A/V Respawn’s Mandalorian game

So this is coming from a pretty reliable leaker and IGN has backed it up so I think it’s time for a thread. Respawn’s first person Star Wars game is apparently based on the Mandalorians.

I hope this is a spiritual successor to Bounty Hunter game play wise. I want to be able to scan through various thugs and find which ones have a bounty on them

 

When a leaker yesterday said that respond was working on a game people I’ve been waiting a long time for I totally thought they were gonna make a republic commando sequel lol

 

Hell, tie it into Republic Commando and Bounty Hunter and The Mandalorian. There are ways.

Chances are, it's going to come out around the same time as the Mando movie. So in about two years, give or take.

 

Either way respond has a proven track record so I am excited

 

I am definitely interested as well. A Mando focused, single-player fps game sounds different enough from any recent star wars game to feel like a fresh experience.

 

Well @Sinrebirth's gonna flip...

 

Predictive text really has it in for you tonight JKF.

 

Nah just text to speech not understanding what the hell I am saying.

most of the time it’s me but like10% of the time it’s speech to text.

what can I say sometimes I am to lazy to type

 

I can't help but wonder how the game will handle Beskar and its laser proofness? It would be a bit two easy if you could only be damaged by getting hit in certain small areas, but do you think they will have some explanation - like the player being like first episode Din where they don't have a full set - or if it will just be ignored for gameplay sake like how many lightsabers to the chest a person can take and keep fighting.

Or maybe they will establish that these are cartoon show Mandos whose armor is much less effective.

 

Besker effectiveness will be linked to the difficulty settings.

 

You know what would be fun if they call it Beskar alloy and then go from there for different difficulty settings. Similar to how they call the difficulty settings in the Jedi games. Padawan, Knight, Mast Grand Master.

 

As long as it's not as difficult as Bounty Hunter could get at times.

 

If the notion that jetpacks will be a big part of gameplay comes true, I’ll be enjoying the heck out of this game

 

I mean jet packs are about as important to Mandalorians as their weapons

 

They fly now?

 

They fly now!

 

Indeed. Just look at Jango with a jetpack vs Obi-Wan, and Jango with a broken jetpack against Mace Windu later.

 

What’s the over under on Boba appearing in this game? I would say pretty high all things considered

 

Well its canned

I wonder if Inside gaming reported on it and IGN backed it up as a last ditch effort to save the game

 

I hate EA so much. They signed for exclusive rights to Star Wars games for I can't remember how long, then gave us so few games.

 

Cancelled 3 games I think total.
Also I assume cause this was canned the respawn strategy game was also probably canned

 

Blargghhhh.....

Man, I don't even know how many star wars game ideas I have be excited about have been shunted aside with the excuse that "people only want jedi!" Makes one want to join the Sith. (Admittedly this time just sounds like an excuse for corporate downsizing and other life ruining shenanigans, but still...)

At least Outlaws is probably too close to release to be canceled, but I bet the strategy game is going to be canceled as well.

Oh well, such is life I suppose.
