Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – 3 developer interview videos

A ton of info – enough to make an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer crash into a planet of small, furry animals – is coming for you in this series of developer interview videos concerning Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. We get you the lowdown on what’s to expect from the highly-anticipated title that promises to give players the ultimate Jedi experience.

The first two videos are two halves of a panel interview, with the host drilling the big personalities behind the game about what sort of game it’s actually going to be, the platforms it’s going to come out on, what’s the deal with lightsaber nightsticks – that sort of thing.

One big question that popped up during the second half is about the game’s multiplayer capabilities, specifically if it was going to have one or not. Unfortunately, the interviewees were a tad bit snippy with answering that, but the good news is that they didn’t shoot it down completely.

The third video is a one-on-one interview with the Project Lead of the whole game, Haden Blackman, and in it we learn just what they’ve done with the force for the game to stand out and merit the “Unleashed” title. While Kyle Katarn of the Jedi Outcast games used the Force more as a tool to get through obstacles, the main character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed wields the Force pretty much like one would wield a nuke: total domination and destruction of your opponents.

When asked once more about the game’s multiplayer capabilities, Haden went ahead and confirmed the multiplayer aspect of the game – so good news for those of us wondering if we’ll be able to tear it up online with the Force. And with the in-game visuals (if the gameplay bits are anything to go by) looking sharp and sweet as they are, the game’s Spring 2008 release date can’t come any sooner.

Updates as we get them! In the meantime, enjoy the videos.
