Thanks Respawn, Now I’m Worried about Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order

Respawn, what happened? How did we get to where we are now? For the past few years, everybody believed you were the golden child of EA, fighting back against what they seem to stand for whilst reassuring to the world that you were the true good guys. Then everything changed… when the Reddit nation attacked.

[Srhalo]

I was worried as soon as Disney gave Star Wars to EA.

[Jin_Sakai]

Biggest mistake ever. EA ruin everything

[Inzo]

Dont just blame EA, look what Disney has done to the Star Wars movies. Both companies are cut from the same cloth.

[ShadowWolf712]

@Inzo Disney didn't do that. Lucasfilm did it of their own free will. lol

George Lucas was the one who made Kathleen Kennedy his successor, after all.

[bloop]

I was worried as soon as Lucas gave Star Wars to Disney.

[Averyashimself]

THIS^

[SlagWolf]

@bloop and your worries were well founded.
Disney took a The golden goose and cut its head off.

[badz149]

For $4bil, wouldn't you?

[opc]

oh are we pretending the prequels and return of the jedi are good movies now?

[roadkillers]

The first Star Wars release from Disney made more than 4 Billion.. it wasn’t sold for the money.

2 billion just from theatres and then the licensing, toys, video games, tv show, tv deals, dvd sales, and other. Yeah, Lucas was tired of making movies.

[ShadowWolf712]

@opc Return of the Jedi was always a good movie, are you high?

[antz1104]

Lol, because he had a great track record with the series for the passed 20 years, right? Prequels were a dumpster fire.

[Dom_Estos]

Yeah, but Disney haven't exactly covered themselves in glory with it either. The two of them are peas in a pod.

[Zeref]

Imagine CD Project RED with the Star Wars IP

[killswitch80]

I was never worried with both and have been watching and reading Star Wars way before you kids.

[AK91]

Perfectly stated

[badz149]

Wait...just NOW the author is worried?? Since when has this game look even remotely good? The only good news for the game was before they reveal it by saying there won't be lootboxes. Things after that are mostly worrisome. The gameplay reveal has done more harm that good for the game IMO

[Chaosdreams]

If EA is associated, being worried should be the default setting.

[ClayRules2012]

Very true. The force is lost with EA.

[EliteComments123]

lmfao

[SyntheticForm]

Will Star Wars ever be in the right hands?

[JackBNimble]

Star wars is dead

[CurbStompin]

You mean SJW Wars.. That's what it has become.

[SlagWolf]

Star Wars is dead.
Most my entire family including aunts , uncles grandparents , cousins , nephews, etc were all huge Star Wars fans. Every Thanksgiving we watch the trilogy. We all went to go see Force Awakens which was around 40 of us. That killed it for about half of us for those who were still having phantom menace syndrome they got woke up after last Jedi.
Now I think only 2 people out of 40 are going to see Skywalker.
Disney made me hate Star Wars. Even the prequel trilogy wasn’t bad enough to do that

[CorndogBurglar]

Yep. Star Wars is so dead the movies make a billion at the box office...

[Hungryalpaca]

@corndog

TLJ made half of what TFA made and Solo bombed. Skywalker is projected to make less than TLJ. That’s not good.

[Nodoze]

ABSOLUTELY NOT pre-ordering this. Will await full reviews by gamers. EA will buy off press with large marketing campaigns for this one. I.E. We will not get a fair review.

[Hoywhiskey]

I'm not worried because I wont be buying.

[gangsta_red]

If you like Uncharted you'll like this, because it looked like a Tomb Raider/Uncharted gameplay clone with light sabers

[CurbStompin]

Made by a developer who hasn't made a 3rd person game ever.

[Kran]

That...doesn't matter?
They hire people from different backgrounds who HAVE made third person action games...

[Nosferatu_dude]

ahm ahm... guerrilla games made an open world rpg in 3d person after fps ... and they did more then fine:) and yes i know that these are two different developers, but their other projects were cool, so yeah ea bothers me, and they do suck, but on the other hand respawn are a good developer...

[Prince-Ali]

Hardly lool.. this looked boring...

[RememberThe357]

I'm hoping so. I got similar vibes. But there's also something missing. I was sceptical about Uncharted when it was first announcement so maybe I'm just doing the same thing again. But the gameplay looked sort of clunky and slow. I'm hoping that actually playing it is a different experience but as much as I want to be excited, the gameplay so far has just felt "eh."

[Antifan]

Star Wars isn't Tomb Raider or Uncharted. Star Wars is it's own thing. It shouldn't have to clone after any other game. The people in charge of Star Wars no creativity going on.

[Epicent3r1249]

Game looks like run of the mill cannon fodder. Lost all interest as soon as I saw E3 gameplay

[DillyDilly]

Surprise Mechanics in bound

[xRacer74x]

Could always be worse it could have been Activision(The Destroyer of game Franchises)

[Hungryalpaca]

EA is worse than activison.

[xRacer74x]

No way. I think some of you with EA hatred need to read up on why studious closed.

[RememberThe357]

Let's be real, they're both awful.

[Hroach616]

I’ve honestly avoided pretty much every EA game the past few years. They’ve ruined all their good franchises. Was super into SWJ: Fallen Order and fully expecting to pick it up. Hopefully they don’t bungle this one up to. They really can’t afford to otherwise they wont have a chance to renew the license with Disney.
If they mess this game up when it’s looking fantastic so far I’ll def never give them a chance again with my wallet.
Hope it’s great though. But with EA it’s usually not.

[Blu3_Berry]

I always been worried with anything EA has their hands on.

[Mr_Writer85]

Remeber when skins would unlock after playing the game or by cheats?

Remember when maps used to be free?

Remember when guns didn't require a grind to unlock? You just picked your gun?

Good times.... Cheaper times as well.

[pabadamus1]

I try not to remember. It hurts too much to remember how much power we have ceded to these corporations. Our community, divided and weak, lacks the resolve to illicit any beneficial change. As long as we are preordering and buying loot boxes and map packs, things will never change.

[Mr_Writer85]

That's the unfortunate truth.

I'd lie if I said I haven't done any of that stuff, but if I have I've always done so with gritted teeth.

The one that bugs me the most is the "level" systems in MP games. Having to grind out exp to unlock a slightly better gun that before.

[Nosferatu_dude]

Member Berries:)? "I Memberrrrr!"

[Gheritt_White]

Games also used to cost a fraction of what they do today to make. PS2 games were like $7 - 10 million USD in dev costs, for PS4 it'll be closer to $70 - 100 million. And yet, games prices for consumers haven't increased since the PSOne/N64 era. If charging for wholly optional and functionally useless cosmetics helps keep developers afloat, then I have zero issue with the practice.

Needing to grind to unlock actual gameplay content - maps and guns etc. - is abhorrent, though. That said, I'm usually happy to pay for an expansion pack, especially if it's marketed as such.

[knickstr]

EA has officially gotten involved at Respawn. That's what happens when you sell your soul to the devil. Good luck respawn. It's going to be tough ride.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Don't even entertain anything from EA, that's the best course of action.

[AnubisG]

How unfortunate, the state of gaming is today.

[Inzo]

That is why I am scooping up every classic/retro console release I can get my hands on.

[Juusterey]

Now?
Not when it was even vaguely attached to ea?

[Stanjara]

Garbage.

[badboyz09]

We need to Boycott EA over the NFL license and starwars!

[coolastheycome]

You're worried cause they called out some entitled gamers? Lmao

[Christopher]

I'm not a huge EA fan, but all this article is doing is speculating on how they could monetize a SP game. How about we not speculate and just criticize them for what they do? It's not like there isn't enough there to criticize.

[Srhalo]

Willfully forgetting about companies histories and encouraging people buy things with out any regard for the past seems to be a reoccurring theme around here.

[Christopher]

Where did I do either of those things?

[2ndhandcorn]

Oversaturation has killed Starwars and Superhero media for me .

[Christopher]

To be fair, what isn't oversaturated anymore? We got zombies, robots, sci-fi, fantasy, superhero, star wars, cthulhu, and tons more so regularly now in gaming.

[Donnie81]

I hope they don’t put a bunch of dumb micro transactions in this game because it could be amazing. Respawn studios have put out 3 games to date. Apex Legends -88, Titanfall 2 -89 and Titanfall -87. All highly rated and I’m hoping this game takes it to the next level because we really need a great Star Wars single player game

[william_cade]

It's going to be stuffed witth MTs, season passes, xp boosters, day 1 and day 2 DLCs, and a flow chart with 15 different editions.

[Smokehouse]

Lmao! A 20 dollar apex skin?! Star Wars is ruined!

[FlameWater]

Here's a crazy idea, how about not buying games with micro transactions so companies are forced to remove them?

[zodiac909]

Don't Blame Respawn, blame the company that tells them what to do. Electronic Arts.

[Gheritt_White]

This is the worst possible take. I mean, c'mon...

"It harms gaming as it tears gamers apart; players are taking their money which could go on other fantastic games and spending them on pointless cosmetic microtransactions which they’ll look at for a few hours before wanting to change again."

Maybe people should learn some self-control? Cosmetics are just that - they're entirely optional and grant no in-game advantage. If you wanna spend money admiring your e-peen, go ahead. Otherwise you lose out on precisely nothing but skipping them entirely.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Just now you are worried? Think you are late to the game, as you should of been worried from the very beginning.

[bluefox755]

Now? You had any hope to begin with?

[DaniMacYo]

EA just produce great graphics and sounds with their titles. But they suck at giving the developers creative control, they just fill the games with garbage 🗑 MS, bugs, and a load of missed opportunities. So much promise and they deliver sub par content.

[frostypants]

Respawn has ZERO power over what decisions EA makes for them. Only naive dopes blame Respawn.
