have there been substantial rumors of 1313 being revived??
I don't know about substantial but I've heard it mentioned before. It does look like it came a long ways only to be canned. There must be a lot to salvage from it. Maybe someone at Disney realized that. Especially as we are heading into a new era of SW and people are going to be hungry for new games, and games of that quality take a long time to make. Isn't it sensible to try to make it work and make something out of all that effort?

wasn't it almost complete? id imagine disney and an EA studio could salvage a lot from what was done.
I've never seen anything that said it was almost finished. If it was then I think we would've had more than just some concept art leak after it was cancelled. That may still happen, but I still think what we saw at its E3 reveal was little more than a tech demo.
Finally finished up the tabletop section, along with some other general cleanup. I'm not as well-versed with the board games so someone let me know if I omitted anything important.
I also started a timer for Star Wars Celebration in mid April. All signs seem to be pointing towards that event for the spring Battlefront reveal. EA likely wants to get Hardline out the door first before starting the Battlefront hype train so I don't expect anything until then.

Fantastic work mate. Well done. The only other big Star Wars game at the moment is Star Wars Armada. It's basically a larger scale version of X-Wing.

It looked like it was probably going to be Star Wars Uncharted. But that would probably be pretty good.
That brings me back. I used to play that back in middle school, mostly just to have a Star Wars thing to do with my friends. I have no idea if that game was actually any good or not. I seem to remember a lot of expansions that added missions and interrupts that existed to only counter specific things in your opponent's deck, so if you didn't know what your opponent had, those seem pretty useless. I do remember going to a local tourney once and getting owned hard by my opponent just deploying a ton of cheap stormtroopers then buffing them with Trooper Assault.
Star Wars Celebration's Exhibitor List got released and Electronic Arts is on it.

Now that the Star Wars spinoff Rogue One has been announced, hopefully it'll inspire them to make another Rogue Squadron game. I really hope these new movies lead to about a billion more SW games.

Battlefront... COULD IT BE??

Makes sense. Surprised nothing has leaked from the Gamestop Battlefront showing yet.

Never noticed this thread, *subbed*
When Star Wars games are good, nothing else even comes close. Even when they are mediocre they are still pretty good.
Really hope there is a new Rogue Squadron-style game for the RogueOne movie next year

This was my first thought. Would love more rogue squadron games.

Can't wait for the new Battlefront. Star Wars FPS is what I need in my life.
Going to be playing some Battlefront 2 in a bit if anyone wants to join in. I'll be in one of the GameMaster lobbies.
Edit: streaming http://www.twitch.tv/jdharbs
Edit 2: Nevermind, no stream. Shadowplay doesn't seem to want to work tonight. Games are still on though.

Any Resogun fans in here? I just created a full set of "10" Star Wars ships and uploaded them to the game last night.

Looking through the first post, I really enjoyed the SuperNES Star Wars games along with the Rogue Squadron series on GC. I've never played any of the Battlefront series, but I'll have to look into those.
Anyone recommend the MMO now that its F2P? I've looked at it many times, being a WoW player, but have never dived in, so to speak.

Nowhere near...
Good luck with that. You're probably better off buying a Wii instead.
I've only played it a little, but everything I hear about it is that it never lived up to the KotOR games that it is based on. Granted, its a different kind of game, and very few ever actually live up to the expectations like it had.
It wasn't for me and a lot of other people, but there are many that enjoy it and none of them would've known that if they hadn't tried it out for themselves. Since its free, I'd say give it a shot. You might like it.
Its definitely sounds likely, especially with the Episode VII hype that would be going on around that time.
I've been playing Empire at War again.
It's pretty alright.
We're never going to get a Star Wars strategy game again are we :\
It will either be free to play garbage or a mod for another game.
A Star Wars RTS 4X hybrid styled after EAW, but running on something similar to the Nitrous engine would be fantastic.

Month old rttp thread sums this up. Play for the story and just try to avoid grinding and f2p antics.
All but confirmed with the lightsaber and landspeeder easter eggs. Devs haven't said anything as far as I know, just been playfully coy.

I was just looking at this game last night. No idea how to play it. Got it in a box of Star Wars stuff off craigslist for $10.
Been playing some missions in X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter and I have to ask, what the fuck is up with capital ships that instantaneously launch adv. missiles at you the moment you target them? I'd just be cycling through crafts on my targeting computer and as soon as it brings up a Mon Cal or Star Destroyer a dozen klicks away, fucking Missile Warning, Press Space to Target. They kill you instantly if they hit you and they deviously fire in pairs. Once you shoot down one, you have to be fast on the I key to target the next or you are dead. What the fuck is up with this?

I haven't got into the Disney Infinity stuff yet but I know my kids would love it. Star Wars might be the tipping point.

I cant answer your question directly but I can say that the older a game is, often the less it gives a fuck about how you complete it.
Not really a star wars fan like others I guess, but I'll just chime in and say that i'm pretty excited for Battlefronts. I think it has potential to be one of, if not the biggest selling game of the year. Because, well, it maybe really good, it's battlefield, or it's star wars. Hopefully in reality it does turn out to be a really good battlefield game based around star wars, lol.
Outstanding work! I'll be using them for sure. That probe droid is particularly badass.
Looking back at that Games of Gen 6 vote, it really goes to show just how good it was to be a Star Wars gamer back then.
Kotor 1 & 2, Rogue Squadron 2 & 3, Battlefront 1 & 2, Lego Star Wars, Republic Commando, Jedi Outcast & Academy, etc. Other greats like Episode I Racer and Trilogy Arcade just barely missed the cut too.
That list is pretty much every great Star Wars game outside of the X-Wing series and Dark Forces. I miss this gen.

The weird thing is that this didn't happen in X-Wing or TIE Fighter, which predate it, nor X-Wing Alliance which came next. It's this weird thing that only happens in this one entry in the middle of the series. Weird.
Battlefront incoming:

Wonder if it's before the Star Wars celebration/conference thing EA is attending.

I wish they had an event schedule like E3 that showed who would be on the stage at what time. Maybe it just hasn't been released yet.

Edit: Updated the OP with today's news.
Cross-posting from the Star Wars OT. Neat animated short based on the TIE Fighter games (or they just reused the logo). Worth a watch.

That inspired me to go pick up TIE Fighter from GOG. The comments in the TIE Fighter page are a bit misleading. They say that the GOG version is not the collector's edition, but specifically they mean the 1995 collector's edition; the 1998 CD-ROM collector's edition is included. Since that was the version I have, and have been wrestling to get to work in Windows 7, I just went a nabbed that.
Completed the first campaign in the Hoth system. There's nothing like coming out of a mission feeling like you nailed it, only to see Secret Objectives: 6 of 10 in the mission debriefing and saying to yourself "There's more?!"
What a fantastic game

Man the Rebels series was making me miss the hell out of Galaxies.
I'd kill for Galaxies 2.

The Battlefront twitter just released the same teaser they released 2 years ago, except with new words at the end.
It will probably be like some PAX event where they drop a trailer on the internet and at the convention and then let people go hands on with it while everyone scrambles to upload video.
Remember what they did last year with Hardline for E3. Kiosks at the event for attendees to try the game out, along with a limited-term surprise beta for the folks at home (on PS4 and PC).
Hoping they do that again.

Well this is my new favorite thread on GAF
I'm fairly certain that it just means Battlefront takes place during that timeline. Before Empire Strikes Back after New Hope.
(Rebels/Clone wars on that list as well which are tv shows)
Which is interesting because rumors had it taking place up to the Force Awakens. Then again, it could just start after New Hope and run up to Force Awakens.

I love Pokken!
A novel with ties to the campaign would be interesting.
I think rumors said it was going to span the entire saga, but I guess those could just be flashbacks/forwards with the main story being set in the same era as the timeline states.

Battlfront trailer premiering at Celebration on Fri, April 17th at 10:30am pacific. Will be on YouTube shortly after.
And starting that Friday, all Celebration attendees will be able to head to their booth during the show to see more gameplay behind closed doors.
Their wording leaves me a little confused. Is the "behind closed doors" gameplay only available around panel-time on Friday, or will it be available for the rest of Celebration as well? I'm there on Thursday and Saturday, but not Friday. Hoping I get to see it on Saturday.

Probably the game I'm the most hyped for this year.
