    This is one of my favorite games of all time. I can't imagine doing it without motion controls it fits so well. Really immerses you in the experience and gets you into it. I wish more people talked about it.

      Yep, coming in April of this year. As far as I can tell, they're basically putting the HD textures and models from the X360/PS3 version into the levels from the Wii/PS2 version.

      I thought I was corny for only having a wii too, well and a PS2. Wii has made a huge comeback now with homebrew and modding. I got mine modded and it is awesome and play it all the time. Wish I could show my younger self how badass the wii is he would’ve played it as much as I do right now.

    Forced Unleashed on the Wii was one of the games I favored in my childhood, one thing I couldn’t do as a kid was trying to kill that damn bull rancor though. I forget how many years it was until I went back to playing the game, but I was pretty happy with the fact that I beat it after dying just a few times
    I might’ve also got the second game, but I never heard about it until the controllers my family had were starting to be faulty, especially the nunchucks since they kept force pushing when I didn’t want to, wasting my force meter. Not to mention that my parents were adamant on just having two nunchucks and four Wii remotes so all of us could play stuff together (which wasn’t really all that fun :/)

    Huh, Ive always wanted to know why people said the Wii version was the best one especially in a time where some WII/PS2 versions were a vastly different and inferior version of a PS3/360 game. Now after watching this, its insane how a lot of this game is different and even better in a lot of ways compared to the next gen version. Guess just finding out that the remaster is the Wii version (or that there was even a remaster coming for that matter) a few minutes ago and resparking my curiosity makes it the perfect time to experience it

  • @jf4132
    @jf4132 Год назад +9

    Something to correct you on is that the HD version of Force Unleashed is not a remaster. The past gen versions and the HD versions were being made roughly the same time as each other, both being released roughly around the same time as well. So this isn’t a case of a remake/remaster losing what made the original so good, more so just two different versions being made by two different people just taking two different paths

  • @ronaldmichaels3280

    My main issue with the Krome version (Wii) is probably the level design. It feels a lot more claustrophobic and repetitive with less destructible objects than the HD version, and the enemy variety is notably slimmer in Krome's version, with less enemy mixing as well.
    That said I still by and large prefer the Krome version, because the bosses are the complete opposite case where the Krome bosses are significantly better and the HD ones suck, there's a more interesting combo game, the HD version has some levels and setpieces that just suck, and the story's mostly better. Though I say mostly because it's actually supposed to be an earlier draft so there's some areas that aren't polished over yet like how Starkiller basically sends Kota into space after their fight whereas in HD by that point that part of the TIE factory was already brought down to Nar Shaddaa so Kota having survived that fall makes more sense. Admittedly a minor thing but still worth pointing out imo. I'd still say the more fleshed out Starkiller from Krome's version far outweighs that.
    I'd also like to bring up a few other aspects of the story in the Krome version's favor you didn't mention like how we actually see how Garm Bel Iblis was brought to the Rebel Alliance (iirc that wasn't really explained in any other Star Wars material), the color palette's better, Kota's militia and the stormtroopers are at war when you get to the TIE factory which makes more sense, and how it expand the lore with characters like Darth Desolus or Darth Phobos, also giving us some insight as to what the actual process of Jedi learning to manage their emotions in training is like

    Literally everything was better on the ps3 version. If they just added motion controls onto the ps3 port for the switch it would have been the definitive edition. But no, they chose to just go with the Wii version with crappier graphics, smaller environments, the lack of the euphoria physics engine, etc..

    • @capnplaidbeard
      @capnplaidbeard 2 года назад

      The Wii physically could not handle the PS3/360/PC version. No matter what, it wasn’t going to handle the same level of graphics on top of the physics and larger environments.
      Despite the shortcomings… I still have more fun with the inferior hardware, the gameplay and story makes up for the lower processing power in spades ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Plus the HD version (Xbox 360 Ps3 and PC) were ment to be accurate to the novelization which is a severly toned down in power galen marek as people at the time complained about him being overpowered to defeat vader at his prime.
    The Wii Ps2 and PSP versions (Imagine if it was an original xbox game.) felt more accurate to how the game was supposed to be.
    If the HD graphics were combined with the Ps2 gameplay then it woulda looked epic.
    The only plus about the HD version is the evil ending.

    lol, pretty cool vid. I like to get games on wii when they are really really well implemented controls, or when the wii controls or Nintendo quality control adds something to the experience. Best example is Resident evil 4, great version on wii, pretty awesome and clean execution, some would even say it's the definitive version to play.
    This seems pretty cool. It 's gonna go into the cool wii controls games. I'm going through Red Steel 2 now and it's nuts. Sin and punishment epic AF too, but I think it's only on wii anyways.
