Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Official Gameplay Demo
- Thread starter cdm00
- Start date
Animations look really stiff. Like you can see one stopping and feeding awkwardly into the next.
It's Forest Whitaker, but the in-game model didn't look like it had 100% detail yet.It's also between Clone wars and whatever he became in Rogue One.
This is like the EXACT opposite spectrum of the force unleashed, because it actually feels like SW:
vs.
Not bad but it doesn't look very interesting. Maybe the skill points will offer some cool shit. Also doesn't help they demo'ed Storm Trooper fodder and fucking big spiders! Animations aren't looking to hot either. His run and double jump look stupid.
I very much doubt it's based on him, but that's the same actor.
If anyone read the summary from game informer they'd see that it essentially is Star Wars SoulsThis is like the EXACT opposite spectrum of the force unleashed, because it actually feels like SW:

E3 is near take your fun and jokes and get the hell out of here!
Game looks fine...
But the fact dismemberment looks precanned and sometimes it looks like you are just hitting them with a baseball bat and not a lightsaber is dissapointing

I think the problem is it is hard to make 3rd person melee games look entertaining, you have to experience them.
Personally, watching Dark Souls and DMC is boring, but not to play.

It looks like they threw Uncharted and Dark Souls into a blender with a metroidvania base. It just looks basic and AAA as hell even down to the experience bar which means there's also RPG mechanics. And even without that, it just doesn't look good. The combat looks like it lacks any weight and the animations don't look good either.
Kotor had plenty of spectacle. Force powers that lit up the screen. Lightsabers of all kinds. Dual weidling. Force users jumping and flipping around. Combat encounters that actually posed a challenge ;P
Even as a huge Star Wars fan I have to say Fallen Order looks meh. Maybe the next gameplay footage will show something less boring.
Fun fact, not sure most people know this. But this game is in fact not using the engine Force Unleashed uses, and literally everything you see is made from scratch by a new team. No photoscanning was used either, all hand crafted.
So it's not the 20th game using this engine and tools, it's #1. Things will only get smoother!
A 2016 game using their own custom engine that they been developing for 20 years. Really impressive stuff they have over at Naughty dog!
Yea, this was a strange one insofar as the games are concerned given (IIRC) Jedi Knight games allowed for it. TFU also does not dismemberment- and that game was completely over the top.
Perhaps Disney wanted to continue on that path to get T rating from ESRB.
Personally, I feel like it nerfs how deadly the weapon actually is according to their depiction in other mediums.
That canned grab animation doesn't hold a candle to the dynamic force mechanics in FU.They're scripted in the demos. You should read the text.
The animation in the demo showcased here today literally looks better than the animation in force unleashed. The smear effect on the lightsabers and motion blur did a good job of the weird poses. Plus you're comparing a demo where the player likely has god mode and the difficulty turned down to a full game.
Hell just the gameplay options shown today showed more depth and options at the player's disposal than in Force Unleashed. Like with the grab mechanic we've seen the player execute:
use it to block a blaster bolt:
and knock an enemy into another:
That last gif is also a good showcase of the mix between input response and good animation blending.
They made a point of the "skilled player" playing the demo, so I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt in terms of AI. My first gif shows troopers dodging attacks and holding on to each other. They also grabbed on to the environment. Compare that against:
Overall, I just expected much better from a billion dollar franchise.
This is literally the exact opposite of what I want.
Lightsabers aren't the blades of chaos or clubs.
And I want that
Dark souls maybe but not Devil May Cry. watching dmc can be incredibly fun.
Does the lightsaber, specifically the color, look off to anyone else? It looks kinda dull, almost like they did in some scenes in the OT DVDs (which was later fixed in the BluRays).
Since when has youtube likes/dislike ratio been a good indication of anything?Sometimes Era is very out of touch with the general reception on some things. ESPECIALLY anything SW related...
But they're not though. By ND's own account they play the same demo over and over again and record only the most eventful and cool looking play through, because all the different contextual non scripted elements, such as the examples you gave, which are mechanical and contextual based outcomes that exist in the final game, mean it's difficult for them to replicate the same thing every time, hence needing countless play throughs to get the coolest looking one to showcase.

Fun fact, Respawn did not recieve near a billion dollars to make this title. Is actually a small team with limited resources
That's the problem.
No disrespect to Respawn, they deserved a better budget and resources.

Shame the gif didn't start 4 seconds earlier. Not scripted in any way, droid just happened to be at the right place at the right time for the force push.
So that means we cannot criticize what was shown? A billion dollars? Do games often cost that much to make?
This for me too. Hope there are other colors in the game, specially Luke's blue and green
Was replying to someone saying it's a billion dollar franchise. Just goofin!
Had this thought as well, especially after they came out and said a few days back that they wouldn't be treating the saber like a bat.
Gotta do what you gotta do for that T rating I suppose.
Remember when Infinite Warfare, one of the best SP shooters of the past decade, had its debut trailer come out to a record number of dislikes?
This AI is so terrible LMAO
