Last week we had the chance to go hands on with EA and Respawn's upcoming sequel to its entry into the Star Wars Universe, playing about three hours of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. One word kept coming to mind when Bradford played the media preview: evolution.

    Anyone who has played Fallen Order and Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, how similar they are? I know in Academy you could create your own character, but in Outcast you had to play with Kyle Katarn so in a way it's similar to Fallen Order, but I'm asking more in terms of gameplay.

    Does Fallen Order give you some freedom to use more weapons (or tools) and have some puzzle solving? I read some opinion of someone describing Fallen Order like something like "parkour" or Prince of Persia or Tomb Rider with a lot of platforming.

    I never played Fallen Order so I was concerned if it's too scripted and linear with little freedom, even the freedom to make a mistake and fuck up.

    There's quite a lot of Tomb Raider in Fallen Order, that's true. Both puzzles and platforming. There is some Soulsborne influence too. And some of its own ideas. I suggest to anyone to try it. It's really a good game.

    And, if Survivor continues the legacy, it's also gonna be a very good game. I just hope there's more replayability. Fallen Order is ... woefully lacking in that respect.

    I have only finished Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy once, I enjoyed them, but I don't imagine replaying them again.

    I should replay those. But really. We don't get the likes of Kyle Katarn anymore.

    We don't get the Expanded Universe anymore, you are right, in a way that is a reason to replay the games. But I personally prefer the books of Timothy Zahn (who is the only Expanded Universe author that I know) and I plan to read the books from other EU authors in the future. When I was around 13 or so and was at my peak of my Star Wars nerdgasm, I found the books being sold someplace so I bought the first 3 of them - the Thrawn Trilogy and read them and at the time I did not know any better and they really clicked with me, they felt like the natural progression of the story after episode 6 and it was many years later that I found out this was called the Expanded Universe and was not officially canonical, but in my mind it is always the canon. After what Disney did to Star Wars, I cannot bring myself to accept that POS trash as the canon story, it's an insult.

    Reading through all of this just makes me so happy that EA have lost their exclusive Star Wars license!



    I'm a big fan of Star Wars, but I've been boycotting EA since 2013. With the exclusive license, this means a decade of no new Star Wars games for me! It has sucked!

    Now, finally, this year, we're gonna start getting new Star Wars games from much, much better developers! We might finally start seeing some new styles of gameplay with real depth!



    Top of my list is the Star Wars game being developed by Massive Entertainment (same people as The Division). Whilst I didn't enjoy the looter-focus in TD, I cannot deny the quality of the gameplay and the world-building, so I'm really excited to see what they can do with the Star Wars IP.

    You don't know what's worse. When they defile and molest the IP(most IPs nowadays) or when they execute it on the spot(Warhammer Fantasy :( ). Businesses nowadays are quite crazy.

    The first game was great.  The character and story seem like a no-brainer to make into a show (or include in an existing show) if I were Disney, specifically if this title is even more popular than the first.

    Looking forward to this one.
