The trailer looks good, as they all do. But the gamplay video left me a little cold. It seem very repetitive and similar to the 1st game, which is great if you enjoyed it, but looks to me as an expansion pack more than a new game that expands the story and adventure further.

I’ll wait to see some of the reviews and walkthrough videos a couple of months after release to see if this does surprise me and brings something new to the gameplay and series.
 

And I’m still hoping for that “open world” Star Wars game to happen! Has there been any solid news on that lately?

A few Star Wars “influencers” and gamers got to play the game early, in return for reviews? Just 5 of the Jedi: Survivor videos I quickly found:

I’m more interested in the FPS game, and the open world game too, than this. But it looks okay and probably will be enjoyable and a hit for those that liked the first game,

That Classic Collection calls to me. I mean they all call to me, but that Classic Collection does call more to me.

Dammit! That’ll be even more money spent on Star Wars!

Star Wars Jedi 3 Gets Exciting Announcement from Cameron Monaghan at The Direct
 

The Star Wars: Jedi franchise was confirmed to be back in active development for Star Wars Jedi 3, according to the series’ star Cameron Monaghan.

The very successful Star Wars Jedi series of video games has a lot to like about it: A charismatic lead, satisfying lightsaber combat, and a compelling storyline set between the Prequel and Original Trilogies.

The first game, Jedi: Fallen Order from 2018, saw young Cal Kestis grapple with the state of the galaxy as well as his own past as a padawan during Order 66. Its 2023 sequel Jedi: Survivor pitted Cal against the might of the Empire as well as a fearsome new villain called Rayvis.

Ocala Comic Con in Florida welcomed Cameron Monaghan of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fame for a panel on the game series (via Saix_XIII on YouTube.) It was there that the actor announced that Star Wars Jedi 3 is in development:
 

“We’re working on the third [game] and we’re in the process of doing it right now… So, that’s a big undertaking and there’s been some conversations so far. But hopefully, when all things are said and done, we’ll be able to go in and make something really cool for you guys again.”

 

I hope we get Eclipse and the FPS game before this. It’s great for the JS fans that this is getting another instalment, but c’mon, give us that FPS game next!

Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster Launches Exactly 29 Years After The Original - at Gamespot

“Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster launches February 28 for Xbox Series X-S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.”
 

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster - Reveal Trailer - 90 second video at the official Nightdive Studios channel

I like the look of this, not made it too modern, but more of an update that still looks and feels very much like the original Dark Forces. I hope so, anyway.

No mention of the price yet.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Formerly Emre1601 - computer hard drives are brittle too!

I just wish the Rogue Squadron trilogy got a remaster/re-release on modern consoles.
