Unfortunately for all of us, The Force Unleashed has been delayed until 2008. LucasArts had previously stated a shipping date of November 2007. Their web site lists the release date ad TBD. LucasArts has not given any reason for the delay.
Its unfortunate, but its better to have a great game that takes a long time to develop than an average game that was rushed.
With a lot of different media on the Internet involving The Force Unleashed, I thought it would be appropriate to gauge what everybody thought about it thus far. How do you think it will be? What do you think of what you’ve seen so far?
I’ve gotten my hands on a couple new concept sketches for the game. The sketches themselves aren’t particularly new by the date of the page I found them on, but I have never seen them before. I believe they were on display at E3 2006.
A recent Game Informer article talked about the platforms TFU will be released on, among other things. A quote of interest discussed the possibility of TFU on the Nintendo Wii. Here is what a LucasArts rep had to say about this.
“even if that [Wii] version does happen, it probably wouldn’t be ‘the lightsaber game’ that gamers have eagerly been awaiting.”
As we know, the platforms it is set to launch on are “Next-Generation platforms, PS2, PSP and DS.” Krome studios will be handling the PS2 and PSP version, and n-Space will be making the DS version. Why not a Wii as well? We’ll just have to wait and see.
