Respawn is pretty solid. I don't think they've ever made a bad game.

 

[jaysius]

I'm reading the Battle Scars novel right now it's canon and it takes place "years before Jedi Survivor", it's got a trans(??? Maybe the thing identifies as a SHE and has a chest "as flat as Cal's" when it has it's shirt off)/lezbo thing going on with Merrin... so yea. There are completely out of place steamy PG-13 lezbo sex scenes that end before the really heavy parts begin. They also try to recreate the "love in a tense situation" Luke/Leia thing with Merrin that char too.

Overall it's a decent quick read, lots of shit dies, there's a frustrating "BUT DUUUR I'M A GOOD JEDI" bit that leads to trouble for the team.

I was worried that it was going to turn into Guardians of the Galaxy with the "quirky" mix they've got there. It's not quite there yet though.

 

[SeraphJan]

This might be my most anticipated game in 2023, one of the best year

 

[Heisenberg007]

. Ignore.

If it helps, writer of this novel apparently wasn't involved with Survivor's story. She apparently was one of writers for KotOR's Remake though

If it helps, it states ON THE COVER that it's canon and it's Years before Jedi Suvivor.

I would treat it as just a tie-in than anything. And it's not like other medias contradicted these canon novels already in some little forms or another. Battlefront 2 also had a novel that was marketed as a prequel to the game and I don't think anything from it was even referenced in-game

Ahsoka novel is also a good example.

Spoiler

One of the recent animated series - Tales of the Jedi - basically retconned entire novel out, using a very same story and telling it in a much different way

Look at how they delayed it out of the fiscal year March release that ruined Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem releases.

Vince has a lot more say now over at EA, and this shows that they are willing to delay big games now. At least when it comes to Respawn games. DICE and Bioware might be another story.

Yeah, I was surprised that the Battlefront 2 game storyline really didn't have much to do with the book because I thought Battlefront II: Inferno Squad by Christie Golden was a pretty great sci-fi book. (The novel's backstory helped establish the game's generally neglected side characters, but even after reading the book first, I kind of had to flip back and say, "Ok, this game character is supposed to be this one or who...")

 

[Flabagast]

No thanks

 

[SeraphJan]

Best Star Wars game

 

[Gamerguy84]

What a cock-tease that play button was.

 

[CGNoire]

Dude update that Thread title and op to inform people that the video isnt up yet otherwise this thread is currently clickbait.

 

[Edge Lord]

Why anyone would want to play this? First one was janky mess and this one also will be no different.

 

[hyperbertha]

Why the f do we have release dates for trailers? Do they seriously expect people to be hyped for a 3 minute video of an above average souls clone? I wouldn't even be hyped for a from soft trailer unless it was a gameplay reveal of new ip.

 

[Wingnut]

One of my most anticipated game of the year. I am hyped

 

[vodka-bull]

Announcing a release date for a trailer? That was cool with GTA4…

 

[Moses85]

Sorry, already busy playing RE4 Remake and afterwards ZtotK

Not the smartest move releasing the game in April.

 

[Draugoth]

Trailer is up

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Finally moving into high gear with truly current-gen games. It’s taken awhile!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Im in! loved the first one. Cant wait.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

 

[ClosBSAS]

loooks dopey dope as fuckery fuck

 

[SlimySnake]

Looks ok.

 

[RCU005]

Story Trailer - Translation:

Full-of-Spoilers Trailer

 

[Bartski]

yeah I'm in

 

[Madflavor]

I liked the first game so I’ll be getting this. Good to see Merrin back.

 

[TrebleShot]

Unreal 5?
60fps on PS5?

 

[analog_future]

Looks freaking fantastic to me.

Visually it's a huge upgrade over the first one.

 

[Black_Stride]

Oaky this actually looks pretty damn good.

 

[Black_Stride]

Looks freaking fantastic to me.

Visually it's a huge upgrade over the first one.

Yup fully agree.
I think the earlier trailers didnt show the graphical upgrades, this trailer better showed the enhancements.

Really looking forward to this.

 

[3liteDragon]

Now I see the visual upgrades, looks great.

 

[GymWolf]

Graphic looks great, now let's hope the game is gonna be way better than the previous one.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Will the lightsaber be a glow-stick baseball bat again? Or will it actually cut through and kill stuff easily - like the deadly weapons they are supposed to be? No interest in giving health bars a beat down. I'll stick to JKII and JKA.

User name checks out.

 

[marjo]

That was a really good trailer.
I'm now much more interested than I was before I watched it.

 

[jshackles]

This looks amazing. I've played the first game three times now, I'm definitely in for this one.

 

[oji-san]

Looks fantastic, gonna replay the first game before Survivor.

 

[Luipadre]

gfx looks great but i cant get over the fact that the ingame animations improved nothing and it was jank city in the first game...

 

[The artful mincer]

This game will sell loads. The first one sold really well

 

[Punished Miku]

Definitely enjoyed the first game. I will get this for sure, but now it's a question of when. Zero chance for me at $70.

 

[SCB3]

The first one was my GotY, but I have cooled off Star Wars a lot since then, Mandalorian aside really, not seen Andor yet but heard good things

So I am looking forward to this, I have the PS5 version of the first game downloaded for a replay before hand I think

 

[balls of snow]

Very hype love the first one. Probably the best star wars since KoToR

 

[Flabagast]

seems boring as fuck

 

[kingyala]

awesome art direction levels of detail and production quality really top notch but the gameplay comes out shallow, not sure because it has to be friendly to minors or just a design decision... it just feels like its constrained and not free flowing or action packed like assassins creed games or uncharted or maybe ive been spoiled by past ea titles like 007 games on ps2

Naniwhat?

First one is awesome, and I couldn't be anymore moist than I am right now for the second one.

 

[Kindela]

Liked the first one a lot, even ended up platinuming it, which I usually never do. But I still can't help but roll my eyes a little bit on these sorts of videogamey as hell roadblocks:
