I hate how these games are too afraid to play with anything cannon.
It’s always “Yet another faction” or some enemy you’ve never heard of before. Yeah, they talk about the Hutts and Crimson Dawn, but that’s all you’ll see of them, those 2 cutscenes.
I guess what I’m saying is I would love a game where you fight crimson dawn, or with the hutts, or you join up with them, or something. I don’t like how every game franchise has a new faction/enemy that conveniently you’ve never heard of before and will never care about again after this. Yes, it can be fun, but it makes it feel extremely disconnected from the rest of the universe.
Edit: I learned from another thread that the Hutts aren’t even going to be a part of the base game, that’s a Season Pass/DLC item! So the base game will be even less connected with the star wars universe!
This is why Star Wars Force Unleashed will always be one of my favourite Star Wars works ever. They went absolutely nuts with it and said fuck the lore. Brilliant game.
There’s a whole fucking galaxy in Star Wars and you want to see the same things you’ve already seen before? Hell no, show me new people and places and characters! Why does the fate of the entire galaxy hinge on like 20 people in two or three families? Surely there are other, equally important people who exist in the galaxy far, far away?
I guess a balance is needed. I agree, and maybe I just sound like a whiny gamer, but I hate it being completely disconnected, but I agree everything right now is set in between episodes 3 and 4, and there’s so much more.
Lol I didn’t think you sounded whiny, but I did think it would be funny to counter your opinion of “Star Wars should never change!” with “Star Wars should be something different!” so we encompass the spectrum of complaining Star Wars fans. :D
The entire galaxy hinges on them because its a space fantasy with superheros and supervillains… If just anyone could change the fate of the galaxy then it wouldnt be the same star wars. Its fun to be involved in those main events, even by proxy. Just existing in the universe can be fun too, i admit, but its a different fun.
I think it’s a breath of fresh air to get something new from Star Wars after so long. I’m sick of seeing the same 3 planets and 10 characters over and over again.
I feel like I’m the only one even remotely interested in this game. Does it look like watch dogs in space? Yes, but I for one enjoyed watch dogs for what it brought to the table. I’ve been dying to play a star wars game that doesn’t involve a Jedi as the main character, so this game is right up my alley. It’s Ubisoft so I’m very skeptical though and cautiously optimistic.
The scout’s voice actor (Nathan Vetterlein) used to be super active, but a few years ago he said he’d be going on an “indefinite break” while he focused on other goals he had in life (presumably to do more than just be the “TF2 scout guy”).
His linked in currently says he’s working as a principle game designer at Wizards of the Coast
I’m not sure about anyone else, but I found there to be a lot of homogeneity here. The games that were the most up my alley were the ones I’d already heard of, but there were a lot of Vampire Survivors-inspired games and city builders.
This idea of triple I is going to be corrupted and backfire if it becomes organized. What I mean is that instead of great games like Stardew or Terraria (just to name 2 as examples) being labeled as triple I, we will instead get Ubisoft marketing their next open world as triple I only because it is based on a “new” IP. That new IP will likely be a warrior type character fighting for justice while assembling a crew of interesting characters to help them in their mission in a never before seen world filled with friends and foes alike… Blah blah blah.
Triple I will soon mean triple A, but for new IP. Triple I should be a designation bestowed by the community on outstanding indie games. It should be subjective and unregulated, otherwise it will lose its meaning and that’s exactly what large studio’s want.
Goddamn. I was not expecting this. Hard to imagine how they could improve on the original in ways that feel like they warrant a whole new game rather than just a content update for the original. That being said, I’m excited to see what they come up with.
