Star Wars: Force Unleashed to get DLC News

dont spoiler tags work in news items then?

Ooooooh. Sounds good. I really liked Force Unleashed, and more of it would be quite nice.

bit of a shame we have to pay for them.

but still im all for a new mission. i've very much enjoyed the game and am near the end of my second playthrough.

to play with some new characters will be good too!

I wonder if Solo and Indy will use guns or it'll just be a re-skin and they'll be using lightsabers?

Vader is his father? Busy man...

Too late for me as I have already traded it in.

New skins are LAME.
They won't add anything new to the gameplay. Utter rubbish if they are not free too.

New missions would be really great.
I did enjoy the game. It was very much over-hyped though.... but once you get into it its actully pretty fun, just needs more to do.

I heard they were planning to do episodic DLC which would be awesome! Especially if they kept the new content flowing on a regular basis.

But but... didn't lucasarts chuck all the staff that worked on this? Reskinning is prolly about much as we can expect.

Another farce unleashed?
Meh...

I'm willing to pay for this. Especially if it includes new achievements.

I hope they work out the way Luke, Obi-Wan etc hold the lightsaber. I expect it'll just be a straight reskinning but I'd prefer them to hold their sabers in their fighting style rather then the apprentices back grip.

Still, more content is always good as long as the price is right.

Completed it twice now, just to get all the skins and the endings. The Sith Assassin skin is actually pretty sweet. Playing through fully powered up improves the game no end.

Reskins of Luke etc would just be lame though, hopefully they modify the model also.

@Rayn: You are a comedy genius. Yeah.

Kit Fisto = Best.Name.Ever.

The whole story with his dad was a bit craply addressed if you ask me. TBH I don't see how that's a spoiler as well...

@Rirekon: No vader isn't his dad; to be honest his jacobs were probably fried off at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Unless his midichlorians made him some new ones...

Everyone raved about the story and slagged off the gameplay. I've found the story to be rather predictable, and indeed a little clumsy re double cross/double double cross etc... I also found the core gameplay very good fun for what amounts to a straightforward 3rd person beat em up.

I agree with Septimus that it's great fun to replay but yeah, it might have benefitted from some Lego Star Wars style bits that you can't reach on first play through. The different characters should play differently, especially if you're being charged for the content.

These are all available on the Wii version allready.

Trophy support for PS3 please.

Also, how about the "Force Unleashed" mode from the PSP version? It's excellent.

For those who don't know, it's lets you play three extra game modes. "Force Duel" is a series of one-on-one Jedi battles, "Order 66" is a survival game set in a series of arenas with ever more deadly bosses and "Historical Missions" lets you re-enact classic skirmishes from the films. Play as Vader battling Luke in the carbonite chamber on Cloud City or as Luke fighting Boba Fett at the Saarlac pit on Tatooine etc..

It's all good!

edit = spellig mistales

That Gamespot article doesn't say anything about Han or Indy going into TFU, it just makes mention of them being skins in the original Mercenaries. Given that you don't use guns in Force Unleashed, Solo wouldn't work anyway.

@Fledgemangle.

I own both the 360, PS3 (not arrived with my free graphic novel yet) and PSP version.

TBH the Force Unleashed mode isn't as good as you're making it out to be, yes its got extra modes but you're still playing as the Aprentice as they're still only skins.

Although not bad, the historical missions are not really anything like the movies counterpart.

Luke beats Boba Fett? Does he.

Obi Wan force throws Anakin into Lava? False.

Darth Vader can use Force lightning, run pretty fast and use acrobatics? Nope.

However, the Mace Windu and Count Dooku missions are pretty accurate, they're still only skins though.

Force duel is pretty good though and Order 66 unlocks Darth Maul.

I still enjoy playing the PSP version though, as you get to use different saber hilts and the Aprentice uses force choke.

I'll definitely be getting the DLC for either/both for the 360/PS3 version, HD Corusant (sp) FTW.

Here's hoping they add Nar Shadaa (sp) aswell.

Cont...

That's the only other level the Wii/PS2/PSP version has that the 360/PS3 doesn't, although the Empirical level isn't playable in the Wii/PS2/PSP version, so I suppose they're even.

I do however, prefer the Wii/PS2/PSP version of Bespin/Cloud City, you get to fight Mandalorians (Jango Fett is a mandalorian) and an evil looking Jar Jar

@rpt81.

Han Solo is a skin in the Wii/PS2/PSP version, so I think he does use a lightsaber, I've not used him though.

Would be great if they could make the controls, you know.. responsive aswell, as it plays like a rubber duck most of the time. And, you know... fix *some* of the many, many bugs.. Nah, who am I kidding, the game is crap and they can't do shite about it..
