Will there ever be an original story campaign kind of game?

I don't know how hard it would be to make. But as a fan of the Sith i always wanted a game where i could create a character, similar to SWTOR but not an mmo, and live through the rule of 2 scenario. I'm big fan of story driven single player games.

For example: Let's say character creation takes place as a specific race with a backstory or multiple backstories for the setting to take place in. You being force sensitive but never trained, would come across a battle or something were in a sith lord needs a new apprentice because his died or something, I'm rambling.

You'd train learn and eventually kill your master and develope your own apprentice. Maybe you'd have the choice of said apprentice through meeting different companions throughout the story. And it could end with the eventual betrayal of your apprentice and a last fight to death with options to lose or win for a different ending.

I have no idea how that would work as a jedi but we already have Cal Kestis, so who cares.

P.S. i love the sith in games not the movies. Generally i always pick the evil morality because the opposite tends to have the most annoying quest objectives

UPDATE: I guess I'm buying Kotor and Kotor2? Thank you for your respectful answers and sorry for my ignorance

We need a young Boba Fett game!

I know 1313 was gonna be that, but what if we had a game starring Young Boba Fett (voiced by Daniel Logan), and his rise to becoming the best bounty hunter in the galaxy?

The game could start off with the unpublished Clone Wars arc with him and Cad Bane, and then after their dual, they could time-jump to the Imperial era where Boba finds out Bane is still alive and is sabotaging him!

We can have legendary characters appear such as Bossk, Sugi, Aurra Sing, Tobias Beckett, Embo, Latts Razzi, Highsinger, Dengar, VENTRESS..... underworld gangs like Black Sun, Crimson Dawn, the Hutts, and the Pykes..... maybe Maul!

Then we can have a ton of locations like recycling parts of 1313, and a ton of other planets! It could be a spiritual sequel to the old Bounty Hunter game starring his dad! So, it might be a bit more linear, with a bunch of bounty hunting side missions, rather than an open world game. It COULD be open-world still, but if it's a successor to the first Bounty Hunter game, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

At first I was thinking an animated series for young Boba, but wouldn't it be much better if this were a game? We could get all the unanswered questions about Boba before the events of Empire Strikes Back, and witness first hand his rise to the top!

Here is a couple of games I would love to see made in the Star Wars franchise

1: A Star Wars game like hell let loose or squad a tactical milism game

2: A survival game where you play as ahsoka tano and its takes place in a Strange planet that is in a jungle or snow covered planet

3: a Shipping game that allows you to play as a freight ship captain where you build your crew and upgrade your ship

SWTOR for non MMO fan

As the title says im a non mmo fan looking to play this game.

Absolutely love Kotor 1 and 2 and I want to get the story from Swtor.

My questions are how suitable is it for single player and more importantly what class/build etc gives the best general experience? I usually don't like grindy stuff so im unlikely to play multiple characters, so i just want to get as much from one playthrough as possible

Possible lost media from childhood | Jedi Academy prerelease build

I think 90% of everyone here remembers when they used to play Jedi Academy, the customisable protagonist Jaden Korr and brought us mods like movie duels/battles, Galactic Legacy and such?

Good, beacuse I want to ask if anybody remembers playing a build of the game with slight differences from the steam release?

Some of what I can recall to this day are the very first tunnel on the Tatooine second mission having no while walled tunnel and 2 moisture collectors (or whatever those tall things are)

On the corruscant map if you saved and reloaded, you could just pass the bridge even though it was broken after the cutscene. You could just use the DEMP 2 anti droid thingamajig to shoot those assassin droids beacuse those specific 4 ones at the end didn't have shields like the other ones throughout the map.

The final mission you could cheese ravioli, Kyle and ragnos beacuse the 2 huge doors at ragnos' tomb didn't exist and you'd hide outside the entrance. Tavion's scepter would rarely properly damage the player with the laser animation.

Jetpack troopers after force choking their dead selves they would start flying while being corpses and float into the sky until they despawn.

On the same gas planet you could fight an invisible cutscene poruposed player entity frozen that would just parry you.

On the multiplayer mode the stouker riffle had no front moving shroud thingy when shooting and looked like the tip of a vacuum cleaner instead.

There's many more I could recall, but I think whoever had one of these copies knows what I'm talking about. I can't be the only one to have had that piece of lost media. I have to check old drawers at my parents for those 2 disks and record a video of it

Which SW games are best for playing as a Jedi? (PS4/XboxOne)

Hi guys,

I’ve played a fair few Star Wars games over the years, but most of them older ones: SW Ep1: TPM (such nostalgia, even if the camera angle was awful), Jedi Power Battles (hardest game I’ve ever played), Battlefront 1 & 2 on PS2 (legendary), and Lego Star Wars in various incarnations. I even played Pit Droids on PC. I’m fairly sure I’ve played Jedi Knight II at some stage with friends, too. But all of these were on older consoles.

The other day I was in CeX and saw Jedi Fallen Order. I’ve never heard of it but it was cheap, so I bought it, and whilst reading up on it, I realised there have been soooo many SW games made over the years that just passed me by.

I love games like Battlefront, but I mostly enjoy being able to play as a Jedi in a story mode, preferably fighting for the ‘good’ cause rather than going rogue.

So just wanted to ask: I’ve now got an Xbox one and a PS4 (and still have my PS3). What are the best games I’ve probably missed over the years for doing that?!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: if it helps, I’m a huge Assassins Creed fan; is there a SW equivalent??

Should I buy Empire at war or Jedi academy?

So recently I bought the OG BF2 and thought it was pretty fun, but my mind as been more interested in these two games. My friend at school has played Empire at war and played it with mods and he tells me its super fun, but I've also been interested in Jedi academy especially because of the cool mods, so just wondering your opinions.

Would anyone be excited for another Star Wars fighting game be since I think the franchise could give it another go after Masters of Teras Kasi

Yes I know MOTK was garbage but with the fighting game space we have now I feel like an actual competent fighting game company could tackle the franchise especially with the array of characters added with the release of the prequals and sequals.

A Star Wars multiplayer FPS from Respawn

I would like to start this post by acknowledging the canceled Mandalorian FPS from Respawn that was sadly canceled by EA. Hearing about the great things that people who played the game had to say is one of the things that inspired me to make this post.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) in the first person view that the game has to offer for the very first time (I have played the game since the Beta). After a few days of playing the game is this state I was hooked. The immersion, intensity, and combat, felt like it had an extra "edge" to it. And after this I got the idea to try finally try out Republic Commando. While I won't go into depth here, I will say that it was an incredible experience, and is now one of my favorite Star Wars games. This got me thinking: it is remarkable that we have not gotten a darker, grounded, Star Wars FPS since Republic Commando. With Star Wars Jedi 3 on the horizon, and with it intended to be the final installment in the series, it makes me wonder if an advanced movement multiplayer FPS would make sense for Respawn's next Star Wars project.

With the studios great track record with advanced movement in the Titanfall series and Apex Legends (admittingly, I have played much more of the former than the latter), I can't help but feel that that experience would translate well into the Star Wars universe.

Imagine a game set 5-15 years after Return of the Jedi, with a campaign that has a gritty and "down to earth" tone to the story and atmosphere. We could potentially play as a bounty hunter and would have to navigate a galaxy still dealing with the power vacuum left from the fallen Empire. Perhaps we would work for and against different crime syndicates and Hutts. Or we could serve as a mercenary for the one of the Imperial Remnants or for the New Republic.

As far as the multiplayer is concerned, i think the aforementioned advanced movement mechanics would add something never before seen in a Star Wars game. You could expect wall running, mid-air jumping, sliding, grappling, and jet packs. I would expect maps tailored to 6v6 or 8v8 team sizes, with plenty of verticality to accommodate the games movement.

One of the advantages of the game being set 5-15 years after Return of the Jedi would be that it would give the the development team plenty of weapons to draw from: from the E-5 used by the Battle Droids to the A280 used by Rebel Troopers, and the pulse rifle used by the Mandalorian to the DC-17m used by the Republic Commandos, and so much more. With the game being a FPS with more focus on the gun play than say a Battlefront game, I would love for the blasters to have real recoil and sound powerful, and for each of them to feel like they're filling a specific role in the game, at least as much so is possible. I think another thing that would add to the "realism" of the game would be that if for the blasters that it would be applicable, if they switched from the overheating system of other Star Wars games to a magazine system seen in Republic Commando.

And then their would be the cosmetics. The possibility would be nearly endless: from repurposed Clone helmets for your bounty hunter to Mandalorian helmets. And of course all the different species of the Star Wars universe: from Twi'leks to Trandoshans. As well as blaster skins and maybe even different colors of blaster bolts. I would imagine the game could be able to financially sustain itself through these for a good amount of time.

Thank you to anyone who read all the way through. Here's to hoping we could one day get a game like this. I know the passion of this fan base, and how much we deserve and would support something like this.

Embers of the Empire Officially Released!

Embers of the Empire An all-new, original Imperial campaign for X-Wing Alliance set in the Star Wars Legends timeline, taking place shortly after the events of Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn. As a conscript from Parshoone, Janz Gaaland is thrust into the ranks of the battered Imperial Remnant, fighting not for conquest—but for survival—in a fractured, post-treaty galaxy. With the Empire weakened, divided, and surrounded, every battle matters. Every decision carries weight. And for the first time in years...the Empire may finally have a chance to rise again.

Mara Jade's forgotten lightsaber from Jedi Knight has been released!

I never thought I'd see it let alone hold one in my hand but Korbanth did the lightsaber from Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Everyone had the usual lightsaber of her so rooted in their minds but this one was truly forgotten, and I absolutely love it and love the fact they got the face of Mara Jade to sign plaques for the first people who buy one.

I might sound biased but absolutely flawless lightsaber!

I nearly wish the Star Wars sequels had more to work with for games, so we can draw more of a healthy comparison but it facts are what they are.
