Prime Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sorry if this is old news... No 'Force Unleashed' Multiplayer on PS3/360 "To be specific, there's no multiplayer in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, because there is on the Wii, PSP, and DS. As far as specific reasons are concerned, we don't really like to get into the reasons why we don't do things because I don't think there's really a satisfactory answer that people would really be happy with. So, there isn't multiplayer and that's kind of how it is..." And the game is supposed to be short, at that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleman794 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 That is why I am getting TFU for Wii! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I still think overall gameplay will be the best on the PS3/360 versions, but it looks like Wii is shaping up to be the real deal version of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I personally could care less about multiplayer unless it was Battlefront III are some other Star Wars shooter, I must play this amazing story!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLADE11 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 So dissapointed, isnt it even enough that the Wii has 5 extra levels, giving us the multiplayer wont stop people from buying it on the Wii or make people not buy it for 360 or PS3. They really need to put it in so many characters for the Wii. you guys know this would be cool, Cmon Put this on the PS3 n 360 versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 meh, star wars multiplayer on consoles was never that great anyway. KotOR and KotOR II didn't need multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Is that the Wii version? The graphics look...disappointing. meh, star wars multiplayer on consoles was never that great anyway. KotOR and KotOR II didn't need multiplayer.But the KOTOR series gave you more than 8 or so hours of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamqd Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I thinks it's gonna be awesome whether we get MP or not on PS3/360, but I think there (Hayden Blackman among others) are giving us to much hype to be honest... I mean statement's like "Your not gonna see the original trilogy in the same way after playing TFU" and "It's the next step in the Saga" are a bit of a stretch! Keep things in perspective Lucasarts! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It seems like whenever someone gets a chance to pop their head in on the development of this game and peel up a bit of info to share with us I'm continuously horrified by what's dredged up. I'm not declaring outright that it will be this way but I think we should all prepare ourselves for this game landing stillborn in our laps.

Jeff Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well adamqd while I do kind of agree this game is getting a ton of hype for all the let-downs we've heard of so far (no PC, no multiplayer, etc) it really is the next big thing in Star Wars, since this all has the approval of George Lucas. The story is supposed to be G-cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerty Uiop Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I don't get it. Why should Microsoft and Sony be punished for having a more powerful system, and why should 360 and PS3 owners be punished for buying that system? So far 360 and PS3 owners have had 5 levels and MP taken due to having a powerful system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Think of it this way: Why do they feel they owe the Wii owners five extra levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case this game could turn out to be Star Wars' Enter the Matrix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 KotOR and KotOR II didn't need multiplayer. Yeah. Mind you, they were RPGs. And they don't really need multiplayer. And The Force Unleashed is not an RPG. Despite the disappointment, I'll end up buying it for 360 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thank God it really doesn't affect me. Hopefully the gameplay on the PS2 will be acceptable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpanicy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I am on the verge now. I love Star Wars, but Lucas Arts has been leading us along with a rope for a while now. This game may have an amazing story, but at the same time it will probably be lacking in every conceivable way. Thats just what Star Wars games (with the exception of Kotor 1 and 2, and all the X-Wing and Tie Fighter's) do. They offer so much, and tell you how amazing its going to be and then at the last second rip it all away. The fact that all the Jedi Knight games had multiplayer truly saved them. The story was mediocre to alright at best. This would have been alot better off with some kind of multiplayer. NOT a duel mode... a MULTIplayer. I despise duel mode, something like that will not make me buy two copies, nor will it make me rent the weaker Wii version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLADE11 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 duel mode wouldnt be a hard addition seeing as there having it on the wii, multyplayer would be alott more of a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpanicy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 That may be. But its hard to find the fun in duel mode. Especially since it doesn't ship with fun, and no amount of DLC could make a duel mode fun. So I don't see why anyone with a Wii is even excited to get a duel mode. The only thing I have found that duel modes do is breed resentment in the duelers. Especially if the one guy plays it all the time and is better, cause then its lopsided and one person loses all the time. There is no fun there. Duel modes suck plain and simple. I could see if this was a fighting game that having a duel mode would make sense. But this isn't a fighting game. They shouldn't have wasted their time and energy on a duel mode. No game should offer less then 4 person multiplayer. Why are we regressing when the technology that powers such things are becoming more powerful. People like multiplayer, give us multiplayer.

Jeff Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think you take your games too seriously if you end up resenting someone because you lose... And also, what does it matter whether this is a fighting game or not? What kind of game it is shouldn't make a difference for whether duel mode will be fun or not.
