Well, I didn't see any topics about this, so I figured I'd mention it. I just saw the preview for it on Spike's VGA episode. It looks very intriguing. Just was wondering if anyone else saw it and can confirm whether they thought it was Starkiller in the arena blasting the huge creature with Force Lightning? I thought the build up was awesome, showing the character haunted by voice and letting his emotion begin to build up and overcome him, until the voice of a female hits him.
Anyways, just wanted to mention I thought it looked pretty cool. Of course, the BMF himself introduced the game to the audience...with a quick, "If you are holding a red lightsaber, I'll cut your @#* in half." :D
-
Ok, well there's a bunch of buzz on the internet about it since the VGAs. Apparently it IS Starkiller, and he's being haunted by both Yoda and Vader's voice. Oh I forgot to mention that the creature that he kills is big enough to toss a rancor across the stadium floor. I"m trying to find some trailers for you guys, but apparently there aren't any off of Spike's website. :-\
-
Peace be upon all,
I saw...
And I will be waiting!!!! 8)
my only question is how many times will I re-watch that trailer!? ;)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew they couldn't resist! HAHA! I can't wait for this. I just saw the trailer on youtube.
Funny, on the websites main page he's holding two TOR Jedi sabers :D And it doesnt seem like they used Sam Witwer (SP?) for the main character model. Shame. I liked him.

-
Yeah, I just found it on YouTube and was going to post it. LOL...
The guy doing Vader's voice is HORRIBLE. Maybe Galen Marek put his lightsaber through his throat? LOL... :D
-
WOW IM GOIN NUTS!!! ;D the first one was amazing to me, but i dont get how starkiller can return, i mean....he died??
-
They didn't really say that he was "dead" really. After all, if they can ressurect him after being impaled and thrown out into the void of space (explosive decompression, absolute zero temp, yada, yada) I don't think the story will be that hard to pass off ;)
-
LOL...good point :D
-
I was watching that as well and I can't wait to get my hands on that! I love the first one a lot and was hoping they would go for a true sequel of sort. Glad its starkiller still too.
-
darn it why do so many good titles have to come out in 2010 now im torn between dead space and this
-
The original was the reason I purchased a xbox.
This series will not get old to me one bit. It will definitely be interesting to play out/see the storyline on this one.
It was "Juno's" voice asking if she would ever see him again... one of the last things she said to him in the original before he dove into the Death Star.
The voice of Vader was definitely different... but that wasn't played by Sam Witwer... Sam did the Apprentice and Palpatine. Vader was done by Matt Sloan.
drool, drool, drool...
;D
*edit*... oh yeah, saw the preview originally on Spike during the awards... SLJ to introduce it... just awesome!
-
i just hope we can use that force storm power
-
WOW IM GOIN NUTS!!! ;D the first one was amazing to me, but i dont get how starkiller can return, i mean....he died??
The same question hit me, for them to make a canon game out of TFU II, Galen has to have taken the Light Side Path, and like you say, "he died", or atleast I think he died?!?!?!?!?!!? hmmmmm, VERY VERY INTERESTING, I can't say that I won't LOVE THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF THIS GAME JUST AS I DID THE LAST ONE :). We shall see what story line they come up with to explain him surviving, and we shall see if it is believable.
-
definately looking foward to this one
-
Dude FTW!!! AWESOME! Those sabers do look like the TOR saber but a little modded to be different. It's gonna be interesting to see what they do with this. You think Vader resurrected him again to break him down and retrain him to be his apprentice?
-
No mention of a release date, yet...... Still, looks promising, if the trailer is any indication!
-
Seeing as how the website is unleashed2010.com, it will probably be out around next Christmas. It would be insane to release it with all the other titles in early 2010 even if the game was completed.

well you got god of war 3 and final fantasy in march and dead space 2 in october (maybe) so ya christmas will probably be when its released
-
Agreed Master Tiin and Delta...also for those of us not Sonyites there is Mass Effect II...Bioshock II...Halo Reach...so early it will not be...Holidays yes.
I also find it VERY interesting they used the Axim[?] design from TOR in the 'poster' image on the home page...if it was only one of them I'd wonder if perhaps it suggested a cross-continuity 'wink' there where maybe Starkiller finds the Axim somewhere during the FUII adventure but TWO of them makes that seem rather unlikely.
Or does that suggest that the Axim design may not have been a 'personal' saber of the Jedi in the TOR trailer but perhaps an early 'clan saber'?
Did they even have 'clan sabers' in the KOTOR/TOR era???...I thought clan sabers came in the post-Ruusan 'Reformation' of the Old Jedi Order?
-
what's funny is that people say that the darth vader voice was bad, and i thought so too. I also thought the vader voice at star wars in concert was bad, but it turns out that voice was done by JAMES EARL JONES. strange huh?
-
They didn't really say that he was "dead" really. After all, if they can ressurect him after being impaled and thrown out into the void of space (explosive decompression, absolute zero temp, yada, yada) I don't think the story will be that hard to pass off ;)
Well in the novel he actually did die. I'd prefer they left it at that, but hey. If there's money to be made it's not good business to ignore it. I'm sure the game will at least be fun to play even if the story isn't that great.

we'll probably get a lowdown on the story at E3 2010
-
well.... the face here: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed2/#
looks like Sam Witwer, who I'd think would reprise the role. It seemed like he had a blast.
Much anticipation for this game (and sabers) there is (in best Yoda voice :))
-
Good God! That trailer was awesome! ;D ;D ;D ;D I'm really looking forward to this, and can't wait to see how they explain everything.
-
sweet!!!!! :D :D :D
-
Perhaps everyone just THOUGHT he died, similar to Ventress, and he went off into the galaxy to be rid of the entire Galactic War issue. While away, he's still haunted by Yoda and Vader, conflicted by both the Dark and Light Side, and things he's done in the past, the whole time trying to find himself.
Just a thought though. :D
-
WOOO! I'M SO GOING TO GET THIS.
his new lightsabers aren't as awesome as his old ones though.
-
Yeah I've been wondering how far they can take his character since it isn't that long before ANH and presumably he does die [or does-a-Revan-beyond-the-outer-rim] before then...as Force-powerful as he's depicted he couldnt have gone entirely unnoticed during the OT years and NJO if he lived through them within the Known Galaxy.
-
There's always a bigger fish. I'd hope this would come out for Wii for realistic lightsaber combat with M+, but I'm already 90% sure it won't because that system has already established itself as the system where developers don't put any effort into the games.

wreck more havoc on the universe? so im guessing you can have devastator like powers from PROTOTYPE
-
OK, being a big Unleashed fan, here's what I saw...
That is Sam Witwer, he looks a little weathered but that's him.
The voice of Vader sounds like it did in the first game, its ok, just not my favorite.
LOVE Tom Kane (The Clone Wars) doing Yoda's voice.
LOVE EVEN MORE the 2 saber look, just like the concept art. I thought we were going to get that in the first one anyway.
I was hoping they would stick with the old starkiller saber (x2), and not sure how I feel about the TOR sabers. Maybe they should have been a different, more modern design?
Either way, looks like I'm gonna save my credits for this one.
-
gotta get the USE edition before this ;D
-

I have a problem with that because it kinda moots the entire point of the OT if there's a Force user running around the SW Galaxy during the GCW with 'god-like' Force powers...why would the Rebel Alliance, Obi or Yoda even care about Luke when all they need to do is recruit 'one man army' Starkiller who can pull SDs out of orbit etc.?
So either they have to kill him off - for good - BEFORE the events of ANH, have him leave the Galaxy like Revan, and forever [since he never comes back in the EU NJO era]...or have him lose most/all his Force powers [which is hinted at in this trailer] but PERMANENTLY sometime in this series...which is limited in duration since it is set so close to the OT.
So maybe a TFUII but they really ought to kill him off this time...they wont though because there always has to be a Threequel $ka-ching$ and then what if they don't 'de-Force' him? Starkiller hides on board the Tantive and when the SD chases it down he swats the SD like a bug and Leia delivers the plans to Yavin on schedule no Tatooine farmboy hidden twin or crazy old wizards required and Starkiller just flies Rogue Shadow to the Death Star exhaust port and zaps it with Force Lightning buh bye movie over?

The "voices":
Death is a natural part of life. - Yoda
Foolishly you hold to hope for the life you once had. - Vader
Let go of everything you fear to lose, you must. - Yoda
You think you have a purpose, a destiny. - Vader
Uncertain and fearful, you are. - Yoda
You are but a shadow of your former self. - Vader
Confused, you have become. - Yoda
Weak and misguided. - Vader
Hide not from yourself. - Yoda
Accept the certainty... - Vader
Confront your fears. - Yoda
...that all is lost. - Vader
Will I ever see you again? - Juno
Uncertain your future is... find yourself, you must. - Yoda
**************
The gameplay will be fantastic, that much is certain... This clip/release certainly did it's job for me. I'm soooooo wanting to know what the storyline is - will become.
So many questions...time will reveal I suppose. ;)

Sounds good to me lol, Starkiller (AKA:Galen Marek) is so much COOLER of a Character than Luke ever was, I only start liking Luke as a Character towards the end of ROTJ, where he starts to embrace his power and purpose. If they wanted to do an "Infinites" style story replacing Luke with Starkiller, that's just fine with me. I still have a hard time understanding though, "He's Dead", they never realy explain what killed him, there was that lighting war with Sidious and then BOOM, and next thing you see is Starkiller lying on the floor and Vader stating, "He's Dead", Sidious seems very displeased with the idea that he's dead because he will have then become a matyr to the Rebels cause, giving them inspiration and will power to fight on against the tyrany of the Empire. So how do they bring him back??? I realy need to hear the explanation for how he's alive, and then decide if it's plausable, or if Lucas is simply trying to cash in on another "Cash Bull Rancor".

My question about his death... is that he had died once already. Vader killed him, and set him adrift in space. Next scenes we see is the droid finding him, then he's in the medical bay waking up. So, are we to assume it's medical technology that brought him back to life?
So... how would they continue the saga after all that Dark Force power that should have killed him? More medical? Midi-Chlorians? Yoda wasn't strong enough in the force to prevent death (as he stated in ROTJ), but maybe Starkiller was? He had grown quite a bit through the story's progression. But then again... he was still trying to master meditation. Oh, who knows. Will be very interesting to see how they play it out.

Sidious brings him back using Darth Plagueis' resurrection techniques mentioned in ROTS.
It's been done before in the EU, for example Vader Vs Maul.

They might continue the story from the alternate ending were Starkiller kills Vader and becomes the Emperor's apprentice....
-
I always thought that the Darth Plagueis parable was really about Darth Plagueis having "influenced the midichlorians to create life" - in the 'immaculate conception' of Anakin ["conceived by the midichlorians" as Qui Gon said] not that he had power of Resurrection [which would have been a whole other side of the Xtian metaphor eh?].
Did Darth Plagueis really have resurrection techniques or was that a lie that Darth Sidious told Anakin to sway him from the Jedi Order...afterall if Sidious really knew how to do that then why not deliver on his promise and resurrect Padme which would then give him leverage to control Vader perfectly and perpetually since a live [vulnerable] Padme would be a perfect hostage for Vaders eternal obedience.
Vader would have never dared even having a secret apprentice if he had Padme to lose [again] if discovered.
-
I saw the VGA's (on my DVR). I thought the big announcement was going to be about the SW MMO coming in fall 2010 (on the PC). This was an unexpected surprise. ;D I'm always down for a new SW game. I hope this one is longer, and less linear.
BTW: That was 100% Starkiller in the trailer. When I saw his face for the first time in that trailer I thought he was going to be in the MMO! lol The TFU II (at the end) caught me off guard.
-

Continue it from TFU: Ultimate Sith Edition, you mean?

im going with the idea he was resurrected or he didn't die on the death star
-
I bet he didn't die on the death star.. The trailer seems like some sort of arena, where he needs to kill the giant monster in front of a crowd..
It might be him, as a fallen jedi, being some sort of 'gladiator' (like in gladiator where the fallen officer becomes one) and trying to seek revenge or somethng..
Living in exile an stuff like that..
just a thought...
-
"Everything we do in life echoes in the Force." :P
-
I NEED THIS GAME! :o can't wait for this to come out! as for the story i think starkiller survived his encounter with the emperor on the death star and becomes an outcast,but luke turns to the dark side so then starkiller pretty much becomes luke and leads the rebel alliance as the hero figure through all the events of the original trilogy
-
Unles Uncle George had a serious case of the SNAFUs, I don't see that as being a likely storyline. He made sure he was carefully involved in the script of the first game to keep it along canon storyline so that it meshed with the Original Trilogy. The Sith Edition is a "What If" scenario. I don't see him doing the actual sequel to the first in a non-canon way, destroying the whole Star Wars genre. Let's face it, like Uncle George has stated before ... the story of Star Wars is the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker.
So, if he's still in the same mindset as with the first, for creating an extension of the Star Wars universe that will still exist within that theme, I foresee him writing out Starkiller in some way. Whether he goes to "fight a greater threat" similar to Revan, or he really does die. Like many have said in the discussion, a Force Wrecking ball like Starkiller could not exist at the same time period as Luke and whatnot while Yoda, Ben, and everyone is just ignores him.
Starkiller reminds me of what I envisioned Kyp Durron becoming with all his raw power in the Force. I'll never forget laughing hysterically the first time I read the Jedi Academy trilogy and Kyp put Luke into a coma. Plus, let's face it. Aside from Starkiller, how many people could manipulate the Suncrusher out from the middle of the sun. Well, I guess you can say that Kyp had some help from goold old Exar Kun too :)
Anyways, I digress. I truly hope Lucas keeps the game within the continuity of the entire storyline.
-
Agree with Darth Raijlin I do. This game isn't going to follow the footsteps of the "What if" Ultimate Sith Edition. It's going to be a canonical story line, there for I don't see Starkiller outshining Vader, Luke and the rest of the gang and or leading the rebellion or anything like that.
With the story in between the two trilogies, Starkiller is back from the dead, trying to find his way in the galaxy torn between the light and the dark side. Sounds awesome. Hopefully they do this right.
-
I have absolutely no idea where the game developers can take this... I'm curious and can't wait to see what they have for the gamers.
-
I thought the force unleashed was never going to have a sequel, even though it's the fastest selling star wars game ever. And now they're making a sequel... i'll buy it anyways.
-
Have to echo a common thought, I did not think this sequel would happen, I thought for sure that the story ended with Force Unleashed and picked up at ANH. Excited to see what they came up with. Looks intense.
-
I really hope that this portion of the story takes place WAY out in another galaxy because I honestly don't see how they could keep him in the "known space" of the Star Wars universe during the time period of ANH without screwing up the storyline. :-\
That's why I kind of got excited by the trailer. It's ironic that someone mentioned the movie Gladiator, cause that's exactly what I thought. A "Revan in another Galaxy" meets "Gladiator" embodiment where Starkiller could go to work out his inner turmoil (while not screwing up the plot line to the greatest space opera known to man).
I just wouldn't want to see them take a great storyline that seemed to work reasonably seemlessly from the first TFU, and then hose it by giving it the equivalent storyline to a "she's dying because she's lost the will to live" comparison because they coudln't think of something else better and wanted to make money.
(Ok, you guys KNOW it's funny. I mean, come on. IF you're two kids that were just born aren't enough motivation for you to live, she SHOULD have been Force Choked.)
I'm just on edge cause good old Uncle George is both famous AND infamous for plot line development, or a lack thereof.
-
Ya, I am with you, I mean judging by the age of Leia in the first game, we are getting dangerously close to infringing on the ANH time frame. They better have figured out a good excuse for Starkiller to be existing right now and yet remain unheard of during the time of the OT. Kinda the same problem they run into with Ahsoka and the lack of her in ROTS.
-
Yeah thats my problem with the timing of a TFU sequel too unless Starkiller pulled a Revan and went beyond the Outer Rim to a fringe of the Galaxy backwater where the local monsters are bigger than Rancors.
btw its a biological impossibility for bipeds to exist on a 1G planet that are much larger than Rancors and even Rancors are straining the limit of credibility - has to do with the MATERIAL limit of bone matter itself rather than the STRUCTURAL limit of how designed or how thick the leg bones are...there are reasons carnosaurs didnt get MUCH bigger than T-Rex [or 'Spinosaurus' for JP fans] and never would have even if the the Cretaceous hadn't been cut short by falling rocks. 'Godzilla' [or 'Cloverfield'] is categorically evolutionarily impossible at least in an approximate 1g gravity field and the way that Starkiller walked indicated a near normal gravity so that creature could ONLY be a DROID disguised as a life form to bamboozle the rubes at the arena...if George cared about scientific plausibility that is.
-
Where talking about a series where there is sound in space. Let's keep the physics out of it or else we'll end up picking apart numerous things that would not be physically impossible.
Besides, it clearly states, "A long time ago in a GALAXY far, far away ..."
It'd be very myopic to believe that EVERY place in the time/space continuum coincides with our Laws of Physics, Matter, and Energy. That's similar to the short-sightedness that scientists exude when they try to claim there isn't life on "XYZ planet" because there is no source of Carbon, when the likelihood is perhaps the development of life on THIS planet utilized Carbon as the "base buidling block" while on another planet, perhaps it was ... oh ... Silicon, or even some element we don't have on our periodic chart.
Back to the topic on hand ...
-
I think we better not discuss the physics flaws in star wars... We could write a saga just on that alone.. ;)
-
Have to echo a common thought, I did not think this sequel would happen, I thought for sure that the story ended with Force Unleashed and picked up at ANH. Excited to see what they came up with. Looks intense.
I was hoping they would do a sequel, either with a new character or existing one (not sure who tho, repaired proxy? ;p). I enjoyed the first game but there were some extremely frustrating moments with the poor targeting system, the friggin LOADING screen (AarRggghh!), that stupid star destroyer level, and inconsistent performance of the physics/dmm engines.
Personally I would love to see some 'flashier' combos chaining multiple force abilities, similar to the DMC/GoW/Bayonetta style of fights (okay, maybe not as crazy as Bayonetta). I also love the new dual sabers, different crystals for each will be great feature!
-
WOOT! Another reason to rip things apart with the force. Sad part is they don't need a storyline to sell the game, just more levels to the original one.
As far as the storyline, I played both endings and the ending where you face off against palpatine Vader does state that Starkiller is dead, to which Palpatine replies that he is stronger then ever, because he will be a rallying point for the rebellion.
The alternate ending with Vader, he doesn't die, just gets mangled and turned into a monster. He could have went into a force induced coma or something, where his lifeforce was so minimal that to everyone he appeared dead, when he was just being held in limbo by the force.
With that said, I am so looking forward to playing this game. Also I wonder if any sabersmiths are already working up plans to make replica's of his lightsabers.
-
Also I wonder if any sabersmiths are already working up plans to make replica's of his lightsabers.
Since they are remodeled 'the old republic-jedi'-sabers they probably already exist ;)
-
Considering that you don't see what Vader or Palpy do with his body, it is reasonable to assume he may have just been playing possum ;D
Seriously, though. I hope they don't go down the resseruction route again BUT, if it is a clone? Struggling to deal with the legacy of the original Apprentice? Regardless as long as it isn't a re-hash, trying to kill the Emperor I shall be happy!
-
Since the existence of clones is a well established part of SW from the very beginning with ANH it seems a likely route for them to use to create a TFU sequel and imo would be more believable than other ways even if it is rather obvious...sometimes the obvious way just makes more sense.
-
Honestly, I'm more surprised they decided to make another one. I'm really interested now on what they wil have as his reason for being alive. I want it to be the clone route (like that mad old cloned Jedi Master and Luuke) but it is starting to feel alot like Mass Effect 2 build up, what with Shepard apparently and officially dead but obviously not.
-
Does anyone know when it comes out officially, otherwise, I think it comes out mid-year
-
I'm unsure of it's exact release date but the Lucas Arts website has it simply as '2010'. Not much help, I know but seeing as only a short teaser has been released so far, it may be a fair bit of.

just wait till E3 they'll probably release some footage and a release date
-
Ah, E3, not quite what it used to be but still one of the pinnacle gaming conventions.
Interesting to note though, in TFU 2 trailer you see Malek with his lightsabers attached to his chest. I thought that was quite cool :D
-
Malek with his lightsabers attached to his chest
If you're bored go watch the trailer again. We how turns on the second saber... OooooOooooohh my..... Sorry. What I mean is that power-up noise his second saber makes is the best sounding lightsaber sound effect ever!!!! Does anyone know where you can get a soundboard that makes that noise? I don't think the regular old Sith soundboard makes it. It's a high-pitch BeZuuuuuuueeeeeee
-
The most likely thing that MIGHT happen is one of the font makers will make a soundfont for the crystal focus board ... talk to Nova see what he thinks
-
Also I wonder if any sabersmiths are already working up plans to make replica's of his lightsabers.

Malek with his lightsabers attached to his chest
If you're bored go watch the trailer again. We how turns on the second saber... OooooOooooohh my..... Sorry. What I mean is that power-up noise his second saber makes is the best sounding lightsaber sound effect ever!!!! Does anyone know where you can get a soundboard that makes that noise? I don't think the regular old Sith soundboard makes it. It's a high-pitch BeZuuuuuuueeeeeee
I believe there is a *similar* sound on the clone wars ultimate lightsaber board
Try this video from Matt Thorn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29z7QPectRs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29z7QPectRs) - go to around 3:40

Also I wonder if any sabersmiths are already working up plans to make replica's of his lightsabers.

YES

one of the things that always weirded me out about TFU is that they modeled Starkiller after this sniveling side-character from the first season of Dexter. http://burymeinthisdress.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sam_witwer.jpg (http://burymeinthisdress.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sam_witwer.jpg)
that being said, i love the first and am anxiously anticipating this one.
-
Very anxious to learn about the plot
-
If Starkiller is interacting with Yoda, doesn't that kind of suggest that they might tie Starkiller to 'the cave' on Dagobah? Or has that already been covered and explained in the extended universe?

Tell me about it, I played Mass Effect and got my character to Level 60, not to mention he was a billionaire, then Mass Effect 2 comes along and what is my reward? Bumped to level 5 oh and every decision you made in your 90 hour game save means nothing. That annoys me. They care about those who come into the game in the sequel.
Anyway my point being it's an unfortunate fact of video games, they use that weak plot device to 'power you down' and reset any abilities. Why would it bhe so hard to make a mode for those who want to import all their hard work, level etc, but make it (the game) harder?
Excuse my rant, but this is something that happens to often in games....I'm done :)
I didn't like the first one that much, it deserved a more sandbox style of play rather than levels. Not to mention it only got really interesting towards the end (Rebel Alliance and what have you).
I have alot of hope for the sequel as I love Star Wars video games (when they get it right - Rogue Squadron baby!) and I'll be interested to see how they revive him...

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by TES 3 - Morrowind Game of the Year. Of course, they were just expansions on to the game, but it was nice that you got to keep your character from the main game, and didn't have to start over.
-
Similar to Elder Scrolls IV with Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, nice to use an original Character. Which is why I have high hopes for Dragon Age Awakening. It's an expansion and allows character import as well as increasing the Level cap (such as Bethesda did for their DLC), not that the level cap is anything to get excited about as enemies level with you :D!
Even though I didn't and likely will not play TFU 1 for my 360 I fully support the importing of characters at their full level, it's a nod and appreciation to those who made the first so successful.
-
I just like reviving old threads :P
No but really yesterday I talked to some guys at Gamestop and they told me the game is coming out end of the year (dec 31) or so. More then 6 months away.
I know of one guy who is selling FUII replicas on Ebay but I do not have the link just look up Custom Lightsabers.
I think he will either be depowered such as he used up all his built up force power to repel the emperor that he lost to much and his link to the force was weakened or cut or damaged w/e.
Or he will be a clone who starts stronger then the first did but not as strong as he finished. I actually like the depowered one if they explained it as he used up all that energy to fight and it was so much it damaged his connection to the force that he was left weakened.
And maybe Yoda and Obi.. just never heard of him.. he was a Jedi for like.. a day or so, maybe they didn't meditate those days, to them he was a sith or just a strong in the force being.

LOL.. you da man! ;D
-
Good call aceofdaves.
I understand why everyone thinks 'de-powering' players in game sequels is a weaksauce cop-out for game designers generally but in the specific case of TFU I think its a necessity for the larger SW continuity that we don't have 'Super-Jedi' running around the SW Galaxy nearabouts the time of ANH or else it makes hash of why a mere Tatooine farmboy named Luke something-or-other matters at all to the Rebellion or Empire when 'Super-Jedi' can Force-pull Star Destroyers out of orbit eh? Fuggedaboud trench runs in X-wings send in SK he'll tear DS 1 apart from inside.
So he had to be killed or depowered at the end of TFU and for that same reason he has to be killed or depowered at the end of TFU 2...yeah they can pull a "went out beyond the Outer Rim and was never heard from again" which is ok for the SW writers ONCE but thats been done and it starts to look just as lamo cliched as depowering if every time a 'Jedi ubermensch' gets too 'big' for the Galaxy the writers chicken out and banish them beyond the Outer Rim.
Luke is probably next to be thusly Banished by bad writing I guess...hey he and Starkiller and Revan [methinks he's still alive ;)] can have a big par-tay when they all meet eh? Gee with banished 'Super-Jedi' heading their way its a wonder the Vong survived long enough to invade eh? ::)
I know its a cheapshot in gaming but depowering Starkiller is necessary for Star Wars canon if the writers don't want to permanently kill him.
-
Speaking of characters not showing in ANH where is Kota? I know I might be able to look it up if I did some digging but does anyone know where he went in the time between TFU and ANH?
Maybe in the end of this one Starkiller's connection to the force is completely cut and he is left as powerless.
-
Well, Kota is a blind general. For those of you who played Battlefront Elite Squadron, you'll know that Kota helped the Rebellion out with the death star plans.
-
Wow. That looks like it will be an interesting outlook on Starkiller's procession of his life. I definately will be getting this one.
-
Peace be upon all,
I just hope Best Buy in San Francisco throws another great launch party with all the game actors and Mr. Lucas! I had a great time at the one for TFU! 8)
With all of its flaws, I loved TFU1 and usually game sequels try to correct those flaws and also benefit from seasoned feedback from the first game. Starkiller has definitely become a favorite character -and saber hilt for me so I can't wait to take the journey again! ;)
I also hope they do another companion novel like they did for TFU1. It really filled in the holes and expanded the in-game story and was a great read.
TFU2 will also be the cover story of next month's GamePro magazine...

No worries, I figured you did it to keep us in suspense. :)
-
Ugh, they are going the clone route.
How lame.
-
cant wait though, tfu was just a fun game
-
Being a clone does explain how he is alive though..... 8) I'm still gonna get it, looking forward to what they do with the story.... Hopefully some cool new abilities, and the dual saberplay should be cool... ;D
-
Personally the Clone option doesn't sit well with me, but if they do choose that route then it will be interesting to find out why he was cloned and by whom.
Very likely it was by the Emperor and possibly for reasons such as a powerful Apprentice or simply a powerful and controllable weapon. I'd like that to not be true but we'll find out soon enough.
-
Yeah... I agree with the sentiments above.
Being a clone is just meh...
but hopefully they make the story interesting enough so that it makes up for that fact.
Either way I'll be getting it when it comes out ;D
just call me a sucker and open my wallet why don't you Lucas?
-
I don't know about the whole clone thing, whatever they do, they’ll make it work.
When I first heard the basic outline for force unleashed I was devastated that they would bring in an apprentice who plays a major role in the storyline
yet was never mentioned during the films!
But they made it work, and I gladly embrace the game as part of the story.
I'm sure I'll be equally as pleased with the second one, at least story wise.

Release Day Announced - October 26 2010

Release Day Announced - October 26 2010
Can't wait, I'll pre order as soon as possible ;D
-
That's great! Something to look forward to. Hope they will release some screens or vids of this game in development.
-
I read an article on it last night and it says it will be good, they made more of an emotional storyline to this one rather then what they did in TFU.
You get to play on new levels like Kamino and others, and of course Dagobah.
-
Well it looks & sounds amazing to me (other then the whole clone thing; reminds me of all the times the emperor came back as a clone, as if it wasn't ridiculous enough the first time :D) looking' forward to it... I have a feeling that it won't disappoint.
-
I can't wait for this game to come out,i've played through the first one 3 times now,really liked how the story went with explaining the formation of the rebal alliance.
-
Peace be upon all,
The pre-order is up for the standard and Collector's Edition of TFU2...
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product%5FID=78039
-
I personally like the clone idea; SW Insider has an article about TFU II, it said that Starkiller will find his own identity. That's a really cool storyline.
It also said that there will be "elements of Vader's character that you haven't seen before". "The apprentice is able to test his patience, and at times get to him. Vader is taken out of his comfort zone."
Very excited about this game!
-
Let's not forget about the new trailer tomorrow at 11 on spike's E3 special!

OK, hands up who would like to see this game franchise become a full feature length film........ any one??? ;D

I for one would love to see a movie done like the trailer. Lucas Arts just forced me to throw money at them for the collectors edition of this game with that awesome trailer.

Peace be upon all,
I don't even want to admit how many times I watched that cinematic trailer but... yeah, I'd like to see a feature length movie made like that!!
I sense in the Force that a pre-order will be taking place today... ;)
-Bin Adam
-
Yep, you can pretty much guarantee im getting it.
-
You know what's funny is ... the whole premise in Star Wars of cloning themselves. With the cloning process is a transfer of all memories, feelings, etc.
Not quite sure why that last would occur. I guess Lucas and LFL viewpoint is that memories become part of the "programming process" of a being that gets permanently imprinted. But then again, the clones at the end of the trailer have been manipulated to become the ultimate Sith Warrior, hence the mutations we can see through the glass and the difference in eye color. If this were the case, why wouldn't he have adjusted his memories right from the start to eliminate any sort of chance for rebellion from the Apprentice?
Ah well, I just hope the story in this one is stronger than the last game. I wasn't impressed with the storyline and felt there were too many holes. Especially if you were choosing the Dark Path for Starkiller to follow, it didn't makes sense how they had the same storyline with him whining so much. At least with KOTOR, the storyline and NPC reactions shifted AROUND your choices in the game.
Hopefully they learned from their past mistakes, and took some notes from Bioware in how to create a solid storyline.
-
Very awesome trailer! Two hands way up to see a full length movie of this. Definitely got me excited to get this, you know its gonna be way better than the first.:)
-
OK...VERY cool...but...
...it doesnt make sense...
...IF Vader actually had "no further use" for Starkiller and really wanted the Stormtroopers to "kill him" [which the stormtroopers might believe because he was chained...in fact the entire purpose of the chains would be to make the troopers believe that]...then...
WHY WOULD VADER LEAVE TWO LIGHTSABERS IN THE SAME ROOM instead of taking them with him?
And since he did leave those sabers behind, then wouldn't Starkiller know that he HADNT been "betrayed by Vader for the last time"?
Maybe SK was too fresh out of the cloning tank to be thinking straight but obviously Vader leaving sabers behind means *paraphrasing Leia in ANH*
...'it's too easy...he WANTED him to escape'. Presumably for a similar reason to lead the Empire back to the Rebellion hmmm? Tracking implant?
[Which might be the answer to: "If this were the case, why wouldn't he have adjusted his memories right from the start to eliminate any sort of chance for rebellion from the Apprentice?"]
Or maybe Starkiller does 'get' that and that is the betrayal he means; that Vader is trying to 'use' him again [despite having just said hes no further use lol]
Interesting trailer...gonna be a good game methinks... ;D
-
This game looks sick - not sure if I should get it for Xbox or wii
-
i went blind from the epicness of the trailer
-
I dunno but I might think the trailer was from the middle of the game.
Look at Starkiller's clothes. In the first screenshots from the game he had more Kamino-like clothes and other sabers and in the first trailer and this trailer he had other clothes and theese lightsabers.
I dunno, I might be wrong... ^^"
And I'm curious about the fellas in the tanks. :3
"Look, starkillers in the shop. Grab yourself one before they'll be gone!" XD

Peace be upon all,
Finally!! Here is a little actual gameplay footage...

-
I already seen it yesterday or 2 days ago on youtube... o.o'
The realism in the graphics and movements is amazing! Much better than in the first one... And I heard they did some new moves and such... And the Force Grip is settled nicer. :3
If special edition had the REAL crystal, to put to your lightsaber if you got the crystal chamber, I'd already preordered it, but til now... I'm still considering. 80$ is a lot of money... :/
-
It's gonna be a long wait till October...
-
Indeed, will be eagerly awaiting the newest installment. Going to have to replay TFU USE when I get on vacaction in a week to hold me over.
-
"Look, starkillers in the shop. Grab yourself one before they'll be gone!" XD
F5!
F5!!

-
Anyway, if Starkiller had 1 saber in TFU I, now he has 2 sabers in TFU II, let's see if he'd manage to have 3 blades at the same time. 0.0
Anyway, they can buy everyone with such awesome trailers like from TFU or TOR. >.<
-
The game footage looks epic!
I can't wait for the release!
-
I see that its not coming out for PC again. Guess I'll get the Wii version and wait to see if they ever re-release with a version for PC like they did with TFU USE.
-
This game looks sick - not sure if I should get it for Xbox or wii
I'm Pro-Nintendo but really, you'll enjoy it more on the Xbox.
-
In a way I'm thankful it's not coming out for PC this time. My current video card (it's an oldie) in my computer won't run The Force Unleashed at all. All though I heard it was pretty glitchy from those that played the PC version of the first one.
I have The Force Unleashed II on Pre-Order from Amazon for my PS3. I'm looking forward to getting it and I agree the game looks like it's gonna be awesome.
I'm hoping there will be a lot more unreleased AOTC and ROTS music in this one since Kamino and Dagobah are supposed to be featured.
-
I've been checking the demo section on ps3 store everyday, I'll post if/when one is available for download :)
-
I played the first one, and I distinctly remember Starkiller being killed on the Death Star...
Huh. Wonder how they'll play this out.
Edit: Oh... he's a clone. ::)
Let's hope we don't start the game with a black screen and a familiar voice saying "Death is not the end, agent..."
-
I didn't see this posted yet, so here goes

Interesting. However, it appears that the end-clip scenematics were not available. Bummer dude! :D
-
Still looks promising, and the reveal of that Force Fury or whatever it is that lets you see what your EVENTUAL powers will be, that is a nice mechanic!
-
Fantastic trailer.
The first one was a blast; I look forward to this. I'll go for the PS3 version.
-
Star Wars games are really stepping their trailers up, aren't they? After I saw the newer(?) trailer, I was hooked.
We have come a long way since Jedi Power Battles, huh?
I like the website too, was getting really into it until the last clips. The clips with Kota are the best, in my opinion. The characters seem more life-like in this game.
-
Jedi Power Battles! That was a classic. The lightsaber deflect introduced!
I am still a devoted Obi-Wan gamer (I actually bought an Xbox for this game alone. Otherwise, I would have never touched a "FixBox".
I would to see a true 1080p Star Wars game, but I guess will never know. I doubt this one will be, but I can dream.
-
What I gathered from the second trailer was that vader has his own batch of Galen Marek clones. What I'm not 100% sure of, is that this galen marek is a clone or if he is the original. By the way, according to Amazon.com, Force unleashed II will also be released on PC, as well as on the consoles.
-
Just watched a couple of trailer's for this and OMG!!! :o :o :o this game looks like it's going to be off the hook can't wait for the 26th october (unless I have miss read the release date)
-

Can't help you there, Aelde, I've only had problems with Windows 7 and a 64 bit browser, had to downgrade.
Great site, makes learning fun! Annoying puzzles but rewarding visuals.
Be interesting to see how this plays out. For one I'm glad it's not "He's a clone, that's it", SO GLAD.

check out the bonus skin you get if you preorder the game http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3180501
-
You get that skin as well as a silver lightsaber crystal if you pre-order through GameStop. You get 2 special challenge maps if you pre-order through Amazon plus a future $10 game credit. It's a really a tough choice :(
-
Naaa... it's just "which do you want sooner, rather than later".
I would expect all of the "special" content will be available in one form or another as a DLC in some future pack - at least they have so far.
So... which do you want to fulfill your instant gratification? ;D
Gamestop gets my vote! ;)

Tryed opening this last night but no joy, but tryed this morning and it worked I think I just didn't give it time enough to load but it did take a while to view it all due to all those puzzels and the fact that they took a while to load but managed to do them all and it has increased my eagerness to get this game :D

You can shortcut past the puzzles and view the video by downloading the video with Internet download manager. Ran slow on my computer, so I downloaded it. I know, I cheated, but it took a half hour to load three seconds....

I agree, the content will most likely be released eventually in a form of of DLC. Take Mass Effect 2 for example they just released an armour outfit you could only get through pre-order as DLC. Not free, despite their 'Cerberus' "membership". Anyway, again I agree that it's just instant happy points to choose one now! lol

Click! :D

Personally, I don't think it's very cool of Boba to be asking for stormtroopers. He should be able to take care of Starkiller on his own, he shouldn't need any help.
And it's nice to see that Tom Kane can do the "OT" style Yoda voice too, as his Yoda voice never sounds "curious" enough.

Yeah, so I got to play the demo of it at CV. :o :o :o ;D
SOOOOOOO cool. I can't wait for this game. It is so much smoother and cooler than the last one.

Thanks for the links to the 2 youtube cutscenes, Romulus!! Getting me amped up for this game to hit in Oct. ;D

What I gathered from the second trailer was that vader has his own batch of Galen Marek clones. What I'm not 100% sure of, is that this galen marek is a clone or if he is the original.
*** SPOILER ALERT!!!! ***
What I read online a few days ago, Jedi K-man, is that the character is the same form TFU. Also Is that Vader made 12 clones of Starkiller with the help of the cloner's from Kamino, and without the emperor's knowledge. These clones are his attempt to rectify the "failure" of starkiller not working out as expected and turning on his master. Now the next part may or may not to be believed but I also read that he made 1 clone by combining the DNA of Starkiller and the DNA of ... DARTH MAUL!! ( I'm tempted to believe this due to the Maulkiller bonus content!)
I forget where I saw this, possibly gamestop.com or gameinformer:
In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the world was introduced to Darth Vader’s now fugitive apprentice, Starkiller. He helped ignite the flames of rebellion in a galaxy so desperately in need of a champion. In this sequel, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, Starkiller returns as he embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader—but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is trying to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. The chase is on – Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller.
In the cloning facilities of Kamino, Darth Vader created a warrior of unparalleled strength and power by combining the genetic material of Darth Maul, former apprentice of Sith Lord Darth Sidious, with his own apprentice, Starkiller. The resulting aberrant clone possessed traits from both warriors, but the crude fusion of two disparate Force users quickly produced physical and mental instabilities that led to the unfortunate clone’s destruction. For a brief time he struck fear into the hearts of all who faced him, even Lord Vader himself.

Starkiller plus Maul???
The greatest force user AND the greatest lightsaber user together, that is the ultimate combination!
-
So I was thinking about this after having watched the yoda cut scene and I think SK might survive this game... In ESB, Yoda tells Obi that there may be one other (when referring to who may bring balance to the force and defeat sidious). Up until now, the common consensus was that this "other" was Laia; however based on the premise and interaction between Yoda and SK, I am thinking that they will tie this into the ROTJ and that the "other" was and is in fact SK.
???

I don't know. I've always thought that ever since RotJ came out, it was pretty clear that Leia was the "other". Luke/Leia and Starkiller have different destinies. Anakin was to bring balance to the force through his children, while Starkiller was to start a rebellion to rally behind them. At least, that's how I understand it.
I don't know, I've always thought the story was flawed anyway. How is destroying the last two (at the time) Darksiders going to bring "balance"? If you ask me, the peak of the clone wars was as balanced as it could get (don't ponder on that too much, it wasn't a very good example). lol Sorry for going off topic. I'll bring it back, don't worry.
Looking forward to the force unleashed II!!

uhhhhhh.... Well.... I do like the speculation. But I don't seeing that happening. Interesting take tho..
This all assumes that Starkiller survives more than this game (there could be a TFU 3), he has to survive the series, and still be involved in the happenings in this galaxy. What if he dies at the end of TFU 2 or 3 or 4? Which, I might add, are assumed to all take place before the happenings of A New Hope. Or what if he survives the series and says to himself "Well, I have Juno now, and to me that is all that matters, peace out yo..." and takes off for another galaxy with his lady. :D
I see the events of this game as a further explanation of why Vader (and Yoda), did the things they did in ESB and RoTJ with Luke. It's kinda like (with Vader), "I've done this all before. I wanted to take down the emperor but need help. But this time, It's MY son! I have a son. Not someone elses I've trained to look up to me." So after haveing played through this series of games, then watching the movie, I'll get that feeling. The feeling of "this looks very familiar. It's been tried before, but now it's Vader's own flesh and blood. He can't betray him aswell, can he? This time it has to work...."
I have a gut feeling at the end of the game/series there will be a cut scene with alive Ben Kenobi and Yoda talking about "That boy may have been our last best hope (starkiller)" and Yoda saying "No, there is another. You must watch over young skywalker more closely now"
I don't know. I've always thought that ever since RotJ came out, it was pretty clear that Leia was the "other". Luke/Leia and Starkiller have different destinies.

I highligted a part above. See, I don't agree with that statement. I have always believe that, yes the prophecy was that "one will be born of the force that will bring balance" and that Qui-Gon misinterpereted this prophecy. Anakin did bring balance, there where a handful of sith and hundreds of Jedi. He turned to the darkside and slayed all the younglings and help to kill all the jedi but a few. By the events of the original trilogy, there where a handfull from each faction, and the "power" of each faction was probly "balanced" against each other.
-
Any further response I make will only turn this topic from TFUII to "What did the Chosen One prophecy really mean?", which I dare not attempt, as I already did it before. I'm only going to say that I disagree with your point and leave it at that. I admit that I went off topic and tried to return us to the correct course, hoping we'd get back on topic. Imho, we don't need to go into the "prophecy" any further, at least not here.
Mods, I take responsibility for this and I'm sorry.
-
Sorry to stay off topic but I just wanted to say that I love the Ideas that people have come up for how they think the game will play out and how they think that it fits into the films and I gives me some good ideas for the book I am struggling to write.
Going back on topic I really can't wait for this game to come out looking at all the video's it looks like it is going to be off the hook ;D :o ;D
-
But... Starkiller is played (voice and face) by a real actor? He looks like an actor I have seen somewhere... but I don't remember his name (and where I could have seen him!). :-[
Can you help me? :-\
-
Peace be upon all,
@Salvatore1971 the actor's name is Sam Witwer, http://samwitwerfans.com/
-Bin Adam
-
I like the discussions covering the prophecy and am wondering myself, how was SK born? We see him as a child but not before. Perhaps he was the chosen one? Interesting to speculate but likely not true considering Anakin.
Anyway-
I *liked* the first game but have a feeling the second will be much richer in terms of gameplay, character development, story and etc.
(Note that I try not to watch videos or read too much info on games, so if this makes you go "yeah, duh, they said it here in this magazine" it's cos of that)

I saw him in Smallville.

Looking forward to this game!
The graphics are awesome and the new gameplay features (two lightsabers... force powers... etc.) are amazing.

Can not wait!! Looks amazing..
Cant wait till a sabersmith makes the new star killer duel sabers :o

Well, he did see his old man go toe to toe, mano-a-mano, one on one with a Jedi... and that didn't turn out too well ;D

I know when the trailer came out some people had started working on the sabers in the trailer, but I think they were redesigned for the demo played at Celebration V. I don't recall anyone working on a prop of the new version's yet.
-
Yes, the sabers that have been done so far were the original concept art. Haven't seen anyone take a crack at the new designs yet ;).
-
Really hoping someone does them soon ;)
The chrome finish looks awesome, mixed with the strapping :o

Demo is out. Downloading it now on XBox Live! 36% done! Woohoo can't wait! :D

-
Definitely need to know if it's any good! The first one was enjoyable, but there is much to be improved on.
-
I have pre ordered the full game as here in the UK aparrently it comes out on the 29th of this month can't wait to get it :D
-
this game looks awesome.... can't wait to play this! i also pre ordered a copy ;D
-
so i heard the demo is supposed to be out today but it hasnt shown up on psn yet, any reason why?? ???
-
FINALLY THE PS3 DEMO IS OUT!!!!!
-
Why must my network block PSN?!? -angst- I'll just have to wait until the 26th
-
sweetness...downloading it now...don't expect me to reply, going to free up all 6.0 mbps...darn you att/comcast for not having quicker internetz speeds in my house.
Thanks for letting me know, was playing polarity with my 4 year old :)
-
Sweet downloading the demo! I'll have the Collector's edition payed off THIS WEEK :D
-
Just played through the demo. So far, so good. Overall, it's pretty similar to the first game, but with some definite improvements, most notably DECAPITATION! I'm also hoping the actual game flushes out the beginning a little bit, because the introduction seems a bit rushed. But I'll definitely be picking this up. Also, just thought I'd mention the new Starkiller sabers are pretty sweet. Someone needs to make these things. I definitely prefer them to the ones seen in the trailer.
-
Hey guys I can't find it on the ps3 store, any help?
-
Peace be upon all,
Since I have the game on pre-order, I told myself I wouldn't play the demo so that I can have the full experience of the full game -BUT.......
The demo just finished downloading and the controller is charged!
the Force was weak in me on this one :-[
looking forward to the feedback
now I'm waiting to hear about any Lucasarts sponsored launch parties in my area 8)
-Bin Adam
-
Hey guys I can't find it on the ps3 store, any help?
I found it under 'whats new' are you in the USA or out of the country? Reason I ask is because certain demo's only give provided for certain countries :(
The download took me about 2 hours, only took me 30 minutes to play through the demo in regular mode...so now its on to hard and 'unleashed!' :)
-
In Australia. I'll try again later. What date is the full game out?
-
10/25 here in the States. Of course a day I'll be out of town working >:(
-
Tried the demo: it was of the hook!!!
I actually felt unleashed (especially in force fury mode). Aiming is still a little funny though. I wish we could aim with the right analog instead of the direction starkiller is facing.
-
i found the repulse ability to be very overpowered(in a good way) in the demo to point where i just spammed it in hard mode but then again it was upgraded to level 3 in the demo so im wondering how it will be downgraded when you start off with level 1 powers
-
I couldn't find the demo either. I am from Germany. I wonder if it is not released here.
-
I played through the demo yesterday morning, and let me say that I LOVE the darker tone of this new game. TFU I had it's dark moments sure, but with lines of dialog in this game stating to some storm troopers when you use the mind trick ability "your life is a lie", only to watch them state "I can't do this anymore" and commit suicide by jumping out a high rise window, SWEET!!!!!! I guess I'm a little twizted, what can I say ;D . The demo on the whole seemed Awesome, the only thing that I could notice, was that the graphics seemed slightly different from TFU I, and it didn't seem to be an improvement :-\ . Now granted this is the demo, and I could simply be imagining things, but I can't shake this feeling, like they "cartoonized" the graphics just slightly more than the last game. The lightsaber's also seemed to be dimmer, or less in volume diameter as compared to the last game's "normal blade mode" (as compared to the pulse, and unstable modes). Now maybe this is to further demonstrate the difference between the standard crystals and the more advanced crystals (pulse, and unstable) later in the game, or maybe I'm just being a little to picky ;) . Who know's, here's to looking forward to a GREAT GAME here in a couple of weeks.
P.S. I really hope they put "Mind Trick" or "Force Confusion" (as I saw it in KOTOR II), into TOR, it is just endlessly satisfying to watch random troopers commit suicide, as well as to sick powerful enemies against their support troops. "Your life is a lie" LMAO!!!!!! that never gets old.
-
I've decided not to download the demo as when I played the demo for the first one it just made me uncontrolably excited about getting the full game so I'm trying for some restraint this time :D
-
The force mind trick addition was pretty sweet, I remember telling a stormtrooper 'Get out while there is still time' THen he goes to an edge and said something along the lines of, "I have to escape' before jumping. I Also had one of the shock troopers attack their allies with the force trick, definetly going to be a fun skill to use.
-
I thought it was pretty cool overall, nice use of lighting, combos felt much smoother, mechanics felt tighter overall, only 3 major gripes for me:
1. The lock on camera and mechanic is still not very responsive/useful
2. They hardly used DMM as much as in the first (which was not enough to begin with imo)
3. The block mechanics seemed a little rushed also I would have liked to chain a combo strait out of a block (like NGS or DMC)
Other than that, the game rocks, can't wait until the 26th!
-
Did anyone else notice that the camera controls were a little annoying? Every time your character moved, the camera moved with it, it isn't stable like in games like MGS4. This made it even more difficult to control the grip, and I had a hard time trying to grip objects that had already been gripped before, like I threw a box then couldn't grip it again. Again, like the 1st game, lock on is useless. DMM: I liked the first game's first level, where you could do a force push or repulse and all these wires would fly out of the ceiling... they need more DMM objects. But I do like it how we can walk while blocking. And this game seems to be getting more and more similar to God of War...
-
Gonna download the demo after work today.... I'll give my thoughts after the initial (and not last playthrogh ;D) later tonight... This made my day, can't wait to get home!
-
ok....have played the demo numerous times and I LOVE IT!!! the graphics in my opinion r amazing, the double lightsabers r def a win in my book, this game looks to be a major winner to me since i loved the first one....my only complaint is what most peoples r, the targeting system, every time i wanna target a crate or something to throw, it usually targets the enemy but its really no biggie, so i def advise any star wars lover to try it out ;D
-
Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, but the demo is just that, a demo, work in progress. I 'd like to take the positive road here, and hope that they'll work out all of the complaints and issues with the demo, by the time they hit the final beta testing stage, and that the full game will be much better tailored to the player than the demo. From what I saw of the demo vids and pics, think it's gonna be great!
-
Just played through the demo, and I am completely psyched for this game now..... ;D This taste of whats to come has def proven to be a total tease for me... I def like what I am seeing so far... Loving that double saber throw, and dismemberments...
-
Yea the dismemberment are a hearken back to JK 2, classic. Still not sure I'll pay retail with how short the gameplay in 1 was but maybe...
-
Just finished the demo, and i loved it. I think i'll pick up the collectors edition from gamestop
-
does anyone know how to select "unleashed" when selecting the difficulty level cuz ive already played easy, medium, and hard and now want to try unleashed but its in red and wont let me select, was just wondering if its not able yet cuz this is just a demo or if i have to unlock something
-
I would think that is unavailable due to being a demo... Theres alot of other things you can't do in the upgrades screens...
-
amazing demo!
I went and pre-ordered the collector's edition from GS right after finishing it. Now I just have to wait...only 9 days....only 9 days...
-
Finished paying off the Collector's Edition, I'm going to be playing this game ALL WEEK, seriously, my friend Danny always comes over on weekends, but he's blowing me off for Fable 3 and then invites me to come over and watch him play, psh, whatever, TFU2 CE!!!!!!!!
-
I enjoyed the demo thoroughly! just so blown away by the graphics...
Can't wait for this one!
-
Demo was very short, but dammmmnnnnnn the graphics have definately been upgraded. Looks amazing. Starkillers new sabers look SWEET!!!
-
Have you seen the little 10-15 second spot on TV that just showed up in the last couple of days? I think I saw it on FX, but it opens with Vader being blasted through like 3 walls. He stands up, ignites his saber, then the scene pans through the hole Vader just made onto Starkiller, as he ignites both his sabers!
-
I Cannot wait for this to come out. G

Found some good clips, so I thought I'd enjoy

I cant wait to play this!! I'm getting a PS3 next month, so I have to wait even longer! :(

It does look pretty bad potato chips.

Looks like alot of people will be stuck to the consoles here in about a week. Preordered as well but just the basic game. Wasnt sure about the Collecters Edition. Been playing with my sabers alot more recently and cant wait for Halloween weekend.

I loved the first one (on Wii). I can't wait for this one, but alas, I'll have to wait for Christmas. The wife finds my habit of buying things for myself near Christmas <Vader>disturbing</Vader>. Too bad Wii doesn't do HD.
I didn't read all 15 pages of this thread, but here's some useless info for you that may or may not be buried in here. There's a comedy series on YouTube called Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager. The premise is that Chad is Darth Vader's younger brother and he is a manager at a grocery store. It's stupid funny which is the kind of humor I like. Anyway, the fellow (Matt Sloan) who does Vader's voice (not the fellow in the costume) so impressed the folks at LucasArts when they saw some episodes of Chad that they hired him. He's the one who does Darth's Voice in both Force Unleashed games as well as a few others.
If you have some time to waste, check out Chad Vader. Here's the link to season one: [ Invalid YouTube link ]&s=1 . There are three seasons with about 8 or so episodes each.

Agreed, I am looking for a job right now, but...... ;D I don't think I will be able to help myself, he he lol. I CAN NOT WAIT to play this game!!! The story looks AMAZING!!! Just got to doge the Mrs. lol, cause I'm sure she'll give me hard core heck for this I'm sure :o .
Time to put on the Dark Lord's Outfit and Scare Little Children, Muuuhahahahahaha, God I love Halloween ;D
-
I just got thru playing the demo...
I don't know if it's just me, but the grafix/effects for his lightsaber blades look.... I guess, plain? Kinda like blue sticks? Maybe it's because I used the Unstable Crystals alot on the first game, but I remember even the regular lightsaber in TFU 1 looking , thicker and more lightsaberish?
Thoughts?
Either way, I'm still can't wait to get my hands on it. I am having a sad tho, because I leave for a work trip in a few hours and won't be back to play it till saturday next week. Figures I hit the Midnight Gamestop launch for every game I get (Battlefield BC2, MW2, Fallout, Halo Reach) but the TFU 2 midnight release, which is the one I want the most, I am not arround for :'( . Oh well...
-
My wife had surprised me and preordered the game and I received it this morning from FedEx.
I must say I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I still don't like the fact that if Starkiller is close to an edge and in the middle of combos, he will continue to walk off the edge. Never liked that about the first game, as sometimes you get surrounded or pushed onto an edge and when you start hammering out the combos, you unwittingly fall off.
The graphics are ridiculously awesome. I have enjoyed grabbing Tie Fighters out of midair and crumpling them, as well as AT-STs.
I have to find out what happened to my MaulKiller download, as my package seems to be missing it. Instead I received some download for the costume that looks like the "cylons".
It should be an interesting week. Man, and I have projects due too. Ah well ...
-
That's not fair :( we can't get ours until midnight :D.
-
I just realized that most of the sites say the pre-orders are being shipped the 26th, which would be tomorrow. I wonder if they shipped mine early on accident?
Did anyone else get theirs too?
The game is awesome so far. I didn't want to stop playing earlier. Hopefully the storyline keeps pace with the game and it doesn't end in some "wonky" or rushed manner like I feel the first one was in some aspects.
-
Seems like it did get shipped to you early. Nice! I don't get to play it till Friday when I get home from my trip. That's not fair at least u get I at midnight Luminara!
-
I just saw the new commercial on TV... And I'm reminded of how DEAD my PS3 is. :'(. Time to replace the laser, I guess.
-
I haven't pre-ordered a game in a while. I'm more of a walk-in and buy guy now. Hopefully there will be one Gamestop with at least one copy, lol.
-
I just got mine a few hours ago, right now im looking at the intro, Niiiiiiiice.
-
Anyone know if Walmart will be selling it at midnight? I was going to go to my local gamestop and get it, but all they are selling is the regular edition and I want a collector's edition. 8)
*edit
Got the CE from Wal-Mart! First in line! Woohoo!
-
Pre-ordered the game about a month ago... along with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Not even going to mess with going to the store tonight. I'll probably be one of the first in the morning though ;D
-
,just got past the intro on mine. its sweeeet
-
Just had an E-mail saying that it has been dispatched and will take 3-5 days but normaly I've found that after I've had an E-mail like that it arrives the next day so fingers crossed I will be playing it tomorrow HE HE ;D I can't wait
-
FYI- Newegg.com has TFU2 for xbox and ps3 for $49.99 and free shipping (and no tax in most place)
with promo code EMCZYNT22.
They ship incredibly fast.
-
Did anyone else order from WalMart? That's where my wife ordered it from and I guess that's the reason I received mine a day before anyone else?
She ordered it from there because of the $10 online store credit, which I thought was cool.
It turns out it didn't come with the MaulKiller code, but I"m pretty sure in a couple of months we'll be able to download that off of the SonyStore, like all the other downloadable stuff for original TFU.
-
Wow.... This game is getting medium, to bad reviews... :-\ I know the first didn't get great reviews either, but I had high hopes for this... I picked it up, but can't play till tmrw.... I loved the first one, we shall have to see....
-
Seeing user scores around 7.5 - and critics scores around 8-8.5, which was better then the original with 7.00 user scores and critics scores around 7.0-7.5.
I'll have to wait awhile to pick the game up myself, might trade something for it with a friend when he is done.

The review at ign.com wasn't too encouraging and I usually trust them. I think like with the first I will wait until it is $20-25
-
Going to go pick up my Collector's Edition copy right now! (hops on bike)
-
Just got the call saying it is in store and ready to be picked up.. (runs to car)
-
When I heard that Hayden had quit Lucasarts I wondered if perhaps it was because TFU II was being taken in a direction he didn't want to be associated with any longer...and had concern this might mean a less than stellar [pun intended] game...from the reviews I've seen it seems those fears were justified :(
I hope TFU III [if there is one] makes up for any shortcomings in this one.
-
After two days of playing, I'll say it seems they attempted to fix some of the interface problems of the first one. I haven't had too many complaints.
Although, I still don't like the touchy camera views. Even when I'm "locked onto" a target using my R1 key, I find there's many times I needlessly have to rotate my camera around to find the enemy or the next one.
They still didn't take the model of God of War in this aspect, as I had hoped they would. GoW had the least amount of interface/camera issues of any game I've played.
The plot line isn't really wrapping me up in it like I had hoped. I'm not sure if its just unfolding real slow for me, but I'm a little disappointed thus far.
Some things don't make sense, such as the original intro where he's entering the arena. Perhaps he revisits this area later in the game, but the giant monster that I fought looked nothing like the one on the commercial. It also doesn't look like Starkiller is using the lightsabers we've come to expect in TFU2. I'm only at the Invasion of Kamino though, so who knows.
I had hoped the visit to Dagobah would explain some more things about the cave, but it didn't. That was a let down. I had hoped it would explain the "dark side taint" a bit more there in Dagobah that allowed the planet to mask Yoda's presence, but eh...
I also don't understand the one trailer where Vader enters the prison area and says that the apprentice is of no use to him, and tells the troopers to kill him. The lights go out... Nothing like the intro. I wonder if this was just done to strike an interest in the game, or we will actually see this.
I don't like the idea of having trailers that have nothing to do with the game. Seems kind of cheesy to me.
Game has caused my PS3 to lock up on two different occasions. Hopefully they will have an update put out to fix these little bugs.
Overall, I'm glad I didn't spend the money on the Collector's Edition. It's a decent game. But like I said, I'm all about the plot line and so far it doesn't seem very enticing.
-
i am sad to say i have to agree with the above comment....got the collectors edition today and played it for about an hour or so and im already on the last level :/.....incredibly short game to a major gamer....the graphics imo are beautiful, i think its a def up since the last one, story isnt as great as i thought itd be which really sucks cuz i loved the first ones story....it seems to me that the creators focused to much on combat and not enough about story and characters....the inclusion of boba fett and yoda r somewhat pointless to be honest, u see yoda for about 2 minutes and boba, well about the same, i really hyped myself up for this game ALOT and as much as i hate to say it, it hasnt really brought expections to me but idk maybe u all will find it better than i have, im not sayin this game sucks or anything of that nature but it really could have been alot better than what we have perceived it to be
-
Well, I just finished beating the game. If you are buying the game for the story I would suggest a rental instead. The entire story could be described in less than this comment I am posting. You could easily beat the game in 6-8 hours. I for one bought the game because I love the over the top ridiculous action sequences. Even after reading all the reviews on how short the game was and lack of story, I don't regret picking up the collectors edition one bit. There were countless times where I thought "Wow, that was freaking awesome".
-
Unleash Truth!!!!!!!!! Well sort of :-\ lol, Is He a Clone??? Is He Not a Clone??? This Dark Lord is Confused :-\ but as a whole: AMAZING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Short Game :-\ lol, but still Amazing!!!!!!!!!
Personally, I LOVED that they stuck more to Starkiller's story than that which dealt with the Rebel Alliance. We know what happened in regards to the Rebel's, I am FAR MORE INTERESTED in what happened with Starkiller. You learn to TRULY HATE Vader, more than you ever did before (and this guy slaughtered a room full of toddlers :-X , it's hard to out do that lol. Also being a Sith Lord, and favoring Passion above all else; more than any character in Star Wars before him Starkiller has something to FIGHT FOR, and I LOVE Revenge stories!!! The only thing I am really disappointed with, was the lack of explanation regarding Starkiller being a clone or not :-\ . This was something that I was truly looking forward to uncovering while I was driving home from Gamestop getting ready to plug TFU II into my 360, and then I play through the whole game, and nada :-\. I think it's pretty obvious that they are going to make a TFU III, especially from the way TFU II ended. I'm guessing that Starkiller (clone or not) will die permanently in the end of TFU III, because to leave him alive, while Luke goes about his journey in the Episode IV time era, just wouldn't make since at all, considering we never hear anything about Starkiller in IV, V, or VI. I will be HIGHLY LOOKING FORWARD to TFU III, it should be a FANTASTIC GAME like it's two predecessors before it.
I thought it was halarious, that the first achievement I got for my 360 version of the game was "Poor Bob" ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not look at the requirements for getting any achievements before playing, I just jumped right into the story. To get this achievement, you have to grap a storm trooper with the force, impale him with your lightsabers, shock him, then throw him up against an object of some kind. Considering I did this all on my own, I know I am definitely playing for the right team ;D
-
Just got done playing the first level and I REALLY enjoyed it...more so than the first. I need to DL my Maul Killer and Lightsaber I got for pre-ordering it from Gamestop. Overall, very impressed so far.
-
Huh, and to think I was gonna finally get an xbox. Guess that part of the wish list can drop a few more spaces. Mostly to play halo, but TFU can work too.
For stories in games, they're nice. Although I still prefer paper media, there have been a few games that kept me in the storyline (dark forces/jedi knight series, halo, Carmen San-Diego... ::)). But they still didn't answer the clone or no, eh? They could kill him off, and most likely will. (I still think clone. They did say he was dead in TFU1...of course, isn't reanimation possible with sith alchemy? debate for another time lol) I can think of a few storylines to keep him alive all the way into legacy era if need be, without screwing the established original trilogy and other expanded universe material.
-
Total disappointment in the story line.
WAY too short.
Kamino and the rebel ship... way too long of sequences.
The "trailers" from the official website... very misleading to what actually transpired in game play.
Droids with big shields - wayyyyyyy too many.
Graphics... outstanding.
Combat... definitely improved over the first game.
-
I just started doing the challenges in the game and all I can say is its extremely frustrating. I'm on an Xbox 360 and have tried playing with both the disc as well as having it installed. There is a frame rate freeze almost every 10 seconds. Trying to pull off a platinum on the first challenge is difficult for me since when the game locks up its hard to tell where you are in a combo. Is anybody else having frame rate problems in the game?

i know that but not for that bit

Go to the side with the engine and shoot it with lightning to turn it on. It'll start to heat the big piece of metal. Make your way to the other side. If my memory serves me correctly, this is when you have to fight a giant junk monster. When you finish that, go to the other side and use the force to bend the big piece of metal, which you can now do because it's hot. Bend it into a bridge and you're done. Hope this helps.
-
i will try it later but just thinking the engine is on when i got in there already i think
-
As I recall, it is on when you get there. When you shoot it with lightning, it throws it into afterburner!
-
And the fact that this thread is for TFU2 and we have other threads for the original ... ::)
Finished the game since I was sick at home.
1) Storyline ... Worse than the first. As IGN said, it seemed like they shoehorned a plot in there just to make a second game
2) Vader Fight ... So pathetically easy it wasn't even funny. I was nowhere near danger of dying. Maybe you have to be on "Unleashed" Difficulty for it to be a challenge
Fighting ... severely repetitious. I understand they dialed back the types of enemies in an attempt to make each enemy more difficult, making the AI "smarter". However, the only time I felt there was a challenge was when I had to deal with overwhelming odds. And in those spots, I simply used a Regeneration crystal and a Life Drain Crystal and my health meter powered back up quickly after a few Dashes to avoid incoming attacks. The AI in my opinion was not smarter, in fact I thought it was easier.
"Oh look, it's a cylon looking thing." Run up and grapple it. "Oh look, it's a metal guy with a shield." Disarm shield and force lightning. When I saw the numerous interviews with the game designers and such and they described an enhanced AI, I was hoping for one that would adapt on the fly. Actually "think".
I'm hoping that the Artificial Intelligence that Microsoft is currently testing to put on the processor chips for the military will be much smarter ... oops did I mention that? Long live Cyberdyne ;)
3) Graphics ... the ONLY thing I was amazed at. The creativity of the designers was amazing, however the levels were needlessly long at times and you could tell they simply copy/pasted other parts of the map to lengthen the level. However, when designers focus on Graphics to the detriment of other parts of the game, it has always seemed to fail. i.e. Call of Duty 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Everquest 2, etc.
I'm hoping they plan on doing a lot of downloadable content for this game to make up for the lack of play time. Severely disappointed here. I know it's sometimes a matter of Quality versus Quantity, but here I believe it was lacking in both. There is definitely not a lot of motivation to replay the game. I'd rather replay God of War 3 for the 5th time. :D
-
BTW, didn't someone say the Starkiller sabers in the game are different from the ones in all the trailers and such? Anyone have pics, because I can't find them. Thought I had seen someone post them on the forum here somewhere, but can't find them now.
-
yeah i know its for tfu 2, but i wanted to know now not in a week,no need to cry all is finished now
thanks for the help

Forgive the quality of the game pics... they were taken with the phone camera (I don't have any capture software for the xbox). You can still see clearly, they are not the same sabers.
From one of the trailers:

**edited for clicky
-
I, personally, like the trailer version better. Tattosby5 on ebay (I know, bad rep) has the in game saber for sale
-
I've only played through once, I'm working on the second time now. I'll be looking again, but it looked to me like there might be two different hilts that appear through the game.
-
I beat it on the Unleashed Mode today, mostly to get the "Jedi Grand Master" achievement ;) (I like notoriety ;D ). It was slightly more challenging on Unleashed, but not by much, there were only a couple of parts that I had to really focus hard on to beat. Where as with TFU I, I had to focus pretty much the whole way through the game to beat it on Sith Master (which I did ;D ), especially on the battle with Kazdan Paratis, that little guy packs a mean punch on Sith Master difficulty :-\ .
As far as the sabers, honestly I never liked the concept sabers, but when I saw the sabers in the actual game, I found myself wishing that TCSS would make some MHS parts like these, especially the blade holder (OMG!!!!!!! AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!) One of these days, I am going to have to order me one of those sabers, whenever one of the smiths decides to do a run on them.
(P.S. Note to all Sabersmiths thinking about doing a run on these, please don't make it to where we have to buy 2 at a time, God knows 1 of those beautiful sabers will be expensive enough :-\ ).
-
Was it all duel-wielding? Or could you choose how many sabers to use at certain points in the game, like the customization in TFU I?
-
kinda disappointed.
I mean you play through once and you get that wow factor when you hit some of the spectacular scenes, and the graphics and combat are amazing. And then you abruptly end up at the end of the game and say WTH!
The story almost had no depth and was just kind of weird, it was hokey no matter what ending you choose.
I liked it but cannot for the life of me figure out at what point they were all sitting in some conference room reading this script aloud and said "This is good!" Cuz it aint. Could have been epic and yet again falls short.
AND a big WTH to only being able to visit 2 planets, cuz dagobah doesn't count.
-
Personally I'm satisfied with the game. The over all handling for the game itself is much more improved compared to the first one. The moves are more improved and it's easier to fight with two single bladed sabers than one. Vader is more or less a pain to beat in this one.
Obviously the light side ending is the correct ending to choose and the way how it ends it won't surprise me if they make a third game for The Force Unleashed.
-
They always choose the lightside ending. With this ending (spoilered myself :P) I think it would work better with the dark side ending. Vader captured? Come on. He may not be as powerful as he once was, but the whole TFU storline makes Vader look like a pansy IMO. Unless they do something like " the was the plan all along"
-

I personally find it annoying that they always choose the light side ending, a great case and point KOTOR I: HOLY BLANK!!!!! (Family Friendly ;D ), THE DARK SIDE ENDING WHERE Darth Revan Rules the Galaxy is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! Instead we get, oh yay....... you saved the galaxy, heres a medal (then the Yoda looking guy comes over and says) hey Revan, time for my sponge bath lol.
(Spoiler) Even though I die at the end of the Dark Side ending, it still feels more like Star Wars. I'm sorry, let's go over the facts here, you killed my father, you have tortured me MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE!!!!!!! You just threw my Love out the window (oh and NO WAY IN BLANKING BLANK DID SHE SURVIVE THAT) to her death, and I have my saber at your throat, hmmmmm decisions...... decisions......... (oh in my game I cut him in to little pieces already ;D lol). Yeah your gonna let him survive....... right........ and oh lets take him prisoner, REALLY!?!?!?!?!? Darth Vader........ well okay but just to fare warn you, I think I saw Boba Fett behind you over there....... oh whats that, Boba already rescued Vader and they Lived Happily Ever After, yeah what ever lol.
Can George just DIE ALREADY and leave this beautiful Dream that he has DESTROYED BEYOND RECOGNITION (we can't even identify it with dental records at this point lol) to someone that will nurture and take care of it, and treat it with the dignity and respect it deserves!?!?!?!? Oh and just one other request, Jar Jar tortured and impaled on the sarlacc's teeth, is that really to much to ask ;)
-
I thought they said that The Force Unleashed 3 was canceled?? Which really pissed me off with how the game ends if that information is true and they don't make another one.
-
Just got the game this morning and I have played it all through with both endings and I can see what peeps are saying but the general game it's self I loved, I just loved the OTT force powers and the fact that Starkiller is an excellent swordsman to give him 2 sabers was just the cherry on top, the ending most deffo could have been worked on a bit more but it does leave it open for nurmorus way's for TFU 3 to play out for example they could do a twist where you could find out that the Vader thay have captured is a clone himself and the real Vader is tracking them with Boba on that last scene.
All in all I thoughly enjoyed this game and I will probably be playing it again and again ;D
-
So I finished the game on medium yesterday after playing it on easy the first time. Read reviews from GameSpot or IGN, for I wholeheartedly concur.
The plot was DEFINITELY shoe horned in for the sake of creating a sequel. What really peeved me about TFU II was that the only answer you get to the great question (Am I really Starkiller or just another clone?) is "Does it really matter?" OF COURSE IT MATTERS!!! Fans have be wanting to know this ever since they caught wind of a possible TFU sequel! It's a total cop out! Not to mention that TFU II Starkiller just accepts that he is a clone from the get go, possible saying that the game developers want the player to accept this as well. A detail forcefully shoved down my throat? No thank you. Anyway, instead of focusing on uncovering the truth for plot's sake, Starkiller (II) only wants to find Juno, which is fine except for two things: 1) Finding Juno does not solve anything. 2) Juno has such a bit part in the game, she might as well be considered a cameo appearance.
So yeah, visuals, acting and (some of the) combat I'm ok with. What I'm not ok with is the limited plot, overall mystery that has yet to be solved, and the way too short gameplay. Five hours is the average. Really!
Though I don't quite regret buying TFU II instead of just renting it as many say you should, I pray that the DLC will make up for the lack of deep plot. Doubtful, but I hope.
(Spoilers!!!!!)
The good ending was a total ??? moment. Capture and interrogate Darth Vader?! The Dark Lord that even Jedi Masters Obi-wan and Yoda choose to hide from?! Since when has the task of capturing Lord Vader become easier than a milk run?
If anyone has read the chapter entitled 'Purge' in the Dark Horse graphic novel Clone Wars: vol .9, then you know how difficult this task really is. Eight Jedi tried to do this and all ended up dead in minutes! The Good Ending to TFU II is nothing but lollipops and candy canes.
The dark side ending isn't that much better either. Starkiller (II) is about to kill vader when suddenly a red saber blade appears through his chest. A cloaked figure appears behind him. Starkiller drops to the ground. The mysterious sith quickly duals Kota before force pushing him and the rebel troops into the open Kamino sea. Vader reveals to the dying Starkiller that he lied when he said the cloning process had not be perfected. The cloaked figure then removes his hood, revealing that the figure is another starkiller clone, but one who has embraced the dark side fully. Vader then sends Darth Starkiller to steal the Rogue Shadow and search the galaxy for the remaining Rebels and destroy them.
Overall opinion: Good game if your either bored or pissed off, but that's pretty much all it's worth.
-
One thing I noticed when playing through the Challenges. You begin to unlock cinematics and it seems like with the cinematics, the Dark Side ending would be the "Canon" ending.
The very last one, where Vader tells Starkiller his training is almost complete and that he will face something at the top of the Spire.
I'm trying to figure out how that would fit in to the storyline. I wonder if its possible that in this case, the Dark Side ending is in fact complete, and when Vader is telling Starkiller about this last test at the top of the spire, maybe it's him killing the last vestiges of his past ... Juno and the "Good" clone?
I'm just confused trying to figure out why the developers would make the cinematics important enough to have to unlock, yet figure out how it fits in with the storyline.
Any thoughts?
-
I agree it definitely seems like the darkside ending fits best. It makes much more sense to me at least.
you know what i never got? Why, with these graphics and force powers, did they never add a multiplayer to the 360 and PS3 version. When the ROTS game came out the game itself was rubbish but the multiplayer was mildly entertaining.
-
Ok guys, no offense to all of you, for I too am a VERY hardcore gamer. I WAS really impressed by the level of detail and such added to the game, yes some parts of the game were just annoying, I was really hoping to fight boba, I was really hoping that Yoda would be a much bigger appearance than he was, but all in all, I was still very satisfied, I played through the game on medium, and they kept with the normality of TFU 1 but did add to the overall fun, in TFU 1 it was just stormtroopers in different costumes and models, in TFU 2 yes it WAS A LOT THE SAME but what brought the fun was that the AT-ST, RT-ST, Wardroid 1 (Carbonite), and Wardroid 2 (Fire), proved to be a very worthy adversary (even if they became bantha fodder by the end of the game!)
You all have your opinions about the ending, IE that the good ending was bad because they captured Vader so easily, now let's remember the gameplay here for a second: You shocked the power right out of vader, chopped off his hand, shocked him again (while all in force fury mode!) and plus lets remember that Starkiller also brought down an entire Star Destroyer like it was a regular old dropship, where as that had only been completed once, and that it was done by many jedi channeling their power into another jedi who was burned up in the process! So I am amazed at how Vader was defeated but I'm not amazed that he WAS defeated. Vader must have been terribly tired after the duel (IE after his duel with Obi-Wan he couldn't concentrate enough Force power to protect himself from the lava/fire right behind him) Vader is not superhuman/cyborg by any means, and he was forced to use Force Lightning by the end of the fight.
I will embrace the ending of this game because it was overall terribly fun and for all we know this could have TONS of DLC headed our way! They could easily add on more to the story than just make another game, the ending for the light side was sort of boring but I'm glad that I got the game. Also for those of you who don't think they answered the clone question: Remember the Clones you fought during your fight with vader? They were all imperfect. Yes that still leaves a wide margin for other explanations (IE they were rushed bla bla bla). Anyways my rating of the game is:
4/5

I think Lucas arts is saving multiplayer for the mmo coming out later (hopefully) this year. A console game, even though not billed as an mmo, would have satisified a lot of gamers thirst to portray themselves in an online universe as a jedi/sith. Although I think it would have been hard/boring to make an interesting game where everyone is running around fighting with lightsabers only with all the same combo's/powers. It would quickly turn into a button masher :(
-
Ok so after having the game for two nights I finished it on hard and of course I chose the dark side ending...
Yes the game is very short but thats why you don't chose 'easy', you want to be challenged by a game...
I am now going through it on 'unleashed' and it makes for such better game play, having to use blocks, dashes, force and saber combos to get through the levels... It makes the 'short' game seem somewhat longer and more enjoyable.
The ps3 trophies seem a little too easy to get thou, and although I have only tried a couple of challenges, that also makes the game better value for money.. Like in Gd of War, once the game is finished you can still continue on and battle the challenges.
And as someone stated earlier the camera was much better in GoW... well thats simple, it was because the camera was set, but TFU2 is a free roaming camera, after turning the camera sensitivity up I found it much better to look around.
Oh and another neat thing I found, when you stand on the spot untill your sabers retract, you can then use the strafe(R1) button to power up and down your saber ;D
Pros:
- Graphics
- Gameplay
- OTT Force Powers
- Vader standing up to the punishment
- Saber Colours
- Great Fun
Cons:
- Story seemed to have corners cut
- No power crystals, different coloured sabers had different powers ??? and worse.. Red Sabers = No Power Bonus ???
- Sheild carrying droids ::) and lack of different enemies compared to TFU
- Too much gameplay in one location... In TFU1 it seemed starkiller went all over the galaxy, in TFU2 not much really happens
- The MASSIVE monster battle.... Trailers made it seem a whole lot more epic.
- It appears Starkiller can fly :-\
All in all I LOVE THIS GAME...
I really wish the two games were made into a movie... It would be AMAZING!
SPOILER: I like how the dark side ending shows that there was a perfect clone, and I truely believe starkiller was not a clone, but simply lied to by vader in order to keep him by his side
-
Well, which brings me again back to my point.
Perhaps the Dark Side ending, combined with the cinematics you unlock IS the canon ending.
I mean, it would make sense why the developers limited the types of levels. Escape from Kamino, The Arena, The Salvation, back to Kamino.
Vader tells the Clone in the cinematics his final test is atop the Spire.
Vader purposefully has Boba Fett bring Juno BACK to Kamino, where he must face Vader atop the Spire.
The Dark Side ending, the clone kills Starkiller as Juno dies, atop the Spire.
All positive memories are driven from Starkiller's past in the new clone and Vader has a success.
Does this possibility make sense to anyone else? It's the only way I can get the storyline to mesh.
-
I havn't even seen the light side yet but the dark does make a bit of sense...
I have one question...
Where is The Emperor???

His ipod broke, and the Emperor just can't order the destruction of planets without his toons ;D. However, it came preloaded with the song: "like a G6" and the Emperor destroyed the ipod, and the vendor for his insolence (at selling him an ipod with such a terrible song preloaded) lol.

we may see him in the DLC or should I say "DLC"
because its not actually downloadable content. its just a downloadable code to unlock the content
that is already on the disc.

I find it reprehensible that they are going to try and pass off DLC as part of a disc I already purchased.
I will make sure that I try to find one of the guys either at my college or online that can crack the disc and give me access to the content i ALREADY paid to have in the first place.
That's total B.S.

I get to kill EWOKS!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I GET TO KILL WHAT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE in ROTJ, and KILLED THE ENTIRE MOVIE FOR ME, now that just turns a frown upsidedown ;D
-
Part that I think is funny is how they will work it in to the storyline. If the Death Star 2 is in the sky as described, then the Starkiller Clone had been alive the whole time during episode 4-6?!?
And if that isn't true, and it happens before that ... and Han, Leia, and Ewoks are being battled on Endor ... then why would Carrie Fisher and Han be surprised the first time they see the little furballs in the movie???
I just see another shoehorned plot line being forced down our throats. ::)
-
I've been thinking, and I think the lightside works out better. With the dark side ending, you have an evil clone that still has to hunt down the rebels. How does this make sense, when the empiire's been trying to do that already? Something tells me this is just a ploy by vader and palpy again to kills the rebel leaders.
But the game can only give a small sense of it for me, so I'm going to read the book, which I've seen in the past novelizations of SW games are considered more cannon storywise. Think we will get a better impression of the story. Same was for TFU1. Watched the credits, and the "love" Juno and Galen have seems to happen too quick. Read the book, made so much more sense.
And on the weak Vader angle angain, it's annoying for me too, but Luke did alright on his own, remember?
-
Just another question/point of view on the story line... how do we know that Juno was killed?
Could that have been a droid with her image? Or worse, a clone?
If it was a droid, I'm thinking the image would have faded upon her "death" like in the opening sequence. But if it was a clone it would not have. Vader did have her captured once before... thus, he would have had plenty of time to "grow" a clone.
How they would ever involve Endor will be interesting. The rebels only went down there when it involved the shield. Maybe Starkiller will be part of some exploratory group for a location of the 2nd Death Star?
-
Koza,
The only issue that is becoming apparent, and why it's making it seem like the Dark Side ending is canon, is this unlocked material for Endor and whatnot. To me, it leans towards the Dark Side.

In TFU 1 the "DLC" was for the point of view of the emperor's new apprentice, you went to tatooine and hoth and fought obi wan and young luke. One can only assume that in TFU 2, the "DLC" will be as the sith version of starkiller again, going to endor and (hopefully) fighting Han Solo and Chewbaca, and (hopefully) fighting Jedi Luke before he gets to the throne room.... that would be epic
-
That's a good point. Quite possible. They did have the DLC of the added Jedi Temple level which was part of the canon line too.
Still irked that people will have to pay for things that are on the disc they already purchased. I'm wondering how long it will be before someone is cracking the unlock and posting it on the internet for the content that is finished.
Then of course, you'll have Sony and everyone else making a mad dash to "update" your systems to counter the hack. LOL...
-
after reading all you posts the game seems like a big let down :( guess ill pick it up when the price drops also did you guys ever run into maris brood? after all she never died in the first game i always thought she was an interesting character
-
From what I saw, the DLC hacked in TFU2 is the bonus unlocks from pre-ordering. Follow the "neogaf" link in that article. The two skins and saber colors, for example, you get when you order from gamestop(maulkiller w/silver blades) or got the collector's editon(deak starkiller maqurie concept w/ yellow blades). The CE also came with challenge levels, and some other places had preorder specials which were supposed to be extra challange levels. Amazon supposedly had one or two, one of them being a degobah.
I do agree that it might lean toward the dark side ending, but those could also just be fan service for the already done sith edition from TFU1, or just preorder specials with no signifigance. The again, maybe not. We'll just have to see how the writers work it out.
-
I find it reprehensible that they are going to try and pass off DLC as part of a disc I already purchased.
I will make sure that I try to find one of the guys either at my college or online that can crack the disc and give me access to the content i ALREADY paid to have in the first place.
That's total B.S.

Agreed, all the data on the "hacked DLC info" appears to be all the character molds/models and costumes, challenge maps, saber cystals that you need various preorder codes/collecters ed codes to unlock. I don't think anyone will be "hacking in and cracking the codes" anytime soon, other wise they would have done it for games past. I'm no programmer by far, but it appears to me with all the people getting mad about "having to pay a 2nd time for items that are already on the disc they paid for, just not unlocked" is a bit silly. It is easier to put character model and map model info on the disc, so that the "unlock download" can be smaller and only contain the code for using the info on disc. Seems logical to me. I'd rather pay 400 MS points for a 4 min 900 MB download to my harddrive, then 400 MS points for a 25 min download of 2.8 GB to my hard drive for the Hoth Level on TFU 1. IMO

No Maris Big Boss.
Lots of unanswered questions for the players though! >:( ::)
-
Btw, anyone findthe dark thunder cinematic yet? Adds to the dilema of whether dark or light ending, but general acceptance is the light side ending. Either way, there's stil the dilemia of........ him. Of course, with this I'd prefer the light side ending. Seems to me would give more depth to the story. Remember, this takes place BEFORE the ending.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYR2q1Nzvck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYR2q1Nzvck)
Ok, so now that you've seen it, also remember what Vader said to Starkiller in the light side ending. "As long as I have her, you're still mine" or something to that effect. So, just because Vader told the dark apprentice to wait for the spire, doesn't mean the dark side is the canon. Vader's rescue? Then again, maybe ..........he makes a return for TFU3 for revenge
Just watch it, you'll understand
.....just watched that again, and remembering the cutscenes....I get like 20 story possabilities in my head. Why does that happen when I'm in writer's block writing my stories, I can of a ton for others that won't work in the story I actually am writing? Lol
-
After watching the distant thunder scenes, the darkside is definitely the canon ending, it has to be.
-
And on the weak Vader angle angain, it's annoying for me too, but Luke did alright on his own, remember?
I had the same thought myself I mean alright it was quoted about in the comics that a gang of Jedi couldn't beat Vader but lets be honest the Jedi are a bunch of tree hugging wossies that just want to sit around and talk about it rather than do something about it from the start LOL ;D, but any way if that novice Luke could beat his Daddy then I'm sure that Mr half Sith and half Jedi would whip Vaders butt easerly :)

problem with it is... they sold me half of a game that was presented with elements that are not existant in my playable retail copy.
meanwhile The code for the DLC that will be sold later is present on the retail disc at the time of release.
I mean seriously... I bought TFU1 TWICE! once on release day and the second on the release day of the sith edition. spent a total of
$110 and only sold the first edition for $15. and I consider my purchases were well spent. TFU2 however..... not so much.
can you compare the two and really feel this one is anywhere near as good as the 1st?
All Ill say about the shoehorned storyline is just that. well no.. Ill say more. usually I am driven to play a game by how compelling a story it
has. with this game, I played through knowing that the game was very short. and once I saw how little the story was developed after the escape from Kamino I was disappointed and pretty much only played through to get what little moneys worth I could from it.
All the annoying nuances and bugs from the first game are still extant in the sequel. targetting still stinks and is unreliable when fending off several opponents. there was absolutely no change in the complexity of the opponent AI the way they hyped. they would just cram several different
types of opponents withe different AI routines together. at first it was a challenge. but after a cuple of each opponent and learning how to defeat each of them.... putting them all together wasnt that hard.. and got repetative fast.
the diffeculty seemed to be derived more from the lack of intuitive control and less from well programmed oppponents and level design.
Meanwhile the epic scope of the first is cut down and we are presented with only 4 environments to play in. one of which
was hyped up before release and you dont spend more than 5 minutes there. in each of the environments there was little difference in what area you were in. they all looked the same within each level. Gone are the nice open outside areas and large hanger bays and we are left with 99% corridor play. also gone are any puzzle or diffeculty in finding how to get from the point A to point B. On Hard I beat the game in 4.5 hours. Half the time it took me to beat the first.
I think this game was intended to be epic. I think it was on the way to being epic when sometime in its development cycle lucasarts decided to either cut its funding or saw that it was going to go beyond its budget and told the devs to cut it down. probably about the time they decided to cancel the 3rd installment, and presumably the franchise.
Hacking DLC and preorder bonuses has been done before. on many games. especially on the 360.
its not about cracking the codes. its about seeing how the fact that the data is unlocked is recorded in a save file and duplicating it.
on the 360 people were unlocking the undead zombie horse in Red Dead Redemption months ago ... long before the undead expansion came out.
360 users were unlocking the preorder bonuses without the codes. all through save file hacking.
RDR is the only game I have read about only because I dont own or keep up on the 360 but I am all about RDR. but I do know save file hacking is very common with many games on the 360.
the ps3 hacking scene is just now developing. but already there are devolpments to bypass licenses on dlc from the playstation store. ,
so between the two... Id say it will be possible to unlock them. maybe before they are "released"
-
Playing it again on unleashed now, more of a challenge.. still really hate the gorlog act... but the game is still great fun.
A QUESTION: Does anyone know if hasbro will be making TFU2 action figures????

problem with it is... they sold me half of a game that was presented with elements that are not existant in my playable retail copy. True, but IMO that is 2 diff problems. 1 with DLC on the Disc, 1 with TFU2 sucking
meanwhile The code for the DLC that will be sold later is present on the retail disc at the time of release.
I mean seriously... I bought TFU1 TWICE! once on release day and the second on the release day of the sith edition. As did I. When I have the option of buying DLC over the internet for DL or on a disc , I get the Disc
spent a total of $110 and only sold the first edition for $15. and I consider my purchases were well spent.
TFU2 however..... not so much. Agreed, Never said I didn't. Instead of making a full game and having a 2nd disc with the DLC like TFU ultimate sith ed, they sold us half a game with DLC on it.
can you compare the two and really feel this one is anywhere near as good as the 1st? Absolutely not. You and I totally agree. I'm failing to see where we disagree on this.
Hacking DLC and preorder bonuses has been done before. on many games. especially on the 360. This I am totally UNAWARE of...
its not about cracking the codes. its about seeing how the fact that the data is unlocked is recorded in a save file and duplicating it. Ok then we are talking about 2 different things then. What you are refering to I know as Hard Drive hacking with a 360 Hard drive read program. Which is can be unreliable and lead to bricking your HDD or a 360 Live ban. Neither worth it IMO to try and get "Free DLC offa my already paid for Disc"
on the 360 people were unlocking the undead zombie horse in Red Dead Redemption months ago ... long before the undead expansion came out.
360 users were unlocking the preorder bonuses without the codes. all through save file hacking. I know a few people who have save file hacked and had their gammer score (achievement records) reset or had the console banned from live. What I am refering to is true DLC code hacking. so you can put in a legit code. I haven't seen and don't forsee that happening anytime soon.
RDR is the only game I have read about only because I dont own or keep up on the 360 but I am all about RDR. but I do know save file hacking is very common with many games on the 360.
so between the two... Id say it will be possible to unlock them. maybe before they are "released" Sure, but I'm not willing to risk it tho, sorry.
And to stay on topic, Thought I would wiegh in on TFU2.
I agree with everything said here, except the grafix. While yes the grafix do look better than in TFU 1, I don't (IMO) think they are blow away awesome stupendous! They are just better. Which is what you expect from a sequel. To me this game is HALO 2. and I am dissapoint. It feels like they had a deadline and were sticking to it. Then they spent too much time on grafixs and engine improvement. Took a look at the calender and said "oh no we better get moving" and barely had enuff time to stuff 4 hours of gameplay into the disc. I remember an interview way back stating that they had changed the way you "level up" and from a programing and gaming perspective made it light wieght and simpiler. I thought "awesome more room for levels and story" boy was I wrong. Although I do like they way they made the crystals for you saber able to be slotted on primary /secondary / or both, instead of just both, I feel like that is one of 4 things they got right about this game, versus 30 things they did wrong.
If you had to sum it up it really does feel like someone in a board room said, "well he used 1 reverse grip saber in the first game, so if in this game he uses 2 reverse grip sabers, this game is twice as good automatically!" guess what , it's not. I would totally give back Clonekillers 2nd saber, jedi mind trick, force sense, and the grafix upgrade, for 6 more levels and a plot. That's right, a plot, because just like Halo 2, this game has none. After I finished the game the first time (4 hours on normal) I sat there thinking, "ok , when does TFU 2.5 come out with the 2nd half of this game..." I then beat it on hard in 5.5ish hours for the dark side ending. And I'm still not satisfied.
The unlockable cinimatics that are in a youtube vid link above are obviously what transpired behind the scenes with "a different, perfected clone" who SPOILER kills you at the end of the darkside ending. Maybe TFU3 will be from his point of view? meh
well, on the bright side, At least maybe someone will sample stuff from the game and the CF crowd will get a TFU2 /Rainsizzle 2 sound font LMAO....
-
Just wanted to mention that quite frequently unreleased/unfinished content is put on the game disk. The infamous gta "hot coffee" mod was one such occurance. And to give a lucasarts example kotor1 and 2 both had unused content on the disk. (Though 2 had way more. Oh HK factory you could have been awesome.)
-
I've not read every post in this thread, so forgive me if this has been posted. I just got the game. On one of the early levels there is a gambling den type level. In there is a "puzzle" in the middle of one room. It looks like a big slots type game where you've got to use your force powers to stop the wheel so the arubesh (sp?) letters line up in a certain pattern in order to unlock the large crystal contained in the force filed below it. I've tried everything but cannot get it to open. Anyone know the solution?
-
I couldn't disagree more about a lack of upgrades. Gone is the unwieldy control system of TFU I, i found the controls much easier to use than in the first game. I hope extended DLC is released for this game, as the 4 levels of gameplay leave the player wanting more. I did find the force sense helpful, as there were many ways to travel when on board the salvation. (Different entrance and exit points.) Force grip was way better, with easier targeting, without having to sustain a heavy level of damage just to move a box across the room. As for the dual laser cannon puzzle, that took me more than a minute to solve, as I was getting fired at from all directions. I still think they could have fit more gameplay on the disk, at least for Blu-ray, there is at least another hard drive's worth of space there they could have used. They need to stop basing their games on too many different platforms, as the game creators tend to go with the capabilities of the WEAKEST system, so it can be played on all of them, with leaves the next gen console users back in the dark ages. (skip the PSP and include the Wii and DS, come on!) They need to go back to the days of staggered platform release, so that the developers can use the proper coding for each consoles code. That way, if a particular console's version of the game suffers, all systems don't gt the same "Junk" version of the game, it only sucks on that system. Also, when writing game code for somany systems, I think a majority of multi-platform reases stem from tired programmers trying to meet unrealistic demands from the people in charge, are up late programming, and accidentally write in the source code for a different platform for the wrong version of the game. Just my take, from programmer's perspective. Challenge levels can be fun, especially pitted against everyone else's scores in the entire world, good feature, I think. They should also go back and insert the TFU II gameplay mechanics into the first game, even though I'm not a big fan of buying multiple releases of he same game. Would like to see more development, as well as a "Neo vs. Smith" moment, rather than dark starkiller just Killing the good guy. Besides, starkiller has been brought to life back more times than a soap opera star on vacation. :) We could possibly see him with the dark side ending again. Great game, I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure entirely as I just remember blasting them a few times with force push then all of a sudden a holocron popped out which turned out to be a new costume, I was just having fun destroying thing's, playing it again at the mo so if I find out any thing different I will post it :) man I love this game I just played all the challange missions this morning to unlock all the cinematic clips and I must say that it most deffo leads you to say that the Dark side ending is the true ending which makes a change either way I see a TFU 3 comming to pass ;D
-
For some reason I'm having serious graphic issues with this game. Lots of lag and video tearing.
Anyone else having issues?
-
I've had no prob with mine.
Has anyone found all the saber crystals at all, I have got all the costumes etc but I can't seem to find all the crystal's any help would be cool :D

did you get gold on all challenges?
if you do, you get saber crystals... and more importantly if you get gold on the first challenge (combat) please let me know how you did it, its a though one..

no I havn't had gold on any of the challenges as man they are hard that first one was a doozie just to even get the first medal but if I need to get gold on all of them then I think I am going to fail as some of them are just a nightmare plus I don't get that much game play time so if anyone knows of any cheat codes for them then "PLEASE" lol ;D oh I tell a lie I did get gold on one challange but I think that was a flook lol :D

Yes! a few of them are a nightmare. but if you want all the saber crystal Gold is a must...
I finally got gold on the last challenge, and got my achievment :)
heres a little tip to get gold on combat challenge:
1. run in circles dont hit that droid, takes longer for starkiller to finish combos
2. Make sure to dash when you have finshed a combo ending with "X" (xbox360) trust me many sec. can be earned by doing so
3. the last 3 combos is where it gets very frustating for most.
when you reach this one: XX XX you need to hit XX then make a very short pause then XX again.
When the next one pops up xxx xxx just make sure that you pause a little longer than the last.
and the last one: xxxx xxxx you need to pause even longer before tapping xxxx again.. monst people dont pause long enough.
hope this helps :)
I nearly have 1000/1000 in GP

Peace be upon all,
Thanks for the tips Krig, they helped me finally finnish that first combat challenge. The timing at the end is quite tricky! I'm really glad they added the challenge modes and I'm also loving the replay of the story in the Maulkiller skin.

I got the game when it first came out and hadn't played past the first level in a few weeks. But I must say, despite all the clowning that people have done on it, I am so far really enjoying myself with it. Maybe because I don't game as often as I used to, but so far I am having lots of fun.
Oh well....to each their own I guess. ::)
-
I love this game to I also downloaded the Endor DLC and although there is a bit of a glitch with the story just before the last battle I thought it was really good, on the line of small glitches has anyone noticed that in the first video sequence when Vader hands Starkiller the twin sabers they are Starkillers from the first game but throughout the rest of the game it shows the new sabers, not that I have a prob with it I just found it funny. Adding to the Endor DLC Lovin the new costume very dark and I like how they made his eyes red showing how he has fully turned to the Dark side very cool.
-
I didnt get this when it first came out because money was tight, but thanks to christmas and my birthday falling 10 days apart, I had some extra money and checked on amazon and found the collectors edition for $40! :o So needless to say, I bought it. I really enjoyed it, but I feel like it was incredibly short, and went into it expecting a lot deeper of a story. But I liked it while it lasted.
-
Peace be upon all,
I just finished the Endor DLC as well and must admit it contained some dark pleasures -and some sad ones. The final battle was also epic and amazing considering who it was against! It's something I had always wanted to see in action so it was cool to take it a step further and interact with that fantasy. 8)
I also sent Lucas Arts a 'thank you" for the super cheap price they ended up charging for the DLC after all the heat about the short length of the main game.
Now I'm heading back in to get a few achievements.
Enjoy!

i just beat the endor mission on unleashed and it didnt give me the trophy that was suppose to come with it.......needless to say im furious considering how hard it was, any thoughts on as to why this happened??

Did you start the game on Unleashed or change it after it started as it doesn't work that way, or try doing it again as I had a similar prob when playing the main game and I found that I had to play the first level again on Unleashed then the trophy suddenly popped up, I know playing it again is a bit of a pain as it was hard doing it the first time let alone doing it again but it could have had a glitch and just not regestard the completion, you might even find that as soon as you start it again it might pop up. I could be wrong on all of this but it's just ideas
Good luck

i think TFU II is awesome. the only thing i didnt really like is that there wasnt enough lightsaber battles like in the first one. in the first one you are fighting allot of jedi. so in the second one sense you went AWAL vader should have sent a bunch of sith after you. i think the planets you vist in the first one were better too. and the costumes. other then that the game had allot of epic moments. the graphics were better too. an the lightsaber crystals were easier to find which was good. i did like the planets better in the first one though. but going to degobah was fun even though it was short. oh ya an jedi mind tricks are awesome.
note: if you use the obi wan costume from the DLC you will still look like obi wan in the cut scenes. where as other you revert back to the games regular costume.
also: who you fight at the end of endor was EPIC!!!

also: who you fight at the end of endor was EPIC!!!
Rule of two.
ya true. but couldnt there be other sith masters out there with an apprentice that starkiller could fight? i guess they would stray too far from the story line.

If you have amazon prime it is the same price there but if you don't the free shipping on newegg is great.
This is the price I have been waiting to buy it at (as I did for TFUI) since they aren't great games overall but fun for us SW fans. Enjoy!

You can get the guide as well for 14.99 free shipping.
Thanks for posting!

To be honest about this game, I'm kinda torn. As far as gameplay goes, I LOVED it... lived up to my expectations 100%. But something was missing... I'm not sure it just seemed so... short? I mean they split it into a bunch of levels but lets face it - you escape from Kamino, go to Cato Nemoidia, hop on that ship to try to get to your girl, and then you're back in Kamino for the ending. I don't count the Dagobah level because while it was AWESOME talking to Yoda, after so much buildup I freaking thought there would be more than a simple short walk through the swamp and a cutscene... idk I kinda figured you might have some kinda ESB style training from Yoda, learning to be a Jedi for real (since you've only learned the ways of the Sith thus far). That part in particular was very disappointing.
The original game had like a million levels... you went on like 3 Jedi hunting missions before you even got into the main plot, then you went off on random missions to find Kota, rescue Leia and Bail Organa, etc. This was all before the long and epic final level that took place inside the Death Star... I just feel like the second game didn't quite live up to this legacy, at least in plot.
Long story short: gameplay = awesome, great Force powers and I loved dual wielding (gave a kinda God of War feel). Plot = Crap, there was no plot besides searching for Juno (which I found tiring), no character development (the debate of whether or not Starkiller was a clone was basically forgotten), and very little playtime.

I remember playing this game with you Nero and getting to Dagobah and FLIPPING OUT over Yoda. And then 5 minutes later being massively depressed that there wasn't more time/training with him.
Have to Echo Nero here, the game seemed epic to play but very, very short.

I do agree with what you are saying on this game but after watching an interview with Sam Witwer on YouTube he explained the story in a different way which made it sound more interesting and different, i would post a link to the vid but I can't remember what it was called, I'm sure you would find it if you look hard enough ;D

I haven't read all the posts here in a while and I agree with Nero, something was missing and Hopefully! They will readdress our questions in part3. Will there be a part 3????

Yeah a few things really bugged me about this game. Besides the incredibly short story, i preferred the way the force powers and saber animations looked in the first game. I was not a huge fan of using duel lightsabers without the ability to choose to use only one or two. And of course theres the way vader gets "defeated", that much lighting would have melted the plastic off of him and reduce him to a pile of ashes so taking off his hands would have been just fine in my opinion. But the darkside ending makes me think that the new dark apprentice is lurking in the lightside ending somewhere and will most likely be the means of vader's escape and become the main boss alongside vader in the third game if there will be one.

I like many others on here found that the second installment to what looked like an amazing series of games was lacking in real story depth. The story was short and I kind of felt like the creators went on holiday half way through and let someone just fill in the gaps. I did like the whole "Duel-blade" experience but agree that having the ability to choose between single or double would have added a bit more optional game play.
Overall I found the game mediocre compared to the first one but if a third is to be released, I really hope they put the effort in to bring it back to its roots

To me the new animations took a while to get used to, but the gameplay seemed slightly more improved over the original. Other than that, far too short, and the games story doesnt ever answer flat out whether or not Starkiller is Starkiller or a clone. You can't take Vader seriously cuz he is Sith and will lie to anyone if he stands to gain from it. And code-name Distant Thunder may very well be a clone of Starkiller, but he is an Infinities character and therefore not canon.
