TT Games designer Mike Consalvey confirms that the new Lego Star Wars game, The Skywalker Saga, will not have any microtransactions. This is big news for gamers interested in playing this new LEGO game, but who are fed up with microtransactions that can really have an impact on the games we play. What will it have instead? A new currency called Kyber Bricks is used in place of the gold bricks that were a staple of every LEGO game that came before. Kyber Bricks are a spin on Star Wars’ Kyber Crystals, which are used to power the Jedi and Sith lightsabers. ” So yeah, with Kyber Bricks, essentially… if you know about the history of LEGO games, in general, we have Gold Bricks. Kyber Bricks is that sort of same collectible; the method of collecting Kyber Bricks is pretty much the same as Gold Bricks. But in this instance, we’re using them to add different…

Jedi Fallen Order: Weekly Recap
I promised to bring you all the news and updates I could find about the new Star Wars game, Jedi: Fallen Order. This past week does not disappoint because there are some goodies to share your way. First, let’s talk about the protagonist. Fallen Order is bringing us Cal Kestis, played my Cameron Monaghan. If you were expecting a female lead, it’s not happening in this one. Reports say that’s actually because of Rey. Apparently, the game’s director Stig Asmussen says Rey is directly the reason they didn’t use a female for the lead role. “We talked about different gender,” Asmussen told Game Informer on its video podcast. “We arrived where we were because at the time, Rey was the thing for Star Wars, and so it made a lot more sense for us to have a male protagonist.” Not sure it makes “a lot more sense” to me. I mean, is…
SWTOR: 6.0 changes for Inquisitor and Warriors to possibly hit PTS next week.
Eric Musco hit the forums yesterday clarifying the games PTS schedule : Let me add some clarity to our PTS schedule and then I can let you know the current plan for getting hands-on with PTS. So, when we initially talked about when PTS would be available I don’t think we framed it very well. When we stated June, we didn’t necessarily mean playable in June, but that would we would be providing you with in-depth information where you could start providing feedback. Throughout the whole PTS process there are going to be two components: Giving you the details on the PTS forum so that you can provide your thoughts and feedback. Placing those same things as playable on PTS to get your hands-on feedback. Obviously we are at step 1 of that process right now but we definitely understand that you are all very eager to get your hands…

Star Wars Fan Film: The Young Jedi
If you’re a regular reader here, you know how I love Star Wars fan films. There’s something really magical about the way a fan community can come together to create beautiful works of art like we often see in these fan films. There are different reasons why people make Star Wars fan films but the love of the franchise is one thing that connects them all. It’s also the great connector that brings all of us, the viewers, in to watch these films as well. Here’s one from back in 2018. but it’s good and worth another watch even if you did see it before. It’s under 5 minutes long so this short is not going to take up your whole day, but you’ll be really impressed by it, I’m sure. It’s a lot of fun to watch and it has great visual effects, which makes sense, as that is…

How Do Fantasy Card Games Like Sabacc Come into Existence?
Fantasy card games are all the rage right now. As technology is allowing for greater possibilities, new ways of playing cards are becoming more abundant. Developers are desperately trying to create the next Hearthstone, but putting a working card game together is harder than you might expect. Sabacc, which was made into an app game in 2015, was conceived decades ago but only recently became well-known thanks to Solo: A Star Wars Story. To anyone interested in starting their own card game, it is wise to look at how some others came into existence. The Star Wars galactic card game Sabacc was mentioned in the 1980 picture, The Empire Strikes Back, when Han Solo says that Lando Calrissian won Cloud City from playing the game. More recently, it came to light that Solo himself had won big in the card game, and it was through playing it that he acquired…

Vader Immortal Arrives on Oculus Rift
Vader Immortal arrives on Oculus Rift, bringing the VR experience to yet another platform, while lightsabers come to Oculus Home. Here, you get to step inside the shoes of a smuggler and also navigate Darth Vader’s fortress. You get your very own droid companion and there are many story-driven elements for you to explore. Here’s a full gameplay video from Star Wars Theory: He’s given us over 44 minutes of gameplay footage in this video. And he has this to say: “This was unimaginable. The gameplay was cool, but the STORY WAS WHAT MADE IT LEGIT. This raises so many theories it’s unbelievable. Who was Vader speaking to? Snoke?” If you like it, please support his channel. More info on how you can support in the description of the video. I do not have Oculus Rift so I was really excited that he did this video for us. Oculus has…
Jedi: Fallen Order Recap Week of 6/26
Is Jedi: Fallen Order the Star Wars game we have all been waiting for? We certainly hope so. It’s definitely the game to follow on the Star Wars scene. We’ve written at length about Star Wars games here – past, present, and future – and one thing I personally hate is all the great Star Wars games that have been canceled over the years. It’s really refreshing to see this one staying alive and actually available to pre-order now. AND it looks like it’s going to be a good game. That’s definitely something to get excited about. So, what new news do we have about Fallen Order so far this week? Well, for one, it’s making waves as one of the most pre-ordered games from E3 (no surprise there, honestly). GameStop announced the top 10 most pre-ordered video games from E3 and Jedi: Fallen Order made #7 on that list. Another reason we…
Star Wars: Battelfront 2 patch notes june 26
Here are the patch notes for tomorrows Game update in Star Wars: Battlefront. DROIDEKAS Arriving this week will be one of the most requested additions to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II, the Droideka. One of the most feared droids finally joins the Separatist army, wielding twin blasters and personal deflector shield generators, making them a formidable foe for anyone that faces off against them in combat. Destructive weaponry and a powerful shield aren’t their only characteristics, as the ability to transform and swiftly relocate has become synonymous with the Droideka. TX-130 The TX-130 will provide the Galactic Republic with an armored fighting vehicle that is both quick and defensive. The speed allows the TX-130 to enter into battle, deal damage, and then make its escape; a great balance between agility and power. NABOO JOINS CAPITAL SUPREMACY This month we’re bringing Capital Supremacy to Naboo. The conflict has spread to the capital…

While I fully expected it to be just another LEGO game… this one looks anything but phoned in. Check out the official announcement trailer here: It’s not a remake or a remaster. It’s not a Star Wars skinned version of another game. Nope. It’s an entirely new, unique game! Imagine that! Seriously, the world of Star Wars games has been looking a bit grim but this is very promising news indeed. What’s it about? Well, it’s a culmination of the entire Skywalker Saga, which means all three Star Wars trilogies (and that’s pretty exciting on its own), and the gameplay has been…

Onslaught: Is It Kill Or Cure?
There aren’t as many people playing SWTOR as there used to be. If you’re still a regular player, you’ll already know that. The game isn’t denying- despite unhelpful articles that refer to the Electronic Arts’ Star Wars’ games as a ‘sinking ship’ – but it’s way past the peak of its popularity. You can see that without even logging into the game to check it out. When the game’s official Twitter account announced that ‘Onslaught,’ the seventh expansion pack, will be released in September 2019, the response was less than enthusiastic. The Tweet failed to reach a thousand likes, had barely over two hundred re-tweets, and a little over one hundred comments. All in all, it doesn’t suggest that there’s a massive base of players out there, waiting to seize on the new content and jump back in. Given the declining numbers, we’re faced with a question. Is ‘Onslaught’ an…
