So what are you expecting from EA's star Wars games.

So EA has had Star Wars for a year Noe and we should start seeing more concrete info around the time of the VGAs. We know there are at least three cannon projects on the horizon.

Star Wars Battlefront from DICE skated for mate next year, as well as a new project from Bioware, and something from the new Visercal team led by Amy Henning.

Do what are your hopes. I'll be interested to see how dice handles the campagin mode of battlefield. Will they take a far more narrative take that the past battlefield games have adopted being very story heavy, or be a best of different battles in the Star wars universe.

 

DLC out the butt and mandatory origin.

 

With it being EA I'm incredibly cautious right now. I do hope they make a good battlefront game and that open world star wars game sounds promising, also it sound like DICE wants to make a good battlefront game. Then again, if EA is going to do what they have been lately, bad launches and tons of DLC's, then I remain cautious.

 

It will be mindless guff designed to have widespread sales and be forgotten. Like other COD/Battlefield style shooters and not like CS, Payday 2 or Insurgency. Sadly.

 

I know, that's what I'm afraid of.

 

Well knowing EA, they'll find a way to screw it up

 

I am expecting to never see an updated XWing/TIE Fighter.

 

EA cannot be trusted to deliver quality games. The only good reason to remain hopefull is BioWare, a division of EA. BioWare should make the new SW games without interference from EA executives. Mass Effect 2 & 3 would have been even better if BioWare were allowed more creative freedom.

 

When was EA not consider one the worst game publishers? I do know there was a time when they were on top but they have really crashed down lately. I sure hope they somehow make a good star wars game but its not looking good.

 

The era of good SW games is over.

 

EA's first Star Wars release is here people!

Spoiler

Implying it wasn't already long dead.

 

Why am i not surprised.

 

how this thread portrays EA

 

I think that's a pretty accurate video.

 

Honestly im looking forward to it. EA may be evil but they have great devs under their belt.

 

They aren't unlike Disney - They own various other companies that can make good stuff even if they themselves aren't as consistent anymore with their own projects.

You just have to trust EA to let them get on with it as Disney does with the likes of Pixar & Marvel

 

I'm expecting they make a Rebels game and a Battlefront III game that won't be called Battlefront III.

 

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of DLC. Darth Vader's Helmet? 4.99. X-Wing Starfighter Shortcut? 19.99. Weapon Skin packs with one out of the four skins in the pack being what you want? 9.99.

Let's not forget the pre-order bonus of a extra exclusive pistol that is exactly the same as the regular blaster pistol.

 

Yearly updates, minimal improvements.

 

The main issue I have with EA has to do with some of their business policies, so I"m not too worried on the creative part of it, especially since probably only a small amount of the games will be developed in-house.

I think DICE is going to do a great Battlefront. I know they get a lot of complaints now because of the Battlefield 4 launch (I started playing BF4 in Spring of 2014, and I never had any problems with it, but I know TONS of people did). But each update works better and better, and I think they won't make the same mistake again. At least I hope.

I imagine we'll see a lot of shooters and 3rd-person, Jedi Knight/Force Unleashed style games (hopefully closer to Jedi Knight). Only genre of Star Wars game I'm worried about will be the flight action game. Rogue Squadron and Starfighter were my first Star Wars games, and because of them I love flight games to this day. Maybe if Star Citizen or any of the other ones making a comeback get super popular, they'll bring it back.

I honestly don't see how Origin is any worse than Steam, to be honest. Maybe it's just because I get super annoyed at them both, but Origin doesn't do anything more annoying than steam in my experience. Too bad EA won't release it on GOG.

 

If past game series EA has taken are of any indicator, one can expect an influx of dlc content, minimal attention to detail, dumbing down of plots and making everything child friendly, crude humor, out-of-date graphics from the get go, etc.
