General Star Wars Random Thoughts Thread — Page 238

I think E3 this year will have some good announcements, especially considering EA opted out of the main conference and instead is doing their own event. We already know there’s a third person action/adventure game coming up from Respawn Entertainment (a company founded by the people who made the good Call of Duties), and I’m sure we’ll be hearing about that at least and probably others come June.

Can we get some real Star Wars games now? Besides Battlefront that is…

I think TFA is the first Star Wars film not to have a game based directly on it.

Well if this counts, TFA does have a game.

I meant to mention the Lego version. Which is fine, let Lego take the film-based games since games based on films that try to be serious very rarely do well.

Well there doesn’t seem to be any serious story-focused SW games coming out any time soon. The last proper one was original SWTOR in 2011. I am really not interested in any other kind.

Just wait until E3. I bet we hear something cool.

Third-person action/adventure can definitely be story-focused, too!

I actually prefer 3rd-person type. After all, all the best were more or less 3rd-person (KOTOR, SWTOR, JK2, JKA, etc.). I just can’t stand LEGO kind of stuff, even though it is kinda story-focused.

Anyway, we will see.

Disney Infinity is dead.

So did Disney just kill Infinity to compensate for going over budget in Shanghai?

I wish they finished Star Wars: 1313
It looked like it was going to be the same quality as The Last of Us but set in the Star Wars universe and stars a young boba fett that wasn’t a Jango clone!

Which is still being updated! There’s a huge ongoing story arc that they set in motion recently and it’s pretty epic in scope.

Check it out.

And here are the devs discussing their storytelling goals for it.

P.S. the epic backstory cinematic trailer

Thanks for the links!

I did have a short look at the Knights of the Fallen Empire trailer when it first came out (at that time I already stopped playing the game) but I didn’t quite like the direction/story. I preferred the classic Empire/Sith vs Republic/Jedi setting of the original game content. To be honest, I didn’t like any of the expansions, expect for Galactic Starfighter.

I always found the Naboo scenes in AOTC to be extremely depressing. I think it has to do with the cinematography and bad CGI. I do love how Patty and Ani have a picnic when she’s supposed to be in hiding.

And they live in a palace. Inconspicuous, lol.
