What's the catch?

If the game is good they'll use every ounce of good will to push tons of dogshit garbage afterwards.

More likely it'll be shit though.

This is the equivalent of a guy bragging about not beating his wife.

Countless micro DLC

it's designed to fail so they can baitclaim white males who want single player games are no longer a viable demographic and continue to make lootbox trash that panders to "diversity and inclusivity"

Yeah, they tend to say this shit so it won't get them bad press, but we all know that EA always tries to squeeze every dime they can from their mouth-breathing retarded fanbase.

the catch is half a game, with the other half being in the form of "season passes" for DLC installments.

The game will be divided into 'episodes' and you'll have to pay $60 for each one.

What's with the epic meme that RPG games shouldn't have multiplayer mode? Even Baldur's Gate had multiplayer.

It's probably just a goodwill game they do every time when their popularity is down the shitter. Then everyone is like "hey EA is actually changing for the best!" before they go back to milking their customers and studios to death.

>no microtransactions or loot boxes
>In a single player game
How is this a big deal? How many single player games have these?

Isn't it obvious?

The gameplay is going to be trash, the story is going to be trash.

It will be done on purpose. This is so EA can convince people that "nobody wants this kind of game".

Overpriced dlc expansions.

Bad gameplay. It's a huge red flag when a hyped-up reveal event for the game, separate from E3, has no fucking gameplay footage.

what's the over under on the mc being gay and storm troopers killed his boyfriend who's actually brother of the woman the mc will team up with?

the surprising part isn't necessarily that there's no mtx, but rather that EA is backing the kind of game that is difficult to monetize with mtx in the first place (single player)
I really wonder why a company so accustomed to raking in stupid amounts of money from microtransactions would bother giving a project like this the green light at all. Maybe the funding is coming from the Disney side, they're probably less worried about loot box revenue and more concerned with the long game of building some value back into the Star Wars brand.

I'm really surprised that EA can advertise a game as not having loot boxes or microtransactions when they push that in literally every other game? As a company aren't they supposed to stick to a single message? Presumably that message isn't "We know you all fuckin' hate that shit, just ignore that most of our games revolve around it"

It's funny they have to announce it. It's them saying they know the practice pisses people off.

It's a low risk bone to throw at detractors who have been screaming about EA's bullshit for years. If it makes money, great, but more importantly for the suits at EA it's something they can point at and say "see, we really ARE listening!" as they continue to monetize everything they can before the government eventually steps in

Because they tried that with their last Star Wars game and it flopped harder than a max level magikarp.

>I really wonder why a company so accustomed to raking in stupid amounts of money from microtransactions would bother giving a project like this the green light at all

I figure they're trying to backtrack all the hate they have been given for the lootbox shit but it's fucking EA in 2019. You know they will sneak in some dumb shit like "It's not microtransactions! It's "Jedi powerstones" to help you unlock abilities" and "PRE-ORDER NOW TO PLAY THE BONUS "END OF DARTH MAUL" BONUS MISSION!"

>Having to go out of your way to market your single player game as having no lootboxes/microtransactions as if it's a positive thing

it's surreal

MTX / gacha are infinitely worse in korean / jap games.

Tbh EA know they fucked up hard and will try redeem themselves with this

It still be a shit game though

It plays like an Uncharted game i.e. boring movie shit.

>become a Jedi
Fuck that. I'll be interested when they make a game where you're a Sith. No bullshit "light side" Sith, no "change of heart halfway through the story" shit, just you being a fucking Sith Lord and doing whatever you have to do to take over the galaxy and fuck over the Jedi.
Tell me when they make that game. Even then I hold out no hope for it to be good, but at least I'll keep an eye on it then.

Well you can tell the house of mouse put a leash on EA after BF2s shitstorm.
The no lootboxes and stuff is orders from Disney.
EA bends the knee to the mouse after what happened last year, cuppled with the films get a less than welcome response.
I expect their will be a Disney "handler" in the dev studio at all times and everything has to have board members approval.

That.

I am one of the mongoloids that preordered EABF1, found out it was hot garbage then went right ahead and preordered EABF2. So, take my opinion with a handful of salt, but this game looks promising as fuck. They are most likely aware that not only are the fans not happy (not important which sucks but it's reality) but Disney isn't either (VERY important as this may take away their money maker).

Just, for the love of Christ, do not preorder the game. Don't do it.

You retards actually think games can forever be 60 bucks

You see everything go up in price over time but your beloved videogames are magically the exception

Because they know that their reputation is shit and if Disney hears about them fucking a Star Wars game up massively a third time in a row, then they're going to find a better publisher.

>And no, we won't be adding them.
this is the most pathetic shit I've read from a AAA developer
EA should have died so fucking long ago

Games weren't always 60 bucks, junior

And these companies only trap themselves by spending way more than they need to on marketing for games the entire internet is already talking about

Kyle Katarn doesn't exist anymore in nu-canon

The game honestly seems boring. It's not shit and I bet most people will find it fun but the protagonist, antagonist, general atmosphere and what little we have seen of the story seem so fucking bland that I'm not interested in it at all.
Plus it looks like those one of those cinematic shits that always suck balls.

I'm excited for Respawn's game!

ngl star wars battle royal sound pretty awesome

no they're not, EA invented that shit you dumb sand nigger. Just because 5 gooks and 12 island gooks bought 150,000 yen dollars worth of mtx doesnt mean its popular.

Low budget and F2P games are doing better than ever. Premium titles have to compete with superior games that cost 1/3 of their sticker price. Going up in price would hurt them a lot.

The game is 3 minutes long.

Games have been $60 since at least the snes. There was a time when discs were new that they were 50$, but that was pretty breif. That lasted maybe all of the ps1 generation.

the game will be bad

pretty sure BFV has no boxes you can buy

you'd have to install origin and give EA money

QTEs and cutscenes up the ass.

Possibly this, we know what big budget premium single player games are like now

>Needing to say these things about a singleplayer game
It'll have DLC. Not microtransactions, but very overpriced DLC and exclusive pre-order levels and shit.

Please, how much was Jedi Academy at launch?

That game was 15 years ago

>Star Wars movies are getting more aggressively panned/hated
>Last few games have been shit/eye of the storm for conflict/controversy
>Actually facing massive losses with Disney breathing down their necks
>Have to advertise that the game won't be rife with the shit they've helped normalize
I mean they'll still find a way to bleed extra income out of whatever it is they put out, the only real question is how they'll try to go about it and not get called on their shit.

They can be even cheaper because the vidya industry is overvalued beyond belief and has been allowed to spiral out of control through consumer apathy. Games HAVE been getting more expensive but in less direct ways than simply upping the entrance fee. Season passes, shorter and smaller expansions, microtransactions, RNG progression systems that lock tons of equipment, special editions, and even more. Do you really think companies are keeping the baseline at $60 because they can't make ends meet otherwise? Keep your corporate cuck talking points to yourself.

Fucking based

>Yea Forums is too fucking young to remember new coke

It'll make EA money so they can go back to being the soulless company they still are. That or they're fucking lying.

It's literally the first trailer. And the game doesn't release for another 7 months.

They will never ever make a game among the likes of the Dark Maul project. Star Wars belongs to soccer moms now. They'll make these purposely shit just to not outshine the movies which is Disney's primary concern.

>Prob gonna be really short and still $60
This. Everyone praises Titanfall 2's campaign but everyone forgets that it's also really short and has no replay value.

I'm also worried about Respawn getting stretched too thin. Apex Legends content/maintenance, a Titanfall sequel, AND a new Star Wars title? I'm glad that they've been successful lately but worried that EA is making them their new golden goose now that Bioware is finally shitting the bed.

So, yeah, all evidence points to a well-made, but short and linear game that never has any time to explore its own depth.

Yuu-chan and Mika-chan are cute!

And with USD inflation over the last three decades, $60 back then was a lot more money. The buying power of a dollar in 1990 was nearly twice what it is today, which means if the price of games had scaled properly with inflation then $120 games would be normal now. Games are overall much cheaper than they used to be, comparatively.

How brazen do you have to be to talk shit about your own cancerous business practices not even 2 full years after you do it pissing off the entire community? EA must really like being talked about no matter the cost.

They pioneered it in their sports games over a decade ago.

Are you sure? I know it's been in decline ever since EA stopped paying people to play it, but I don't think EA will let such a big hit die that easily. Surely someone at EA has read enough Forbes and Bloomberg articles to realize that Fortnite stays on top by always having something new.

Also, Respawn has about 200 employees (as of 2017). Even leaving Apex with a skeleton crew of 20 people will rob the company of 10% of its manpower.

If it fails they double down on lootboxes and microtransactions in their next game

Expensive DLC/Expacs and small campaign duration.
BF2 may have tanked, but this won't stop EA from minimizing costs to deliver an overly short game that will only be "full" after 2-3 DLCs

It's published by EA

i find it worse that people are celebrating this. reminds me of that hole sharing games with microsoft and ps4

They will have full transactions and loot holocrons instead

While it was indeed a lot cheaper to develop Jedi Academy than it is to develop a AAA game in the current time, you can't forget that the industry have multiplied itself in growth, a lot more people are buying video games now than they did back in Jedi Academy days. This is a result of game looking better. Studios make better fidelity games in order to sell to a larger audience.

People always forget this when they try to argue that games should cost more just because they prices stayed more or less the same, and it's not an insignificant factor.

i dont want to be some force cuck. let me play a Bounty hunter or a han solo like character.

The catch is that we have absolutely no reason to take EA at their word, and in fact we'd be idiots to do so given their track record.
