The Force Unleashed II
« on: June 14, 2010, 11:52:06 AM »
I want to see a whole movie's worth of this badass stuff:

Yeah, it's prerendered, no game footage at all. I don't care this time.

I played the demo of the first game, didn't really do much for me.

I wasn't a fan of the first one but that trailer was cool.  The Old Republic MMO has cool trailers too even though I probably won't play that either (despite finding it interesting for an mmo).

I liked the first TFU a whole lot. Looking forward to it.

btw, who is making this? wasn't the team behind the first game fired before it came out?

The first one was a fun rental, but not worth sixty dollars. That trailer was awesome, though.

I think everyone was fired or rage-quit, I know they did a big FU to the developers working there.

Also they tried to unify the pipeline between ILM's high-end CG and realtime games, which was a bad idea from the start

Yeah, that's not a good idea. Shared assets are a great plan, but it's a one-way street from film to games. That's it. That's all you can hope to do, because prerender is always going to be leaps and bounds more complex than real time.

First game was really fun. I'd say it turned me on to the God-of-War type of game, which I never got into because Kratos is the kind of lame ass, meaninglessly dark, violent, and macho anti-hero I'd expect to see scrawled on some pimply boy's Pee-Chee Folder in ballpoint pen. Starkiller is interesting, and the fact that SWTFU1 is "canon" storyline for the Star Wars universe made me happy in a way that the Prequels really, really did not.

They hired new people, I guess.
I think that the studio was dissolved.  Lucasarts is just publishing games now instead of developing them.

I'm glad they answered how you can be playing as the same dude when he died at the end of the first one.

Kind of.  :-\

Going to play it on Thursday. Beat the original a couple times so I want to see what's different.

this looks great.  I didn't like the first game, but this looks much better.
