[Acquiescence]

I typically don't get excited for Star Wars games, but I'll make an exception for an Uncharted-style game with Amy at the helm. That could be something very special indeed. Just pleeeeease for the love of all that is holy, don't make it open-world.

 

[daveo42]

Edit: Amy's great, but using the "Uncharted" distinction with a Star Wars game doesn't really excite me. A Star Wars action adventure game would be great, it's the Uncharted bit that rubs me the wrong way. That shouldn't be the selling point and I love me some Uncharted.

 

[Stone Ocean]

1313 do iiiiiiiiit

 

[randomlee26]

Nolan North sure has been dropping big stuff today, huh!

Sounds good to me. Looking forward to a single-player Star Wars game.

 

[dancrane212]

I would love this but...

since reboot is mentioned I hope its a new Dark Forces with Kyle Katarn being re-canonized.

That would be amazing.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Just pleeeeease for the love of all that is holy, don't make it open-world.

+1

 

[Recidivus Crimen]

Wouldn't mind if it was a game based on Han Solo, Boba Fett or something entirely different. Uncharted and Star Wars are two of my favourite franchises. Adding the fact that Amy is involved and you've definitely got my interest. Can't wait for more news

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Nolan North as Han Solo? Yes please.

 

[SargerusBR]

I would love this but...

Yes, yes i like this, make him canon.

 

[Megatron]

Funny, I would be more interested in this than Battlefront. But thats just me.

For sure. Im still skeptical about battlefront.

 

[Oersted]

Still amazed that pulp lives on in mainstream-movies and videogames, 100 years later.

 

[AstroNut325]

Good... I love Uncharted style games. More please.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Not sure if I want.

Uncharted is good enough, with a SW games I want to kick ass with a lightsaber and a proper combat system. Focus on melee combat, please. Don't focus on the third person shooter part.

 

[Htown]

Does not compute.

I wouldn't read into the wording that closely.

Hey

Maybe she's doing a new Shadows of the Empire

 

[todahawk]

Does not compute.

Yeah, that wording threw me. Rebooting a classic series (Dark Forces!?) or building a new franchise.

 

[TheChundertaker]

If this is a Boba game like some are saying that would be the sickest. I like the idea of Han Solo but it seems weird to have anyone but Harrison Ford be him. Maybe they bring back a re-imagined Kyle Katarn. I suppose there are several places you could take this.

 

[The Lamp]

Why? The original Star Wars trilogy is nothing but corny dialogue, male/female flirting, action scenes and shooting. Basically Uncharted.

Han Solo post Return of the Jedi or Kyle Katarn... Fett is lame.

 

[Alo0oy]

How many do we have? Just Uncharted and Tomb Raider really. And this game won't be out for another 2 years or more.

I wouldn't put TR in the same category, TR is closer to Gears than UC in terms of gunplay & encounter design.

 

[NyMartin90]

give me this with Boba Fett instead of Jango

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Yeah that doesn't sound like a good thing to me.

 

[daveo42]

Uncharted in Space doesn't feel right to me. A mesh of both should sound like a resounding win, but when I put them together it just doesn't work for me. Besides, her work should be able to stand on its own regarless of what she had worked on in the past. Uncharted is a fantastic franchise, but this Star Wars game should stand on its own merits.

You know what, I'll just blame Nolan North for my feelings on this one.

Spoiler

I still love you Nolan

 

[JP]

As much as I absolutely love the Uncharted games, the last thing I want to be thinking when plating another game is that it really reminds me of playing Uncharted.

 

[dancmc]

I just want a great Star Wars action game....if it "borrows" from Uncharted; then so be it.....I like those games....I like Star Wars...hope they go together....Uncharted type set pieces with Star Wars props!! Could be really cool

 

[jaundicejuice]

Please. please, please be a new Dark Forces game.

 

[Seanspeed]

Really don't want a bunch of 'cinematic' 3rd person shooters that are far more concerned with extremely polished presentation over fun and interesting gameplay.

I consider this bad news as of now.

 

[Sulik2]

At least killing endless waves of Stormtroopers will make more contextual sense then it did in Uncharted.

 

[ViciousDS]

Does not compute.

1313 BREH!

 

[Fleshfeast]

Dead Space Wars

It'll be great! Like Dead Space, but with no dismemberment. And none of the interesting tool-weapons. And without the cool suit. And without the horror vibe. And the wide array of enemy size/shapes with differing attacks will be replaced by humanoid aliens with blasters.

I'm gonna go cry in the corner.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So developers best know for third person shooters hires director best known for third person shooters and they're developing a third person shooter?

well shit, that seems like the unlikeliest of scenarios.

Personally, I look forward to shooting a Rancor's arms off

 

[Trickster]

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Uncharted style games do nothing for me, I honestly get more enjoyment from those kinds of games by just watching the cutscenes on youtube and getting to skip the parts of the game where I'd have to play it

 

[gabbo]

Yes, yes i like this, make him canon.

He could pop up as a fellow low life smuggler/scruffy nerf herder if it's a Solo game and branch off later. That is, if it's not more him outright (Hope!)

 

[BluenoseGames]

So when are they going to announce this baby? Gamescom w/ Holiday 2016 Release or is this way to early

 

[Joco]

Damn it, I was hoping those rumours of an open world Star Wars game where you play as a bounty hunter were true. Not that I don't enjoy Uncharted's style but I much rather have open world over linear corridor travelling gameplay.

 

[Ricky_R]

Color me excited.

The first Star Wars movie was just a one big swashbuckling movie, with a charming rogue, a damsel in distress who doesn't shed a tear that her home and only family she really knew were has just blown up in front of her then also get "tortured" by a probe but shows no signs of distress or pain when resuced and the naive hero. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[komplanen]

I'm really glad we're getting a ton of Star Wars games and movies in the next several years. One sub-franchise being Uncharted-like sounds amazing.

 

[Bloodrage]

Could be good, I guess. Visceral has their moments. Big mistake making comparisons to Uncharted though, because now people will have insanely high expectations about it, and expect it to be as good, which probably won't happen.

Anyway, the more 3rd person games, the better.

 

[Persona7]

I am not a huge Star Wars fan but I am interested in this.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah, it'll be Han Solo doing Drake things.

Harrison Ford > Nathan Drake > Harrison Ford.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Sure, but, the title isn't Nolan North: Amy Hennig/Visceral's Star Wars game is "in the style of Legacy of Kain"

It should be

 

[jesu]

They should go for Indiana Jones in space.

 

[Daingurse]

1313 lives again.

 

[GreyOcelot]

i think people are jumping the gun in assuming this statement has anything to do with gameplay.

 

[Majanew]

You've got my attention.

 

[InsaneTiger]

1313 lives again.

No way, that's dead.

 

[Arion]

Han Solo and Chewy's adventures before the events of the movies would be really awesome.

 

[Kinyou]

I hope it will look as impressive as 1313 did.

Fun is the first thing I think about when playing Uncharted, what are you talking about?

 

[Alo0oy]

Did you ever play Uncharted? Because I can't think of a single level in the series that had a "corridor" design (maybe in UC1).
