Secret Apprentice - Secret Appearance? + 15 New Screenshots

[Darth Ledet]

This is pretty cool, The Force Unleashed Secret Apprentice will be making a not so secret appearance in the upcoming Soulcalibur IV for the PS3 and the upcoming Xbox360. I knew that Yoda and Darth Vader were making an appearance in the game but I had no idea that they would be throwing in the Secret Apprentice, which is pretty cool. The game is set to debut on July 29th, 2008.

In addition to this post, 15 new screenshots for the PS3 have been made available. Check them out at the end of the post.

From IGN.com:

“We are honored to be debuting Lord Vader’s Secret Apprentice in Soulcalibur IV,” said Todd Thorson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Namco Bandai Games America. “The Secret Apprentice adds to the depth and excitement the Soulcalibur franchise is known to deliver; proving to be another formidable opponent in the quest to obtain the mighty Soul swords.”

“The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soulcalibur, a franchise known for its over-the-top characters and frenzied fighting action,” said Haden Blackman, project lead for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at LucasArts. “We’re extremely proud to give fighting fans a sneak peek at one of the most intriguing new Star Wars videogame characters in a long time.”

Them pics look great, I've seen gameplay though, and it looked nothing like that.

I hope It's a great game, but I can't help but think It's going to be trash.

Same. I want it to be great, but from what I've seen I don't think it will do so good. It looks like some lame platformer action game.

I get the feeling that it's gonna be another average game too. But hopefully I'm wrong.

[Darth Terent]

Wow, I'm more dissapointed than ever every time I see a new vid of this game
