Vanity Fair Q&A Unleashed…

Yesterday, Lucasarts.com gave us a link to a great article released by Vanityfair.com. Today they’ve posted a little insight on what the editor Frank DiGiacomo was thinking about. I’ve also dug up the exclusive Force Unleashed gameplay video from Vanityfair.

“I’m not really sure of the genesis for the article — my editor, Bruce Handy, might have been at Lucasfilm for something else — but I know he sat down and talked to some of the LucasArts people about their plans for the game. When he heard about it, he thought of me. We both have sons, and whenever he and I have lunch, we tend to talk about what we do with our sons. I tended to talk about video games I’d play with my boy, and I guess he thought this would be a good assignment for me. And I’m totally psyched I got to do it.

When they showed me the Euphoria and the DMM “sandbox” presentations, to watch a stormtrooper try to keep his balance on a surface that was tilting and rolling was, to me, amazing. In playing games, you could see that the development is happening fast and furious as things are going, but I had never seen anything close to that. They would drop the stormtroopers, using the Force, in different ways, and the uniqueness with which he reacted every time… I found it to be mindblowing.

The DMM as well — it was so cool to see things break the way you expect them break. When I play that is one of the things that throws me out of the game: when a door kind of cracks like, I think I wrote in the piece “like a jigsaw puzzle,” it comes apart in these large clunky pieces.

I can’t wait to play The Force Unleashed, and I can’t wait to punt a Jawa. It’s one of the things I’m most looking forward to.

I hear ya buddy! I can’t wait to punt a Jawa too!! haha.. sweet. Below is the video of the exclusive video gameplay, enjoy!
