star wars the force unleashed 3 gameplay

The Force Unleashed 2 ended with a cliffhanger so The Force Unleashed 3 would immediately resolve that end sequence. What could we have expected from The Force Unleashed 3? We’ll never know for sure but this seems to be a sensible conclusion, given the facts. We know for a fact that a third Force Unleashed game was on the cards, but it seems likely that the internal pressures at LucasArts, ongoing staff upheaval and creativity-crushing development schedules contributed to Haden Blackman leaving LucasArts – and in turn – the third Force Unleashed game getting the can. By the time TFU2 had shipped, a third of all LucasArts employees had been fired. About a month before the game shipped, LucasArts sacked some 85 employees from the Force Unleashed team and before the year was out had fired even more. With growing studio involvement and a hellish production schedule, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Blackman foresaw LucasArts’ grim future and wanted out. Haden Blackman, the director of the first game was helming the second, but announced his resignation before the game shipped. The year Force Unleashed 2 shipped, LucasArts had had three more. But how could this have happened?ĭuring the year Force Unleashed II went into production, LucasArts had no less than three CEOs, each with a different approach to executive involvement. This was not the response Lucas were looking for in the sequel to the fastest-selling Star Wars game of all time. Despite a promising opening week, less than four million copies sold in total, on all formats (including Wii and DS versions). Its commercial response was equally underwhelming. Negative reviews cited the game as a desperate cash grab, fan fiction and “one of the most underachieving games of 2010”. The game was short and critics accused the game of being rushed. Following on from my article about The Force Unleashed series, The Force Unleashed 3 was planned and canned and today I want to find out as much about this cancelled Force Unleashed 3 game as I can.
