I'm thinking Microsoft (who were "partners" with EA for the SW presentation), will be getting the first gameplay trailer to show at E3. As Martini says though, not very reassuring!

Edit: Derp. Never mind that^ Sure EA will have their own show

Please be good...

Sorry for going OT a bit but what is it about Titanfall 2's story mode that garnered such praise? I don't own it so know nothing about it. Pretty graphics? Epic cutscenes? Great plot? Fantastic characters?

Was just great over all also came at a time with fps stories seemed to have been ditched by every dev going.

I loved it personally

Good graphics, good gunplay, decent storyline, some very well implemented "time travel" and some really good level design (like the level where you climb the "scenery")

Not sure about this title yet, so little info out there but Respawn have done some good stuff so heres hoping.

It being only on Origin might annoy some of the "I only use Steam" crowd though, but I think thats just something which is only going to increase so they'll just either have to learn to accept it or switch to console gaming

Nice cinematics, but no gameplay shown there. It's Respawn, but it's also EA, and EA kill everything it touches sooner or later. Wait for reviews, don't pre-order.

remember dead space 3? killed that too

This may be the only game I've ever pre ordered. For once I feel like having faith in a pc title...

You are pre-ordering an EA title on a cinematic trailer ? what....

Looks like it's not on Frostbite after all.

I was going to say I'm surprised it's not on Frostbite, but then I remembered Titanfall isn't on Frostbite either.

I'm not against pre-ordering for the sake of it, but as above, this is an EA-published game of which we've seen no gameplay whatsoever.

This makes me want to jump into Jedi Academy and the movie battles mod, brilliant fun!

Guess I'm desperate for a sw game that doesn't suck! Last one that springs to mind was kotor which was a while ago...

This and that it is Respawn gives me a glimmer of hope it won't be completely ****. They've hoovered up some people with good pedigree but whether they can make it all work is another matter.

I believe they are also not as tightly in the clutches of EA (at this point) as some of the other studios under EA and still have a little more autonomy.

EDIT: I think this is likely a make or break title for them as well.

EA, so meh.

It will be full of loot boxes and other tat which will take precedence over actual gameplay. Like all modern EA games.

Wucked · 15 Apr 2019 at 13:51

The trailer has done very little for me tbh, but I’m excited by the idea of a new Jedi Academy style game. Fingers crossed.

So despite them coming out and specifically saying that there won't be any loot boxes or micro-transactions in the game you think EA will risk losing the Star Wars licence with another Battlefront 2 style backlash?

This has genuinely gotten me excited about gaming for the first time in ages!

Yes. It's EA.
