Star Wars video game announcement next weekend

by Terrence Stasse { Mar 29th 2008 at 5:00PM }

GameTrailers.com recently posted a tease about the next installment of their formerly weekly show, GameTrailersTV. The tease hints at an exclusive look at The Force Unleashed as well as excursive announcements set to be revealed on (what else?) SpikeTV a week from tomorrow (April 6). With so many different sub-IP's of Star Wars (see right) the supposed announcement could be all sorts of things. If it's as big as hinted it could be a whole new game, though with so many to choose from getting our hopes up for anything specific is just jumping the gun. Still, the Star Wars video games definitely need a fresh jolt of fun, and if this is a new game from one of the existing properties it would certainly fit with what Lucasarts has said in the past about continuing franchises.

Man, I miss Rouge Squadron for N64...

Good times...

Jcarpio @ Mar 29th 2008 8:53PM

Republic Commando 2 in time for the clone wars movie?

lastgiantrobot @ Mar 29th 2008 9:00PM

NO, you are all missing the greatest Star Wars sub-IP yet to be exploited...Death Star Janitor: Wrath of the non-OSHA compliant walkways.

Terrence Stasse @ Mar 29th 2008 9:01PM

I'd buy Star Wars Death Star Janitor: Wrath of the Non-OSHA Compliant Walkways.

But I'm a consumer whore :)

Andrew @ Mar 29th 2008 9:06PM

I'd love to get Star Wars Galaxies 2: The One That the Devs Don't Screw Up. It's just a pipe dream, but it could happen.

BELIEVE.

ccc @ Mar 29th 2008 9:14PM

KOTOR or Jedi Knight would be mind blowing.

Lewis @ Mar 29th 2008 9:41PM

i needzz moar kyle katarn

YoRone22 @ Mar 29th 2008 10:07PM

TXAustin, I LOVED THAT GAME. I played it so much. I had the 1337 cheats to get all the locked ships. Oh man we need a remake of that on XBLA!!!!

SadisticHam @ Mar 29th 2008 10:42PM

SWB3 please please please please. Had so much fun with 2.

DemonGSides @ Mar 29th 2008 11:10PM

Battlefield 3 please.

Pandemic must be the creator.

Seattle Yonkers @ Mar 29th 2008 11:17PM

Proper KOTOR 3 please.

No ridiculous MMO.

THE RPG NERD @ Mar 29th 2008 11:26PM

I'm hoping for a Republic Commando 2. It had really accessible squad controls and was just a lot of fun.

RacrSoldr @ Mar 30th 2008 12:17AM

Battlefront 3 please

DemonGSides @ Mar 30th 2008 1:28AM

Battleground*

Trekster_Gamer @ Mar 30th 2008 2:27AM

As great as Rogue Leader was on Gamecube it would BE FREAKING AWESOME to have a compilation of all episodes in this type of game setting on the Mighty 360!

Ghostbuddy @ Mar 30th 2008 4:34AM

Battlefront 3

Kotor 3

Or a new Jedi Academy...

Either of those would be awesome.

Hell can be something new to, Unleashed looks awesome.

WookieMuncher @ Mar 30th 2008 6:16AM

Free Radical (the Haze guys) are currently working on Battlefront III for Lucas Arts. So they could well be announcing that.

Swamp Donkey @ Mar 30th 2008 6:15AM

A new Rogue Squadron would be sweet. Especially if it was on the 360, then they couldn't ruin it with motion controls.

webster1990 @ Mar 30th 2008 11:52AM

Battlefront 3 please, please, please a thousand times please. I heard a while back that Free Radical are developing it, but nothing recently. I would love a next gen version of that game. Can you imagine Battlefront with the amount of people on screen as Dead Rising, or even Kameo? it would rock my socks off.

Fox318 @ Mar 30th 2008 12:05PM

I really hope it's Battlefield 3. I remember when they once talked about it being a 360 exclusive.

Will @ Mar 30th 2008 12:49PM

KOTOR 3 ftw!!!

Pancake Ninja @ Mar 31st 2008 2:40PM

Please, let it be Kotor III.

Javier Aguayo @ Mar 30th 2008 1:00PM

Please be Battlefront III, Please be Battlefront III, Please be Battlefront III, Please be Battlefront III, Please be Battlefront III, Please be Battlefront III.

Rich @ Mar 30th 2008 1:41PM

Its exclusive not excursive...

And here is hoping for Kotor 3

gosk187 @ Mar 30th 2008 2:41PM

C'mon Republic Commando 2 the first game has one of the best cliffhanger endings ever.

BowserUSC @ Mar 30th 2008 3:21PM

I'd like to see a new KoTOR, a new jedi knight, i've been playing outcast recently, or even better, an x-wing vs. tie fighter type game. If you guys thought rogue squadron and leader were good, you should try the PC game x-wing vs. tie fighter and the rest of that series. I loved x-wing alliance.

Ed @ Mar 30th 2008 4:06PM

X-Wing 2?

Big Filth @ Mar 30th 2008 4:09PM

FORCE UNLEASED DEMO PLEASE.

:)

Toph @ Mar 30th 2008 11:47PM

NEW-GEN X-WING VS. TIE FIGHTER YES PLEASE. Haha. Seriously, that'd be great.

Republic Commando 2 would also be fantastic. (On a sidenote, the Rep. Com. books are really good, at least as good as the game....)

Or BFIII, or JKIV, or KOTORIII... lots of great possibilities. Or something entirely new, of course.
