Jason Schreier: "EA Motive has been working on a Star Wars game for a while"

I'm still unclear about this one, so theres really only 3 potentially in development for next gen: Fallen Order 2, Battlefront 3, Motive's? Or 4, and the 4th is being made somewhere besides Canada?
bioware is stuck with anthem for another 3 years since they wont have DA4 ready until after EOFY march 2022? YIKES

A Mass Effect Remastered can happen before DA4 release and Anthem re-release.
EA Motive new SW has been confirmed
Jedi Fallen Order 2 is a possibility but not confirmed
And a new BF3 is not planned, since BF2 is doing good and keeps getting updates.
Keep in mind that the new Battlefield will release in 2021, skipping next-gen launch + on-going support for BFV and Battlefront 2.
DICE is indeed a big studio, but i doubt they are planning a new Battlefront title anytime soon.
we know from JS they're rebooting it basically. Sticking with it worked for Bungie, and I'd say that Anthem had more pieces in place at this point than D1 did. But also, I agree, yikes.
You're right, but I promise we'll see a next gen based Battlefront, even if its long ways out. They probably really want to utilize the CPU way more and now they can.
Lasers may be involved, whether fired from the player or an emeny.
Modern games take like 3-5 years from inception to release, it was always going to take a while if the very first wave of games didn't make a splash.
Coming on the heels of the excellent reception for Jedi Fallen Order and the current state of Battlefront 2. You couldn't resist injecting unnecessary negativity, could you?
saying this stuff as if games are made in a day.
It looked really nice and had a decent outline. Now the level design and the actuals of the story clearly needed work. I do wonder if it will pick up from where that campaign left off though.
Wait so was Orca Amy Hennig's Star Wars game? And now JS is saying the team that picked up the bones of that is no longer working on it?
In their defense, they cobbled that shit together in a year, and only because EA demanded it. This one should hopefully be a much more well thought out and better executed game.
Amy's game was Ragtag, and I believe Orca was the name of the project where they were trying to salvage anything they could from what had already been built for Ragtag.

Assuming the deal was signed on the same day as this press release, expect the deal to expire after 6 May 2023.

if we dream together it has to come true.
I don't even mean like a 1 to 1 remake but, you know, another game like that would be awesome. Across eras too because I wanna fly everything.
The potential was established with the VR X-Wing mission in SWBF (2015), it's crazy that there hasn't been a follow-up of that.
Orca was EA Vancouver's (Visceral Games old Ragtag Star Wars game) cancelled Star Wars game. EA Motive worked on Battlefront II campaign and is working on this new Star Wars game. They have probably been working on it since Battlefront II launched, maybe even before that.
Fallen Order was indeed excellent and one of my favorite releases this year, that being said it's more than fair to criticize EA for the utter dearth of SW games this generation given their resources, ability to outsource projects to smaller studios, and the fact that we're almost done with a whole frickin trilogy of new SW movies having been released. Maybe its been a mandate from Lucasfilm but not even exploring smaller non AAA titles seems like its been a huge miss too.
In terms of production budget its apples to oranges but look at the glut of SW games we got during the prequel trilogy initial release, it's nuts compared to what we've had this gen. I know shit gets canceled more often than making it to retail but even so it feels like EA have mismanaged holding the reigns of the license to a large degree, and I hope someone else gets a shot at handling it for next gen, or the field is widened considerably to allow a lot more devs and studios tackle the IP. A couple rather bland multiplayer shooters and one single player title is pretty lacking in the vidya space considering the immense popularity of SW in general rn and the tons of resources being poured into every other form of product consumption for it.
To be fair Vader Immortal is a thing and is pretty polished but its also very short per episode and largely feels more like a VR experience sans the lightsaber dojo mode.
Here's hoping the EA Motive game turns out well.
Isn't BioWare Austin the ones handling the Anthem revamp? I assume Edmonton is split between helping with that, Dragon Age & the new Mass Effect that they're in pre-production for.
Battlefront 2017 is one of the better Star Wars games ever no doubt, I haven't finished Fallen Order but I've been having a good time with that too. It's just weird that EA has been largely silent on the Motive project despite them gleefully showing us random shots of artists looking at screens in the studio and that sliver of in-game footage back at E3 2016. Despite their developers putting out overall great products EA bungles the announcements and early marketing of these games.
So it's not so much the lateness of the game as it is EA telling us about these games years before they are ready to be shown. And yes I know other publishers do the same thing but EA is EA and they make it very easy to be frustrated with them.
idk how a remaster absolves BW of being stuck with Anthem until DA4. It likely wouldn't even be them that does it. It's very rare for the main studio to do it's own remaster.
Anthem and Destiny are not comparable IMO. Anthem was maligned even before it's official launch because of the early access. Destiny had a myriad of complaints but it was never in the space Anthem is in right now. Even at their lowest Destiny was still a thing. Anthem might as well not even exist right now. It doesnt really occupy any headspace besides when ppl talk about how much of a fuckup it is or are discussing the supposed 2.0 reboot.
Idk who is "handling" the reboot, but we do know that Austin are the ones currently keeping anthem afloat yes. As for Edmonton it's likely 90% of the studio on DA4 and the rest scraping together whatever the next ME is. But regardless, it still leaves Bioware with nothing their name is on besides Anthem between now and then. Well i guess you can also count SWTOR.
Cool cool
really wish EA gave criterion the green light to make rogue squadron instead but whatever

The perfect answer. X-Wing or a TIE-Fighter VR game is any Star Wars kids dream, and EA already has done a fantastic job with it in Battlefront. Please do it!
Hopefully nothing like Jedi Fallen Order.
Couldn't have been less interested in that game sadly.

That campaign is straight up trash in every aspect except for the graphics and sound design.
Same. If EA Motives game gonna release by 2022 then I doubt EA greenlight two only Single player games before seeing Fallen Order reception.
