Gamer Assault Weekly takes a look a what the future hold for Star Wars games.
You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.
"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"
The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.
I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.
As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up
If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.
I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore
One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere
Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.
Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.
That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few
One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.
Revisit 'Star Wars: Imperial Ace,' the 2006 mobile game that brought immersive Star Wars space battles to the palm of your hand.
Dive into 'Star Wars: Death Troopers' game demo, a blend of sci-fi and horror, promising a unique, thrilling experience in a familiar galaxy.
Hoping they somehow salvage 1313 and the Darth Maul game... like the two best star wars games I could conceive and they got canned :(
The future is looking dicey.
Will DICE finally do something good like Vader or are they more like the evil emperor? They haven't thrown EA over a ledge yet :(.
I'm craving for more Force Unleashed type Star Wars games. It was fun but still had so much potential. I want better developers to make something like Force Unleashed, if done properly it could be so much fun.
Pretty sure LucasArts had very little to do with SWTOR beyond the franchise itself. In fact, part way through its development they ceased all involvement due to lack of money.
The future of Star Wars is entirely up to Disney at this point. Where they decide to go with it will determine it. Prequels are likely done at this point, mostly. Sounds like it will be post ROTJ, which is good IMO.
For all their faults, EA knows how to milk a franchise, unlike LucasArts. I think the biggest indicator of how the games will be is Battlefront 3. Battlefront had a certain x factor that I think set it apart from Battlefield, so if that remains and its not just a clone, then things will be looking up.
In the end, a future without George Lucas has got to be better. The franchise has no where to go but up IMO.
If DICE nails Battlefront 3, I will repent them for the buggy mess that is BF4.
