Honestly: The Star Wars "Spectacular" at Comic-Con SUCKED!!!

Nothing good was shown..except Battlefront: Elite Squadron...which stars a "clone" with "Jedi Master DNA", named X2. And his 'brother', X1, is with the Empire...so if any of you saw the BATTLEFRONT 3 old footage a few months ago...that soldier fighting that Jedi...YEAH. Thats X1 vs X2.

So expect to play as X2 or X1 in Star Wars: Battlefront 3 for Xb360, PS3, PSP, and DS.


LucasArts: YOU FAIL ME FOR THE LAST TIME.

Holy Crap! I almost bought a used copy but now that this came up, I would rather save up to buy that game! Any word on pricing?

BTW, Thanks for the news Joystiq!

And the devs did say that it couldnt come out on PC because it was designed specifically for consoles... they're so full of it...

Why the hell do I have to buy the game again to get all the content? That is BOGUS. Just make it DLC and put out the new version of the game for those who don't have it. Such a dirty ploy, and this is coming from someone who LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the game and is a total Star Wars fanboy...

"Hoth mission will be exclusive to the Ultimate Sith Edition of the game"

Thank you LucasArts and GL for screwing over the people that bought your game the first time around.

Why do I even both with this company anymore, their first DLC was crap and now they offer better level addons but want you to buy the game again(mine is still on my shelf).

Screw Off.

They received accolades for releasing all of their old adventure games on Steam a few weeks ago. This is just their way of bringing balance to the Force. ;)

That's bullshit! I bought the game when it first came out a year ago! That means that I'm gonna have to buy it again if I want to play the Hoth mission! Yeah, the "fastest selling Star Wars game of all time" is about to sell more games off of crap like this. I cry foul. That mission should be DLC just like the Tatooine mission. Bah!

So i got Force Unleashed on Pre-order over half a year ago, and for that I get the knowledge that I will never be able to fight Luke Skywalker on Hoth, unlike the folks who couldn't be arsed to pick up this game till it was a year old.
So now not only do you need to pre-order for some exclusive in-game item's but now you need to NOT buy the game for a year for exclusive in0game content. This generation of console gaming is getting more n more f**ked up.

So, assuming that you kill Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Tatooine level, how could the Hoth level possibly happen? Luke only joins the Rebellion because he had to take Obi-Wan to Mos Eisley to get a ship to Alderaan. If Obi-Wan is dead, Luke wouldn't ever leave Tatooine.

Not to mention that if the Emperor knew where Obi-Wan is, why didn't he send Vader after him in the original time line?

This game may have sold well, but it wasn't that good of a game. I did play the Wii version, so maybe the 360/PS3 version is better. This is all kind of a let down, really.

I'm guessing that you don't kill Obi-wan, he probably just runs away after you "beat" him in a fight.

Then again, it looks like with the armor you're wearing there that this assumes the dark ending to the original Force Unleashed, which was not canon anyway.

well this would be set after the end of the force unleashed because the rebellion would be formed already and that happens at the end. now, that could only continue after the dark side ending, because with that light side ending, the apprentice is dead, and on the dark side, he still works for vader. and i assume its a continuation of the dark side ending because the apprentice appears to be in re-vamped sith armour that he gets put in after the dark side ending.

which means continuity doesnt matter. the light side ending is the official story of what happened between 3 and 4. the dark side ending was just like an "easter egg", a bit more just for fun. dark side is unofficial. which means that when this carries on after the dark side ending, it is still an unofficial story, so whatever happens doesnt have to tie in with the rest of the film universe.

meaning the emperor could know where obi-wan is and the apprentice could kill him and it wouldnt matter in regards to the film universe

I don't see the value in releasing sets that will (a) make your existing customers feel agrieved (b) not generate many more sales, as people who were gonna buy it already have it.

If they release ultimate editions they should really give the extra content to existing buyers for free, or almost free.
But in that case, it's still financially stupid.

Even though I have already beaten this game (incl. Jedi Temple DLC), I would totally re-buy it for trophies.

But I'm a whore.

So it looks like this DLC is assuming the dark side ending of the original game. How do these missions work if you go with the light side ending? That wouldn't make sense for him to have the crazy looking armor attached to him after that ending.

Anyway, I'm jumping on board the "f you guys this should be DLC there's no way I'm buying the whole game again to play 2 levels" train.

This is just more evidence that LucasArts doesn't listen to the fans of their games.

People wanted Kotor 3, they decide to release an mmo just so they can get more money.

They add crapy DLC content to the force unleashed then a year later add better content for $60.

I hope no one buys the ultimate sith edition.

Yes it looks fun but I am not doing the mmo thing again.

I actually want to play a fun a single player star wars game like kotor I and II.

I don't want to have my enjoyment from the game trying to get to max level and best in slot gear just to compete with the rest of the people in the game.

KOTOR Is only liscensed by Lucasarts, Bioware makes the decisions for what happens in THEIR story. plus you are all acting like video game companies don't do things like this all the time... They don't care if it makes you feel violated, they just want your money.

Yeah, I know that this isn't cannon - more info at http://www.familygameronline.com/2009/07/star-wars-force-unleashed-ultimate-sith.html.

I suppose Obi-Wan could just run away. Maybe I assumed that you did kill him, because otherwise the whole thing would be pointless? I don't know.

This whole thing just seems like a bad move on the part of LucasArts. They probably wanted to make more money from TFU, but not spend the money (or take the time) to develop a full fledged sequel.

Just so everyone knows, the article says this will be part of the "Infinities" canon. Infinities is a line of comics that is basically a "what if?" In it they have Darth Maul surviving, Luke going Dark Side, all sorts of stuff like that.

So yes, this assumes the Dark Side ending, and it will be "canon" as part of Infinities.
