New Force Unleashed DLC...Unleashed

Yeah, sorry, that was pretty terrible. Stop looking at me! Go download Luke Skywalker!

Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars.
Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars.
Some time back, LucasArts announced two pieces of downloadable content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I guess it was right around the point where the game sold approximately eleventy billion copies (rough estimate). The meatier, more interesting of the two packages consists of a brand-new level set in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

But that's not what you get today! Today is the release of the game's costume pack, which will run you 400 Microsoft points on Xbox Live Marketplace, or $4.99 on the PlayStation Store. Here's what your five bones will get you.

  • Hooded Combat Gear
  • General Starkiller
  • Sith Assassin
  • Imperial Commando
  • Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker
  • Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker
  • Darth Sion
  • Ki-Adi-Mundi
  • Kit Fisto

As far as I know, these are just cosmetic costume changes and don't confer new Force powers or anything snazzy. Download 'em today! Or don't!

i have no idea who will buy this stuff. i mean, $5 for a skin? and they don't even move different or have special abilities? i think this is an issue of quantity versus quality that they're on the wrong side of...

If it's cosmetic changes only, no thanks.  That's a bit steep for different appearances.

$5 for 9 costumes isn't too bad, but I'll wait until the new campaign DLC rolls out and I'm playing the game again.

I assume this is all canon? Darth Vader's secret apprentice is Anakin Skywalker?

Darth Sion? That's pretty cool, that they'll reach back into KOTOR. I'd rather see Nihilus or a fully sithed-out Revan, but that counts for something.

Costumes for $5?  I wouldn't pay $5 for the game itself.

Agreed, this should have been free.  My guess is those 2 new levels are going to run 800 MSP.  Boooo!

This is why I lost all respect and hope for Star Wars. Everyone treats it like a milking machine. None of them (starting from Lucas) really gives a boot about it. And if they don't why should we?

$5 for 10 costumes really isn't all that bad. 50 cents per costume...Really, if you can afford this $60 game than I'm sure you spend 5 bucks on costumes if you really want to own these costumes. That being said, I don't own this mediocre game, so meh.

..........ITS 5 BUCKS!!!

Unless you really really really need that foot long from subway this shouldn't really break the bank.

5 bucks for 10 new costumes.
Yeah its your opinion and your money, but for the love of god 5 bucks is too much now?
I could see if it was 10 or 15 but 5?

/rant over.

It was a nice, decent game in it's time, but I don't think I'll go back to it with all the crazy games out now.

Blah, DLC for a single player game... that only changes your appear? Also it costs money? Count me out. This kind of stuff isn't the best kind of thing to release so far from the release.

how about releasing content for free! that always wins the people over and it makes people who wouldn't buy a game normally buy it. 5 bucks is weak sauce.

Only cheap people think 5 dollars is alot of money. If the game was halo and the DLC was a new master chief outfit or something retarded like that all you people would go beg your parents for the money.

Cheap? don't forget broke. There are other things I would like to spend 5 bucks on from the arcade that will give me more fun than these trinkets.

I love how people spout bullshit like "if you can spend 60 on a game, you can afford to spend 5 on a set of costumes." These folks have never lived in a low-income area. I buy maybe three boxed videogames a year and I consider myself pretty into my hobby. It's not cause I'm cheap. It's cause I'm broke won't spend money on something that doesn't have a function.

You think this is bad? Look at all the skins they've just released for Dead Space. It's terrible. Plus Dead Space is so dark you wouldn't be able to see the skins anyway.

The only two costumes I care about are Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan. It would probably be really cool for like the first ten minutes, then get boring again.
