JoeDoe 2.0 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I don't see where LA can make another kind of game like TFU fit in the SW time line (could be KOTOR era or older) but if they do, then hopefully it will have a nice story than sheds some answers to fan question or something along those lines
Lord Foley Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I agree it would be awesome to play as Mara Jade. If not, she must at least be in the sequel.

Darth Eclipse Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am not a Yank. I have no clue why you think I am. If you are talking about sports, I don't care for watching them.
Endorenna Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Meh...I'd prefer to have Mara Jade only in multiplayer. Hmm, maybe Jaina could join her...
LordOfTheFish Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I would like to see her in something other than MP. Maybe not as the main character but more or less like Juno.
SW01 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I'd like to see many of the EU characters in any multiplayer mode - particularly from the later eras, like Roan Fel and the Imperial Knights, or Darth Krayt and Darth Talon. I think a multiplayer, whether online or regular single console multiplayer, would be a welcome addition to the next-gen version. Given the backlash over the complete lack of one, I think the developers would be foolish to neglect to add one next time out. Mara Jade might be a good candidate for a character in a sequel - though as said, not a main one. Mainly because she has a storyline already. I'd prefer a totally original one.
Endorenna Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yea, that's the thing about Mara. If they were going to make a Yuzhaan Vong/Darth Caedus game, sure, but to get the full story, you'd have to keep switching from Luke to Mara to Leia to Jaina to Jacen to Anakin to...you get the idea. Maris Brood's story isn't written yet, so I still think she's the best candidate for TFU 2.
LordOfTheFish Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 EU characters in MP is a great idea. If only there was some assurance. The game has only been out for a little over a month, time will tell.
SW01 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I wouldn't count on a sequel for quite a while. LA's track record in that area isn't great (thinking of KotOR and TSL.) Maybe we'll get more in dlc, if the current one is successful.
MajinMikeyX Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Well, Mara Jade or Maris Brood weren't crazy force users...So I think Kyle Katarn could be a candidate or at least an unlockable skin. I think Luke would be good maybe for a story after ROTJ. Like TFU is Vader's "Dark Son"(Starkiller) and Luke is his son who is light. Idk, as long as it's NOT Maris, or Mara Jade. How would they be entertaining to play as anyways?....

For Mara Jade, the story would be like TFU, a dark side user that follows orders from a big baddie (palpatine) without leaving witnesses. I think both are good candidates for a TFU2.

I really like that idea you could have a videogame adaptation of the Tales of the Jedi comics and fight in the Great Sith War.
GwannaSauna Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Ooh! I know what the next game is gonna be! Your* gonna play as a very young Luke Skywalker, trying to trade w/ Jawas, defending the homestead from Tusken Raiders, and, well... doing what he did everyday between III and IV... unless TFU2 takes place after IV *Excuse the grammar
SW01 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 ^ I wouldn't put it past LucasArts...(remembers Super Bombad Racing and shudders) Who do you think we will start off working for? Presuming we start off directly after the events of TFU? Sith, Rebels or 'freelance'?
LordOfTheFish Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The next step in Lucas Arts games will probably dip into EU.
Henz Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 A Yank is an American. So yes you are - a very confusable yank.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 LordOfTheFish said: But why would you call that a TFU 2?It isn't the characters that make a TFU game. It can be just a game about bounty hunters bounty huntin', or bantha herders holding the line against tusken raiders, as long as the main character unleashes the Force with preposterous strenght and swings his melee weapon with an overly simplified combat system.

Hmm, I guess you're right but I would hope it would have something to do TFU.
Henz Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I see Brood as a likely candidate for a sequel, but I honestly can't fathom how a second game could have the impact or importance that they got with TFU. I think they did a really good job of creating a story that fits the continuity nicely whilst still feeling epic.

They probably won't get the same ground-breaking effect, but they can build on what they have by adding more features, more ambitious storylines, characters and powers, and make it longer now they know there is a market for it. Think of the difference between KotOR and TSL - both great games in their own right, but KotOR was the ground-breaker, the new thing. TSL took that base and built upon it, with slightly enhanced graphics more animations, items, etc, and would have had a greatly enhanced storyline had LA allowed Obsidian to finish it! Hopefully, LucasArts will do the same this time round, use the original as a base and build upon it, but maybe finish it thi time around!

I'd love them to achieve the story enhancements that came with TSL, but the time setting would surely be far more restrictive for TFU 2. There's very little space between the end of the first game and Episode IV, the key villains have already been used, and the lingering Jedi survivors have been slaughtered. We'll see though. I'm on board for another one, although I'd prefer KOTOR 3 if I was forced to choose.

Yeah - I would say it'll be: 1) as discussed, focused on Maris Brood; and 2) set just after her encounter with Galen on Felucia, or just after being sent away by Shaak Ti - maybe that will even be the prologue. And, of course as you say, the villains are already set. Pity, imo (cause we know exactly who they are and how they act, and thus we know who we will fight at the end.) Henz said: We'll see though.
