Star Wars Zero - Hands On preview by PC Gamer

Damn I was wondering when they would give us more information about this game.

And damn this looks so good........full on AAA storytelling, cinematics and "hub" worlds.......damn this actually much deeper than I thought it was gonna be.

Why is this going so under the radar, has EA sent this to die?


P.S
Vince Zampella gone but not forgotten.
Glad he got this game greenlit.
Cuz it pretty much ticks every box of what ive wanted from a tactics game in the Star Wars universe.


P.P.S
The announce keyart is still fire, I hope the boxart is as good.

Can't say I'm too thrilled about the design of the companions they showed us so far, but I wouldn't exactly count that as a priority for this genre, anyway.
 
Not much shown in that video, this is the kind of game I need some super in depth gameplay to decide, xcom-like games live or die by its mechanics. It's not enough to have turn-based combat and call it a day. Excited for it, but I need to see it.
 
Mixing third person exploration with this style of gameplay seems cool. Usually not my kind of game but I do have all the Shadow Tactics/Gambit and Desperados 3 installed waiting to be played. I had fun in Xcomn EU too.
 
I am always interested in turn based goodness. Not a huge fan of star wars though....but if the game is somewhat deep and interesting....why not!
 
On the one hand, I am all for more strategy games, on the other hand, Jim Vesella seems to be occupied with this, and I'd rather have him fight for Command & Conquer again (he did get the great C&C Remastered collection greenlit). In fact, I would love for EA to stop making Disney/Marvel license stuff and focus on their IPs.

Blatant shilling for Command & Conquer while sporting a C&C avatar. Reported.
 
Disappointing to hear them drone on about story. No one cares. Star Wars is a simplistic western. We don't need to pretend there's moral depths on offer.

Hopefully the gameplay isn't shit.
 
Gears Tactics reignited my love for turn-based tactical games.

But, man, I really hate Star Wars in the Disney era. The gameplay will have to be tuned to perfection.
 
I'd like to think it'll work really well, everything I've read and the little I've seen sounds cool. I just need to see more of it. It's cool seeing more XCOM-likes come around.

Luckily, this is set during the Clone Wars. So maybe they can keep the Disney bullshit at a minimum.
