All new Star Wars Jedi Game

 

[TheLaw 860]

I wanna be hyped.... but EA. Been looking forward to this for a while now but again hype is very little...

[Penchamus 411]

Totally agree Law, I want to be keen for this but EA has a history of fucking things us up royally just to make a dollar...

[Phobos 1,212]

In Respawn we trust !

 

Seriously though, just the trailer looks better than the whole of Battlefront 2's single player bait and switch cliche story.

Yep was going to say the same. Being done by Respawn! Can even see footage of wall running. 

 

I also heard a rumor that the fighting mechanics will be similar to Sekiro. Funnily enough while playing Sekiro I said to myself how good would a starwars game be with Lightsaber fight mechanics like this. Not sure how true that is tho now that I found out Respawn are doing it, but man that would be awesome.

 

Story line does look good and its set right in my favorite part of the SW timeline, Basically the Empire Era from ROTS to TLJ.  

 

My hopes are slightly high for a good singleplayer game here.

 

Hell i'd be down for this to be a movie based on that trailer!

I doubt it will be at Sekiro kind of level for combat, I think that's just a bit of misconstrued fan hype (would be incredible though!) at this stage but I am excited for a decent Star Wars single player story driven game again! It has been too long!

I was hoping they would move away from the movie timeline again. Something well into the past like the setting KOTOR had works so well due to you not having any ideas of where the story has to go.

Yeah that is an awesome time period as well.

 

Pretty sure I heard on the rumor mill that the Movies to be done by the Game of Thrones guys was going to be in this Period.

 

Im happy enough tho with them doing something here. Kind of always thought it was possible that other Jedi escaped and hid and telling that story (because they hid) wont really impact too much on the main arc. Its actually one aspect i thought the new Trilogy really dropped the ball on. They could have really expanded the universe and had a few more Jedi that had come out of hiding after ROTJ in the mix. Giving us something different instead of the old couple of Jedi vs a couple of Sith (well we should have had the Knights Of Ren??)

Wasn't sure if this has its own topic already or everything star wars just goes in here but......

After watching this I'm actually really excited about this game now!

 

[MasterShrive 2,017]

Every chance I will give this game a chance.

Yep. I had written this off completely until I saw this.

 

Looks like Dark Souls type combat and is not as linear as I first thought.

Apparently you can choose which planets to fly to and go back several times. 

 

Could finally be a decent Star Wars game and an actual full single player game from EA (even tho its really Respawn) that doesn't involve any further transactions. Feels like 1999 again.

 

Actually have watched a few interesting Vids on EA vs Respawn. Apparently EA sabotaged the release of Titanfall 2 so that Respawn would struggle and EA wanted to buy them on the cheap. Not sure how true that is but interesting non the less.

 

[Phobos 1,212]

Nice, could very well be good. Same initial thoughts, hope it's a change.

Sadly, that's probably not something you'd put past EA.

[MiniSanders 588]

I refuse to get hyped for a Star Wars game... if it is good then awesome...

But honestly, history isn't on their side.

[Noods 290]

Yeah I wouldn't say Im hyped.

 

More hopeful

[MasterShrive 2,017]

That would be an interesting list: Good Star Wars games vs Bad Star Wars games. My lord that could be one-sided.

[MiniSanders 588]

Honestly there have been some frankly awesome Star Wars games... (KOTOR 1 & 2, The whole Dark Forces series incl Jedi Academy, the original Battlefronts)

It just seems that the newer stuff is shit, and so few and far between that they are so memorable.

 

Is there anything other than BF 1 & 2 in the last 10 years?

[MasterShrive 2,017]

I suppose they kept adding stuff to SWTOR, which I still haven't played as much as I would like and probably never will. KOTOR was great. Never got around to the second one though. Jedi Academy III is the first one we had (LANed it a bit at uni which was hilarious). I've got The Force Unleashed games but haven't played them either.

 

When they nailed it, they really nailed it. But I have a feeling there was also a lot of rubbish games out there too - and the recent Battlefront games were certainly underwhelming.

Early days were awesome. 

 

The whole x wing tie fighter series.

The SNES platforming games were some of the best platforming games of all time.

Empire at war was a wicked Strategy game

I missed the whole KOTAR and early Battlefront games but if I was gaming though that period I'm pretty sure I would have been frothing. 

 

But since then there has been absolutely nothing. Even the amount of releases has been small in the last few years. Back in the day there were Star Wars games left right end center!

[MasterShrive 2,017]

I really wanted to read the X-Wing books too, as they're always near the top of any Star Wars list.

 

Never got to Empire At War either

 

They were certainly keen to make money anyway they could back in the day. I think if I'd found the original Battlefront II online gameplay I would have suffered a very bad addiction.

Interesting that you mention this. You would think Disney would be more concerned about a company who has held the license for 10 years and have done nothing but cut projects and make 2 gambling sims. They must be making enough money some where along the way, maybe mobile?

 

Separately,

The only reason i am considering a Star Wars game by Ea is because of Respawn; Headed by the duo who also headed CoD 1,2  as well as Modern Warefare 1 & 2 before leaving and forming Respawn.

I'll wait for the reviews and decide.

I'm actually half way through reading those again.

 

The X-wing series is awesome. Tells the story of how they took back Coruscant and how the Empire fragmented into a few powerful warlords that the Rebels/New Republic had to fight against and it was all new characters or smaller characters from the movies who were the main players so they couldn't really screw up any main Plots  

 

So much better then the new Disney Timeline after ROTJ.  

[MasterShrive 2,017]

Who has made the leap into this? And what do you think?

[AussieNinja159 79]

i have brought it and it is amazing!!

Combat feels really good, Plays well, The game itself looks amazing. 

without a doubt well worth a play

9.5/10

[MasterShrive 2,017]

Well that's certainly a positive.
