Few things give me as much joy as going back and replaying an old game that I loved back in the day, or as a child. There’s something nostalgic about it, of course, but there’s also a fun element to gaming nostalgia, in particular. Seeing how a game you loved from the past matches up to the current gaming trends and technology, for example. Or seeing how storytelling and other elements have changed or progressed over the years. While many games have gotten fancier and with more bells and whistles, story from older games most often still wins out. A recent post on StarWars.com talks about one of my favorite Star Wars games, Galactic Battlegrounds and gives it a full revisit. It’s part of their Replaying the Classics column which revisits great Star Wars games of the past, explains why they love them, and also how they stand the test…

Troubling Times for EA Star Wars Games
We’ve written quite a bit here about the rise and fall of so many Star Wars games. In recent years, this has always included talk of Electronic Arts. That’s because EA are the only ones who can make Star Wars games, at least for now. On May 6, 2013, Disney and Electronic Arts announced that the two companies had signed a ten-year deal to make Star Wars games. This would be a deal that many would later question, as it doesn’t seem to be working out for either party as well as they had hoped. It’s certainly not working out for the fans the way that we had hoped. Kotaku recently published a piece that talks about this exact problem – EA’s Troubled Decade of Star Wars Games. Here’s part of what they had to say: ““Back in 2013, Star Wars was in a rough place. The most recent movie had been 2005’s Revenge of…
EA Cancels Open-World Star Wars Game
And another one bites the dust! Sad news in the land of Star Wars games as another one has been officially cancelled. This is so frustrating, from someone who love Star Wars games and loves bringing you news and updates about new games. It seems every time we start to get excited about a potential game in the works, we get the inevitable news that it will be cancelled. It’s practically a pattern at this point! The latest victim of this trend is Electronic Arts’ open-world Star Wars games that was in process. The project was code-named Orca, according to info released by people close to EA’s Vancouver projects. It was very early in development but would involve playing as a scoundrel or bounty hunter who could explore various open-world planets and work with different factions across the Star Wars universe. Little more was known about it since it was not publicly…
Series of EA Project Cancellations Leaves Gamers Fuming as it Under Delivers on Disney’s Star Wars Gaming Franchise
In the latest breaking news involving EA, the company failed to dispel strong rumours from reputable sources, rumours which proclaimed the cancellation of the promised, long awaited and much anticipated, future release of the next single player title meant to continue the massively popular Star Wars saga. Initially developed under the codename Ragtag which aimed at creating a linear gameplay adventure. However, a mid-2017 reimagining refocused the teams to instead develop an open world environment re-focused on delivering a broader player experience. Ironically this mid-2017 reimagining seemingly is possibly also the reason for the project’s death, since developing “a broader experience” would apparently have required too long a build period, driving costs up. The most common fan response to that would be somewhere along the lines of “come-on EA, Bethesda managed to create just such a series of open world games with each episode of The Elder Scrolls series and…
EA Scraps Unnamed Star Wars
Electronic Arts recently announced their intention to cancel the as yet unnamed Star Wars open world game project initially started by Visceral Games in 2013 prior to the studio’s final closure, the project also received a major overhaul during 2017. When contacted for a commentary the EA spokesperson failed to provide an outright confirmation of the cancellation of the project, which was under development in EA’s Vancouver studio. Instead, the spokesperson issued a noncommittal statement regarding the game’s current and future development. The spokesperson went on to praise the work done by their Vancouver team further stating the team’s work continues and would evolve into possible future Star Wars games and content. He also said they were fully committed to creating additional Star Wars games and that they were extremely excited about Respawn’s new release Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, inferring they would share more about their new projects when…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: C-3PO, Finn, and Phase 3 of the Sith Raid
There is currently a bug in phase 3 of the Sith Raid with Finn and C-3PO. The developers are gonna fix it next year when they figure out whether Finn lead or Traya tenacity is the thing to change: It’s come to our attention that there is an unintended strategy/interaction involving Finn(Leader – Zeta), C-3PO, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and BB-8 that allows players to auto Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate (Heroic). As we’ve indicated in previous updates, “when we discover an infinite loop that allows players to trivialize end game content, we try to act as swiftly as possible.” Learning from the issues with our Critolyte fix, we’re going to wait until the new year before we address this issue. We want to make sure we have the time to work through all ramifications of this change before we put it into the game. C-3PO was an interesting character to…
