Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

[socool]

Amazingly, I will have to wait for reviews before picking this up. I bought the first one with high hopes and was disappointed. It wasn't actually a bad game, just disappointing. Some of the combat was lack luster, it was riddled with glitches and was too short. The story was a huge plus for me though. That was the main reason I played through the whole thing and sold it for 35 bucks soon after.

Dev Diary - The Story of Starkiller

Lots of spoilers in that video. I must say I really like the new look they gave Juno, it makes her look like an outlaw now. The cutscenes between Vader and Boba + Starkiller and Yoda look awesome as well, can't wait!

I like how one of the guys is wearing a Indigo Tribe ring.

The Sith probably had a hair and hygiene conduct. Now she's out, she can have longer hair, lol.

Rumor: Lucasarts Cancels Force Unleashed III:

New Lucasarts president Paul Meegan certainly isn't wasting any time. Barely two months into the job and we hear he's already swinging the axe and cancelling high profile sequels.

If you were wondering why it was strange that Force Unleashed II creative director Haden Blackman would leave mid-project, this may explain things: according to sources at Lucasarts, Meegan has cancelled a third Force Unleashed game that was already in development, and members of Force Unleashed II's team (though we're not sure exactly how many) will be shown the door once that game ships.

Another unnamed project, due to ship next year, has avoided the axe, but has been "put on hold" while developers have been told to "expect management and reporting changes". Those changes are down to the departure of Blackman, who as work was winding down on Force Unleashed II had been leading development on this secret project.

These sources say "morale and productivity are at all-time lows" since Meegan took over, with most Lucasarts developers only finding out about Force Unleashed II's cancellation on the PSP by reading it on gaming news sites.

What the hell?

Lucasarts' president sounds like a big *****e.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Lucasarts fails so f***ing badly.

No Indy games, no Republic Commando 2, no Battlefront 3, no KOTOR 3 & now FU3... They're honestly allergic to money or something.

Haha yea it really is the strangest thing. On one hand you have Activision who has decided they will take all of their franchises and completely run them in to the ground albeit making a nice profit along the way and then on the other side you have Lucasarts who has decided they will take all of their franchises and just sit on them? Really dont see what they intended to accomplish with that strategy.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

This game will probably suck now if that rumor is true.

Why? It's going to suck if they leave the story open at the end, but I don't see why the game will suck.

 

[LightningFlash]

Most likely the game will end with a story left to tell though, as there was always a plan to make a trilogy for TFU.

The Force Unleashed II will probably be a great game, but it's a bit sad that we may not be able to ever see a third installment.

First, the prequel trilogy sucked, and now we may not get a TFUIII. Awesome.

 

[Paradox1]

Very disappointing news about the TFU3 wasn't the original game the highest grossing at lucas arts all time? I don't think the game will suck though it looks very good and by the time Blackman left the company. The game should of been in the final stages of development which would be testing for bugs.

However I can't get enough of this game and if this is the last game then I'm never gonna trade this one in. This game looks so awesome I can't wait for October 26 to come.

You think the developers are really going to care about putting out a good product if they're all out of jobs at the end of it?

I think most of the heavy lifting is complete. Id assume everything from here on out is just debugging and polishing, still you raise a good point.

Which they'll probably do a half ass job of and I doubt LucasArts will care enough to patch any of it.

They fired members of the original TFU team before TFU was finished and they still released at least one patch for the game and made the DLC and the Ultimate Sith Edition. I don't see why they wouldn't make a patch to fix possible bugs if there's a big problem.

 

[jacobed]

They may be getting fired but c'mon they aren't 15 year old immature kids, they're professionals wanting to make the best game possible. They will all get other work elsewhere very easily. It's a shame if its true that number 3 is cancelled. The first did get pretty repetitive after a while but that fantastic story kept you playing til the end.

If that were the case, every game would be good.

 

[TheBat812]

Sucks to hear that the President's a *****e. I'm sure there are many better options out there. Like innumerable. An Indiana Jones game would be amazing, I was so sad when I heard that they canceled the PS3/360 one a while back, that was supposed to use the Euphoria engine.

 

[Paradox1]

Think of it this way making a good game is like cooking. You can have the right ingriedents, the right pots and pans, but if you don't a good chef to put it all together. You don't get the gourmet meal that you pay for. What happened with Star Wars is that the cooking is done and all Lucas Arts has to do is serve the meal hot. They've had guys taste it,all they gonna do now is package it in something pretty.

The reason every game isn't good is because some teams can't .The difference is like professional athlete and normal Joe off the street.

Lol.

I spread the evil like Tila Tequila spreads her legs.

This sucks. This means we will probably never get Battlefront 3 either.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Way off. Some teams are just more talented than others. Period.
