Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Official Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter cdm00
- Start date
Given that Dark Souls is one of my favorate games of all time, I honestly thought the star wars gameplay looked great.
Imagine a deflect button that twirls your lightsaber to meet any laser blasts headed your way in a completely organic way using the new motion mapping style animation they're using in TLOU2. That would look cool as fuck. Everything about this game just feels like they're living in the past in every sense. Such boring game design that makes Star Wars seem really dull.
Doesn't look horrible, but it looks pretty basic. Combat looks pretty mindless, hopefully the ease of difficulty is just for demo purposes. It looks like it could provide a couple days of fun, i.e. rental status. Most games I buy these days it feels like it takes me weeks to get through as I can really sink my teeth into them, this doesn't quite give that feeling.
At least people in YouTube comments seem to be ecstatic about this. Despite those with higher expectations wanting something deeper I'm sure this will sell well unless there is some huge headline stirring problem with the game.

That would be a very jedi thing to do actually...
There's literally only one game, LITERALLY, one game that has motion matching.
It looked alright. Seems to be taking ideas from God of War for the combat, which is good. The traversal felt very linear, but I bet there will be secrets and more exploratory elements they didn't show because it wouldn't look exciting on video. It was alright - the little robot was the star.
yeah, a lunge stab, or lunge into animation would probably feel better
like it was said earlier, maybe you can upgrade combos and stuff to make it even faster/smoother
Joining the chorus here to say that none of it looked inspired. It's "fine" at best.
Of course, this is just pre-alpha, so I'm not totally gonna write it off. Final product could be much better, and maybe actually playing it yourself feels as satisfying as Respawn says.
Just wasn't excited about anything they showed in that demo.

Painfully bland with impactless combat and clunky animations. I thought I was taking crazy pills while watching the gameplay demo. I feel vindicated reading this thread.
Kind of mixed on what I'm seeing though I'm only half way through the video. Very obvious cinematic style platformer action gameplay but certain aspects like the animations seem very really loose and floaty. Not bad but with the fidelity on a lot of the other aspects it makes that stuff stand out especially during combat and platforming but this is stuff they'll probably clean up as they go. The one thing that stood out to me at random is that it appears like the enemies and even their attacks are in slow mo. The storm troopers are shooting laser blasts at our protag and they look like they're moving through molasses which is made even more obvious when the game actually slows down time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I actually like that aspect of it too, not to mention since I was looking forward to Hennig's game.
Some of the animation is stiffer than I'd like (meanwhile some is pretty good) but I thought it looked quite decent. A bit surprised they didn't really show a "wow moment" in this first demo, but I thought it looked pretty cool.
Yeah. Plus then on top of that if it really does have some wider exploration to it.
How is it possible for the enemies there, especially at the gate, to not notice him? They are literally standing viewing the direction he is in.
Looked somewhat impressive, very solid graphics - I'd prefer this over a titanfall-esqe fps. Biggest problem is the IP has been overused to the ground by Disney - so I'm not really interested in the story. Forest whitaker's inclusion was nice - but they need to have better closeups and detail to exploit his presence and acting. As other's mentioned the AI looked a little weak. The bar for 'single player cinematic adventure' is very high seems to be their biggest problem. I think at this point the IP is really not very strong the only games that would open to excitement here would be tie fighter/xwing games (with vr support) and KOTOR sequels.
All I'm saying is, I don't blame developers for being dishonest after this. I don't discount anyone's opinion. You seem level headed, what I'm saying is coming from some of the crazy things said in the other thread.
It sucks when a developer decides to be honest, and then gets shitted on for the "horrible graphics".
Honestly I'm not seeing what is all that wrong about the animations and the combat looks great, but I do hope this is set to easy because it didn't look all that challenging. I also wonder if it's constantly this linear or if there will be some more open areas too.
I agree with others that it's a shame dismemberment is not in, come on Respawn, why? So that youngsters can play it? It does seem that The Force Unleashed seems more "loose" when it comes to using the powers and such?

?? What do you mean?
Me too lol. I just hope that the game is a bit more challenging, but they also did say the player was quite skilled.
Stormtroopers have terrible vision. It's in the employment guide.
And I thought that I am the only one that I found it a bit outdated (gameplay wise, graphics are really good in my opinion).
Looks good to me.
Star Wars x Uncharted x Quantum Break x 1313.
Knew there would be a ton of "generic" comments in this thread despite the forum always asking for a return to more linear experiences and Respawn having just come off two very good games (TF2 / Apex).

Alpha just means that you can play the game from start to finish. Demos shown at conferences or events aren't the final build or even the build that they have at the studio.
Why are people saying it's too early to show this stuff? The game is out in five months. A YEAR before release, Naughty Dog (Bruce Straley, I think) played this demo at E3, live. It even froze and had to restart!
And it looked amazing to just about everyone.

Okay bud, I'll let you enjoy the bullshit trailers at e3 only for you to be disappointed at release.
Titanfall 2
Battlefield 1
Battlefield 4
The Sims 4
PvZ: GW and GW2
I liked it looks pretty cool. I guess I get that it looks like generic Star Wars and the main character seems a little bland but whatever been awhile since we've gotten a AAA single player Star Wars.
My dream is if you crank up the difficulty it will feel a bit more souls like but won't hold my breath.

We've been getting "raw" gameplay for years now. This isn't new. And there's no guarantee that the visuals won't be downgraded. It may not have been "overly" choreographed, but it was still obviously staged and rehearsed.
this looks fucking terrible lmfao, just incredibly boring to watch and probably to play
AI is dumb as shit. Zero reaction to what the main character is doing. The 3 troopers trying to shoot the guy without any one of them moving was awful.
How about when he forces pushes that big pipe to make a bridge? 4 troopers 30 feet ahead didn't hear or see that? Come on...
The health bar is also redundant if your little droid companion changes color as you take damage. Take it out.

what do you mean what do I mean? actual alpha gameplay wouldn't have 99% of its assets complete
How can you tell that this one gameplay sequence isn't a polished portion of an alpha build?
I wasn't all that excited by the reveal trailer, but this is looking pretty cool (apart from some stiff animations).
Titanfall 2 is GOTG so far.

My theory is the on foot combat looks less spectacular than it could be so that the set pieces or faster chapters offer a greater contrast
Looks great. Given Respawn's pedigree, I'm going to stay on the side of positive optimism for it. I'm hoping combat on higher difficulties (or later in the game) gets very souls-ish in terms of fights requiring more strategy. The power toolkit looks like as it expands it'll be fun to find ways to really use it in combat.
Maybe because creating these demo is extremely hard and ND is one of the best in the world in this aspect?
Did you watch the Gow documentary? The explain that they spent months doing the E3 demo.
So two. Two games. Out of how many games released each year? We should absolutely not be expecting motion matching to be the norm anytime soon.
