The Force Unleashed 2? Possible Spoliers - Page 3

Endorenna · 10-15-2008, 09:10 AM

Meh...I'd prefer to have Mara Jade only in multiplayer. Hmm, maybe Jaina could join her...

LordOfTheFish · 10-15-2008, 02:18 PM

I would like to see her in something other than MP. Maybe not as the main character but more or less like Juno.

SW01 · 10-15-2008, 03:00 PM

I'd like to see many of the EU characters in any multiplayer mode - particularly from the later eras, like Roan Fel and the Imperial Knights, or Darth Krayt and Darth Talon.

I think a multiplayer, whether online or regular single console multiplayer, would be a welcome addition to the next-gen version. Given the backlash over the complete lack of one, I think the developers would be foolish to neglect to add one next time out.

Mara Jade might be a good candidate for a character in a sequel - though as said, not a main one. Mainly because she has a storyline already. I'd prefer a totally original one.

Endorenna · 10-15-2008, 03:05 PM

Yea, that's the thing about Mara. If they were going to make a Yuzhaan Vong/Darth Caedus game, sure, but to get the full story, you'd have to keep switching from Luke to Mara to Leia to Jaina to Jacen to Anakin to...you get the idea.

Maris Brood's story isn't written yet, so I still think she's the best candidate for TFU 2.

LordOfTheFish · 10-15-2008, 03:06 PM

EU characters in MP is a great idea. If only there was some assurance. The game has only been out for a little over a month, time will tell.

SW01 · 10-15-2008, 03:14 PM

I wouldn't count on a sequel for quite a while. LA's track record in that area isn't great (thinking of KotOR and TSL.) Maybe we'll get more in dlc, if the current one is successful.

MajinMikeyX · 10-16-2008, 09:30 PM

Well, Mara Jade or Maris Brood weren't crazy force users...So I think Kyle Katarn could be a candidate or at least an unlockable skin. I think Luke would be good maybe for a story after ROTJ. Like TFU is Vader's "Dark Son"(Starkiller) and Luke is his son who is light. Idk, as long as it's NOT Maris, or Mara Jade. How would they be entertaining to play as anyways?....

Well with Maris we could see how her life was before and after.

For Mara Jade, the story would be like TFU, a dark side user that follows orders from a big baddie (palpatine) without leaving witnesses.

I think both are good candidates for a TFU2.

I really like that idea you could have a videogame adaptation of the Tales of the Jedi comics and fight in the Great Sith War.

LordOfTheFish · 10-17-2008, 01:50 PM

But why would you call that a TFU 2?

GwannaSauna · 10-18-2008, 02:21 PM

Ooh! I know what the next game is gonna be! Your* gonna play as a very young Luke Skywalker, trying to trade w/ Jawas, defending the homestead from Tusken Raiders, and, well... doing what he did everyday between III and IV... unless TFU2 takes place after IV

*Excuse the grammar

SW01 · 10-18-2008, 04:36 PM

^

I wouldn't put it past LucasArts...(remembers Super Bombad Racing and shudders)

Who do you think we will start off working for? Presuming we start off directly after the events of TFU? Sith, Rebels or 'freelance'?

LordOfTheFish · 10-18-2008, 04:48 PM

The next step in Lucas Arts games will probably dip into EU.

Henz · 10-18-2008, 05:11 PM

A Yank is an American. So yes you are - a very confusable yank.

It isn't the characters that make a TFU game. It can be just a game about bounty hunters bounty huntin', or bantha herders holding the line against tusken raiders, as long as the main character unleashes the Force with preposterous strenght and swings his melee weapon with an overly simplified combat system.

Hmm, I guess you're right but I would hope it would have something to do TFU.

Henz · 10-19-2008, 08:47 AM

I see Brood as a likely candidate for a sequel, but I honestly can't fathom how a second game could have the impact or importance that they got with TFU. I think they did a really good job of creating a story that fits the continuity nicely whilst still feeling epic.

They probably won't get the same ground-breaking effect, but they can build on what they have by adding more features, more ambitious storylines, characters and powers, and make it longer now they know there is a market for it. Think of the difference between KotOR and TSL - both great games in their own right, but KotOR was the ground-breaker, the new thing. TSL took that base and built upon it, with slightly enhanced graphics more animations, items, etc, and would have had a greatly enhanced storyline had LA allowed Obsidian to finish it!

Hopefully, LucasArts will do the same this time round, use the original as a base and build upon it, but maybe finish it thi time around!

Hmm... I'd love them to achieve the story enhancements that came with TSL, but the time setting would surely be far more restrictive for TFU 2. There's very little space between the end of the first game and Episode IV, the key villains have already been used, and the lingering Jedi survivors have been slaughtered.

We'll see though. I'm on board for another one, although I'd prefer KOTOR 3 if I was forced to choose.

Yeah - I would say it'll be: 1) as discussed, focused on Maris Brood; and 2) set just after her encounter with Galen on Felucia, or just after being sent away by Shaak Ti - maybe that will even be the prologue. And, of course as you say, the villains are already set. Pity, imo (cause we know exactly who they are and how they act, and thus we know who we will fight at the end.)

But of course!

LordOfTheFish · 10-19-2008, 09:15 PM

I'd prefer a RC2, but I guess I'm happy with anything LA comes out with...

SW01 · 10-21-2008, 11:27 AM

I have an idea! A serious one!

I think it would be great to play as Palpatine in his early training, seeing he is supposed to be an incredibly powerful force user and highly skilled duelist. And, as far as I am aware, his early history is not written.

It would be nice to see a game ending which is canonically Dark Side as well!

Endorenna · 10-21-2008, 03:06 PM

Hmm...

A young Palpatine! Boy, what a gruesome sight!

Interesting idea. (I like the part about the canon Dark Side ending) It's possible...but I doubt that they'd do that when they have yet to resolve Maris Brood. Maybe for TFU 3?

Sidias.R · 10-21-2008, 04:09 PM

Or maybe TFU 4?

I hope Kota will be as your Player Character in TFU 2, or maybe even TFU 3.

Jamps · 10-21-2008, 04:13 PM

I kinda doubt the Kota or Maris would be the main character in the next game. I'm sure they'll have something to do with the plot though, got to tie in the Secret Apprentice somehow, right?

It doesn't HAVE to...LA can do whatever they want, it's their franchise.

Juno Eclipse · 10-22-2008, 12:13 AM

They could make TFU 2 about Palpatine's master, Darth Plaguis! That would be an AWESOME game! Playing as a character who learned the secrets to stop others from dying!

SW01 · 10-22-2008, 10:21 AM

Plagueis would be good too. I don't think he has a history either...

I remember reading that he was originally being discussed to appear in TFU, but wasn't included for whatever reason. (Click)

Why do that when you can just enter MANDALORE as a cheat code and equip the green crystal to your lightsaber?

Meh. It's just not the same. He looks like Kota (or Drunk Kota - to each his own

), but he still walks, talks, and fights like Starkiller.

But, unless we are to force sight our way through the game, or have it set way back in the Clone Wars (please no), it seems very highly unlikely. Maris still seems to me the most logical, but not necessarily the most desirable, choice for a (returning) PC character.

LordOfTheFish · 10-31-2008, 10:32 PM

I'd rather see a brand spank'n new character, than Maris. I could settle for her though.

I would hope not with Maris. I didn't like her at all and her fighting style with those guard shoto type short lightsabers. I don't think she would sell as a character to play as if LucasArts wants to make money.

Here is what I think would make good playable characters in TFU II:

Luke Skywalker - After ROTJ - Anything could be possible with this one just by having some dark force rise and he has to put an end to it and other possibilities.

Darth Maul - Pre-TPM - Have him track down and kill Sidious' enemies and kill Jedi who would be witnesses. You could do so much with that and even have a similar beginning like with Starkiller on how Sidious discovered him. He could be the next secret apprentice type character. It's too bad that it is established that Sidious killed his master (Darth Plagueis) in his sleep as you could have actually seen it work out where Sidious and Maul gang up to defeat Plagueis as was set to try happen with Starkiller and Vader teaming up to dethrone Sidious. The end of the story of the game would be just before the events of TPM.

Darth Bane - Show how he rose to be a powerful Sith Lord and how he survived the Sith purge and establish the "Rule of Two."

Darth Vader - Have it start when he is first fitted with the outfit and how he had to learn to adjust to it; meaning how he learned to get more powerful while having his limitations while doing missions to hunt down and destroy Jedi.

A Totally New Character in the Old Republic Era - Just make up a new character that we can grow to love easily during the events of the Old Republic sometime away from the KOTOR era so it can stand alone.

Rabish Bini · 11-01-2008, 01:34 AM

Or they can make a KotOR III, then everyone's happy

Well, that wouldn't be the department of the makers of TFU. I say why not both.

Oh, and about my Darth Maul idea. One of the features for Maul is to be able to have the option to turn on one blade or both blades with his lightsaber and have situations where one will work better than the other and have him build up skills to use both styles. And instead of calling it The Force Unleashed II, call it The lightsaber Unleashed.

LordSerion · 11-01-2008, 11:01 AM

Hmm... I'd definitely like a Force Unleashed 2 playing as Darth Revan, young Palpy or Plagueis!

I agree with you. A new character is muc more engaging than going along with an established, if even only partially, backstory. New characters also offer a far greater RPG element. With Maris, of course, a fighting skill, appearance, equipment, backstory and (basic) personality are all already established, so that element probably wouldn't be present.

As I said,

Maybe the final fight would be against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
As for the master ordeal, maybe Maul was plotting to overthrow his master.

Yeah. We want to see more of Lehon and Revan!

Capisdead · 01-03-2009, 02:17 AM

If Lucasarts wants a quick turnaround with force Unleashed 2 then they can go with Maris Brood.

My feeling is that Lucasarts is gonna explore other stories and game concepts first before they to TFU 2.

An interesting idea will be dlc though as I can see maris brood also be the main character in DLC missions and then Lucasarts can possibly use the dlc to set up the main character in TFU 2.

Agreed. I don't remember there being enough about her to intrigue me, even the slightest bit. Yet, I still wish for a TFU2, even if Maris is the main character.
