Respawn Mandalorian Game Cancelled

That’s just because they’re switching to the sequel of the superior bounty hunter.

A fps is really not what I would imagine for a game based on The Mandalorian to be honest.
A Mandalorian game would be an awesome fit for a Mass Effect kind of game. One part action scenes, one part RPG, one part exploring the galaxy for bounties. If they want to add some MP modes thats fine. But that would be bonus modes.

Why would anyone want to make a FPS Boba Fett kind of game?

i really looking foward for Mandolorian game but to be honest first person shooter might not be a good fit IMO.

but just curious, it would mean the Mandolorian or just mandolorian setting?

They should have the Mandalorian hijack another game like what happened with that Bobba Fett show. Like you're playing the remastered Battlefronts and bam, suddenly you wipe Baby Yoda's ass.

Makes sense to lessen dependence on licensed IPs. EA just punted the biggest of them all with FIFA and sales seemed to be fine.

Disney announced a lot of doomed/nonexistent projects to appease investors, pretending to have potentially successful projects in the works.
It's the equivalent of jingling keys at their faces at this point...

I never thought I'll be so in favour of a hostile takeover.
For fuck's sake, I thought I was the only one here who saw that. They announce projects in bombastic celebrations/press events to make investors go 'ooh, nice!' only to 'quietly' cancel them later on.

Writes a lot, says very little
Good. Finish the Jedi trilogy first.

Agreed.

dotnotbot dotnotbot " cancel everything that sounds interesting/fresh" lol based on what?

We don't even know what this fucking shit actually is. Its even funnier, cause this crying is coming for folks who bash EA anyway, oh but wait...THE MOST FRESH thing on earth was suddenly suppose to come from them because the fan fiction game you never heard of, with zero information about, was suppose to be "fresh" based on.....what?

Sir, you want it cause its gone. You think its "fresh" cause its an unknown and you don't know what it actually is, lets stop this crap of pretending the cancelled thing was going to be the second coming, from a team not even know for doing that type of shit. I love the Jedi stuff they already did, but that shit was never going in my top GOTY type things upon release.

So its odd to cry about this and be upset that the team is going to make the um "same old shit" when that is the fucking team you are crying over unknown FPS over lol Give me a break man.

None of us know what that game is or how it was going to turn out. If it wasn't working out, I'm more ok with them moving on to something else.

Thinks Microaggressions are Real
They can’t support two GaaS games, and they’d be stupid to kill off Apex Legends
I can guarantee if Titanfall live service game brings in close to or as much as Apex does, EA will fund another team.

Just wanted to chime in and say that you guys are hilarious in thinking that EA is about to greenlight a new Titanfall game after they just cancelled a premiere Disney/SW project.
 
So they cancel a potential hit of a game and lay off more people?

How the fuck do they think they will make money??????
Fire staff working on a potential blockbuster, cancel said blockbuster for short term gains (less costs) while this could have been a moneymaker in the long run?

FUCK DEVS ARE STUPID.

It actually went the way of Prey 2. What is up with bounty hunter themed games that get canned?

I've been waiting years for a dedicated bounty hunter game where that is the core gameplay loop (instead of resorting to a side activity in most games)

It's never gonna happen, isn't it?

Over canceled Star Wars?

For someone like me who mostly enjoys Japanese games.....I'm eating good, almost too good in fact.

the massive lay offs, canceled projects and over all state of the industry right now. But was mostly in jest.

Most probably it was a game about bounty hunter similar to Boba Fett and the protagonist of the TV show who also happens to be a Mandalorian, but is a separate character. Like how Cal Kestis was yet another survivor of Order 66 and Jedi game was about him, not about some other pre-established characters who also survived it

Well, looks like me being way too sceptical about the fact that Respawn is making the game was... a bit overblown, to say the least.
Who knows what they could've done, but I don't need to worry about it anymore.

P.S. EA can go fuck itself.

Probably because Respawn’s got a boatload of projects they’re already working on, and EA is wary of the licensing fees Disney commands.
EA is also emboldened after the success of EA FC 24 where they ditched a license they were attached to for 30 years and didn’t miss a beat.

I don’t think Respawn needs to do Star Wars shit, I mean Jedi Survivor was ok but if anything it was held back by the license, and the license isn’t that good anymore. Like who gives a shit about Star Wars in 2024 lmao. It’s pretty cringe.
