Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

^^

Notice that 12/31/10 is the last day of 2010,TFUII is to be released sometime in 2010. GameStop likes to list games that are actually TBA 2010 as 12/31/10, for some retarded reason.

[JediAthos]

didn't think about that, but according to them most of their ship dates come from the manufacturers.

[Boba Rhett]

Game store listed ship dates hold no bearing on reality, nor any plane of existence near and/or quantumly entangled to this reality.

So some new info is available on TFU2. Be warned that it contains spoilers - http://www.eucantina.net/archives/6396

 

Seems as if some of the speculation in this thread was correct:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Starkiller is indeed a clone in TFU2.

 

Lame, but I guess there were limited options.

I wub you deus ex machina

Oh my god... When a nerd forum speculation hits the bullseye the results can only be horrible.

IGN has a first look at TFU2 - http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1091551p1.html

 

Not a whole lot of new info, but it seems they are making an effort to reduce some of the tedium of the first game. I'm not sure that puzzle-solving would have been the top of my solution list though...

 

Warning - article contains some spoilers.

I have a first look from Power Unlimited lying in front of me...core business:

 

-2 Sabers, ALWAYS. Can't choose to use 1.

-He's not necessarily a

clone

. Vader says yes, Kota says no.

-Vader has tortured you to near-insanity...explains the visions in the CGI trailer.

-More variety. More platform jumping, DMM sensitive puzzles, no quick-time events.

-New Powers: Group Force Grip, Mind trick, Force Fury.

-Self-doubt is the central theme, which leads to the search for

Juno, who has all the answers?

Thank Christ for that. I hate that garbage.

QFT it was really annoying...

The E3 trailer is up - http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-the-force/101182

 

Of course as with all pre-rendered CG, it doesn't tell you squat about the actual game. Maybe if you could wreak that much havoc it would be worthy of the "unleashed" title, but it seems highly unlikely.

[JediAthos]

There's a small gameplay vid from IGN posted in the TFU board..its not HD or anything but it is gameplay.

^^^

yeh, and it looks exactly like the first TFU, except with 2 laser swords, show me something new dammit

Agreed.

[JediAthos]

I would imagine they're saving demoing the new force powers and what not for E3 this week.

[ZimmMaster]

This new trailer looks great, but as mentioned before by DarthParametric, it does not tell us squat about the game. So I think it is a real disapointment.

Some new info has been revealed at Comic Con. Perhaps the most notable thing is news of a familiar face showing up:

(the dialogue is strangely muted for some reason - you'll need to crank the volume)

 

There's also this dev interview:

Nothing really new there though.

 

And finally, an article over at the official SW site - http://starwars.com/games/videogames/tfu2_comic_con/index.html

Everyone's favourite little green friend makes an appearance:

Huh, to me Starkiller walked like he'd been kicked in the nuts.

[GeneralPloKoon]

I'm sorry, but this whole game is looking like a canon mess. Is TFU still considered canon. It looks cool, but I'm not sure I can believe it is canon in the EU.

[truJedi]

what difference does it make if its cannon or not .....you have a lightsaber ....what more do you want lol

[JediAthos]

I don't stress over canon...I enjoyed playing the first game and will gladly pick up this upcoming second installment. Besides...the EU is a gigantic cluster anyway...and I can't stand 80% of it.

There have been weirder things than an overpowered Jedi. But I personally don't like Starkiller's involvement in the Star Wars saga. But it's still not worse than some of the things I've heard about the Clone Wars series.

 

Anywho, it's a game, the one thing that really matters is if it's fun to play. Everything else is secondary.

Id rather have a blaster. (Wants a Han Solo game...)

So most people probably know that FU2 exec director Haden Blackman resigned from Lucasarts a month ago. The reason has seemingly become apparent as it has been revealed that the new studio head has wielded the axe, canning FU3 and sacking about 30% of the studio's staff.
