Why Is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order SO AWESOME?!

Lisa Clark

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is awesome. Seriously. But don’t just take my word for it. You can see what The Act Man has to say about it too. And don’t let that intro fool you – it gets better! In this video, he answers the question, “Why is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order so awesome?” and it’s absolutely worth your time. Honestly, I felt much the same as he did on first impressions. I was sick and tired of the cancellations of Star Wars games and I was looking for something to really blow them all out of the water. Early impressions of Fallen Order didn’t do that. Thankfuly for all of us, they improved upon it. Check out the video (it’s just under 30 minutes) to learn more about this game and why we think it’s pretty darn amazing. The video talks plot, characters, core gameplay and more!…

EA Cancels Open-World Star Wars Game

EA Cancels Open-World Star Wars Game

Lisa Clark

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…

The History of Star Wars: Republic Commando

Lisa Clark

The Collapse Of Visceral’s Ambitious Star Wars Game

Lisa Clark

By now, you probably have already heard that the anticipated game was canceled. It seemed like a winner, a Star Wars take on Uncharted, published by Electronic Arts and developed by the longrunning studio Visceral Games. However, we know how it goes in the land of video games and it’s not unusual for one to get the chopping block, even when it seems it will be a hit. On October 17, 2017, employees of Visceral were told the company would be closing. This meant their ambitious Star Wars game would also get the axe. The project was called Ragtag. It was meant to be EA’s entry into the action-adventure market—a linear Star Wars story set between the episode IV and V movies that would compete with the likes of Uncharted and Tomb Raider. It was lead up by Amy Hennig, iconic writer, and director who is known for her work on the Uncharted games. The team at Visceral worked hard creating…

SWTOR: Trading Scars – A Short Story on Umbara

Soeren Kamper

If there is one thing BioWare does right it’s the story. No other MMORPG has the same depth as Star Wars: The old republic, and the team seams to be determent to keep this up. So with a new game update, comes a new story to explore. Here is a short story on Umbara: Veesh was scaring the rookie again. Nira watched as the Umbaran commando glanced to make sure the train compartment was sealed, then pulled back the edge of his sleeve to reveal a series of ugly welts snaking across his wrist. “Got this escorting a shipment last month. Banshee swooped in out of nowhere, right as we were crossing the canyon.” He smirked, his voice muffled by the visor of his helmet. “Latched onto my wrist long enough for the poison to seep in. The medics say I’m lucky to keep my arm.” Nira noticed the rookie…

Remembering Fallen MMOs: Star Wars Galaxies

Lisa Clark

Did you play Star Wars Galaxies? We’ve talked about it a lot here before because it is still one of the most popular Star Wars games to date. If you missed out on it back then, there’s still a way for you to play it now, which we will add at the end. For now, let’s take a look at all that this video has to show us about SWG. In this video below, The Positive Gamer talks about what made SWG so popular, how it was different from other games when it first came out, and how it differed from other Star Wars games up to that point. There was player-built housing, within player-built cities, and it was an entirely new concept from other games of the type. It didn’t have tons of NPCs to fill roles within the world. Instead, the expansive world of SWG had players fill these roles…

Battlefront II: E3 and EA’s eSports Aspirations

Soeren Kamper

If you were going to speak about the current status of eSports in a language that all Star Wars fans understand, you could perhaps say that the force is strong with this one. Competitive gaming is a fully-blown industry these days, with research suggesting that its revenues will hit $696 million this year and then grow to a massive $1.5 billion by 2020. It may not have yet been totally embraced by the mainstream, but every year eSports edges closer to that level with broadcasters showing major tournaments and the concept genuinely becoming big business. Like more standard sports, there are now thousands of fans attending events in person and millions more watching online, with major tournaments and teams attracting huge sponsorship deals with global brands including Audi and Red Bull. There is now even a burgeoning eSports betting scene, with sites like Bets io offering odds on major ties being played…

Lisa Clark

In this video, you’ll see some great new footage as well as concept art for the game and behind the scenes goodies.

A History of Cancelled Star Wars Games

Lisa Clark

““Star Wars is one of the most popular settings in all of video games, so it’s no surprise that its owners are continually looking to create new bestselling games in the galaxy far, far away. But for every smash-hit like the Jedi Knight series, Battlefront, and Knights of the Old Republic, there are several games that never see the light of day. Games are cancelled for any of a number of reasons. But whether it’s the publisher canning the game late in development or an early concept that never gets fleshed out, it’s always disappointing to see games with huge potential left on the cutting room floor.” How many times have we written about a cancelled Star Wars game here? Even worse is when we tell you about a new game in the making that we’re really excited for, only to find out later, it’s been cut. We hate bringing…

EA GM Gives An Update on Upcoming Visceral and Motive ‘Star Wars’ Video Games

Lisa Clark

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…

Could There Be a Star Wars RTS in the Works?

Lisa Clark

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…

Lisa Clark

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? Here’s exactly what the post has to say about it. “At EA right now, we have multiple studios building a variety of great Star Wars games spanning different genres.

Did You Know Gaming Takes a Look at Cancelled Star Wars Games

Lisa Clark

If you’re a regular reader, you know that we’ve written about cancelled and unreleased Star Wars games quite a bit here. We love Star Wars gaming and do our best to follow the games from idea, to production, to creation, and release, just like we did with SWTOR. With that in mind, we’ve seen many potentially great games just not make it to one stage in the process. Some were put on hold, others cancelled for good. It always hurts a bit to see a potentially great Star Wars game get the axe. Did You Know Gaming has a recent episode on Star Wars games that was released just before Christmas. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s well worth the less-than 10 minutes it will take to give it a watch because they have some things to say about these cancelled Star Wars Games, as well as facts on…

3 Marvel/Star Wars Crossovers We’d Like To See

Soeren Kamper

Now that Disney owns everything (or at least, Marvel and Star Wars), we’ve already seen a lot of changes for some of our favourite entertainment franchises. The most noteworthy of these changes is of course the forthcoming third Star Wars trilogy. However, we’re also seeing Star Wars spin-off films, new Marvel TV shows, and all kinds of spin-offs, side projects, and novelisations that weren’t around before. What we haven’t seen much of yet is crossovers between Marvel and Star Wars, arguably the two most significant branches of Disney’s modern entertainment empire. So here are a few ideas in that category that we think it would be fun to see, starting with gaming concepts. A Crossover Video Game The first idea that comes to mind in this regard would be a fighter series; first because these games are almost impossible not to enjoy and second because they’re probably the easiest ones…

Fanmade ‘Star Wars’ Oculus Rift Game Trailer

Soeren Kamper

A company named Hammerhead VR has created a trailer for Star Wars VR, a game made for the Oculus Rift. Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset that is going to change the way we play video games in the future. The trailer was made with the Unreal Engine 4 and it looks great, even though it’s not the most complex footage ever made. The first-person Star Wars experience is really what shines in this cool project. No matter if you are going up against Darth Vader in the carbon freezing chamber or leading the battle on the first Death Star, experiencing the excitement and action of Star Wars in a virtual reality environment would be amazing. The trailer does not show much activity with the characters but it was probably difficult to make the trailer with moving ships and environments while not having to worry about populating the game…

‘Star Wars: Infinity’ to match tone of ‘Episode 7’

Editor

The news of Star Wars: Infinity was not much of a surprise to many people in the video gaming world. Disney has a long history of adding relevant new characters to their Infinity franchise and with the release of the new Star Wars film this year, this news didn’t come as a surprise. The journey to creating the new game meant that Disney Interactive had to work closely with Lucasfilm to create something that would please Star Wars fans. Both Lucasfilm and Disney have stated that the collaboration has went smoothly so far but having to find common ground is sometimes difficult. One challenge was the release of the trailer back on May 5th. “We didn’t know, on the Infinity team, what the tone of Episode Seven is, so when we went through and were doing [the trailer for the game], the tone was really off,” says John Blackburn, senior…
