Starkiller? Oh dear. Seriously, how freaking lame is that name anyways? Darth Starkiller?

At least he's not console exclusive - Starkiller will be on PS3 and 360

Looks great, will defo be getting this.

The box art for SCIV has been released. CVG has it up just now.

The PS3 version is black and red with Vader on it, while the Xbox 360 version is white and blue with Yoda.

They really are going into the Star Wars thing in a big way.

Star Wars is icing on the cake. I’d be buying this anyway.

Pure marketing innit?
To sell an SC sequel to SC fans they just need to post shiny screenshots.
To get new players find a hook and milk it.

He’s right, y’know. I just remembered I had some Amazon vouchers kicking around the bottom of my email inbox, so I pre-ordered a copy.

There’s a full character listing here. Click the names for pictures.

There’s a short promo video on the Inside Xbox Live service this week. Basically some footage of the game’s producer talking it up at a trade show, with a translated voice-over and some gameplay footage.

He makes quite a lot of the character customisation side of it and his hope that, combined with online Vs. play, it will provide more longevity than previous instalments. He also said something about future downloadable content, so expect micropayments for new characters somewhere along the line.

Please don't tell me "Starkiller" is the secret apprentice from the new SW game? That's so lame. I also think that the SW characters and especially the manga characters, look well out of place. Still, I will be buying this.

Yes, it is.

Current rumour: Kratos (from the God of War series) may be joining the PS3 exclusive cast, though I'm just smelling "big rumour" at the moment.

Hammer · 25th June 2008, 10:38am

Starkiller probably won't be his name in Forces Unleashed. According to the PR blurb, the Apprentice is going to be customisable and have selectable genders, so I imagine you'll be able to input your own name as well.

There is a rumour going round that Kratos of God of War fame is a playable character as well. Not sure if that would be in both versions, of if Master Chief would show up instead on the Xbox version.

God damm you Jeff.

Kratos Vs Cervantes?

Hmm.

Yeah, but I can't really think of any characters equivalent to Kratos on the Xbox that would be using a sword other then Master Chief and he didn't even use a real sword.
