Oh god, a spiritual successor to Republic Commando?
Don't play with my heart.
Don't play with my heart.
EA: "Hey, Lucasfilm. We're going to use the Star Wars name and not use the iconic typeface you've used for the past 40 years. We're just gonna use a Republic Commando font we downloaded from the internet."
Lucasfilm: "Oh, sure. Go ahead. Branding is meant to be played with willy nilly."

Even setting aside the NX comment (although we shouldn't, because the idea that EA's actively planning meaningful support for an FPS game on a Nintendo console this far out is absolutely laughable), the whole thing sounds like a wishlist of a game, rather than anything that EA would have any interest in making at this point in time.

This is fake as shit, I will eat 3 course crow meal if it's even remotely close to anything resembling a relation of the truth.
The post also refers to Amy's game as an RPG.

Last I heard Nintendo hadn't sent any NX dev kits out to western publishers/developers, so I'd be extremely surprised if any currently in development titles were already planned for it, especially with all the problems and poor relationships between Nintendo and third parties still haven't seemed to have been fixed.
In other words: utter bollocks.

WOA more than 20+ hours? That's F*CKING HUGE!
Some people in the reddit thread make some good points. This game would have to be a sequel to a game which is non-canonical, and the story of Republic Commando was wrapped up in a comic not that long ago. So maybe, just maybe, you might want to take this with a pinch of salt.
Also NX haha

NX? Lol, the partnership is so unprecedented, that it doesn't even exist, so obviously fake.
Lucasfilm?

I mean the EA logo is the dead giveaway as well since they haven't used that logo since ps2 days

Sure why not, about time we started a hype train for 2016. Also whether is true or not I find it hard to believe EA won't release a yearly Star Wars game specially along side yearly films.
It's a coop game. It still is multiplayer. *shrugs*
I find it more suspicious that EA has forgiven Nintendo and will support the NX.
They didn't even support the 3DS after they also ended support with the Wii U. Let that sink in. On a platform that their games were already selling fine EA decided to stop supporting that platform because of whatever happened to cause them to stop supporting the Wii U.
Nintendo accidentally salted the earth with EA.

Lucasfilm is still the studio within Disney that's in charge of Star Wars, much the way that Marvel is it's own thing. If that's what you were questioning?

Sounds leg... oh, NX? Sounds suspicious but why not, after all it's Nintendo next con... what, a Star Wars logo without the iconic font? Bullshit.
Yeah, it's the production company founded by George Lucas in 1971. It makes Star Wars films. Disney bought the company in 2012. Here's a link to their website: http://lucasfilm.com/

I love the "141 days" countdown though.

This is either the most fake shit ever, or going to end up being the biggest amount of crow ever devoured by gaming internet culture

I WOULD buy a RC sequel instantly though.

Electronic Arts is done with Nintendo. No way this title appears on any future platform of theirs.
If the NX can run the game with not much problem I don't see why they wouldn't release it on it.

That's the worst part about it, it's a sequel we have all been crying out for for a decade, it makes so much sense. This is why it's so obviously fake (among the other obvious reasons).

This seems suuuper fake. Sounds like some random reddit user describing what they think would be a fun Star Wars game. Reddit is the last place I would expect any legitimate information to come from.
