New Force Unleashed Trailer and now Gameplay vid

[DigitalSushi]

The force can make matter pop up? Or did he pull 2 light sabers towards him? Who the hell put light sabers in the room we execute Jedi with storm troopers?! Seriously who's idea was that? Was it you Gary, Colin and Derek Stormtrooper?

Stormtrooper: Lord Vader the execution room is ready.

Vader: Excellent, you made the modifications I ordered didn't you Derek?

Stormtrooper: You mean the lightsabers mounted to the wall and the flickering lights that any force adept person could knock out?

Vader: Yes those.

Stormtrooper: We did my lord, but my men are quite worried about the possibility of being killed.

Vader: Don't worry Derek, I must make it to the next film so we should be alright

Stormtrooper: Yes lord Vader, but we are faceless entities so if we die no one would notice.

Vader ... ... I'm sure you'll be fine.

HAHA, I'm so happy I could cry.

Don't be such a pussy Derek!, Colin and Gary are sucking it up like proper clone men.

so it isn't as though they are pulling shit out of the air.

Like the force to explain everything?, in a star wars franchise, no of course not.

"shit, Dave the captain just choked, right in front of Darth Vader"
"it was the force, its totally pimping"

 

[Swifteye]

Don't be fooled.

The first Force Unleashed also looked incredible and then turned out to be incredibly terrible.

I have been burned by Lucasarts far too often, far too recently.

All this is, is a cutscene. No gameplay is shown in that clip.
Cutscenes do not count towards a game's worth.

Wait for the reviews before you decide to buy this.

Ja ja the force unleashed game was mega hyped but once people got there hands on them they found out it wasn't that great. Still fun. But lacking and I'm honestly against stories where characters who've had there story ended are opened again for the sake of it. Lots of really horrible sequals are the product of such choices. lucas himself has made a few examples.

See I'm inclined to be kinder to this sequel as the means of bring him back / creating a clone are established cannon, so it isn't as though they are pulling shit out of the air. I mean where do you think they get all the mindless cannon fodder stormtroopers from? No ones propoganda could be good enough to recurit people.

True but the campian of star wars battlefront 2 suggest that they are still clones but not all of jango fett but I can see that.

What I'm saying is that atleast its better than saying, oh look he was such a powerful force ghost that he possessed his dead body and can back to life.

And even better than having Juno bring some potions of life his ring and a kiss that is 2 years old and regenerating him as a sometimes Skeletor (Doctor Who for the Win)

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Thought No. 1: Wait, they've brought him back from the death again? What a cop-out!

Thought No. 2: Holy shit, this is so epic I don't even care.

Thought No. 3: Those are some badass looking clone apprentices, I'll tell you that.

Oh, and did anyone else think that the flamethrower droid looked a bit like Dog from Half-Life 2?

He's not back, it's just a clone

Also I might get it as long as the game play is better than the first

 

[Ghostkai]

Ahhh, so now I'm thinking they kept the original Galen alive at the end of TFU, in order to make clones of him. Once they had the clones made, Vader orders his execution.

This has got me excited.

Haven't been this excited since the sacking of Coruscant trailer for The Old Republic

To diverge slightly off the topic for a moment, Why was TOR publicised so highly back then when we are still waiting fo the release?

New game within the "Old Republic" era makes for a crap ton of excitement. And it's made by Bioware. Theres alot of people who wanted it, and thats most likely the reason for the massive hype.

In Republic Commando, the narration makes a point of mentioning that new genetic material was eventually used; after a certain point, not all the clones are of Jango. By the time they're stormtroopers, there are apparently multiple sources of genetic material; clones of a couple dozen people for... I forget. Reasons.

holy shit, force repel that is so powerful it turns people to ash?!?! awesome

In the first game you can use the Force to pull a fucking Star Destroyer out of orbit.

Which begs the question why the fuck is anyone using lightsabers ever for any reason at all if the force is this fucking strong.

Star Wars is dead to me.

I remember what it is, but what I'm asking is why did Bioware release a heap of info about the game over a year ago when it won't be released until next year?

Because MMO's take a long time to make. And the more people you get excited, the more people pre-order, and from a development point of view they've now got an army of willing beta-testers. Great for feedback and suggestions across a broad range of hardware.

Also, if you check the offical site forums, the game pretty much has a active community up and running already. These are mainly people who played SW:G. Also, theres that nice thing knowing that everyone within that community is now pretty much a definate sale. Encouraging to investers to see the amount of hype.

Hype. Plain and simple.

They want to make sure people know that this game will be released and that they should be excited about it.
They need people to want to spend their money on this game and tell all their friends that they need to spend their money on this game.

It's hype, just hype. Keep them waiting, get them salivating.

Hype.

 

[Rickyvantof]

Bad Ass.

 

[A-Heart-Of-Gold]

I thought that the Force Unleashed was a good enough game to stand on it's own, I thought thats why they killed the apprentice off in the first place!

But that looks better than the first one and it would be nice to have a sequal as I finished it in 8 hours!

 

[Abedeus]

Looks cool. Played the game when I was sick for a week or so, but my disk broke down and I couldn't bother to get the game installed... Might go back to it.

Also, please Force Unleashed 2 for PC. Not after 2 years, earlier.

 

[Vrex360]

Holy shit. I have to say it's been a while since Star Wars has really gotten my attention but damn that was cool. Sleek stylish and excellent really.
Only one problem is that I am lead to believe his goal is to overthrow Vader.... and we know that that's not going to happen for the sake of story.
Still I may just keep an eye out for this one.

 

[Abedeus]

Which begs the question why the fuck is anyone using lightsabers ever for any reason at all if the force is this fucking strong.

Few reasons.

1. It's free. Anyone can grab a lightsaber, swing it and sometimes hit.
2. It's a really, really light weapon. The outer shell, the crystal and the hilt are the only things in its construction that weight anything at all. The blade is weightless, and unless you are fighting with another person using a lightsaber, you won't feel the power behind it. Meaning you can swing as long as you can, without worrying about the weight of the blade.
3. You can throw and guide your sword with minimal concentration. Especially devastating with a staff or dual blades.
4. You can block Force attacks, blasters and other energy weapons with the lightsaber. Can't reflect an energy projectile with Force alone. Force Push is too costly to do that, and it's harder to reflect properly. Force Barrier only absorbs attacks, and everyone who played Jedi Academy at least once knows how fun it is to kill someone by reflecting attacks unto himself.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Oh my good lord. I loved the first game, definitely going to buy this. Screw TOR, this is where the awesome is.

 

[BlackStar42]

I dunno how they're gonna work this into the plot, but holy fucknuggets this is awesome.

 

[xvbones]

4. You can block Force attacks with the lightsaber.

i know this is canon. i know it is.

but it will not ever make any sense.

ever.
