There's really no reason to think BF's campaign has any bearing on this game whatsoever.

It just better be fun. I agree with the other poster, when i play these type of SW games i want to have the freedom to go wild with the force and experiment during encounters. I dont want to play defensively at all. If people are expecting something that allows that level of freedom without harsh punishment akin to the Jedi Knight series they arent going to think to themselves "Hmmm this isnt what i expected or as fun as it should be but that makes sense because Cal is a padawan, maybe ill get to be free in the sequel".
Preordered, ready to play the game regardless of it being bad or not, it's a third person action/adventure single player star wars game directed by stig asmussen, what else could you ask for?
We really weren't entitled to those as well. A publisher doesn't owe us a demo or a trial. Again, there's plenty of 3 hour demo impressions to read through and there will be full reviews by next week. If those aren't good enough for you, just watch the gameplay snippets that will be released

Didn't realize he worked on God of War earlier in his career. Really excited for this, just hoping to see a Digital Foundry breakdown to know where to buy it (assuming Xbox).
Although I have my own slew of problems with that game, the campaign wasn't one of them (apart from the promise of playing as a stormtrooper being broken within the first 30 minutes of the game). Some of those missions (the one on Jakku and the one as Kylo at the end come to mind) were fucking awesome.
He's the director of IMO the best God of War boss sequences ever, the first part of GoW 3 is still unmatched to this day. Really exited to play this.
"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack" - Yoda. Jedi, by training are defensive fighters. Mace (at least in the old Canon) had the most aggressive fighting style and internally he had to be very careful not to fall to the dark side. People what an authentic Jedi experience mate, then this is probably as close as we have ever been to getting it.
Of course i can only speak for myself, but when playing as Kyle Katarn it NEVER crossed my mind that i shouldnt be playing offensively and hurling storm troopers around the room and i never heard other gamers saying that it wasnt authentic enough.
Im hoping the developers can pull this off and make it a fun game because no amount of story justification will make up for gamer disappointment if the game isnt fun. The devs have to remember that the audience for a souls game is not the same audience that will be looking at a star wars Jedi game.
The only reason I'm excited for this game is because Stig is directing it, I really don't care if the footage looks dull because I think this is gonna be awesome.
What?
Nah, those green letters at the top saying "Xbox Live" most likely mean it's only for PS4 and PC.
By the way, this has already been debunked by some EA dude here. Unfortunately, he seems to ignore users asking about the review embargo (I hope he's just sleeping or his internet broke down or something).
I'm surprised I never received a follow-up message or email saying the message was sent in error. Did anyone else with EA Access on Xbox get the message I received?
This is being made by a completely different studio so completely irellevant
Have to admit I wasn't sold on the first gameplay showcases, but I really want this to be good. Been waiting for a successor to the Jedi Knight games for far too long. This seems to be it and more. Respawn is a great studio so there's plenty of reason to be hopeful.
But Kyle Katarn isn't really a Jedi Knight when you are playing him. And he has way too much anger in him.
You think Sony will have re-released PS4 games and not let the ps5 enhance them?
I saw a someone from EA post in response to this question in a forum that reviews will go live right before launch. So I'm guessing Thursday next week?
EDIT: It was on reddit
That's an assumption that has backfired a number of times recently. I'm definitely waiting until we get definitive answers on that performance mode before I decide if I'm playing this on the Pro or X.
Exactly lol, it should be a sure thing but I've ran into a handful of games that for one reason or another the Pro offered a more stable performance (whether the X is pushing a full 4K causing issues or forcing 1080P on Pro offering a locked framerate).
" Around launch" seems like the day to me, but it could be thursday.I saw a someone from EA post in response to this question in a forum that reviews will go live right before launch. So I'm guessing Thursday next week?

Haven't been able to check the console yet, but it's not appearing in the mobile app.
This slightly worries meI saw a someone from EA post in response to this question in a forum that reviews will go live right before launch. So I'm guessing Thursday next week?

only around launch? thats disappointing.I saw a someone from EA post in response to this question in a forum that reviews will go live right before launch. So I'm guessing Thursday next week?

but EA doesnt have a track record of doing early embaroges, so i dont think its a reason to worry just yet.
then again EA didnt release a highly rated SP game in years
true, but its a SP/MP game, so they could have excused late embargo.
Yeah, but that's exception. I mostly play SP and EA have been trash this gen
F8RGE is the official Community Manager for EA Star Wars.
He came into this thread to clarify the confusion about the Xbox message and that's it. It's not his fault or decision why there is not a trial.
He's a good dude who has done right by the Battlefront community and I'm sure he is telling us everything he is allowed to.
actually, looking up again, TF2 review embargo already went up 4 days before launch, but going by the EA employee's wording, Jedi's reviews will be same day reviews...
now thats slightly worrying.
A few weeks ago some people were convinced that the game in your icon was going to get universal praise because of a review embargo > 1 week before launch. It got very mixed reviews (although many great ones!), but still very far from universal acclaim. This speculation is a bit pointless I guess because we'll all know soon enough. I am reassured because they gave really meaty previews and 70+ industry people a chance to spend 3 hours with the game and the praise was just about unanimous, and I also don't think that Star Wars games necessarily need to rely on the momentum of positive reviews for launch sales.

I think people are overreacting.
Anthem had trial and early access and everyone saw how bad the game was, also, several previews not positive about the game.
Having a day one or day -14 embargo means nothing as long as quality is concerned.
I'm not saying Jedi Fallen Order is going to be a masterpiece, but being "worried" because reviews are not dropping one week or days before the launch means absolutely nothing. Bethesda didn't gave review copies for DOOM and Dishonored 2 and they ended up being so good, it really means nothing at the end of the day.
