How about a story on how all these clone wars era droids are coming back online? yet that never happened in the lore on mass.

There were few here and there but now jedi survivor and here they are fully awake non hostile.

This games story is like so many other star wars ideas just made for the trash bin

Can not wait till the next star wars game were 2 gay droids fight for freedom against hon solos secret daughter or some crap.

Daeloki352d ago

Survivor was limited to a fairly small area of the galaxy, mainly Koboh, and the game literally explains how they were brought back "online" so to speak and programmed to serve the raiders. I think you underestimate how big a galaxy is.

As for them being hostile or not, we've seen restraining bolts ever since a New Hope and in the prequel era the battle droids were usually remotely controlled. Once those restraints are removed it makes sense that these droids would regain some level of freedom. There has always been a theme of treating droids fairly in Star Wars and showing that they are more than just machines and promoting them having free will. Having droids with personality as supporting characters or even main characters sounds awesome to me, I don't see how variety is a bad thing.

just_looken352d ago

variety is fine and yeah droids being back online here and there sure

But last few years they have been rewriting solid lore and story to fit the last trilogy

There is a huge galaxy like you said stop dinging out the past to flash it again

She could have been a rebel eventually or become a smuggler helping with cargo shipments through that show off a droid like they did in rebels.

Chopper is a classic yeah like r2d2 but still new spin made it fresh

Here is a commando droid oh battle droid same lines just there for "fans"

Heck why do we not have another genral grevies? cyborg style that would be way more interesting

"But last few years they have been rewriting solid lore and story to fit the last trilogy"
Such as? I admit there has been a lot of stuff added into the timelime, but I don't think there's a lot that changes or touches excisting lore too much.

"She could have been a rebel eventually or become a smuggler helping with cargo shipments through that show off a droid like they did in rebels."
I don't understand what you're saying here?

"Chopper is a classic yeah like r2d2 but still new spin made it fresh

Here is a commando droid oh battle droid same lines just there for "fans"

Heck why do we not have another genral grevies? cyborg style that would be way more interesting"

Again, I'm not really sure what point you think you're making?

just_looken352d ago

I am saying is stop beating the same drum and or the past

My examples were bad

Just know the droid will be saying classic lines and she will be stupid like like mandalorian season 3 because everything is in stone and or changed so the first order can rise then that whole garbage story.

Daeloki352d ago

"I am saying is stop beating the same drum and or the past"

I mean sure it seems to be set in the "past" but it does seem like a fresh take compared to what we've gotten in the past. And it seems like it's gonna be a more grassroot level plot so it won't necessarily even connect with excisting lore in any major way. Regardless, we've seen very little, so it's a bit early to draw any conclusion one way or the other.

"Just know the droid will be saying classic lines and she will be stupid like like mandalorian season 3 because everything is in stone and or changed so the first order can rise then that whole garbage story."

Very weird take, like I said, it's too early to assume anything about the plot, let alone "just know" anything. That type of battle droid hasn't really been shown to say anything quotable (it's not the same as the roger-roger ones). As for Kay, we hardly know anything about her yet, so a bit soon to start calling her stupid. And stories like the Mandalorian that are set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens are bound to have relation to how the First Order came to be, from a story telling point of view that just makes sense. That said, this game takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi so I highly doubt there's gonna be any reference to the First Order.

That’s just the Star Wars films in general

Always online and stupid tiers of the game with locked content make it not accessible as it should be. Ubisoft has turned into shite

Wretchedstain23h ago

Not just Ubisoft, just about all gaming has gone to shite.

Garethvk2d ago

We can hope. Especially if the rumors of Cillian Murphy and Alaska are true.

RaidenBlack2d ago

That'd be too good if true.
But Henderson also leaked that next Far Cry setting was targeting some asian island.

jznrpg1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

With their shitty practices I really don’t care what Ubisoft announces until they reverse their course

Relientk772d ago

Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up

Huey_My_D_Long2d ago

Yeah, Hex sounds amazing to me as well, and I've been playing since AC 1. I'm real curious how are they gonna fit the magic into the game, maybe in similar way the dlc introduced gods and god abilities. but I love that I've heard its gonna have a horror vibe.

Garethvk2d ago

Hopefully it is full of good stuff.

RaidenBlack2d ago

The studio just completed Avatar and busy with Outlaws and also got their F2P Heartland cancelled ... IMO, Division 3 will surely come but it'll take more time.
I'd be most thrilled if Ubisoft greenlits a sequel or at least a remake of the studio's first game i.e World in Conflict

anast2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I would get hyped about Hexe. If the rumors are true, UBI might get a gold edition purchase out of me.

Demetrius2d ago

Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity

neutralgamer19922d ago

We will definitely see gameplay for star wars and AC. Farcry let's see

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!

*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.

RaidenBlack2d ago

Would love a AAA PoP too or a back to roots Ghost Recon (none of the open world stuff)

MeatyUrologist2d ago

Hell yes! Ghost recon in the style of the originals with real consequences, permanent and all!

jznrpg1d 3h ago

I love Rayman, played it a ton with my kids years ago. But Ubisoft puts dumb crap in their games. MTs , paid tiers , always online requirement for single player games and as they stand now I could see them doing that to Rayman

OtterX1d 3h ago

Yea unfortunately, you're right. :'(

Garethvk2d ago

Beyond Good and Evil 2: It is coming really; we promise.

OtterX2d ago

Their microtransaction monetization scheme on it will lie somewhere between good and evil!

Haha JK.... it'll be completely evil. 🙃

Are we that starved for SW content that we will overlook the staples of Ubisoft practices and embellish with terms like "epic"?

At best, this is a 7/10. That is likely without platform and property bias. I do not think this will in any way be a transformative or definite star wars experience.
