The Mouse will always want that New Hope.
Telling somebody's DNA is boring is already boring.
No way. Did you see the panel? They gave out Xbox Ones and free Xbox Live Months and they mentioned they had Microsoft representatives in the room.
I really hope this game has a segment where you are almost found by or at least see Vader and have to try to suppress yourself and escape or something. Not an actual fight, but just seeing him close by in a scene where he's there for some other reason. Like when Indy bumped into Hitler, only not as light hearted. Put a little fear perspective in it.
Laughing at people who time and time again still expect to see gameplay in a reveal trailer. When was the last time we got a big reveal with game play??
But seriously, looks dope, big fan of this Jerome clown and I expect a great experience from Respawn.
Wall running? I'll take it.
Man I just can't bring myself to be excited or hyped over a seemingly unmemorable story-based game like this that's likely going to be over within 15 hours.
I really really wish they'd had a multiplayer in this game, cos now I can't justify getting it.

Based on Jason article on Visceral Star Wars, Disney seems to have a very tight control on SW canon/lore. Iirc the article mentioned how they need Disney approval for everything.
This is why I doubt we will ever see Star Wars RPG ala KOTOR or Mass Effect. At most RPG-lite like Horizon or GoW 2018.
And I think it doesn't matter if the character never appeared in anything else, I assume Disney expect consistency in the canon.

In an alternate world, I can see the first post to the game info reveal in AlternateERA would be "Why do everything needs to be open world, hard pass".

Link and timestamp?
I mean MS has paid to have "world premiers" of games marketed on PS4 so I'd need to see specifically. You could be right?

It was more than a reveal trailer though. The game had already been announced and this was an event.
Also the companion droid BD-1 looks stupid.
It looks like a 4th grader with some artistic ability drew it.

Unsurprising to see the negativity around here. I think it looks great, even if we don't see any gameplay. I trust in Respawn and the creatives involved that this won't be bland. The last time they made a single player campaign it was one of the best shooters in a decade.
A reminder that any gameplay reveal may very well have been called out as "fake" thanks to EA's track record of faked "gameplay" reveals for big games like Anthem. It may behoove Respawn and EA to wait until their EA Play event at E3, where hands-on impressions can do more of the talking.
But, yeah. I have no idea what this game is supposed to be based on this trailer. Hmm.

Anthem was a cool concept once.
I'm having the same reaction as you, oddly enough. I saw the trailer and was hyped for the game. I liked the trailer and was pumped. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't see it, but to be honest, I wasn't looking for it? If that makes any sense. Reading the complaints, though, I GET it. Maybe it's because I'm not a huge Star Wars fan...
there was a pretty big MS presence in general, plus the Mixer promotion MS had where you could get KOTOR for free
Saying it's impossible to racist to a white person and impossible to be sexist to a man are the most racist and most sexist things I've read today. Good job man.
Edit- about 2 years ago I went into a barber shop and everyone was black. I literally got told to leave because I didn't belong. When I pressed for a reason I was told "you know why u white piece of shit". What do you call that if not racism??
Similar to Anthem prior to its release (lol in retrospect), my recommendation will be not to buy the game but to simply spend $15 for a month of Origin Premier to play it.
For Anthem, I argued that it's because we didn't know what the endgame would be like.
For this game, I'll argue that players that budget a decent amount of time for games will get all that they want to get out of this game within a month, no matter how good it is.
This'll be the second Origin Premier game this year that will have saved me $45.
You could do a Yoda segment where he thinks he's found the location of the last Jeda master. When you get there though it's not actually Dagobah, but a trap by Vader to kill the last Jedi. Just have "Survive" on the screen as Vader walks towards you in a wooded area bathed in twilight, with a pile of broken lightsabers on one side, and a smodering fire, with the ashes of the fallen, on the other.
I'll copy what I said elsewhere, main character complaints aside, the writing wasn't terrible for the trailer.
The trailer was fine with a decent throughline. It starts with the setup of the three rules to survive in this new order:
1. Don't stand out.
2. Accept the past.
3. Trust no one.
It then shows us as he breaks each rule one by one. It ends with him eschewing those rules for a better rule as he accepts his destiny as a Jedi, trust only The Force. It's kinda neat even if the plot is generic.

Don't they own the KOTR license now?
And Mixer?
I'd need to see a refernce to XBOX from the dev team to think that that's real?

Well to that end, if featuring men is construed as "normal" and women as "diversity" then SW films, games and fandom still have a long way to go.

Thanks, I missed that.
Sounds really good.
I trust that in the end this game will be great.
The trailer was dull but people writing a Respawn game off because of a three-minute cinematic trailer are ridiculous.
Here's hoping for gameplay at E3.

Wish the panel would have been solely focused on this stuff. Sounds good
DMC5 and LoU2 come to mind I think. As do things like GE3 and Code Vein and Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima. Oh and GoW. Do I need to continue?

Wow it's almost like they could have focused on literally anything mentioned here in the trailer and it would have been better.
Well, since the game is already borrowing a few things from Rebels, why not? Have an equivalent of this scene:
Where like... your best shot is merely slowing him down.
I think the core issue at hand is that there is no way to "solve" diversity. A game can really only have one protagonist unless it's going with a multi-POV format, and not every game WORKS with that kind of structure. Sometimes protagonists are gonna wind up being men. Sometimes they aren't. It feels a little premature to view Fallen Order as some sort of failure of inclusivity just because the protagonist is a white man.
