In more shocking news, Lucasarts just unveiled a teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II at the Spike TV Video Game Awards. Stunning that they would make a sequel to a game that sold six million copies, isn’t it?
The teaser trailer doesn’t offer anything in the way of info on the game, just promises of QTEs to come. The teaser for the first game was far more effective (bringing down a friggin’ Star Destroyer!) but at least this one messes with your expectations a bit, I suppose.
The original was one of those games that’s incredibly fun for about an hour or two until you realize that you’re repeating the same stuff over and over, and while throwing stormtroopers around with your force grip doesn’t really get old (especially when they grab onto their friends and you start a little Monkeys in a Barrel chain going) the world was boring, the level design uninspired. It was a big disappointment for those of us hoping for the first great Star Wars game in years. If they can give you more to do and allow you to really use your incredible force powers on the environment this time, they might have something worth owning. It will also be pretty interesting to see where they take the story from here, and if they pick it up from the DLC that has your apprentice crushing the rebellion.
Keep an eye on the official site for more, and expect the game to hit sometime next year.

TFU wasn't that bad. It was entertaining until you got to the mostly annoying boss fights. The game suffered from hype built up by fanboys that were hoping for the next masterpiece of gaming. What they got was a solid third person action game, which lead to calls of shitness. Knowing lucassarts, they probably won't fix up anything in the sequel.
Lucasarts do always seem to always ignore the obvious ways for them to have hit games. Any developer with half a brain would have by now done….
X-Wing Online – PS3/360
SCUMM games on DS
Lightsaber game – Wii
Han Solo Space trading game
A decent fps.
But that would be to easy and give people what they want.
Welcome to CHUD. Where nothing is good enough for you.
@#3: Fuck off to AICN. Where everything is AWESOME!!!!!!! Or they talk in a roundabout way how it actually sucks ass but not in such a manner as to upset their fanboy audience who need constant re-enforcement that they aren't a bunch of clueless losers with no taste or discrimination.
@#4 That's right, big guy. You stick to the "them and us" approach. Fill that gap in your life with venom and fanboy spite. Me? I'll do what I want. My point is that few things get through here without pointless sarcasm and whining and very little constructive criticism. AICN? I couldn't give a toss.
Of course. Nerds don't understand the concept of in-between. It's either all AWESOME or all SUCK.
A wise man once said that only Siths deal in absolutes.
I thought this teaser trailer was pretty decent by the way.
Fuck this. Where's Battlefront III? A game people actually want. I'll bootleg this when I'm bored, but i'll buy me some battlefront III for real. Seriously I loved bf 2 so much that when my disc broke I went to Target and bought it Again, and I still play that bitch from time to time after porn sessions.
It's not all AWESOME or SUCK, the game definitely had its high points (like the story) that counterbalanced how repetitive it got. I gave it a pretty generous 7 in my review. I just hope they adjust the criticisms in the next game, because there's plenty of room for improvement
Even if they don't change a damn thing I'll still buy it because the original is the closest thing to a great Star Wars movie we've had in years.
Maybe you kids should grow up and stop playing video games. They clearly make you too angry, and that's not healthy.
Finally, an article without a tired snarky comment about Lucas or Prequels.
Thank You!
