df0 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 No, most if not all SW games I played stand on their own. KOTOR, TOR, the ones on GameCube, the shooters on PS2 (something Rogue I think. With the white armour with blue markings). But I get your point, I'm clearly not the target audience for the original and possibly this sequel.

Boothjan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'm hoping they throw in a random Targaryen, a Borg, Simon Cowell, Meghan Markle, Sauron, Skeletor and Indiana Jones just to make sure everyone is catered for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think games like KOTOR stand alone more because of their setting and being away from the film era. The Jedi Fallen Order games are smack bang in the middle of the Empire era, a period that is getting heavy coverage and lore expansion through the various Disney + shows at the moment (Obi Wan, Bad Batch, Andor etc) so interconnectivity is key. The other game you mention is probably Rogue Squadron which isn't as story focussed, being more about the individual missions and blowing shit up. BTW, Rogue Squadron were part of the Rebel Alliance (against the Empire). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOTOR had tons of Star Wars lore in it, you had the results of the Exar Kun thing going on in the background. You had the Vong being mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Certificate Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 They're shadowy insurgent types, disguised as effeminate antique dealers so easy to miss. Ginger McNoCharisma has a blaster this time maybe the combat will be more like bloodborne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothjan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Quote The developers of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are listening to the fans and are adding a much-requested feature: fast travel. Jedi: Fallen Order required players to backtrack through much of the levels to visit places they may have already been From HERE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmm Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Didn't realise that this was current gen only. Excellent; hope they take full advantage. I wonder how many force abilities he will have conveniently forgotten at the beginning of the game. Obviously, they will include some kind of progression, but it'd be nice not to have a near full reset at the start. The last game improved steadily the more powers you got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulgar Monkey Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 He still kinda walks like he's bobbed himself, which Im convinced is why they 'encouraged' you to wear so many ponchos in the first one. But yeah, should be fun by looks of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubik Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 He runs like Saru from Star Trek: Discovery, very gangly. I enjoyed the first game, apart from the wall running (which is still there according to this video). I'll definitely get this but probably wait till it drops to £40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Yeah it's a fucking great game. You may want to drop the difficultly as some of the Boss fights can be quite the difficulty spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 That video makes it look pretty fantastic, although the combination of Cal Kestis' stubble and the way he goes around slaughtering wild animals that seem to be mostly minding their own business makes it look like a kind of Prince Harry game. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The firey corpses of Luke's aunt and uncle are basically the burning bush. Obi Wan leads young Skywalker from the desert. He makes Ray/Rey every Jedi, and so he brings them all back. From a certain point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyl Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Bought the original on release and rinsed it. But with RE4 a week before and Zelda a week after, and the track record of EA practically forcing you to have this at half price or free on both subscription services within 3 months of release, gonna miss out. Happy they added fast travel though - 1st game was close to unreplayable. I think my saved game is him still stuck in a ditch somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarlaccfood Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Yeah this is looking great but there’s so much else out around the same time I’ll hold out and pick it up cheaper in a month or two six. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
