I mentioned that one thing I liked was the lethal lightsabers earlier, and I agree with you on that. But notice the non-braindead enemies, force grabs, and the fluid animation. There are a few steps forward here, but a shit ton more steps back.This is literally the exact opposite of what I want.
Lightsabers aren't the blades of chaos or clubs.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Official Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter cdm00
- Start date
It doesn't look bad, but it really didn't do much for me. I'll probably get it just because it's Star Wars.
I really like the look of this game. Looks like the best Uncharted Raider out there. Super down to play this.
Just pretend it's Dragon's Dogma 2, and that's the new Maelstrom.
It's pretty generic when it's not adding anything that hasn't already been done to death this generation to its core gameplay.
"How can this be generic when it checks off every modern AAA trope?!" Still early, but I seriously doubt a whole lot will change before release other than polish.
If you watch a skilled player take out hollow warriors in the Undead Burg, it will look brain-dead too.
You need to time those deflections and those force powers. You presumably can't spam the force powers thanks to that "stamina" bar.
I'm with you. People want flashy spectacle, but I much prefer seeing this.
This was my thinking during the whole trailer too....looks amazing!!
Also a big YES at the linear style they are going for, so so sick of open worlds.
Interested to play since I've got Origin Premier. Looks like there's quite a few creative ways playing combat though animation seems a bit stiff. I kind of have to agree but something seems a bit tame and uninteresting. I think it's the levels design and way to progress is a big part of the feeling .Characters look and feel really dull, some of the A.I looks a bit brain dead at times. Music is really nice though.
Yeah, fuck that alone and improving the braindead ai would make a big difference imo.
This is my take away as well. Looks aight but you could just say this is Force Unleashed 3 and I wouldn't bat an eye
What do people want from a Jedi/Sith game might be the better question to ask. Something more spectacular? Something like Transformers: Devastation (a highly entertaining character action game that keeps the horrid QTEs to a minimum) but with a Star Wars theme would be my personal choice. What they showed didn't look terrible and could end up being really good within its own scope but it's not exactly what I want from such a game. I'll probably still get it at some point in a sale though. After all, there's not a whole lot of choice these days when it comes to Star Wars games!What did people expect out of a 3rd person Star Wars action-adventure anyway?
Looks good and it seems like the saber has weight to it but i don't like how damn slow the blaster bolts are. I'm guessing the bolts speed are how Cal as a Jedi sees them?
Going by this thread you'd think the video was a complete disaster, but it looks pretty fun to me! Not sure about the stormtroopers attack patterns though, 3 shots then they just kind of stand there like absolute numpties, feels like they should at least move around a bit. I'm glad the lightsaber seems really lethal in combat, that was the one thing that completely put me off the Force Unleashed.
I'll definitely get Origin Premiere for this.

I also felt this looked awful generic so far. But Respawn still has the beneift of the doubt for me.
But Wookies should absolutely not look this bad in 2019...

No worries, s'all good.
I mean, the game might end up being a huge disappointment to me too. Perhaps enemy variety will suck after 2 levels. Perhaps those large environments they boasted about will be a wet fart. Perhaps you can button mash your way to victory even on Hard making the Jedi powers moot.
A lot of things can go wrong. But for now I'm cautiously optimistic. I liked what I saw well enough and I'd be happy even with a "Uncharted-style" Star Wars (not even seeing why that'd be a bad thing), but it turns out we might get even more too. I hope they deliver.
I have no idea whos directing, it just reminded me of God of War when watching it.
They're scripted in the demos. You should read the text.
The animation in the demo showcased here today literally looks better than the animation in force unleashed. The smear effect on the lightsabers and motion blur did a good job of the weird poses. Plus you're comparing a demo where the player likely has god mode and the difficulty turned down to a full game.
Hell just the gameplay options shown today showed more depth and options at the player's disposal than in Force Unleashed. Like with the grab mechanic we've seen the player execute:
use it to block a blaster bolt:
and knock an enemy into another:
That last gif is also a good showcase of the mix between input response and good animation blending.
I think the issues people have with this game are:
1. It looks very very similar to Sekiro so it doesn't have a novelty factor.
2. It looked really easy which is against the entire point of the Punch-Out/Sekiro combat system where you have to try to find tells and there's a lot of tension.
3. The environment was very whatever.
4. The story and graphics seemed very whatever.
We'll see how it ends up.

Stig, the director for God of War 3. I was assuming you were talking about the 2018 game though anyway.
Looked exactly like it is imo. Ex- GoW devs make a Star Wars game with, presumably, a tad lesser budget than something like GoW 2018.
Looks good apart from the AI. Also could’ve done with being set in a less trodden period to make it stand out more, but I realise that was Disney’s decision, not necessarily all Respawn.

As if Disney is gonna be ok with limbs flying in a Star Wars game.
I am really happy that we are getting proper SP Star Wars game too. But i just expected better demo, that's it. But we will see what they do in upcoming months.
something about saw gerrera's character design seems so off-putting
does anyone else feel the same?

Looks fairly generic, and nothing we haven't already seen in Jedi Academy or the other previous entries :/
Sometimes Era is very out of touch with the general reception on some things. ESPECIALLY anything SW related...
I have got admit this one. I felt like the fur/hair could have looked better. Given it is alpha, it still can.
Side note: I would definitely wait for a lossless video from Gamersyde or DF to drop to get a sense of the finer details lost due to YT's compression.
Reading Game Informer's article and this part sounds damn good. Of course it remains to be seen if they indeed nail it all!
Star Wars is a franchise built on spectacle. People want it in their Star Wars games. Im all for subverting expectations but turning a Jedi power fantasy saber game into a methodical combat simulator is not going to endear you to fans.
The Pre-Order edition comes with two “Campaign Hilt” for the Light Sabre.
Why... why the emphasis on Campaign there, ay, Single Player only, we sure?

I want the spectacle in the movies lol. I'm fine with the games being different. Isn't KotoR one of the most beloved SW games? Does it have much spectacle in it, or is it beloved because of its great role-playing gameplay and solid writing?
That's definitely true, a more demanding/hardcore audience I suppose.Sometimes Era is very out of touch with the general reception on some things. ESPECIALLY anything SW related...
I mean, 90% likes is fine, but it's not like a spectacular number.Sometimes Era is very out of touch with the general reception on some things. ESPECIALLY anything SW related...
Well... I don't get the impression that the demo really showed off what the final game experience will be like. People are saying it's linear, but if you can pop up a 3D map ala DOOM 2016 and Metroid Prime, then surely they're hiding a more non-linear level design? Also that looked like it was on the easiest mode.
I'll have to see more for sure. Something about Souls-like combat with lightsabers brought a smile to my face tho.

Skipped around the video, and that was my general take. Obviously it being Star Wars with Jedi Powers and light sabers elevates it some to those (like myself) who love that shit, but the actual gameplay looked like so many other 3rd person action adventures but not as polished or exciting. I will certainly reserve judgment for the full release, but was expecting something a bit more.
So uninteresting sadly,
its Force Unleashed but less over the top.
I mean Force Unleashed is fine but after all the time from EA, and Respawn making it
I expected way more.

It happens in the movies. I am so sick of this baseball bat properties on a fucking lightsaber.
Hell, even Clone WArds had gratuitous amounts of dismemberment.
The latter. It had some spectacle as well, but that wasn't what made it endearing.
