Which one should I get. I am thinking Yoda would be more fun than Vader because he can fly around more like in the movie. Whats your opinion?

IGN said Yoda felt broken because of his size. They also stated ps3 version looked more polished and quicker with the optional install.

I bought the 360 version and yoda is fun to play with. It just depends on who you think you'd like to play as more. Yoda is faster, Vader is more powerful... so it doesnt matter that much

I think you may have answered your own question in part. Im getting it for the PS3 as most of my friends are getting it for that as well.

I've heard it's a learning curve w/Vader. If you put in the time, he is bada**. Yoda looks cool because of the speed game.

Get the PS3 version because:

1) Optional install means that all load times are much faster

2) The PS3 controller is better suited for fighters since the D-Pad is better and placed closer than the Xbox controller. Analaog sticks aren't too good with fighters.

3) Darth Vader is much cooler than Yoda. Seriously.

not optional. i think ur referring to 360s fall update which gives us that feature. Im afraid PS3 gives you 0 options.

and rumors suggest that 360 gets vader as DLC.

No, it's optional for the PS3 too.

And Vader will be on 360, like Yoda will be on PS3.

Yes, The PS3 is.:roll:

Also, Rumors suggest DLC for both platforms, not that it matters, since according to IGN, Yoda may be broken (Which is what I thought was going to happen to BOTH SW characters actually.)

He's just trolling. He already knows that, but continues to post lies. I found an earlier thread where he found that out.

That's an understatement. Ghost's intentions are never more than merely to antagonize people. He offers no intelligent or thoughtful posts and is, by all accounts, a detraction from this community. I realize this is System Wars, but there is such a thing as friendly competition.

This is probably the only place he receives any kind of attention.

I am pretty sure that both versions are great of course. BUT! I just want to play Darth Vader, and I own a Xbox 360. We all thought that the Force Unleashed was going to be a Vader game, and now he's only playable in the prologue. I just want to cut people up with him and his red lightsaber in a game for once... ::cries::

Well I am just as confused as before.

Sounds like PS3 is better version from voices here and IGN but I will look for more reviews.

LOL....you are funny.

You always say that the required installs for the PS3 were wack. Everytime someone has something good to say about the PS3, the first thing that comes from your mouth is " repuired installs", and now you are pumping it up, but its not just you, it's pretty much all of the 360 only users.

With that being said, why would the PS3 user wait Yoda if Vader is the better one?

Eh, I'll probably get the 360 version. I checked my Live friends list a while ago on xbox.com and nearly everyone that was online was playing it.

I'll have to try out that dpad fix before taking it online or, if push comes to shove, I'll get one of the arcade sticks.

For some reason the 360s videos make it look slow. How is the 360 version? When i saw the PS3 videos it was very smooth, and i was bothered by that as i dont have a PS3, and if this were true i wouldnt be getting the 360 ver.

The PS3 version is more polished and has the fastest load times according to IGN. Additionally the lighting from various weapon strikes on the PS3 version features a bloom shader effect that is not on the Xbox 360 version. This can either make it look better, (or worse) depending on how you want your lighting to look. I also never noticed a framerate drop on the PS3 but the Xbox 360 will drop from 60 during shader intense fight sequences.

Buy whatever version you have the system for. If you have both systems, buy the PS3 version unless you REALLY want Yoda. I suspect both characters can be purchased later on for both systems after the inital "exclusive" period anyway.

I will probably end up getting the PS3 version.

Simply: better technicals, better D-Pad controls, and the Vader v Yoda issue.

Though I do have 3 360 controllers. Im not sure if there is 4 player tag in SC4... so if there is that might change my decision.
