The trickier aspects of this Star Wars partnership have certainly rankled developers, which is another reason that fans haven't gotten what they've hoped. Back in 2017, one ex-Visceral developer described the Lucasfilm approval process to me in brutal fashion: "With Star Wars you could be talking months—potentially years… Oh, would [protagonist] Dodger really look like this? What would his weapon look like? Potentially years of that. Would he carry this? Would that really work in the Star Wars universe? With Uncharted, they can build any world they come up with, because it's their world. With Star Wars you have to have that back and forth… People think, 'Oh it must be so cool to work on Star Wars.' It actually kind of sucks."
I'm not so sure,they literally said they were cancelling the Amy Hennig game so they could make it GaaS,which kinda means loot box/microtransaction bullshit if you're EA,lol.You're all jumping to blame EA - for all we know it was Disney that canned it
you do realise that EA is a business and it doesn't just cancel games because it cant put loot boxes in or to annoy people at ERA, right?
Two Battlefront games, what's the third one? 🤷♂️So since EA acquired a license to make Starwars games we've had a grand total of 3 and multiple cancelled projects.
What the hell are they doing?
Right, totally forgot about that one. Yeah, I'm hoping LucasFilms is observing what Marvel is doing, and they implement that strategy going forward.The mobile game Galaxy of Heroes
god the state of SW games is depressing
They'd need more than a 10 year deal to get a single game out anyway.I can't help but think that the Beyond Good and Evil 2 studios would make a great SW game. That game is Star Wars in concept and execution tbh.
Well i assume that BGE2 is a 2020- 2021 title for sure.They'd need more than a 10 year deal to get a single game out anyway.

There's been speculation overnight about one of our Star Wars projects. As a natural part of the creative process, the great work by our team in Vancouver continues and will evolve into future Star Wars content and games. We're fully committed to making more Star Wars games, we're very excited about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn, and we'll share more about our new projects when the time is right.
Lmao Disney is probably not pleased with how this contract has been working out
order of importance, content then games
"FIFA Ultimate Team makes a billion dollars a year.' Where's your version of that?"
You can even re-create the taxation of trade routes dispute from Episode 1, and expand on all the exciting bureaucracy at work scenes while you work through your 25th -haul X tonnes of ferrocrete- mission. Nothing screams fun, space adventure more than hauling cargo and half an hour fuel scoop expeditions...Release Elite: Dangerous with a SW skin, sell 20 million copies. Hire me EA.
This is gold.Release Elite: Dangerous with a SW skin, sell 20 million copies. Hire me EA.
This is gold.
Has Era got a copy paste list of "obvious dev studios -> obvious SW game" Disney could have done besides this EA deal lol?
"This rumours that you shouldnt take seriously are true, but please, do not take seriosuly and please be excited for the future."
EA doesnt want the usual million sellers. They wanted lootboxes in Starwars with a long stream of cash. They wanted to exploit the fansTheir incompetence is staggering, any major publisher could dump out even a 7/10 safe bet of game every 2 years and they'd sell millions of copies
It's Star Wars, just barely need to try and people will buy it
Fuck EA, Fuck Disney, and Fuck LucasFilm.
Seriously, how can Star Wars games be worse now than late-stage LucasArts?
Yeah, but apparently all those prior games were garbage because they weren't canon...
