Soul Callibur 4 demo is out. Its such a tease. You play a few fights then you get to face off against Yoda. It loads the level. They do their speeches. Yoda stands up, lightsaber turns on and the demo ends. So so annoying.

Was going to download that.

Played Force Unleashed last night and really enjoed it. Presumably one of the options to upgrade will be the ability to rebound laser shots, because I couldn't find a way to do it, and only one in about twenty randomly ricocheted into a stormtrooper. I also took the walker down first go, but not before I'd already been knocked off the ledge twice by laser fire. Was quite annoying trying to pick things up to throw at it only to get hit by an onslaught of laser and drop it again, and again. Also I agree it doesn't really make sense that you can force push through steel doors and chuck entire Tie Fighters about, but can't knock a walker over. Hopefully the upgrades will add more to the game, but I'll definitely be getting it.

Did blocking not rebound the shots at storm troopers? I must have been lucky I took a couple out with I had a crack

I tried it but I literally only hit a couple in the whole demo. I'm sure in games like Jedi Academy you almost always sent the bolts back in the direction they came, so the only way the enemies didn't get hit was if they physically moved after/whilst shooting.

If you hold block you can deflect them. Occasionally you can deflect them with your hand, but thats just the odd one. It doesn't seem as fun as Jedi Knight where you can angle yourself to fire them back.

leowyatt · 23-08-2008, 11:54

Maybe that comes later on in the game.

Soul Calibre 4 is quite fun though pretty easy in story mode. Think it's a total of 6 stages to finish story mode, some of the stages are against multiple enemies (not at same time) but still pretty easy.
Most of the achievements are to be had in arcade mode and climbing the tower mode. You do get 1 achievement by watching the intro movie all the way through

Oh and you get Yoda as a starting character. And can unlock the Apprentice from Force Unleashed by finishing Arcade mode with Yoda.

You can case mod, and fit silent pc fans if you wish.
May take some hacking though.

I'll probably just muddle through because I don't want to open the case because the minute I do the damn thing will RROD and I'll then have to buy a new one
