Downloadable Content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? We Have Some Proof…
We’ve just got word from a source that was at LucasArt’s game division today and had some interesting information concerning Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. As our source was walking through the halls he was invited into their Foley room. If some of you are wondering what the Foley room is; it’s where sound is reordered live for movies and games.
As he watched two Foley sound technicians finishing up some work, he asked them, “what game are you recording for“. The two men responded and said it was for the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game, and they’re working on “new content” but weren’t allowed to go into detail. What exactly do they mean “new content”. Generally speaking, the Foley room recordings are done well in advance and Star Wars is scheduled to be released September 16th. So why would they still need to record sound for the game? From what it seemed like and how it was worded, LucasArts is already well underway and creating downloadable content for the Force Unleashed. Which makes sense, this Star Wars game could be the biggest game for the franchise up to this point.
On a side note, the same game had 40 members of the San Francisco orchestra and recorded two hours of original music at Skywalker Sound. As well as the producers recording the Blue Angels flying overhead and using the sound for some of the Force effects.
The game will be released on September 16th for all platforms.

Do you have an actual source for this? Just wondering, because “We’ve just got word from a source” sounds a little bit like you don’t actually have a source, and are just hyping the game.

We do have a source, and we’ll unveil him/her soon, we just want to clarify that it’s okay to do so…

So when do you predict we’ll find out about the source, and how sure are you that this means DLC

“The game will be available for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 16th and September 28th for the Wii.”
Umm, and the rest of the versions?
