What Might Jedi: Fallen Order Feature In Terms Of Gameplay And Setting?

During their EA Play 2018 showcase, Respawn announced that they have a new Star Wars game in development. In a new Opinion Piece, Skewed and Reviewed look at what type of gameplay it may offer and other aspects about the just announced game.

I did not watch the EA thing. But knowing the past history of star wars games.....i dont have high hopes. SURE DO WISH that 1313 was not canceled thou, that looked AWESOME!

Garethvk2572d ago

That it did. I remember being at E3 and a couple weeks prior I was invited to see it. I was thrilled as I am a big Star Wars fans and being able to see it early was huge. They were not on the main floor but in meeting rooms down one of the halls and when we got in they seated us on a row of benches. The room darkened and we saw the sides of the room were done up like windows on a ship and the front was a video screen and control panel. While the game demo played, it looked as if we were going down to level 1313 in the room and was an awesome effect. I loved the idea of an M rated Star Wars game and the fact that it looked like a Mass Effect style gameplay system had me really thinking of the great opportunity this could have been.

EA is self destructing at a record pace. Pretty bad when your most anticipated title is one that was mentioned and not shown.

Garethvk2572d ago

They need to do well with this. How many times did the rep for EA Star Wars Battlefront 2 apologize and admit they made mistakes today? They also have the added pressure if reports are to be believed that Disney is not happy with the fallout over the game and have considered taking the license away from them As such: you know the pressure is on to deliver. I would say ok you have until November or December 2019, make sure you do it right. There will be no other Star Wars games until then as EA Star Wars Battlefront 2 will keep updating content, there are no movies until then, so do it right.

morganfell2572d ago

Quite true. They can ill afford another issue. Especially with Star Wars. Disney is watching their franchise disintegrate. Solo dropped to 28 million in its second weekend at the box office. I do not expect this weekend to be any better. And of course there is the disaster of the puke fest that was the last film as well.

Warning. NSFW: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The question, what is the role of Disney in approving the material in the game? Of course they have to approve the story line so they can have control over the canon (ha ha ha) but I am referring to tone. I think the people at Respawn are relatively talented individuals, but if persons that think like Kathleen Kennedy have the ability to exert influence over the tone of the game then disaster awaits.

Garethvk2572d ago

There are also rumors that Kennedy will be leaving as head of Lucasfilm soon as well. New blood, new ideas.

morganfell2572d ago (Edited 2572d ago )

As long at they cancel the plans for the Ryan Johnson new trilogy as well. I do not want them to make a mess of the rumored Obi-Wan film the way they have everything else. Even the internet was screaming over the casting of Solo as fans overwhelmingly selected Anthony Ingruber for the role and of course this was ignored. The point of where the Solo casting should have landed is driven home in the movie Age of Adaline where Ingruber plays the young version of Harrison Ford's character.

Ingruber as Han Solo: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

In Age of Adaline as the young version of Ford's character: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I really want to see him play Indiana Jones, basically filling out the pieces done by River Phoenix in The Last Crusade. Let Ford tell it in a flashback the way he did in The Young Indy Chronicles: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

BTW, he is a heck of a mimic: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

lootcratefest and mt-parade. what else can you expect if you take your fanglasses down for a moment

Garethvk2572d ago

It will be interesting. Word was they canned the Visceral game as it did not have much of an online option for them to crate up. During the showcase today Anthem and other no sports games made a show of no crates and play to win options. Now talk is cheap and we know that can be added in later, but it will be very interesting. I do not see any way this does not have it. Even if it is cosmetic stuff like weapons, transportation, and costumes.

Antifan2572d ago

No Gameplay, not even a teaser. Just being talked about. And it's suppose to release next year? Not a good sign at all.

Garethvk2572d ago

I think If we get to PAX West, Paris Games Week, or Tokyo Game Show and nada, be concerned. They likely will reveal next year, probably around Star Wars Celebration then go big at E3.

Darth Vader's Scariest Depiction Is in a Video Game

There have been plenty of depictions of Darth Vader in various media forms, but his appearance in Jedi: Fallen Order is by far the most fearsome.

Sciurus_vulgaris830d ago

I strongly disagree. Vader was more intimidating in Rogue One and the Obi-Wan series.

mkis007830d ago

I know what your saying but fallen order was scarier for me. Dont know shy.

myfathersbastard829d ago (Edited 829d ago )

Yeah his rogue one scene and his first encounter with Obi Wan in Obi Wan were pure monster movie type stuff.
Although he had the same vibes in Fallen Order.
Really this just shows how much good Vader we’ve gotten in recent years. That’s how Vader works best imo. As an unstoppable nightmare.

Best Star Wars game, in my opinion.

PrimeVinister1651d ago

I would agree. There have been some amazing games (but mostly terrible) but JFO beats all.

And I respect how good the first Battlefront for GC was. This isn't a recency bias.

ChristianReggieWait1651d ago

OG Battlefront was amazing, and quite easy to run on PC when it released if i remember correctly!

ChristianReggieWait1651d ago

Yep. Honourary mentioned goes to Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy though ♥️

SegaGamer1651d ago

Those two are still my favourite Star Wars games.

CorndogBurglar1651d ago

TIE Fighter is by far the best Star Wars game ever made.

glennhkboy1650d ago

I must say The Knight of the Old Republic is the BEST SW game ever!!!! TIE Fighter is the 2nd best. :)

Rocketisleague1651d ago (Edited 1651d ago )

8 out of 10 for me. Great game. The games it took mechanics from did them better, sekiro did the combat better and other cinematic games handled that aspect better. Story was pretty great too.

Looking forward to the next respawn star wars game

One.of.my fav devs atm. With Titanfall, apex legends and star wars. Such a random genre to pick after working in mainly shooters and a great attempt, they have the experience for the nalext game now

Rocketisleague1651d ago (Edited 1651d ago )

To me this is clear cut, kotor is the best star wars game, they was bioware in their prime, one if the best rpgs ever msde abf the best star wars story out if movies/series/games

Characters. Hk47 anyone?

Ratchet751650d ago

You clearly haven't played knights of the old republic.

brando0081650d ago

Exactly what I was thinking lol. JFO is a fantastic game, but it's still not on KOTOR's level imo

Notellin1650d ago

I'm still going with Knights of the Old Republic. Jedi Knight 2, Pandemic's Battlefront 2 (the irony), and Jedi Fallen Order are all good enough I can't decide a runner up.

darthv721651d ago

Force Unleashed used to be my top but now this has taken that place. Such a good game / story.

ChristianReggieWait1651d ago

It's a culmination of Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy/Force Unleashed for me. It really Is a cracker!

ChristianReggieWait1651d ago

It's an absolute belter, but it's no longer considered canon. It's a tragedy but it looks like the upcoming High Republic push is going to address Revan etc

CorndogBurglar1651d ago

I don't know how. The High Republic era is long after the Old Republic era. I realize KOTOR is no longer canon, but shoving Revan into High Republic seems stupid, if thats true.

Bladesfist1651d ago

It's still my favourite game of all time

lex-10201650d ago

I agree Kotor is the best, but Fallen Order might have been the most important. It's officially Cannon and its success was hopefully a massive signal to EA that a high quality Single Play game without MicroTransactions still sells, and sells well.

SamPao1651d ago

Personally, I have great memories of of jedy academy, jedi outcast, kotor and The Force Unleashed.

Aaaand Bounty Hunter :)

ChristianReggieWait1651d ago

Same here, well bar Bounty Hunter. But in terms of canon content and overall experience, Fallen Order is up there ♥️

So....twice the mediocrity for your money.

Smitty20201826d ago

I really enjoyed Jedi fallen order, more like this plz and don’t fak it up.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1826d ago

Just give me KOTOR remake or remaster and we good EA.

CrimsonWing691826d ago

Why do I have a baaaaad feeling about this?

Godmars2901826d ago

No, its "I have a bad feeling about this..."

CrimsonWing691826d ago

Yeesss Tropic Thunder, I’m so glad you referenced it!

jjb19811826d ago

Only because the House of Mouse will whoop dat ass if they don't.

Godmars2901826d ago

Unless EA can make them as much as a movie, unless they mess up again on a scale of Battle Front 2 again, the House of Mouse could care less.

That's where their scale is.
