Expect lots of mobile games that EA can sell rights to. With lots of micro-transactions. Which will be then ported for cheap to the PC.

What was the last PC EA space sim or sci-fi FPS?

Dead Space is the closest I can think of. Maybe a Crysis like game in SW universe? A Dragon Age game dressed like SW?

So many ways they can keep crapping on the franchise.

So sad SW Lucas Arts games sold poorly after the prequels.

Battlefront was an ass game, I simply expect more of the same.

I've pretty much just accepted that Star Wars was an awesome trilogy from my childhood and there were great games that came with it.

At this point Star Wars is just experiencing Halo syndrome, releasing uninspired crap for the sake of making trucks of cash via brand recognition.

Bingo.


We should NOT be expecting a current day version of something like the Jedi Knight games or the X-Wing space sims. Ain't gonna happen.

Hell imagine my disappointment at realizing the next movie was named Rogue One. I had thought for a while that it was Rogue Squadron. THAT is a movie I would love to see. I guess I will just have to settle for a bunch of dead Bothan's.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a KOTOR/Mass Effect type of action-RPG game. That could be pretty amazing.
I'd like another Empire at War RTS too though.

I loved Empire at War though the ground combat was pretty crappy. I'm not surprised though, I was always a big fan of Star Wars: Rebellion. Though in Rebellion and a little in EaW I modded out some of the items that just didn't feel cannon.

For example: The missile boats in EaW were way OP so I just modded them out. Same for the Tie Defender in Rebellion. I love playing as the empire but the Defenders made the game a joke.

I would love both of those but I just don't see those types of games fitting into the Disney/EA business plan. Like Bib mentioned before, they will concentrate on making low cost mobile games that have a potential for a constant revenue stream.

Look what happened with SW:TOR. Sure it's still around but it fell way short of EA's expectations and SW:TOR was a very pricey MMO to develop.

I never tried SW:TOR, my play style is usually too sporadic to do monthly charges and heard a ton of bad things about it by the time it went FTP. Time passed and I joined Skyrim MMO, AND was disappointed.

Played a bit of battlefront during BETA. Loved the graphics. Loved the sound. The game...BLEW. Glad I spent no money on that POS. I am afraid Bib and Panzer are correct.

Check the Google store: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=star%20wars&c=apps&hl=en

All these games are revenue for Disney. Heck, KOTOR I is now a mobile game!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aspyr.swkotor&hl=en


Why would they produce a low profit game for PC?

EA & Visceral to Produce Open World RPG Star Wars Game

Going to be a while though.
Can't find any mention of an RTS. Guess it's time for my annual EAW playthrough.

Not holding my breath for a good SW game. Those days seem gone.

I got my BD at Target, came with two exclusive extras totaling about 20 mins that I watched, pretty interesting. Haven't seen any of the other stuff yet.

If it turns out to be as well made as the original KOTOR I will gladly pay $60 or more for it.

I hear ya. KOTOR with current day graphics and fully voiced alone would be incredible.

Just imagine a redone KOTOR with the Witcher 3 graphics engine. **drool**

Well that would be out of date now, but a Resistance one or classic trilogy one might work.

They could either go with a Rebel Commando or the new Imperial First Order Stormtrooper.
I can't stop thinking about the Electric baton badas$ that fought Finn outside the crumbled Cantina.

I'd really like to be a Stortrooper again... :P

"TR-8R" (traitor), or FN-2199
Apparently he knew Finn, as did the dying one that smeared blood on his helmet from their squad.
(per quick google search)
Pretty much stole Gwendoline Christie's character's thunder. LOL
She hasn't done anything yet.

We still don't know why they wear that useless armor though, other than filtering fumes. LOL
Han can just wear an oxygen mask with a tube inside a space worm, but Storm Troopers need an entire plastic suit of armor?
