The Xbox One release of The Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed was released on the Xbox One on October 28, 2017. It was originally released on the Xbox 360 on September 16, 2008. The Force Unleashed is an action-adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. The game follows the story of Starkiller, a secret apprentice of Darth Vader.
The game’s features
The game features a unique morality system called The Force Unleashed morality system, which allows the player to make choices during the course of the game, which will affect the ending. The player can also use The Force to influence the people around them, either for good or for evil. The game also features a new combat system called “FreeForm Fighting,” which allows the player to move freely around the environment and use a variety of different moves and combos to defeat enemies.
The game’s graphics
The game’s graphics were enhanced for the Xbox One release, and the game runs at 1080p on the Xbox One. The frame rate is also improved from the original release.
The gameplay of The Force Unleashed
The gameplay of The Force Unleashed is based on a third-person perspective where the player’s character can move freely around the environment and fight the enemies. The game’s fighting system is similar to that of the Jedi Knight series where the player has a lightsaber and can use the Force to defeat the enemies.
The game’s mechanics
The game’s mechanics were heavily inspired by those of the God of War series. Force powers are assigned to the face buttons of the controller, while your lightsaber is handled with the right analogue stick. As you progress through the game you’ll earnforce points, which can be used to upgrade your powers.
There are also a number of quick time events (QTEs) throughout the game. These usually involve pressing a button at the right time to deliver a finishing blow to an enemy, or to avoid taking damage yourself.
The game’s combat
The game’s combat was designed to be accessible to new and casual players, while remaining deep enough for more experienced players. The controls are similar to those of other contemporary action games. The player character’s health and Force power recharge over time, unless the player is taking damage or actively using Force powers; at which point, they progressively drain. When the player character’s health reaches zero, or if they fall off a bottomless pit, they die and must restart from the last checkpoint save. When the player character runs out of Force power, they can no longer use abilities and must wait for it to recharge.[12] In addition to lightsabers and Force powers, Starkiller can utilize various blasters and throwable objects throughout the game.
The Wii version introduces Wii MotionPlus support, allowing players to use gestures to control lightsaber swings, rather than pressing buttons on the Wii Remote. The amount of gesture-based moves is limited in comparison to button presses on other platforms.[13] GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.
The PlayStation 3 version features Trophies in addition to the usual Achievement system featured on Xbox 360; however, it does not feature cross-platform play with Xbox 360.[14]
