? Jade Raymond constantly attacked the cancelled Star Wars game as being a generic, uninspired Uncharted ripoff according to reports.
went back to find her in issue 19, and there she is
There's something kind of hilarious about the inquisitors just... hanging out
none of them seem to be having a good time and that's great
Won't lie that trailed got me really interested. Yeah, it's generic Star Wars stuff, but I love that though. And yeah, the protagonist looks bland but...honestly I actually really like him and his voice actor. So as far as 2 minute no gameplay trailers go this was an A+ for me.
lmao
wasn't jaden an npc, like a buddy in the academy? it's been a while tho. i wanna say the player's name was left to them.
If I remember right, he's the default character in the game unless you choose a different appearance.
Also find it unfortunate, but hopefully it will be better than no sp SW game at all.
I used to find SW exciting in many different ways, including games like Tie Fighter, KOTOR, Jedi Knight, pod racer, Battlegrounds and Rogue Squadron. Episodes 1-3 were also nice in the sense of enriching the lore and bringing games alongside, some that were actually trying new grounds.
But this Disney-EA era feels just safe and bland overall, and honestly the new Respawn game just fits the vibe of the recent movies for me: serviceble. Maybe the gameplay will prove me wrong though...
shes the one with the mask in the front left. Not one word said in the issue. I think this is the only panel she is in
Nope, you played as Jaden, though you could select how they appeared. EU media defaulted to this appearance:
Details. Nothing really given as proof of concept bar some dot points. The games coming out at the end of the year, shit should be locked in at least enough to showcase gameplay and what it will play like.
Story is nice, but gameplay is what I Wi be playing and want to see.
I'm not holding out for this to be something unique. It's pointless speculation anyways until we see what the actual game is like.
Well considering my option as a minority is limited and they don't want commit to do a different looking protagonist, yes I'd rather have that option anytime
Underwhelming, kinda cheesy trailer. It just didn't feel like Star Wars to me, nor what I wanted from the game.
However, it's just a trailer, and may not be super representative to the tone and style of the game overall. Looking forward to seeing gameplay.

ahh. thanks for the correction!
i should replay ja
Unlike Mass Effect this isn't a role playing game. Also unlike Mass Effect are all the sequences performance captured by an actor. It's like asking Last of us to have a customizable protagonist.
I have see these "in game engine" trailers many times . Doesn't inspire any confidence. This will probably be a really bad game like anything post Disney SW.
I figured out what was bugging me. I'm getting Force Unleashes vibes.
That's not a good thing.
Same! SW games used to be pretty diverse and interesting. The problem is EA, I guess.
fwiw I thought Titanfall 2's SP was stellar so there's hope.
sorry but, jedi academy already set the standard
it features:
That's largely due to the artstyle. Lots of focus on the industrial side of the Empire.
It is pretty fitting knowing their history etc. Basically turned on their fellow jedi to save their own skin and while a few probably enjoy the corruption of the dark side the rest are probably miserable shits
hmm, his hair looks shorter here than it does in the scene of him running up the wall
disappointed is an understatement, generic as generic can be honestly. I have my fears that the game-play will be shallow, not expecting DMC but feel if they had something unique the will show it. lets wait and see more but for now hype has sunk to the bottom of the ocean
Trailer did nothing for me. Even from a presentation perspective it looked a bit wonky. And considering these are the fancy cinematics, that doesn't bode well for the actual gameplay. But I'll keep an eye on it. Who knows, it could end up good. I kinda preferred the look of what 1313 was doing if I'm being entirely honest.
Personally I'm glad they didn't. Customized protagonists tend to kill my investment in them. I prefer to just be told a story rather than "being" the story if that makes sense. I like defined characters because I feel like I can get really attached to them, I can't get attached to say Shepard or the Dragon Age Origins protag because of that.
I do understand that it goes the other way for some people though and that they get more invested in the character if they can customize them, so I'd have understood if they went that route. I was kind of expecting them to have a customizable protagonist to be honest.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how the gameplay looks.
Hope the platforming and puzzles are better than standard AAA stuff.

It's what I was afraid of. And so far it feels like they definitely took inspiration from those shitty games.
Not even mad at the white male MC, but him being a teenager is bumming me out. I've outgrown most anime due to MCs being all teens or tweens, getting the same vibe here. Plus it might be my "old person yell at cloud" thing, but I found him a bit obnoxious too (the voice maybe?)....
Glad am not the only one who noticed. Also there were two sections the animations looked off. It makes me worried about the gameplay honestly
It sort of is, sort of isn't. In terms of wider Star Wars media it is pretty much the generic backstory for Jedi (kinda has to be), from Kanan Jarrus in current canon to much of the side cast in The Force Unleashed, though it hasn't tended to be directly played so much - usually when when it crops up in games it's, as touched on with Force Unleashed, something for other characters as opposed to your own.
So in that respect, Cal's story is in a bit of a limbo - we have seen it before, but we've not usually been at the controls for it. So there is a novelty in the premise for the medium, but it is one that has been very commonly depicted elsewhere with oft-male, oft-white characters.
User Banned (Permanent): Denying the existence of systemic prejudice; account still in junior phase
This is factually incorrect. Racism is discrimination based on skin color. The idea that it is systematic pretends that no poc can be rasicist or discriminatory in any way. Again wrong. Sexism is based on gender. So you absolutely can be discriminated against for being make. Sorry to break it to you.
Exactly. Ironically, one of the actual heights of all of video game storytelling was Kotor facilitated by its create a character design.
Honestly, I probably never enjoyed Star Wars more than playing my own character submerged in the galaxy far far away.
I thought create a character would be damn near ubiquitous is games at this point, but unfortunately not
Even the none-Jedi Star Wars games were white dudes, right? I remember that scruffy white dude on those N64 games wasn't a Jedi. The only poc main character in a SW game I can think of is Iden Versio in the Battlefront 2 single player campaign
They did say beforehand that they wanted to make that without the DBZ shit
