wars: The Old Republic, it never hurts to have another game or two to play. As we already know, the final few months of this year will bring us Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. They’ll also bring us the Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker movie, which is just as exciting, but we focus on games on this website. We’ll leave the movie hype to somebody else! Everything we’ve seen about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks fantastic. The graphics look great. The promises we’ve been made about gameplay sound outstanding. We have every reason to be placing pre-orders already – but why are so many of us reluctant to do so? The answer might…
5 Unreal Engine Star Wars Fan Games
You know we love fan-created Star Wars stuff here. While some of it is very amateur, honestly, it’s all a lot of fun. Maybe that’s because only true Star Wars fans can appreciate it. The Retro Gaming Magazine has five great Unreal Engine Star Wars fan games you are going to want to hurry and check out before they get shut down by Disney/LucasArts. On the list? Star Wars Dark Forces Star Wars Dark Forces 2 Star Wars Rogue Squadron Star Wars Episode 1 Racer Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (already shut down, sadly) This one was a real heartbreaker because we (and many of you) were big KOTOR fans. I was so excited to tell you about this project and then LucasArts came along and gave it the ax. Are there any Unreal Engine remakes or fan games you’d add to the list? Let us know about…

Mark has been working in the gaming industry for many years and brings his expertise as a veteran producer to Capital Games. He’s not a new face around the studio as he was previously working on Capital Games’ next project. Here is an inteview: You recently became the Senior Producer for SWGOH, tell us a bit about yourself!MD – Well, that’s a big question. I’m a gaming industry veteran and earned my first video game paycheck back in 1987. That was actually working as an independent developer on a science fiction role playing game (Hard Nova) that was published by EA. Since then, I’ve worked for a number of video game companies including 3DO, LucasArts, & Telltale. It may sound like a cliche, but I am extremely passionate about video games – both developing &…

They’ve made games on all your favorite famous IPs and franchises and it has been a long, glorious ride. While Lego has made their presence in video games before this, but it was the release of 2005 Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that really launched the Lego game fad.
