VGAs – Force Unleashed II announced, trailered
Missed this one yesterday. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II was announced and trailered at the VGAs over the weekend, as you can see after the break.
It’s CG-only, showing the Apprentice facing off against large, nasty things in an arena.
Have a watch. It’s out next year.

I think the reason no one guessed that this was the secret Lucasarts game was because no one actually wanted it.
Maybe that should have clued in LA to what people actually want.

Force Unleashed’s single worst problem: the lightsaber isn’t actually a lightsaber. This pretty much killed the game for me. And I doubt they are going to fix this in the sequel.
Even lowest cannon fodders takes several swipes, with their heads firmly attached. The move set is all wrong, lightsaber fighting is supposed to “flow” and saber clashing saber, not hit-pause-hit or hacking at opponent’s body a hundred times.

It would had clued LA into what the hardcore market but that’s not necessarily what the public would buy.

I thought the first Force Unleashed was a flop?

Despite all its faults the first one was a reasonable game, it was perhaps crushed a little under the weight of expectations and the hype the new damage modelling and AI got. Perhaps if they have listened to some of the criticisms of the game and the best suggestions/fixes into the sequel a la Assassin’s Creed II then it might actually be quite good.
Or they could just rehash the same game and it will be absolute bobbins.

What about Star Wars Legends?
