Playable cinematic cutsceens could mean WiiU tablet..

[wowzors]

Doesnt sound that bad honestly. I was hoping for a Bounty Hunter 2, and this is......sort of....it? I dont know if they do it right (they wont) I am imagining as stated earlier and open world Batman Arkham City game with Uncharted like visuals and cinematics and perhaps GOW like QTE's.

The unnamed scrub bounty hunter though, that was a fuck up.

[Hari Seldon]

Total, and complete meh. I mean god damn. Generic game #34234234 with a star wars skin. God damn.

[Vinci]

Whoever wrote that announcement should be shot for hitting the 'punchy language' threshhold.

[Neuromancer]

Holy shit

[Floex]

Playable cinematic cutsceens could mean WiiU tablet..

It means QTE

[Deadly Cyclone]

Huh, not sure all the hate in here, this sounds awesome to me. Great concept (albeit too many marketing buzz words).

Can't wait to hear/see more.

[ForsakenBaykon]

Huh, not sure all the hate in here, this sounds awesome to me. Great concept (albeit too many marketing buzz words). Can't wait to hear/see more.

same here. i'm cautiously optimistic.

[Fabrik]

I secretly hope this game turns out to be awesome: critically and commercially a massive hit. Because re-reading this thread in a few years would be fucking delicious.

I would like the game to be awesome but LucasArts doesn't deserve any trust. They simply just suck. What a waste of infinite potential.

[Confidence Man]

Wow, they actually say "high-octane". But yeah, sounds like the most generic shit ever, Uncharted with a SW skin.

[Pennybags]

I'm not typically that optimistic, but I think this could be pretty neat.

[Mlatador]

Shut up!!!! You already had me at "playable cinematic gameplay"...


NOT!

[Trigger]

I'd need to see more to be excited. I'm not here for another 3rd person shooter with chest high cover, but it's possible to use the Star Wars license to give the game more life.

[Sinatar]

Oh boy another autogame for tards. Hoo. Ray.

[BobTheFork]

Desperatley telling people how amazing this is already feels like a coffin nail. It's it's really any of these things people will get it as soon as they get some exposure to it.

[zedge]

New BattleFront or go home..

Lame.

[Speedymanic]

I would like the game to be awesome but LucasArts doesn't deserve any trust. They simply just suck. What a waste of infinite potential.

Hey now, FU1 was very good and the DLC for both FU1 and FU2 was amaze. Would love a full game based on the alt universe where Luke turns to the dark side.

[massoluk]

Damn. You made PR sounds like a parody.

[Kunan]

Funnily enough, I'm most interested because you aren't a Jedi lol. That shit is so overdone.

[AkuMifune]

Looks kinda interesting... am I allowed to be a bit excited, or should I shit all over it too?

[Grover Cleveland]

Wow, so much cynicism in this thread.

I think it's an interesting concept, pretty new to the Star Wars gaming universe, and could be spectacular if done right.

I'll reserve calling this game shit until I actually see in-game footage.

[Fabrik]

Looks kinda interesting... am I allowed to be a bit excited, or should I shit all over it too?

I dare you to post a different opinion than us!

pretty new to the Star Wars gaming universe

There's always newcomers to be fooled again. It's an endless cycle.

[DimmuBurgerKing]

...Why are people hating on this? As much as I was hoping for a new Rogue Squadron style dogfighting game, I like what I see so far. A new single-player Star Wars game where I wield a blaster instead of a lightsaber. Sounds good to me!

[jet1911]

"playable cinematic gameplay"? this term is gold. lol

"Let's not call them QTE anymore, they'll never notice!"

[GillianSeed79]

This is not the game we're looking for.

This got me. Meh kind of sums up my reaction to this until I see gameplay footage. Lucasarts already has done the impossible in the past - make a Bobba Fett bounty hunter game boring - so I'm not super hyped.

Also, a Star Wars game set underground and not in space with shooting and no Force powers? Ballsy. The dumb, reckless disregard for possible massive layoffs if the game bombs kind of ballsy, but ballsy none the less.

[MechaX]

Jesus, people here are cynical as fuck. At least this game sounds a bit more ambitious than Star Wars Kinect or whatever.

Are you seriously surprised that people would be naturally skeptical about this game after the string of mediocre Lucasarts titles like the Force Unleashed games, Kinect, The Clone Wars games, the Bounty Hunter games, and so on so forth that they have released in the past decade? Personally, I have went through this song and dance of "let's remain positive!" for the Force Unleashed titles and that didn't really pan out well. Both times. So Lucasarts is going to have to do more than show a little concept art or PR-laden descriptors to truly get me interested.

[kodt]

Well the overall setting sounds interesting. It has potential. I will reserve judgement until we see more, including some game-play.

This is better than Force Unleashed 3. If only DICE would release mod tools for BF3 we wouldn't need Battlefront 3.

[Kem0sabe]

Lego Star Wars was the chiznit...

A tps cover shooter that's epic and a visceral thrill ride.

Just sounds mighty lame and PR'ish to me. I'm actually getting pretty sick of all that bullshit.

[witness]

So much anger and hate, but then again this is a thread about Star Wars....

Anyway, I'm optimistic. I just want a really good Star Wars game. Ready for that gameplay trailer.

[Grover Cleveland]

There's always newcomers to be fooled again. It's an endless cycle.

What?

I've played (and been severely disappointed by) plenty of Lucasarts' efforts in the past. And I recognize that the reputation of the company is in the dumps at the moment. I'm just not willing to write a game off as a total failure-to-be just because of a lame five-minute intro and a silly press release.

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'm not typically that optimistic, but I think this could be pretty neat.

I'm with you. I'm getting a Bladerunner meets Star Wars vibe here and I like it.

[JohnTinker]

Looks great!

Sounds terrible!

Like a bunch of suits made the design decisions.

[Forsaken82]

If it was open world, they would've mentioned it. Bummer.

Or they are waiting till E3 to unveil the entire game?

[Foffy]

Wasn't The Force Unleashed supposed to deliver on this front when that had a big reveal.

A lot of good that was...

[TheLegendOfMart]

No wonder games tank, people aren't willing to give them a chance, as soon as they are announced all you asshats start ragging on it.

I hope this game is good just so I can see you all eat your words.

[Confidence Man]

High-octane thrill ride. The connection between player and game is visceral. Makes a big difference.

Interest peaked, more please

[MechaX]

Shouldn't your priority be to hope the game is good so that you'll be able to play a good Star Wars game as opposed to "you'll rue the day you dared to doubt a game's quality based on a developer's past reputation for disappointment!!"?

[Prophet Steve]

Interest peaked, more please

Well, at least marketing terms still work on someone.

[Kem0sabe]

Games tank when they don´t sell enough to make a profit. What exactly are you proposing?

1. We stop any negative commenting in the hope that the positive community feedback will inspire the devs to make an awesome game.

2. We buy the game in the hope that it´s good, because... there´s such a strong positive hype surrounding it.

3. If the game is bad, then we can all come and diss it on GAF

Or...

1. We voice our opinions, based on years of shitty LA games.

2. We wait for reviews, if they are positive, we buy it (you just have to click the ign add to buy it online, so it´s simple enough), if the reviews are shit (you will notice it because the review site doesn´t have ads) we don´t buy it.

3. If we buy the game and it´s awesome, we can go online on GAF and force feed a bunch of hats. If we buy the game and it´s shit, we can all say "i told you so".

Marketing Buzz Words: The Video Game

My thoughts exactly.

[Derrick01]

Despite the shitty PR and what little they've shown that looks kinda bad, I'm going to choose to believe it will be great for some reason. Can't wait to post all my eatcrow pics I have saved!!!

;p

[BobTheFork]

If you think the games tank because people talk shit you are kidding yourself. They have made really poor games, and it seems to lead to spouting a ton of bullshit buzzwords about how great it is before any gets a good look at it.

[MMaRsu]

Yea we must eat up all new games that are announced! Especially highly original games like 1313!

[Vyse The Legend]

So much anger and hate, but then again this is a thread about Star Wars.... Anyway, I'm optimistic. I just want a really good Star Wars game. Ready for that gameplay trailer.

Based on what exactly? PR jargon?

If anything, "internally developed" by LucasArts screams shovelware.

[BattleMonkey]

People jumping to so many conclusions

[TheDanger]

A Star Was game without light sabers or the force ?

I don't think this can be appealing to SW fans it isn't to me anyway.

Maybe if it wasn't a SW game.

[chiablo]

I just want an updated X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter... without the prequel nonsense. Why do they insist on making garbage aimed at babbys?
