EA is a terrible company. I'll never forgive LucasArts for selling exclusivity to them.
This is all speculation of course but I would expect that from a legal point of view, EA is free to ask Bethesda to make a Star Wars open world RPG. EA would have to publish it though.

To add to this, big game publishers prefer to use their own IPs for AAA games so Disney may not have as many potential partners as we think.Disney did. This is important. Disney also stopped with their own studios for a similar reason. These big companies do not want to deal with a lot of small companies. So they make big contracts to a single party.
Give Star Trek to Hennig, ffs.
Or... or Farscape.
Titanfall 2I can't remember the last good single player game EA released. They don't have too much experience making them
EA having the license to Star Wars fucking sucks. Out of the big third party publishers, I'd rather wish Ubisoft had gotten it.
God. What a shitty time to be a SW fans in gaming.

Na, EA has still a lot of talented studios who can do some good stuff with the franchise.
If you give the license to Ubisoft you will end with AC or FC star wars.
This so much. Ubisoft would have made a damn fine Star Wars game in great time too. Say what you want about them, but they're games are solid fun games.

And with EA you get Battlefront.
Sorry. Currently the thought of something like Rainbow Six: Siege reskinned with Storm Troopers alone is more enticing than anything EA is cooking up. Let alone SW games in all the genres Ubisoft already makes.
Which is much more than what EA has put out or will put out. And of better quality too.
We really dont know what EA is cooking up, without talking about Battlefront.
Jade Raymon with Motive is doing a sw game, Respawn is Obviously doing an action game sword based with Stig.
No thanks, i played enough reskinned games from Ubi.

You think there's a lot of reskinned games where as I'm looking from a potential perspective of genres that Ubisoft has tackled (also isn't battlefront just a reskinned battlefield?)
It's also not as if EA is the only one that pumps out hugely successful games. Siege and For Honor are two of the biggest successes this generation sales wise and if we are talking long term engagement, EA has got absolutely nothing on the caliber of Siege.
And those two games are ones whose style would be extemely appropriate for a SW game. For Honor with lightstaber esque combat and Siege could essentially be a spirtual successor to Republic Commando but with a competitive MP mode.
And I'm not saying, hey reskin those. But that Ubisost has experience in a variety of genres that naturally fit Star Wars is more enticing of a prospect then, Battlefield clone and a cancelled Visceral game. At this point the Respawn title garners excitement but we know nothing about it.
I didn't play it but okTitanfall 2
Lol, good one.Why? So it can be an open world game where you climb towers to reveal the next part of the galaxy?
At least with EA it had a chance to be something different. With Ubisoft it would be Assassin's Creed: Star Wars.
Titanfall 2
There's nothing to infer it was a good game either. A 10 second teaser shot ain't shit, really.
I'd say EA is trying to avoid another Mass Effect: Andomeda situation.
EA is a terrible company. I'll never forgive LucasArts for selling exclusivity to them.
Assassin's Creed: Star Wars doesn't sound so bad, if you get to play as an Inquisitor (who's maybe trying to redeem him/herself) it might even be extremely interesting in that regard.
I mean, I'd also be okay with a Jedi-game in that mold.

That reads frighteningly close to the claims made about Uncharter 4 under Hennig as well. What... happened?

I just can't understand for my life how the team that created the Dead Space trilogy and one of the key minds behind the Legacy of Kain and Uncharted sagas could have three years and mess a linear SP action adventure game. I know the realities of game development are hard but all I can think of is heavy interference from the Publisher.
Take a page out of Black Flag and let me be a smuggler/bounty hunter/freight hauler with my own ship, crew and flight plan.
Star Wars: Scoundrel
With Episode VIII upcoming we already halfway through the planned movie cycle of Star Wars and all EA was able to produce so far is friggin Battlefront. Not only that, we haven't even really seen any proper footage from any other game so far. How poor is that? EA must have the worst management on the planet.Obviously i'm not putting Battlefront as a good example, because it's indeed a reskinned Battlefield, at least for the 2015 entry.
EA games got a high value to the mainstream market, more than Ubisoft when it comes to specific videogame genres. A possibile RPG SW game made by BioWare for example will have a better appeal than an RPG game made by Ubisoft. Same for Respawn and Stig.
The problem i have with Ubisoft is their game design when it comes to single player games, their open world design in structure bothers me a lot, and i used to be an Assassin's Creed fan. Siege is indeed a good game, but as an old rainbow six player, i can't fit Siege in the "Rainbow Six" that i used to know for so many years, same for Wildlands.
EA has the money and the talent for the Star Wars universe, they just need to get their shit together and i'm pretty sure they will deliver some good games.
Still waiting for that RPG SW and i hope we will see it soon than later.

This post literally crushed me...as a big Hennig fan and a massive Star Wars fan, I cry like the frenchman at the start of the occupation.
