It’s been a busy year for EA and I can totally relate since it seems the months are rushing by for me. That said, it’s good to hear from EA about upcoming projects and games. We got an update this weekend from Jade Raymond, the Group General Manager of Motive Studios and Visceral Games. It sounds exciting: “With EA PLAY right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to update everyone on the world of Motive™ Studios and Visceral Games™. Let’s get right to the point: we have awesome projects underway at both Motive and Visceral, and we are looking for some more amazing people to join our teams. Last year, I wrote that the only limitation we have as game developers is the team’s imagination. I have always believed that to be true. But what’s really hit me since launching Motive last July and growing our…

Battle Pods Epsisode VII Levels Are Live
As we were told by Arcade Heroes, Namco was developing a new level to be added to their Star Wars Battle Pod arcade game. This is great news for fans of the game. As a big fan of arcade games and Star Wars, I know I was pumped up about it. It’s always great to see more new content added to these types of games. Star Wars Battle Pod is one of my favorite arcade games and it’s a game that people of all ages can get into – literally. So you can imagine how excited I was to see this game was being updated. This week, popular arcade/FEC chain Dave & Busters uploaded two new commercials to Youtube, giving us a brief glimpse of the new level of Star Wars Battle Pod arcade game. Check out this one and see if it doesn’t get you all pumped up to play this game:…

Lost Wolf Productions has gone above and beyond here to do these missions, record them, and make them available for all of us to see how to do the same.

Could There Be a Star Wars RTS in the Works?
When it comes to Star Wars games, we’ve had the really good, the really bad, and everything in between. It’s no surprise then that fans will be both excited and skeptical at the idea of a new Star Wars game. The rumor mill tells us we might be seeing a Star Wars RTS in the future. This is actually a very interesting idea. While there have been Star Wars RTS games in the past, there was never one done by EA so it will be interesting to see what the developer would do with this type of game. The rumor began around a video that was posted to Elise Baldwin’s Vimeo account. Baldwin was audio director for a number of games in the The Sims series. She claims she was audio director for the Star Wars RTS also, which is how she obtained the footage she shared. EA removed the…
How Powerful Was Starkiller?
This Star Wars Explained video tells us all about Starkiller, a very powerful Force user. Some will call him one of the most powerful Force user around, but others will disagree. So which is it? What powers does he have? When do we first encounter Starkiller and what do we know about him? Well, this video is going to give you the breakdown in under 8 minutes. Some of this you might already know while other parts might be completely new. The thing about a great Star Wars character is that they need to have depth. You need to care about the character. You need to be able to relate to their struggle. You will be able to feel compassion. The stronger a character is written, the stronger you will feel about them. Even the “bad guys” or villains in a story need a relatable personality and some of the…

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens – New Adventures Trailer
Looking for something fun from LEGO Star Wars? Here’s a trailer that got me excited, since I’m a big fan (so are my kids). This 2-minute trailer will show you just what you can expect from the new adventures. If you love LEGO Star Wars and The Force Awakens, then you’re really going to appreciate this. We knew with the release of the new films and the renewed excitement of Star Wars in mainstream culture that we were going to see many things Star Wars themed. It’s true that unless you’ve been living under a rock on a deserted island, you’ve heard of Star Wars. For some longtime fans, the new popularity of the franchise is annoying. Some feel like every company is just pandering to the popularity that came from the new movie. While not everyone will agree, I am happy about the new popularity of the franchise. You can never…

Respawn (Titanfall) is Working On a New Star Wars Game
Patrick Söderlund, Executive Vice President of EA Studios made a post today on EA.com with some very interesting news. It couldn’t have come at a better time than on Star Wars day, either. The short of it? They are working on a new 3rd person action-adventure Star Wars game. How cool is that?

Star Wars: Uprising – Alternate Approaches to Defeating Lvl 85 Lightside Boss (PPK)
The two methods I know of to defeat the PPK (Light Side Lvl 85 Boss) are: Get 5* Noble Gear so you’re immune to his stun Use Sticky Bomb, Snare, and Intimidate, and kite him to the beginning and back Both work fine (with skill, patience, and some luck). Just for kicks I’ve been testing other approaches. Obviously it takes a long time to test different abilities, so I thought I’d crowd source it. Please let me know if you’ve tried the abilities below and what the result was: Diving Roll Level 1 (He’s gonna harpoon you! Dive!) Diving Roll Level 2 (Grants obscured for a short duration) Diving Roll Level 3 (Grants immune while rolling) Charge Level 3 (Interrupts all enemies hit) Absolve Level 1 (Gain immunity to all negative status effects) Holographic Decoy (Deploys a hologram) Ion Wave Level 1 or 2 (Stuns all droids for a short…

It adds Maz Kanata from The Force Awakens to the game, according to an announcement from Disney this past week. All players at headquarters level four and up will be able to do the new tasks in the game.

Star Wars Fans Want to Remake Canceled Battlefront III
We know how much some fans want to see Star Wars: Battlefront III. Some want it so bad, in fact, that they want to remake it themselves. The controversial and ill-fated shooter was in development with Free Radical before it was cancelled and many fans were upset by the news. It’s been almost a year since then but Eurogamer has some info that might indicate a reboot. “Now, fans of Free Radical’s effort at Russia-based Frontwire Studios are attempting to remake this version of Battlefront, retitled Galaxy in Turmoil. The project is live now on ModDB. The small developer is also asking via Reddit for anyone else with coding experience to get involved.” As you probably already know, a lot of the gameplay from Battlefront III (or what it would have been) has been leaked online. We are able to see a lot of info about the levels, capabilities and even…
Star Wars: Uprising – The New Generation of Sector Battles & New Imperial Battles
The Star Wars: Uprising community are getting an update on Sector Battle mechanics which we think look very promising. Check it out: The New Generation of Sector Battles & New Imperial Battles Next Sector Battle: Hey Everyone, Big stuff coming this next week. First: New Sector Battle Prizing and Freedom Ratings. All prizes for normal Sector Battles have been squashed together. This means all Victory levels will reward the same prizes and those prizes will be somewhere between the old Strong Victory and Overwhelming Victory prizes or, in some cases, better. So don’t sweat the Victory Points for prizing, sweat it for upping the prize brackets for next time (see below). All planets with Freedom Rating above 10 will have an even higher bracket of prizes including SILVER FACTION CURRENCY. Since it looks like it’s most certainly Hoth next, I’ll post the prize bracket for its current Freedom Rating at the end of…
Star Wars: Uprising – Sector Battle Imminent: Hoth
This sector battle started yesterday Wednesday the 16th at 9 am PST like usual. Level 95 assaults are out, not many people are up at that level so I do not expect it to make a huge difference but we will see. There are no changes this week, here are the: Milestone rewards. I expect we could see up to 1.2 Mill for Captain or higher because Hoth drops Havod crystals. I will update with the new rewards for 95 and such during the SB. This week’s Leader board: Hoth General (Rank #1-5): Commander (Ranks 6-100): Captain (Ranks 101-3000): Last updated at: 9AM PST (Kabam Time) Previous Leader boards: Bespin General (Rank #1-5): 6,227,350+ Commander (Ranks 6-100): 4,110,710+ Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 1,055,300+ Mataou General (Rank #1-5): 7,416,300 Commander (Ranks 6-100): 4,118,515 Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 1,023,600 Mataou General (Rank #1-5): 6,516,125+ Commander (Ranks 6-100): 3,509,300+ Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 929,125+
