Right so apparently Lucasart have decided that TFU deserved a sequel...

 

See the trailer here

As much as I would have preferred to see another game in the X Wing series (or better yet a sequel to TIE Fighter) I knew they were going to do a Force Unleashed 2 tonight. Spike TV audiences like big bang action titles. Hey, maybe this one might be better then the first and I might just get it....maybe.

Maybe this time he'll pull the Death Star from the sky with an unintuitive quick-time event.

 

That'll leave a moon and the Yuuzhan Vong for the third game.

I keep meaning to pick up the original, since it's like $14 now. It looks entertaining enough for that price, I enjoyed the demo.

i am waiting until they release that edition which comes with all of the downloadable content automatically in the game. Is that out yet? I am not sure I am lazy and want to get everyone at once and not piecemeal

It is, but I hear the PC port is pretty sucky.

So I guess this is a

prequel to the first game of some sorts? I mean the story, canon wise is that Starkiller dies at the end of the first one. Unless they start doing some goofy clone related story.

 

 

I would have rather have liked to see another Jedi Knight game with Kyle Katarn, with deadly saber combat and easy to use force powers, but that's just me.

 

EDIT: Just saw the trailer. Seems like my earlier guess is wrong.

I don't think so, Starkiller had two lightsabers that were blue, and the love interests voice was heard in the trailer.

I'm guessing Vader revived him again...

 

It could have been KotOR 3. Or another Jedi Knight game. Even Rogue Squadron or Battlefront. Tie Fighter. X-Wing. Heck, at the very worst Republic Commando 2.

 

I hate you Lucas Arts. I hate you so much.

Too bad the PC version sucks. I would have thought by having access to a keyboard, you could pull of force moves a bit easier. I always felt like I had to press too many buttons to do anything cool in the console versions of the game.

Well done LucasArts! To be able to choose the most boring option is somekind of achievement.

 

*Achievement unlocked*

I'm not sure how Rogue Squadron or Battlefront would be preferable to TFU, those were pretty mediocre properties. I'll agree on the others, although there is another KotOR coming, it just isn't the one you want

While I did enjoy Rogue Squadron (though not the last one) and the second Battlefront game I agree that they weren't the best titles that Lucas Arts pumped out. Rogue Squadron was basically a replacement for the X Wing series to bring the twitch crowd in while tossing out the simulation crowd. I really miss the good old X Wing series and would give a lot to play a new one. The only ones my computer will still play are X Wing alliance and X Wing vs TIE Fighter. I wish I could get TIE Fighter to work but it is too old and I have no idea how to get DOS Box to work, i am not very computer savvy and it scares me

 

As for the Force Unleashed 2, I hope they can take what was bad about the first game and enhance it for the sequel, I might think about getting it then. Better level design, and most importantly, make the lightsaber not suck. I mean I shouldn't have to hit a Stormtrooper 8 times with a lightsaber before he dies, their armor aren't that good.

I don't expect an amazing story out of a hack and slash game but something that doesn't spit upon the established lore too would be nice. However considering what Lucas has been doing for a while now that seems too much to ask for.

They can start by naming it right then. "The Lightning Unleashed" With even more force lightning variations this time! You can even use "Lighning Push" and "Lighning Pull" and most importantly "Force Lightning Jump" this time. It also has

titties

. so I guess it only lacks the

shuriken

part. (and

being on fire

...)

 

I am soo excited about this new lightning show, I mean game...

The trailer reminds me a lot of Infamous. Too much, in fact.

I tried the demo and found the controls a bit clunky and awkward. Coupled with the fairly bad reviews it got I didn't bother. Surprisingly I've heard it is one of, if not THE best selling Star Wars game ever.

Too bad LucasArts canned just about everyone who did the first Force Unleashed.

Maybe that's a good thing? I tried the original and was not impressed - the mechanics were fairly good and a great game could be crafted around them, if some of the arcade'ish elements are weeded out.

Rosj has the right idea, the game's basics were very well done, but when they started building on that it just started to fall apart. Also I'm willing to bet LA has learned from the paddling session that they got from critics and have changed how it works.

Republic Commando 2 dammit! >.<

i just want a new TIE Fighter game
