Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

[ProjectPat2280]

Star Wars game developer LucasArts has confirmed to Kotaku that it's making cutbacks at its internal studios today. Word from those affected by LucasArts layoffs indicating deep cuts.

One former LucasArts developer, let go from the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II team, called today's round of layoffs a "massacre," with an estimated 60 people let go from development and 25 from external production and QA getting the employment vibro-ax. The Force Unleashed II was said to have "gone gold" last Friday in time for its mid-September release date.

Hm, i hope this doesnt have a negative outcome on the game.

Multiplayer footage for the Wii version. Star Wars Smash Bros. could be a lot of fun.

Or...perhaps George Lucas just creates new plot holes in every movie. Yah, I'll go with that one.

This.

It's not a joke to say that Lucas is probably the worst author in what regards his own IP Star Wars. King of useless retcons or random changes to previously stablished material.

Here's a great example:

On the kid's Clone Wars animated CG series, the Mandalorian boss was initially going to feature a vibroblade in his battle against Kenobi, instead of the godawful darksaber. But Lucas stepped in and went "Oh no, there's no weapon that can defend against lightsaber swings, he has to have a lightsaber for that! Also make it a dark one too! lololol"

Anyone here who notices the idiocy behind this claim gets a free high five. Seriously, he even had THAT in his own godamn movies...

Look, I'm able to excuse Lucas for stuff like this AS LONG AS THE OVERAL PRODUCT IS GOOD. Little things like that mean NOTHING to me as long as the movie/show overall doesn't suck. You guys SERIOUSLY need to get off his back about **** like this. It's not fair to nitpick. *Damn fanboys*

 

[Michael Frost]

Considering that the overal product is also fairly crappy, I'm not really nitpicking - I was just giving examples of his constant incoherencies as of late.

Also, what is a fanboy?

A guy who likes something so much that he tends to ignore obvious bad choices or a guy who likes something and gets so disappointed when he sees his favorite IP go down the drain?

Holy S*** did that look awesome!

I can't wait for this game, Roctober is going to be sooo f'n awesome, this game, the Walking Dead, Avengers animated series! Too bad Splatterhouse got pushed back.

I've got the CE almost paid off at Game Stop, hopefully by the 26th I'll just walk in and pick it up.

George Lucas has become an apparent ****** in his later years. It's not nitpicking, it's the truth. The prequel should have proven that by now(after ten years later; it should've taken its time and have become a realization even for the hardcore fans).

I have watched the trailer for SW TFU 2 quite a few times... Can't wait for it.

Dude, that doesn't make sense he's the creator of the whole freaking Star Wars Universe. With that said he can do whatever he wants with it. Whether if its just you who don't like it or a million others nobody has the right to tell him how to handle his creation.He could make JarJar binks the most powerful Jedi and nobody could tell him different.

And that's why Lucas is an idiot, because he would do something so stupid nowadays.

Haha maybe, but it's his creation. He has that right.

Can we stop with the Lucas talk? It's getting annoying. Maybe you can continue this in the Star Wars thread.

Star Wars was created by Lucas...so, it would make sense for his name to be brought up, no?

 

[Dark_Lord]

Okay. I'll make a deal with you guys. If Vader wins the Villain contest on Gamespot and takes 1st place, we'll unveil an incredibly secret character skin we weren't going to talk about. One LucasArts fans will not believe.

GTTV Trailer for this week's episode. They'll show a never before seen level and cinematic from the game.

Boba Fett skin.

Why do the lightsabers not cut through on impact? Thats were the fun is and its not like there would be much blood.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They still have him holding the lightsaber in that stupid way? Ugh. It's not even remotely cool.

Yep. They weren't going to change it. Dont know why you thought other wise.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I thought they might since it looks awful. Not that I care since I'll probably never play this.

 

[Paradox1]

I like the way he holds the lightsaber it makes him very unique.When you see that Lightsaber stance you know its Starkiller.

That is not as fun as it sounds because you mow through everybody. If you ever play Jedi Academy you know what I'm talking there was a mod for realistic lightsabers. Its not as bad when you going up against dark Jedi but since this is era where the Jedi are nearly instinct it would be too much fun.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Nope, thats his stance. It was foolish to think they would change that about the character. Like Paradox said, it helps distinguish him from the billion other jedi.
