    I’m looking forward to this game. I need something to do when I’m bored besides reading.

    If anyone is confused, Chris was lead writer on Kotor 2 also the creator of Darth Traya

    Moved posts to more appropriate thread

    Anyway, this is pretty exciting news. Avellone gives Fallen Order some sudden credibility.

    And Battlefront 2 had the Spec Ops: The Line writer.

    I may just be overly pessimistic since that whole fiasco and the ensuing chaos surrounding the artist formerly known as Ragtag, but I won't feel good about this until we're a week out post-release and I can see the positive reviews for myself. I refuse to get suckered into getting hyped for a new EA Star Wars game. Even one from a good studio like Respawn.

    Cheers @GrandAdmiralJello I didn’t release I’d posted in the wrong thread.

    Anyway I could be looking at this to deeply, but considering he’s saying there’s something big coming next month and he seems to have capitalise the E and A. part of me thinks he’ll announce another star wars game he’s working on at celebration. Dare I get my hopes up for a new kotOR?

    "Respawn Says EA "Had No Hand" In The Development Of Apex Legends"

    I doubt EA will be that lenient when it comes to the next Star Wars game.

    I honestly don't understand why EA still has the Star Wars license, given how uptight Disney seems to be about their brands in general. What on earth do they bring to the table that outweighs the toxicity at this point?

    Disney has a history of not understanding the video game market sadly....Hence why Disney interactive is gone....In short, I just don't think Disney cares enough about video games.

    I have hope even if Ea is hands on Respawn will make it alright. Avellone writing. The Villain being rumoured to be Bariss as the second sister . Her warped world view is just good enough for avellone to channel what made Kriea a good villain . The Game play and the MC have to be likeable / fun thou

    I'm not a fan of the theory of her being Second Sister (not just because I still hate the nonsensical idea of her going bad, but I feel if they're going to use her as a villain make her something that stands out more than Grand Inquisitor's #2 (not to mention the Inquisitors have now been done A LOT so she's one more in a line of the same thing)).

    But... when we finally get a non-Battlefront SW game, it will probably be big. So having her as a villain of something major like that would be neat, especially if we get some of the other bro and sis gang.

    My hope is they go out on a limb and do something completely wild. The best SW games were wild. KOTOR was a wild idea at heart. Dark Forces was pretty nutty, especially the second one. Republic Commando was all over the place. I like games when I have no clue what's going to happen next. And this goes for locations as well -- it's pretty awesome when a game makes up a new planet, because then you're in literally new territory.

    My fear is they're going to make something that resembles another Force Unleashed. I didn't hate TFU and they had their moments, but I always felt like it was limiting itself. I don't have super fond memories of those levels like I do for say, KOTOR or DF. It was a lot of running down halls without much else going on.

    I put money that this will be essentially Force Unleashed minus the unleashed

    That and a terrible understanding of the Video game industry on the whole which I just don't think Disney cares to get into that much...I mean how many Disney video games (Minus Kingdom Hearts) are actually famous....and not in a cult classic kinda way....Epic Mickey...maybe?

    There is a good chance of that. But I'm hoping for more of an Assassin's Creed style. I think with Avellone writing it, we have a chance for more RPG elements such as side quests and exploration. It won't be open world, and likely linear However, I hope each location has room to focus on things other than the main story. Maybe the Force Unleashed comparisons are more in regard to using a lightsaber and the force in an action game, rather than level structure.

    Well now this has me torn.

    On one hand, Chris Avellone wrote for two of my favorite games (KotOR II and Fallout: New Vegas). On the other hand... I don't exactly have a lot of faith or trust in EA with their fixation on microtransactions and "live services" at the expense of an engaging single-player story.

    At best, this is a "wait and see" type of game for me now.

    Well, I think we should all be cautious about assuming Avellone did all, or even the majority, of the writing/design. All we know is that he had some kind of involvement. Personally I feel like the fact this game has been in development for three years and only now did we learn Avellone was involved probably indicates his involvement was on the smaller scale. Though any Avellone involvement is of course better than none.

    I very mutch hyped for Fallen Order. It be fist real single player star wars game in a long time, and it be a canon story of a padawan surviving and hiding from vader and the empire. I bet we see a few cameo's from movies and TWC along with tie ins to the show mabye we see more of the criminal side of the galaxy. I hope we can get to design our very own lightsaber like you do in other games like GOW. It be like Unleashed minus the force powers in the game. This could be the comeback of the star wars games if it succeeds. I'm hyped for the stary and the characters.

    I'm very interested too, but more so from the story point of view. I haven't been around to play Star Wars games since Jedi Academy, so I'm surprised to see someone as universally respected/praised as Chris Avellone seems to be with the fanbase. I also don´t really know of EA problems (seems like everything was better with Lucasarts?) but I'm really hopeful for a great game. The very fact that it involves a Jedi during the dark times is enough to get me interested! as long as its not like TFU, anyway...

    I think that this game will be good, but the Debbie downing that its going to be another TFU video game, another this, another that. This game is going to be good and much more.
