it is interesting that they pulled it. However I still think the initial "Pre-Vis" statement smells to me like it was a prerender. It is what they would like to "vis" if they could.

They pulled it because it was only supposed to be available to certain people at Comic-Con....that is what the little icon in the bottom right was for. This was all pre-rendered of how they want to use the force in next-gen titles.

they could always make it so that you use the force to shield yourself from force attacks and thus force the light saber duels... That tends to be a problem with the movies - other SW references (games/comics/cartoons/books) tend to show off extreme use of force powers and it almost makes you wonder about the movies (why aren't they using more force powers?)

For those of you who get G4tv the entire video was re-broadcast of Attack of the Show today Aug 1st. It was at the verry end.

I It was more or less the same thing without the begining fade in. They called it a "tech demo" which is different from the "pre-visualisation" that was at the begining of the YouTube video.

As is typical I would never trust anything G4 says.

Bittorent Attack of the Show. I'm sure it is out there somewhere. It was in the last 30 secs of tonights show.
