A/V Star Wars: Uprising - New Mobile RPG post RotJ

Maybe, like with TIE Defenders and the like - Zann Consortium's high-profile enough for LFL to see as "one of the first things to bring over in tie-ins".

 

Almost everything imaginable regarding the Anoat sector has been re-canonized in this game. I'm not surprised since the official site for the game has a big ol' link to Wookieepedia.

 

I see a lot of lore from the old Greater Javin gazetteer. Good, goooooood.

 

Quin? Is that you?

 

I'm not sure what to think about this game, on one hand it's pretty good. But it also has what might just be the most broken boss fight in my gaming history. I have counted to attempting this boss fight up to 37 times (The fight against Bohento Splinth on Hoth), you see unless all the bombs go off before his death, you can't finish the mission and the mission is so bugged that it's 95% likely that 1 or 2 bombs won't go off AT ALL.

 

I have some general questions about this game. Is this game free, for a price, or freemium? Also will I need wifi or 3G like Commander or is it similar to KOTOR in that I'm alone among the computer ? Thanks a bunch!

 

The game itself is free to play and has some paid content.

You can buy extra "credits" to redeem for boxes of new loot (you can also get this currency by doing missions and sending your crew on crew runs) and, from time to time, there's a new promotion were you can buy a special weapon ou armor and some rare crafting supplies for real money.

You need to be online at all times to play. I haven't tried playing with 3G for more than a few minutes, but from what i've seen there isn't a great deal of data consumed by the game.

 

Yes it's free, the game breaking bugs and glitches are also free of charge and works on 3G

 

What did you expect from a game that's in an open beta? In case you didn't notice the game's version is 0.2. The full release of the game is sometime next month (i think we can expect news on that front this weekend at PAX Prime).

 

It irks me that the Zann Consortium is referenced and yet they've missed the obvious one. Why don't they have Talon Karrde and crew smuggling weapons and supplies... Supplying the uprising would be right up his alley, especially considering the markup from running the Blockade.

Maybe they're saving him for the Varonat system or something, to give a nod to the old EU.

 

You're legitimately asking why they don't use every SW character reference in the same location at the same time? I thought we wanted to avoid this in the new canon.

 

Does anyone have any idea when this is coming out. You'd think it would be around the same time as the rest of the JtTFA material.

 

From starwars7news.com interview with Daniel Erickson, Senior Director Game Design at Kabam!

I was wondering about the Cloud City celebrations if the sector was going to be locked down. Sounds a bit like the response to the celebration on Coruscant depicted in Aftermath.

 

Members from the Uprising development team did an interview with IGN at PAX 2015. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08...ising-is-a-never-ending-force-awakens-prequel

I've been playing the game and I'm not sure which planet that could be.

 

Assuming you're not kidding, I'm sure that's not how they mean the word "world," in this instance.

 

figurative - departing from a literal use of words; metaphorical. "a figurative expression"

 

"I've been a fool" - Luminara Unduli

 

Hmm, that does seem to support the theory that the Resistance is a "rebel" group opposing the First Order in a region of space controlled by them. How that ties to any other Imperial remnants or whatever government the Rebel Alliance sets up post-Endor is still anyone's guess, but I do love the speculation!

Even though they spend half the interview just talking about that situation and about taking things from the spinoff films as well?

 

Jar Jar is Snoke confirmed.

 

I think Robot Chicken beat you to it.

 

I wish someone had videotaped Ahmed Best behind the scenes doing the VO for that one evil cackle moment. That would have been worth seeing.

 

So do we have a release date for this yet?
