>brand-new action adventure game which tells an original Star Wars™ story around a surviving Padawan set shortly after the events of Star Wars™: Episode II
Who else cautiously optimistic? I know Take-Two are the ones developing but is still always there and I don't think EA has created a single good star wars game yet.
he's not the lead writer. Avellone basically exists as bait that devs can hire to write a character so they can say CHRIS AVELLONE WORKED ON OUR GAME to lure in retards like you.
Joshua Williams
How do you know that though?
Juan Brown
What's this shit? Based Rian deconstructed Star Wars and revealed it to be a fraud. Star Wars are over, OP, what are you stupid? Didn't you understand the message behind based Rian's film? Leave your house, kill the Star Wars fan inside of you, grow up. Frankly, being a Star Wars fan in a post-TLJ world is embarrassing.
Jack Collins
Sadly that boat sailed when they outed Hennig and closed visceral. This is going to be open world full of meaningless quests. I guarantee that.
> Trusting EA
Ah, you must be young... i envy you.
Benjamin Jenkins
because Aaron Contreras, lead narrative designer of Mafia 3, is the Narrative Lead for Jedi Fallen Order
Alexander Ward
inb4 its a nigger, a woman or other minority that goes Are we the baddies?
You know it will be shit and if you tell yourself otherwise and get hyped you should be gassed
>trusting Disney Yeah and Lucas is actually going to be heavily involved in the production of sequel trilogy, did you hear that?
Hudson Anderson
Star Wars is dead to me.
Kevin Fisher
>lead narrative designer of Mafia 3 AAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA
Henry Ortiz
yea no point in star wars any more
Gavin Russell
>Who else cautiously optimistic? I'm not, but there's enough green flags to keep me interested and see if it turns out to be another gem like Titanfall 2 despite the EA label.
Oof. Get ready for the story of a Mutt padawan learning from a Black woman Jedi Master before the nazi empire kills her.
Ryan Hall
It will be full of pay to win and pay to skip """"optional"""" microtransactions that will ruin the game. And you will all be SO SURPRISED once again
Zachary Butler
Hear how Respawn and Lucasfilm collaborated on this original Star Wars story, following a young Padawan’s journey in the Dark Times following Order 66.
EA did everything to kill Titanfall 2 though, never ever is anything like this going to be released by EA again.
Carson Jackson
Congratulations. You posted in a EA shill thread.
Jacob Bailey
Might give this a shot. EA looks to be turning things around these days.
Charles Peterson
Did you fucking copy paste a press release to me you little shit? This is not what they're paying you for. Rewrite it and make it personal for me, then maybe I'll click your link. Get to work wagie.
Ayden Lopez

Jaxon Jenkins
I mean you asked if Lucasfilms was involved :^)
Gabriel Cox
after him i also want a personalized ad based off my google analytics. chop chop wagie

>EA Disney Star Wars I've been a fan of SW since I was 6 but seriously, it's dead. And as long as this is not JK4 I'm not interested anyway
Tyler King
do you know how to read?
James Bailey
No, by Lucas I meant Lucas. As in Lucas.
Ryan Roberts
> I know Take-Two are the ones developing What? how come no one else corrected this. Respawn is developing it
Nolan Taylor
EA has turned nothing around you blatant shill.
Brandon Sanders
OP says it’s after episode 2 so set in the clone wars and you say it’s after order 66 meaning after episode 3. So which is it?
Brandon Price
>EA guilty until proven innocent
i expect shitty story with rigged gamblingboxes and preachy shit.
if it's actually good; nice, gonna give it a whirl. If not, nothing is really lost.
you make it seem like a game can't start in one year and continue/end 5+ years later after a timeskip
Joshua Howard
Sigil looks cool but I can't believe they'd focus too much on interesting/original EU stuff. So bored of clones and Vader.
Daniel Sanders
That’d be too much work since they’d need to make assets for clones, imperial troops, droids, rebels etc... and it’s a single player focused game with high production values so it’s one or other, not both.
>inb4 bf2 2005 Games are more expensive to make now and more complex.
Josiah Harris
>EA HAH no chance this will be good in any way
Brayden Myers
>New Star Wars movies >New Star Wars games Neither are centered around obviously best Star Wars story.
How did they fix it? I suffered from claustrophobia when I tested it due to how small and cramped the maps were.
Easton Williams
They didn't fix anything.
Hunter Hall
>>EA fucking dropped. call me when disney lets someone capable of producing anything reminiscent of quality make a star wars game.
Sebastian Williams
Like that new battlefield 2 game with rebels/imperials/cis/clones/the order/rebels again?
Isaac Brown
>>EA is based do you even understand our language or are you just using words you and your research department haphazardly put together?
Ryder Ross
>take two Respawn is making this, fully owned by EA.
Aiden Garcia
I think its supposed to be like how monks will avoid having money and nice things. People would assume a Jedi would have really nice, flashy things so if they look homeless they aren't calling attention to themselves.
Jason Perez
they removed the pay to win lootboxes, added some content that should've been there on release, and fixed a couple of things they broke themselves.
It's still shit but retards on the internet think it's a "whole new game" now somehow. They still didn't add a CO-OP system. You still can't play AGAINST your friends. You are STILL forced to play through the sequel trilogy maps online as you can't pick an era, and the hero system is STILL bullshit and abused online where people pick heroes and camp the whole game so nobody else gets a turn.
Not to mention that the geonosis map cant hold a candle to the old 2005 version.
And we STILL dont have the REAL heroes vs villains mode from the old game with 40 players or whatever.
And the maps are still small with vehicles being killstreaks/powerups instead of actually being placed on the map. Grenades and shit are still cooldowns.
Carter Walker
This is EA we're talking about here.
>Who else cautiously optimistic? Oh, you're a shill. How much are they paying you guys these days? Because the money obviously isn't going into the games.
Sounds about right. Saw a thumbnail on youtube about how they had fixed the game but I knew it had to be bull. Damn right about geonosis. The area I could move my AAT in the new map was the size of a swimming pool. Completely useless slugfest.
Liam King
>mfw watching Star Wars get another dogshit game I'll avoid like the plague
>tfw have an ungodly amount of hours in jedi academy multiplayer >Nothing ever came close again multiplayer-wise or ever will
Elijah Cooper
OP also says it's developed by Take-Two, not Respawn like it actually is, so OP is just a shill talking garbage
Joshua King
Frankly I'm surprised Disney even let EA attempt this game after all their failures. When this game inevitably sucks i'm sure they'll get dropped.
Michael Gonzalez
It's not like Disney is any better
Mason Perez
Titanfall 2 has a good campaign, but I very much doubt a massive mainstream game like this will have good melee combat which is the basic thing you need in a lightsaber focused game. I wouldn't doubt you don't get one for a long time, and then when you do, its maybe actually good but you never use it a ton for story reasons.
Adam Ward
>EA >Star Wars >original
something doesnt add up.
Logan Garcia
Disney signed a 10 year Star Wars exclusive deal with EA so the shit games are going to keep coming for another 4-5 years.
Easton Russell
>a shit dev >will give your game cred for money: the writer
shill, disappear
Hudson Sanders
Not anymore. Disney made sure to delete the EU.
Jayden Lee
>EA >based OH No no no no Battlefront 2 is playable now, (fuck you I like it) but it's too little too late and it will be dead by summer. Its current state is what it SHOULD have been at launch
Jose Powell
disney killed star wars so...
Nolan Edwards
I'm so sick and tired of Clone Wars/Galactic Imperial era Star Wars games/stories
Chase Murphy
It will only be good if it ends with Vader tracking you down and murdering you like a bitch. Fuck this setting.
Logan Ward
Oh that reminds me of the "You'll get to play as the empire in the campaign!" Yeah for like three fucking missions then the elite soldier switch sides. The entire company is run by morons.
David Baker
It's guaranteed to be a human minority or a woman so I'm not even interested.
Would be 100% kino if it's an alien, though.
Jose Parker
>wanting Disney/EA to taint Old Republic leave it alone
Robert Ortiz
there's guaranteed to be more Jedi that survive pre-ANH than just Ahsoka, Obi-wan, and Yoda. Kanan almost counts but he dies like a day or two before Rogue One happens, Ezra isn't really a Jedi and is location-unknown like half a day before RO, Luke/Leia aren't in on the whole force deal yet. Who knows who else the Story Group will allow to survive until then and beyond.
Well yeah but that's unrelated to the campaign being bad.
Adrian Flores
whatever happened to that bounty hunter game that was coming out? There should be more SW games in the imperial or post imperial era.
Henry Thomas
Disney-era is already setting the foundation for Old Republic era shit every now and then. It's even (((rumored))) to be the setting of the retarded trilogy they let Rian keep his hands on.
Aaron Kelly
They've been cancelling Star Wars games like crazy.
Aaron Ramirez
>Disney-era is already setting the foundation for Old Republic era shit every now and then How? They had the hammerheads cameo and...?
Evan Campbell
>dude vader like hunted and killed all the jedis >except that one, and that other one, and that one too and....
Hudson Morales
>its gonna be like Force Unleashed but without the mountain dew force powers
Who could have guessed Anakin would fuck up a task assigned to him?
Gabriel Howard
Literally read the newest 25-issue Vader comic. It shows him hunting down Jedi successfully and using the Inquisitors he is forced to train to kill other rogue Jedi. There will always be Jedi that slip through the cracks for some reason or another. The comic even shows some of those possibilities: a Jedi that left the order over ten years before ROTS, a Jedi that left the order after TPM, etc. You can pull a Jedi from literally anywhere with those "valid" excuses already in play.
Logan Flores
I'm perfectly happy with this. I never liked the idea of every single Jedi being eradicated.
Ian Gonzalez
Episode 3 is the best Star Wars movie
Christian Ramirez
I mean considering there were 2 surviving jedi in the FUCKING OT I very much doubt that they were the only ones
Jose Gonzalez
YEAH CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EA GOT THEIR HANDS ON THE OLD REPUBLIC
The big announcement at Celebration is they'll be canceling it.
Jason Fisher
>Hammerheads >Kylo's saber >Showing Malachor whatever-number in Rebels and referencing some old shit >hinting at the hundred years darkness or whatever in the mainline SW comic ages ago >Bane by virtue of TCW and TPM easily some other one-off, off-hand mentions I didn't understand at the time.
Nolan Allen
Star Wars is dead. The “Star Wars” you see now is its desecrated corpse being moved around like a puppet.
Brody Taylor
>fixed a sequel that was subpar in content than the first game. >suddenly means they are based This is why this industry will continue shitting on it's consumers. It's amazing how little self control "gamers" have.
Jace Ward
>Take-Two I hope this doesn't mean another EPIC exclusive. But seeing seeing how it's EA, it's probably going on Origin.
James Morgan
Is this part of the prequels or the OT?
Juan Green
At least Respawn will be able to sell the assets in the next Apex Battle Pass.
Joshua Perez
no shit, retard
Jeremiah Barnes
I doubt it'll be good, but if it is, it'll be the first plus mark for EA in a long time. If it's good. That means it can't have microtransactions or trannies. And the combat need a to be on the level of Jedi academy
Cooper Murphy
After episode 3, you play a young padawan after the order 99
>after the events of Star Wars™: Episode II Gee i fucking wonder
Isaac Gonzalez
>Lucasfilm idiot
Easton Ward
Listen here you little shit. If its a few weeks or months after 3 then its part of the prequel trilogy.
Ian Hughes
>EA also that image is from like last year
Easton Mitchell
The real question why is there such a big push to normalize and indulge in a mental illness?
Landon Sullivan
Me too m8. With Disney on one side and EA on another, and the complete annihilation of the EU with the retcon superlaser, we'll probably never see a good Star Wars game ever again.
Lincoln Parker
>Surviving Padawan Already worried that lightsabers will be competing for screen time with non-jedi weapons.
Nathan Lopez
Once again, Disney had nothing to do with SWTOR
Colton White
>10 year exclusive deal >only 2 "real" games to show for it I don't know who is more incompetent. Disney or EA.
Joshua Gomez
Who said anything about Disney?
David Price
And? EA is still half the equation in "Disney/EA taints Old Republic"
Michael Long
>retarded trilogy they let Rian keep his hands on. I refuse to believe they'll actually let him make another Star Wars movie, or at least with as much free reign they let him have on TLJ.
Gavin Garcia
Disney for trusting EA in the first place
Charles Lewis
you do know who owns the IP right now
Andrew Foster
Pretty sure thats a typo, it probably takes place after the jedi get slaughtered in III, unless maybe it starts during the Clone Wars.
Justin Howard
Think they did it because some suit looked at a chart of "most profitable game publisher" and picked EA because of that, or was it favors for friends?
Luke Flores
They added stuff, but that doesn't really change the core gameplay being boring.
Jayden Hill
Jedi academy and Jedi Knight did this and they were great
Ultimately I'd say Disney. They could have whored the license out to any number of companies or individual studios, but instead they chose one company with a few inept studios under it's name. EA then fucked it up by only spreading the license out to DICE, Respawn, and whoever else, who could only focus on making one game at a time. Then they started cancelling some games recently, making the already small number of games in progress dwindle down. It takes a long time to make a game from scratch, even with easily borrowed SW assets like sounds and 3D scans of existing models in the Ranch. That's why you need a ton of studios working on a ton of games to make any kind of noticeable impact
Jacob Morales
Correct. Now imagine what both EA & Disney would do with old republic
Angel Parker
>unless maybe it starts during the Clone Wars. use your brain user. the padawan has to have it's backstory shown and the easiest place to show any progress towards that is the war that put just about every padawan in the Temple out in the field, whether they were ready or not.
Kayden Gomez
I'd bet money the lightsaber is fucked and you cant use it until near the end or at least half way through the game. You will have to rely on other weapons.
Christian Reyes
Your guess is as good as mine. I think they just pulled the name out of a hat, just like they did with Rian Johnson. Seriously tho, they were in the "Starwars is unsinkable" phase, so they most probably went with the ones who could offer a more aggressive monetization scheme
Christopher Walker
EA probably pitched themselves as "an experienced Star Wars publisher with many development teams with Star Wars experience" because of SWTOR, and having Bioware and "Pandemic" as part of their stable.
Andrew Jenkins
I have no problem with that. I'd even like it there was a "you should only use your lightsaber as a last resort" mechanic, but >EA
Landon Scott
Rian got paid 500k for a shitty short story by disney so he could make Brick. Hes definitely someones illigitimate son.
Austin Myers
I have no faith in any Star Wars related products. This is gonna suck and suck HARD. Get ready to pay a lot for very little.
Still has the same problem where new players are at a complete disadvantage compared to sweaty nerds because weapons are restricted to level instead of being available to all like Halo or battle royales. Sole reason I havent bought it.
Wyatt White
We already had that GoW shit in force unleashed and ene that had better plot, story and context that fucking TLJ and BattleFront 2 combined.
Jose Hernandez
fuck that I hate how almost all star wars media says fuck interesting and cool jedi shit i dont want soldiers in space i want fucking laser sword wizards
Kevin Turner
but
Ian Kelly
Going by EAfront 2 we'll probably be playing as a female minority that had amazing wisdom and was able to predict order 66 but the oppressive Jedi males didn't listen to her then the rest of the game sees her going against the big bad: a white male.
Adam Green
If its female, its gonna be shit
Jaxon Thompson
silly goose its confirmed to be a white dude. jerome from gotham is doing the voice
Jacob Rodriguez
ABSOLUTE KINO
Luis Ortiz
>We follow the story of a lesbian jedi padawan Mary >She escaped to a desert (not tatooine) planet after fighting 2 siths at same time and destroying a venator-class star destroyer with the help of her super trusty cool boys squad that sacrificed their lifes >She find there yoda and obi wan hiding in fear and pissing their pants. >She gets preachy with them and tell them that their opinions suck. >She beats them and show them how wrong they are and how women are superior >Impressed by her power they tell her to go to a journey to a forgotten jedi temple to find the ultimate jedi secret. >She decides first to visit her lover on the imperial planet and protect her. >*love beats everything* >Few destroyed fleets and humiliated siths later they get into the temple. >They fight togather the ghosts legendary jedi and siths >Finally they reach the holiest secret jedi scroll >The force is female >Credit scene rolls
Here your onions star wars story as you ordered sir! And btw yes force unleashed was a onions story especially the second.
Chase Butler
>it's a porg
Justin Jones
>Jedi Valeska
Austin Phillips
Hey man, Brick is pretty alright
Ethan Hughes
TFU wasn't that much GoW, the second one on the other hand was specially with the rage meter thing. I hated that.
Blake Morales
I liked Brick as well, but I still don't know how he went from that, and a couple of Breaking Bad episodes, to getting total creative control over a mainline Star Wars movie.
Ryder James
I didn't play Academy, but the saber becomes the primary weapon pretty early on. I don't necessarily trust EA to follow through on this, because the disney movies themselves have been sorely lacking jedi/sith content.
Brody Kelly
>I know Take-Two are the ones developing It's Respawn. Take Two is a publisher. What the fuck are you smoking, user?
Lincoln Martin
Avellone is a man whore and will put his name on anything. Look at all the shit he is doing, no way he has a big impact on this game same with the other big projects he's spent the past few years on.
James Hughes
Disney and EA killed any interest I had in Star Wars. It’s crazy how bad they fucked up
Written by Chris Avellone, main protagonist confirmed white male too. Stop with this horseshit.
Caleb Morales
>cautiously optimistic >ea youre either very young, very new, or havent been paying attention
Robert Cox
Nothing wrong with any of those games. They all range from decent to great.
Lincoln Perez
I doubt it'll be any better than TFU 1/2 and I had no desire to play that. No way it'll live up to the Jedi Knight games.
Cooper Davis
Wait what the fuck did he write for Kingmaker?
Joseph Morris
To be fair, Respawn made Titanfall games and Apex. At least in terms of gameplay they have solid reputation.
Jackson Lewis
The point that user is trying to make is that he gets credited in all those games were he just wrote a very small part
Lincoln Lopez
Quality isn't the point, the point is that all those games are him writing 1-2 characters and the rest is done by others. He has no impact on the overall project and his name isn't a guaranteed seal of quality.
nok-nok
Henry Ward
Sounds cool. But it's made by EA, so what's the point? It's going to be trash.
Gavin Gutierrez
>nok-nok Makes sense. Kinda scummy to credit Avellone as a writer for such a minor role
Christian Wilson
Seeing as how JFO is just a single player linear action game, I fail to see why they would need any other writers. Plus, I have not seen anybody else attached to it.
That said, point absolutely taken.
Jaxson Jackson
So you're saying there are more? You can't write around yoda very specifically saying he and luke are the last two. Any Jedi character has to die before rotj
Anthony Campbell
It's EA. I am heavily pessimistic about anything involving EA whatsoever.
That being said, I will be paying attention and will withhold final judgement until I get my hands on the game itself.
Bentley Garcia
>Torment >Tyranny >PoE >Pathfinder >good to great
Thomas Green

Yes. Contrarian opinion can go fuck itself.
What's wrong with Far Cry 3?
Xavier Bailey
>Far Cry 3 I strongly disagree with your opinion. Imagine I posted a unflattering picture that's supposed to represent you or a smug anime girl from some shitty FotM anime
Jose Myers
I was just thinking last night how fucking crazy it was that there hadn't really been something in the vein of the jedi knight games for so long, so I will at least be keeping my eyes on it, if nothing else to see how it turns out.
Adam Sullivan
>Imagine I posted a unflattering picture that's supposed to represent you or a smug anime girl from some shitty FotM anime That would only make me thing you're a smoothbrained faggot whose opinion is not worth considering, desu.
Aiden Ross
And you'd be right, that's why I didn't actually do it. But still, I found Farcry's 3 premise to be interesting but the actual plot and writing to be very underwhelming. Also It had one of the worst MC I've had the displeasure of experiencing.
To each their own I guess.
Aiden Williams
Mafia 3's story was okay.
Charles Bennett
Using advanced mental gymnastics by looking at the title I'm hoping this might actually be a Jedi Knight-style game.
Cooper Ortiz
>Also It had one of the worst MC I've had the displeasure of experiencing. Eh, I found MC's ark to be pretty well done. His voice acting leaves a lot to be desired.
Vaas was 10/10 villain though.
I mean, I'm not saying it has blown me away, but I did enjoy the story of it.
Blake Harris

Alexander Butler

Cooper Sanchez
who are owned by EA. I don't care how based Respawn was before being bought out, they are EA now. Just like Bioware, DICE, and all the other fallen dev teams.
