So a handful of games? You can only make so many in 10 years, it isn't really that long term.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

George Lucas is rolling in his fucking grave.

Damn EA.

 

[lensoftruth]

God help us - 10 years of fantastic menus with utterly awful games, ea need to die in a fire

 

[Mario007]

Get ready for those f2p and iOS titles everybody!

 

[SRTtoZ]

Bring back 1313

 

[antitrop]

Ten more years of shitty star wars games.

Can't possibly be worse than The Force Unleashed 2.

 

[CountAntonius]

Good night, sweet prince.

 

[Eusis]

Bring back 1313

I'd rather see the game they wanted to make brought back, the end result just looked like it was going to end up being Uncharted Star Wars.

 

[SonnyBoy]

I really wish EA knew how we feel about them. Well, I take that back. They do, they dont care. lol

 

[MaximoffZero]

Han Solo: Well that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you...10,000, all in advance.

Luke Skywalker: 10,000!? We could almost buy our own ship for that!

Han Solo: ...How 'bout 60 then the rest in microtransactions?

 

[Branduil]

Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I can only imagine how buggy Battlefront 3 will be since DICE games seem to get buggier everytime.

 

[Xamdou]

KOTOR 3 is all I want, make a direct sequel from the first and completely disregard the second.

 

[antitrop]

EA is not my cup of tea, but people who are arguing that we are somehow going to get WORSE Star Wars games than what we have been subjected to the past decade need pass what ever the fuck they are smoking.

Star Wars 1313 was probably going to look great and play like shit.

 

[Lautaro]

So... ten Battlefronts then?

 

[lensoftruth]

Good night, sweet prince.

Available on the Mac App Store

 

[Nokterian]

Star Wars 1313 was probably going to look great and play like shit.

I feel a Crytek level of vibe here and your probably right.

 

[Cels]

is this real life

 

[kyser73]

Should I just buy a GameCube for my SW videogaming fun?

 

[Dictator93]

Han Solo: Well that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you...10,000, all in advance.

Luke Skywalker: 10,000!? We could almost buy our own ship for that!

Han Solo: ...How 'bout 60 then the rest in microtransactions?

BTW, I am not sure why anyone here still clamours for starwars universe stuff.
The universe jumped the shark somewhere in the mid 90s.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I want a offline RPG from them. I know Bioware isn't trustworthy anymore but they might make something passable if they keep the turn-based elements in.

 

[prag16]

I have a bad feeling about this.

.

 

[Naminator]

Bring back 1313

They are bringing back 1313.

Visceral Games took it over, and since they were shit at survival horror, this looks like it's right up their alley.

 

[antitrop]

It's so bad I actually like it now, because I know that watching the vid on YT will make me laugh every time.

Once you've reached "Acceptance", it's just hilarious.

 

[Prevolition]

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Brilliant.

 

[Cyborg]

R.I.P.

 

[wanders]

There goes my dream of a Platinum developed light saber action game akin to Metal Gear Rising. Kamiya wanted to do Star Fox; this would have been perfect.

 

[EatChildren]

What a travesty given all the incredible current generation Star Wars game we got from all those other publishers.

[Taker34]

It's ok. The quality of recent Star Wars games wasn't exactly impressive, so we might get better titles from now on. BioWare made excellent Star Wars games, DICE made good games and was the inspiration for Battlefront, so why not?

 

[zma1013]

Behold the power of the dark side.

 

[speculawyer]

Hey Star Wars fans, this is your future.

 

[Totobeni]

but EA don't even know how to handle their own IPs. man Disney really don't care about games. oh well.

 

[Drencrom]

I'm picking up my blaster,
put it on my side.
I'm jumpin' in my Falcon,
Wookie at my side.

I'm solo, I'm Han Solo,
I'm Han Solo.
I'm Han Solo. Solo.

 

[CountAntonius]

What a travesty given all the incredible current generation Star Wars game we got from all those other publishers.

Yeah I think Dice's battlefront will be the best star wars related game in many many years, even if it turns out to just be Battlefield: Star Wars. Lucas Arts did absolutely worth any merit with this franchise in this gen.

 

[panty]

Looks like a decade without Star Wars games for me.

Should've been the first post.

 

[Heshinsi]

As if Disney isn't going to milk Star Wars themselves?

Disney is competent, and have proved they know what they're doing with massive franchises, see Marvel. EA on the other hand are the biggest hack artists in the industry. If you want something half baked, over managed, continuously rehashed, micro-transaction to the gill; while EA is the perfect company for it.

 

[Shaanyboi]

10 years of no Star Wars games on Nintendo platforms.

 

[Alienous]

Will EA respect the quality of the games, the legacy of the brand, and make 3 games in that time period?

Nope, we'll probably be seeing at least 10 games.

 

[Talon]

God damn it.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Shit publisher grabbed shit franchise. Could be worse.

 

[crozier]

I must be in the minority, but I literally can't think of a publisher I'd trust with the Star Wars license more than EA. Battlefront is going to blow our socks off.

when it's about video games Disney is incompetent as fuck. Killing studios and near completed games and relesing horrible games and clones, and Marvel games and licensed mess is ...well a mess and they still didn't fixed it of give Marvel ip to good studios.

Now awful Disney put their games in the hand of yet another awful company that don't know how to handle their series (Killed Dead Space and Medal of Honor, turned Mass Effect and Dragon Age to crap..ect) this combination is just a disaster.

 

[Dan]

I haven't purchased a Star Wars game since the Gamecube launch. At this point, I'm willing to give EA a chance at maybe, just maybe, creating something I'd want to buy.

I still want Mirror's Edge game on Coruscant where you can use Force powers. Make it happen.

 

[Ark]

Didn't EA say at E3 that they wanted Battlefront on the three year cycle along with Battlefield and Titanfall? I thought I remember them saying to expect a sequel to those titles once every 3 years.

Three years sounds like the right amount of development time. Better than the two-years DICE has on Battlefield right now.

 

[pretty done]

Shit publisher grabbed shit franchise. Could be worse.

What a hilarious avatar to make a comment like this.

Anyways Battlefront can't come soon enough. I don't have any hope for any other EA SW game.

 

[Dysun]

EA is way better than Activision or SEGA, I'm happy with them getting the license long term. Look at Spider-Man, Iron Man, Aliens etc games if you want to see true licensed IP shit

 

[I Stalk Alone]

That's like what, 10 cancelled games? good deal.

 

[speculawyer]

Wow. Well, I guess we'll be seeing more of this because they are gonna use that Kinnect on the xbox One.

 

[Cess007]

Hey EA, eh.... can we get another SW: Dark Forces? Please? ?
