EA (via Respawn) Announces Development of New 3rd Person Star Wars Game

[Rakewell]

Just MP, I presume? Especially since Respawn did TitanFall.

I wish they'd just do one with a decent story.

Today, I’m thrilled to be able to announce that EA and the talented team at Respawn Entertainment have expanded our relationship to include the development of an all-new 3rd person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. They join our other great studios – Visceral Games, DICE, Capital Games, BioWare, Motive and more – who are currently working on Star Wars projects. If you’re interested in joining us on this adventure, you can visit our Careers page – we have openings at Visceral and Motive and will be sharing more on these experiences soon.

The only star wars project I even remotely care about is the one BioWare is working on.

Well it does say "action ADVENTURE", but that could mean anything in marketing-speak. New Jedi Knight? /shrug

New Jedi Knight? /shrug

This is about the only thing that would get my interest. If it's more Force Unleashed garbage, pass.

If it's EA it means multiplayer, maybe if we're lucky it'll have a half-assed campaign.

sigh..

if Dice couldnt get it right, were supposed to trust this no name company?

What we really need is a remake of Dark Forces.

MP only would make me sad. I would take another Jedi Knight with a solid SP campaign.

Yeah I would like a good immersive single-player experience. I'm kinda getting burnt out on the MP genre. Dark Forces was great. Maybe something in the vein of an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game in the Star Wars world (just please no VATS combat system)

Respawn is hardly a no name company. Two founders of Respawn are the guys that created Call of Duty at Infinity Ward.

I've got a lot more faith in these guys creating something good and fresh, compared with DICE that just rebadges the same buggy junk over and over again.

Respawn is hardly a no name company. Two founders of Respawn are the guys that created Call of Duty at Infinity Ward.

And also the two guys that said dedicated servers aren't needed anymore.

In any case, not a random no-name dev-house at least.

I enjoyed Titanfall for what it was, but there wasn't enough depth to justify the vanilla version, let alone the deluxe.

I'm willing to take a wait-and-see, as opposed to the immediate dismissal some others are laying down.

enough FPS - how about a well done RTS or something other then "pew pew pew"

You're already off in that it's a third person game.

As for whether it's a shooter is anyone's guess. Respawn only has one game in its portfolio right now, but the founders do have a shooter rep.
