Even though I am really disappointed, I think a sequel to TFU2 would be cool. I liked the previous one but I do agree with others. It had a nice story and did not need to be continued.

I guess from this point forward we will NEVER hear about SWBF3.

Agreed. I loved TFU, I'm only disappointed because I wanted SWBF3.

Lol, so who do u think it is then? Nico Ballic?

Kotor1 +2 had some force powers, but it was more rpg styled. this game brings a fps feel to it. It may have been short, it was still a good game.

just wanted to know why everyone is totally against the idea....other than the fact that we are all upset we still are left in the dark about swbfIII and its possible existance.
Hehe cool it buddy. I bet I speak for nearly everyone that we (sorta) welcome the existence of this new game. Its just, well, the last part of ur statement says it all. -_-.

(and speaking from the point of view of someone like me who has only played the PSP version of TFU so far, god be thankful I am quite positive bout this)

And maybe some relevant points were mentioned. TFU was a good story, and had an end. Why a sequel?

Yeah lol, I guessed mid trailer, and got confirmed during the "will I ever see you again?". Considering the power the trailer attempted to convey, I expect a good story from NICO BELLIC. Jk

I must say, I was extremely disappointed in Lucasarts this time. They need to start listening to their fan-base more. But it doesn't really matter because LA is still going to make games and people are still going to buy them. I'm upset :cry:

I just found this after it being mentioned in the BF3 speculation thread on Lucasarts BF2 forums.

http://www.gamestop.ca/browse/search.as ... efront%203

Any credibility, or do you think gamestop is just being optimistic.

*no comment*

think the word gutted comes to mind and starkiller died. Why do they have to bring him back. Just bring swbf3....

Tbh he clearly died, and how would he of gotten off the death star? Just a major rick roll this makes me so angry because they bring back someone who clearly died. Lucasarts are going to lose out big time.

TFU2........
is this really necessary? i fear it becomes as unoriginal as the "beast" in the trailer
i can already hear the:
producer wrote:You wont fight these small baby rancors anymore! you will fight BIGGER rancors! :maulsaber:
or what else can they let do you to top TFU1? letting you destruct whole planets and superstardestroyers?

No. Without any sort of official announcement it is just speculation and spam, as it's been for the past three, four years.

And I'm not willing to crucify a new version of a game before hearing more about it. Yes, I'd love to see some sequels to some of LA's previous hit IPs, but they're trying to build a new "big name" and I can certainly respect that. Force Unleashed wasn't groundbreaking or awe-inspiring, but it was a fun brawler and they've got a decent game to build off of.

Haha. I'm not taking gamestop as a valid source. They have the PC version for $29.99. Now I don't mind paying that if the quality is of a $50 or $60 title.

Anyways, compared to the two previous VGAs this one is much better, but overall decent. I give it a 4/5. Had a ton of premieres and I was semi happy with most of the winners.

I was totally surprised by the Batman:AA2. I didn't see that coming and so soon. Maybe it was DLC, but with the success they moved it to a full game?

Green Day Rock Band I saw coming, and I'm excited for it. And I like your joke about it Tean.

TFUII, eh, I don't know how I feel. Like it would have gathered warmer reactions if announced at like E3. Yeah, the monster is very generic. I was hoping for something more gruesome than Rancor if it can kill a rancor no problem. I just hope that part of the game doesn't turn into a quick time event. If they play it out like Assassin's Creed did, where ACI was lay down the new tech and have a decent game around and ACII improves on it and focuses on the game, then I'll fine. I dont' plan on picking up TFU so I know what happens to understand TFUII.

Also the Ryan Secrest? name on the poll should be Joel McHale. Remember that. He's my avatar.

Yes, I was initially disappointed that it wasn't SWBF3, but y'know, I'm actually looking forward to this now! It looked really good, and as long as they release a PC version, I'm happy.

Pointless SWBFIII speculation:
Hidden/Spoiler:
I'm still thinking we'll see SWBFIII somewhere down the line, I mean the game was only cut a year ago, and it took them 2 - 3 years to make, so they wouldn't be ready to announce it this year anyway if they were remaking it...right?
But wow. I saw the Reach trailer and thought, fail much Bungie? I think it was two things. Ruining Halo canon even more, and the cheap characters. First off, they added a new aircraft. This is before Halo: CE, so just use Pelicans. Or even use Vultures or Hornets, since they were in Halo Wars, which was before Halo: CE.

And then the characters. My problems with the characters, in order of appearance:

ODST "Lieutenant" - Rookie + Master Chief (looks like we get to play as the same type of character again)

Sniper - Romeo + Master Chief (he smells like our stereotypical sniper from the Halo series)

Skully - Ghost (MW2) + Master Chief (I lol'd at this one)

Girl w/ Accent - Captain Keys + Dare + Master Chief (please don't make another fail love story)

Commander - Forge + Master Chief (I thought it was Forge first time watching)

"George" - Cyclops + Master Chief (by this point I was too angry to care what he was)

So I just watched the Halo: Reach trailer on my DVR again. Those are definitely Spartans. They all have a variant of MJOLNIR armor on, which only Spartans got, because only their genetically enhanced bodies could control the armor without doing things like breaking limbs simply trying to move their arm in the armor.

It's their canon to do what they want with it, and as an avid Halo fan, I thought it looked great.

QFT -- sounds like you're just trying to find something wrong with it. As far as the vehicles go, the humans were on multiple planets -- maybe this was a vehicle local to Reach, and perhaps the events of reach deemed these vehicles no longer efficient (and so they weren't used after that). Or maybe they were manufactured on Reach and when it got glassed there were only a handful left on other planets.

As far as the Spartans go, it's clearly evident that you're picking at straws. How in the world can you make a comparison of the female Spartan to Keyes/Dare/Chief when she literally said one line? Or comparing the sniper to Romeo? Again, he said two lines. Yeah, you're just hatin' for the sake of hatin'.

Green Day Rock Band? I can understnad The Beatles Rock Band, since everything they did was a hit, but I can only think of aybe 4 or 5 hits Green Day has had, though I'm pretty bad with knowledge of rock bands.
