Spike VGAs: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a thing photo

It’s no Shadows of the Empire II, but we’ll take a Force Unleashed II announcement all the same. In fact, we have taken it and now we’re pushing it around in our mouths, savoring it for the time being.

As part of the massive amount of reveals this evening, LucasArts busted out a teaser trailer for a follow-up to one of the most critically successful Star Wars games in the recent past, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

But don’t get too excited; we don’t know much about this new business. The teaser featured the voices of Yoda and Darth Vader arguing about Force-related things while the Apprentice strutted to an arena with a vicious Rancor waiting. The footage ends before he digs two blue lightsabers into its skull.

I thought the teaser trailer was disappointing, and it was pretty obvious this was the reveal, but I'm looking forward to TFU2. I enjoyed the first.

Hell, it's no Star Wars Chess II either, y'know, if I'm being brutally honest here.

Again, was totally hoping for something that wasn't FU2 (what an unfortunate acronym...), though in the bottom of my heart, I knew it wouldn't be anything else.

definitely not excited, since the first one was 'meh' for the most part.

For a second I forgot that this was a Lucas franchise. Silly me.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but the first was surprisingly fun.

You know, considering it's like the best selling SW game series of all time, you'd think they'd be at least working on Battlefront and telling us about it.

Hopefully it's just because they're taking their time with it.

Also, yay TFU2?

Lame. The first was like Jedi Knight-lite and I doubt the second will be any better.

What I do hope for in the game is a better damage model for the enemies. The oddest thing about the first one is when you did hit your' unfortunate enemies, not a single burn/slash was in sight. This request isn't born out of blood thirst, rather the fact that the films DO show actual, physical damage from a lightsaber and they are rated 12+, yet a video game that reduces the admittedly awesome lightsaber to a glow stick you bash your enemies with, is rated at the same level. I honestly thought it was supremely stupid that the devs went with this design choice, isn't the lightsaber extremely dangerous and able to cut through anything in seconds? I don't ask for bloody action, but at least acknowledge how dangerous a lightsaber can be, burn marks would suffice.

Heck, in Episode 3 you see anakin burnt alive and suffering, with BOTH of his legs and a arm chopped off, which was seen. Also, the death of general grevious was a pleasant one as well, yet that was showed and passed for its rating.

The thing is I don't even like the star wars series in general, and as the demo cost me nothing to download, I played it out of curiosity, I stopped playing after I slashed an enemy with great force, only for him to fall to his feet with no visible damage at all.

The demo was fairly good as well, but the overt oddness at the lack of damage from a lightsaber made me not buy it.

Wait, how could you play as the Apprentice if he died in the first one anyway ? oh well, I enjoyed the first one, and hopefully they fix all of the problems of TFU and make this one better. And not have enemies that are resistant to the Force god dammit

Well Darth Vader has a conflict of personalities (Light and Dark) so when he tells the Emperor he is dead...perhaps he was protecting him and in the next game the Apprentice is in a similar situation.

Aside from some awkwardness and a very unfortunate "bring down the star destroyer" sequence, the first one was alot of fun! I'll go for more of that.

I couldn't believe they announced this. Interesting.

An epic rancor fight would seal the deal for me.

I cried a little bit when I realized there was not going to be a Battlefront 3 announcement. Also, this looks okay. The first was fun, but I can't say I'd take this over BF3. Not at all.

This looks like the shit. I don't know if I'll buy this one on launch or not. I might have to wait till it get's an Ultimate Sith Edition.

The first one was okay. This one...will probably also be okay, and also mess up the already unnecessarily complex and contradiction ridden expanded universe even more. So I'm sold.

(Seriously, when they cast Luke Skywalker's grandson as a slacker addicted to death sticks who had to overthrow a tuskan raider sith lord, I could tolerate anything.)
