Sounds interesting, but I'm so skeptical that I doubt it could even be as good as uc3

 

[Metalmarc]

1313

Is the only way they could reboot a new star wars franchise

Now with a new name

Maybe

 

[Phamit]

I guess "style of Uncharted" just means Third person shooter, which isn't surprising since it's a game from Amy Henning and Visceral

 

[Pooya]

Jedi Knight could work I guess, if it's a reboot of old series, it's probably that. I'd guess they want something that is more inline with new movies and those games already took place after the original trilogy, I don't expect a Kyle Katarn character though.

I wouldn't expect 1313 but it will probably play like that anyway.

 

[Majanew]

I hope it will look as impressive as 1313 did.

Possible. With the new features in Frostbite 3 and being current gen only, it should be a looker.

 

[cartographer]

It's The Force Unleashed reboot you were all hoping would happen.

 

[weevles]

Is he referring to rebooting a new SW video game franchise or from the movies?

It could be Old Republic or Phantom Menace or anything really...

 

[Comfort Jones]

Please don't be super generic with crap like regen health, please for the love of God. So much room to try stuff in TPS games and yet they always ruin it.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Possible. With the new features in Frostbite 3 and being current gen only, it should be a looker.

To be honest, I think Battlefront 3 looks better than 1313. Noticibly better.

 

[i-Lo]

Why is there such a reluctance to do another SW RPG? Are they expecting ME filling the sci-fi RPG hole alone?

 

[Nirolak]

BioWare doesn't have enough staff to handle one and they're not going to dump their fully owned franchises that are already successful.

If i remember correctly, EA announced back then whey got that SW deal, that BioWare is working on a StarWars game too.

 

[Nirolak]

If i remember correctly, EA announced back then whey got that SW deal, that BioWare is working on a StarWars game too.

Correct, but it was for continued development of SWTOR.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

I hope not. I loved Uncharted 2 but the whole set piece after set piece is kind of boring to me now. I'll buy it regardless because Star Wars but as long as it's good, I'll be happy.

 

[Cheat Code]

STAR WARS 1314

 

[cartographer]

If i remember correctly, EA announced back then whey got that SW deal, that BioWare is working on a StarWars game too.

As far as I know this was misinterpreted and it was just BW-Austin continuing to work on SWTOR.

Why is there such a reluctance to do another SW RPG? Are they expecting ME filling the sci-fi RPG hole alone?

I'm sure there will be one eventually, but they probably wouldn't let anybody but BW do it and BioWare proper had (and still has) their hands full with other projects.

 

[RedAssedApe]

so they scrapped another game to make a similar game. sounds like what happened with uncharted 4 hah

 

[QueenOfThorns]

Are any of these new Star Wars games light saber focused? All I keep seeing is guns which seems boring to me. It being like Uncharted makes me think it's going to be another shooter.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

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

There's an old movie trilogy called Indiana Jones that could be described exactly that way.

 

[Protomanx13]

Depends how much control she has over her work/single player experience. If it is a game that primary focus on multiplayer, don't expect a good single player or even if the story is good, the gameplay would be... meh

 

[Valnen]

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

Sounds ridiculously awesome.

 

[Kinyou]

Possible. With the new features in Frostbite 3 and being current gen only, it should be a looker.

Oh true forgot that it's also an EA game. Frostbite seems to go well with star wars and considering that they likely aim for 30 fps it should even be a step above battlefront

 

[Santar]

Interest gone.
I was holding out hope it wouldn't be one of those super scripted epic badass moments at every turn games you mostly just watch, but alas.

 

[Bracewell]

If Amy Hennig can bring to this brand new/rebooted Star Wars franchise what she brought to Uncharted, I'd be ecstatic.

The Uncharted games are Indiana Jones adventures in everything but name (and time period), so I have faith.

 

[CHC]

Do we really need another one?

Uh a good Star Wars game? Fuck yes we do. The Old Republic was terrible and everything else decent is nearly 10+ years old at this post.

I'm very excited for whatever this project is, personally.

 

[KKRT00]

Are any of these new Star Wars games light saber focused? All I keep seeing is guns which seems boring to me. It being like Uncharted makes me think it's going to be another shooter.

Better be. Lightsabers should only be used in games where they respect its 'physics'. Multiple hits from lightsabers should not be survivable, it should be one hit, one enemy part cut.
You go Jedi Knight route or You leave lightsabers alone, thats my opinion, with exception to RPG games of course.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

So IF they make it then Nolan = Han, right?

 

[brandonh83]

I can't wait. Honestly not interested in Han though, at least not for this. Just seems too obvious or something.

 

[Sal Ami]

They arent, but if they do ever make one we will never get a game as well designed as Jedi Academy. It will be heavily watered down.

 

[CHC]

I doubt it will be Han. The main characters of the series seem to be off limits as game protagonists so far. I'm sure they'd just do a different smuggler who is simar to Han.

 

[Boogdud]

Here here! Lightsabers everywhere in these games (and movies) completely ruins the weight of the lightsaber. They're never done 'correctly' and animations look terrible with everyone running around nerf batting each other. Give me blasters, any day.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Rise 1313

First thing that came to my mind! The 1313 video from all those E3s ago still looks awesome today, so hopefully they use that tech.

 

[MetalGearZed]

1313 Please god.

Spoiler

I know its not going to happen

Don't worry. I feel like this game is the essence of what 1313 would have been. Hard to believe they be making an "Uncharted style Star Wars game" when 1313 seemed to had fit that bill.

 

[Philippo]

 

[nampad]

This is what I expected and hoped for. Hope Hennig can show her skills once again after she had to leave ND in such a bad way.
Her experience should make sure the Star Wars game isn't looking amateurish like all the other cinematic game clones.

 

[robotrock]

Expected. I'm super excited for this.

 

[Type_Raver]

So I thought this deserved its own thread rather than being interleaved with Uncharted 4 discussion.

This probably isn't very shocking given the Creative Director and how Dead Space 2 and 3 played.

Bring back Starwars 1313, it was this already!!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This. What are you saying.

New Star Wars. 1313 was new franchise and got nuked when the whole buyout happened.

Reboot. EA got rights to all Star Wars games. EA hired Amy, director of 3 Uncharted games. She is rebooting the new franchise that died.

An Uncharted Star Wars.

 

[Joco]

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).

Perhaps corridor isn't the right word. But it certainly was a mostly linear experience.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Wait what, a solo Star Wars game ala Uncharted where I don't have Jedi powers? What would be the point.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Perhaps corridor isn't the right word. But it certainly was a mostly linear experience.

There's nothing wrong with linear games. Personally I can't stand like 90% of "open-world" games. Arcade-like action or action/adventure games need to make a triumphant return, really.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Where's the Dolan "everything was Uncharted" pic?

 

[sjay1994]

Are any of these new Star Wars games light saber focused? All I keep seeing is guns which seems boring to me. It being like Uncharted makes me think it's going to be another shooter.

Well it is possible. Visceral did make Dante's inferno.

 

[DangerMouse]

Yes.

More third person games always. Feed me the third person games.

Yup, looking forward to seeing it.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

The biggest thing to come out of that video is the fact they're making The Last Of Us 2.

 

[BY2K]

1313, rise from your grave!

 

[sjay1994]

The biggest thing to come out of that video is the fact they're making The Last Of Us 2.

Is it?

It was pretty obvious that there was going to be another one. The only question is if its going to star Joel and Ellie, which I hope it doesn't.

 

[codecow]

I'm currently working on this one

 

[demosthenes]

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

As would I.

 

[jett]

High chance this is the best SW game in a long-ass time.

I'm currently working on this one

I hope you enjoy the inevitable comparison wars that will arise.
