The Force Unleashed II E3 Trailer June 14, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
I considered Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to be a major release of the Star Wars canon, but there were definatly problems with it gameplay wise.
You also have to take into account just how final the ending of that game was, since in the good ending of the game, the protagonist dies, and in the bad ending of the game, he does things that invalidate the Star Wars canon, like kill Darth Vader.
Well this CGI rendered preview trailer should answer a few questions to what the story is going to be, and how the main character could return.
The Force Unleashed II is expected to release multiplatform October 26th, 2010.
Flash 10.1 Released, now HD YouTube Videos Won’t Run Like Flipbooks June 14, 2010

From the “two years late” department, Adobe has finally gotten around to taking Flash 10.1 out of beta and put it in the hands of everyone who goes to their site to upgrade their old versions of Flash 10, or since most people don’t know about that sort of thing, probably versions of Flash 8 or 9 (anyone with versions older than that have probably had their computers die on them by now).
The important extra feature about this release, GPU rendering. That’s right, something that video players have had since 2003, making rendering HD video since then on mid range and high range PC’s extremely seamless and beautiful. Well, even though flash has supported HD video for a few years on sites like YouTube and Gametrailers, you’d probably notice that the videos in HD would usually run like crap, because until yesterday flash was CPU rendering only, which in this modern time is equivelant to having your software stuck in 1998.
So you’ll probably notice an increase of performance on our YouTube embeds if you upgrade. You’ll probably also notice you won’t have to cut the Gametrailers feeds to download the video instead, because their streaming videos (since they forced flash playback) have been unwatchable.

The greatest gaming event of the world, I know because I attended two of them, is starting today for the next few days! The games! The spectacle! The Electronic Entertainment Expo!
Feel free to expect tons of gaming information over the next few days. Major announcements are BOUND to be coming out. I’m already looking forward to seeing previews for Dead Space 2, Mortal Kombat 8, F.E.A.R. 3, and that’s just what has been officially announced. Also expect Sony and Microsoft to display their motion control systems.
Unfortunatly the Dear Playstation video I submitted to Sony didn’t get this site into E3. However, I fully plan to submit a formal application for entrance next year, using this site as my credentials. Next year, guys, next year.
