fuck earth im leaving
Meanwhile EA of all companies is out there receiving rights to make multiple Star Wars games.
Fuck. Everything.
imagine flying a speeder around Coruscant and all the shit you could do and places you could visit
it's been a dream game of mine since I was ~11 and to hear that it [I]almost[/I] happened is both exciting and a huge let-down

Mortal words can not express my arousal.
With multiple worlds with different factions/missions on each.
What the hell. So many amazing games, some even near complete like Battlefront 3. Yet none of them will ever see the light of day. Fuck.
This sounds like the dumbest, most idiotic, weirdest, most unrealistic and downright cheesiest open world sandbox ever.
I want it.

Avalanche is probably the only game dev who's managed to keep design integrity over the last 5 years.
It's seems like almost every big franchise I can think of has fucking tanked, other than a few exceptions. JC2 is like one of the only AAA games I can think of that was unambiguously and totally better than it's predecessor in every conceivable way.
They would have rocked the shit out of a starwars franchise
Man Star Wars just keeps getting fucked alot.

The best drunk game with the best drunken song.
nah nah that wouldve been dumb
we need MORE LEGO STAR WARS GAMES
jk i'm vexed
You guys don't see the beauty of this. If the JC2 guys had gotten Star Wars, all we would have gotten was a potentially bad ass open world game. Now that EA has the rights, we get so much more. I can't wait for things like tacked on multiplayer(complete with the servers being shut down 6-12 months later).
And think of how much Star Wars would benefit from free DLC like SimCity 5 has. Death Star 3 will be no match for my max stat eco friendly X-Wing by Nissan, firing AXE Body Spray Lasers and protected by Slim Jim and Dorito armor plate. Then I'll hop over to Mountain Dew Presents: Dagobah to learn the force from Katy Perry. With my droid Oral-BD2.
............Bad, getting old joke aside, Having played JC2 recently, I too feel this is a lost opportunity.

Except those were good.
Imagine an open world Jango Fett bounty hunter game in the style of Just Cause 2
Imagine an open world Django Unchained bounty hunter game in the style of Just Cause 2
We missed out on Just Cause 2: Star Wars Edition? Fuck me in the ass.
It's like Battlefront, X-Wing Alliance and Jedi Outcast were destined to be the permanent peak of Star Wars games.

Wouldn't really be interested in an open world Star Wars game. Technically if you want that, you've got The Old Republic or the KotOR series - they were 'open world' enough. I would still much rather another PROPER Star Wars FPS a la Battlefront 3 or Republic Commando 2 (or even First Assault which is just BF3 in disguise).
Not really interested in third person open world Star Wars stuff any more to be honest.
*edit* Or another Rogue Squadron / Racer title. Holy shit imagine a properly done new Rogue Squadron PC title...
I really do hate the AAA market, never willing to do anything new. And if they do, they'll milk the shit out of it
I predict that this will happen to Blood Dragon, unfortunately
[QUOTE=Kegan;40566885]So how close were we to having the dual hook AND laser guns and possibly lightsabers?
But no, let's EA make more starwars games instead
:suicide:[/QUOTE]
Jump out of a ship, hook into another midair, lightsaber to open the cockpit like a can.... Holy shit.
So LucasArts sabotaged the development of Battlefront 3 so that it wouldn't be released, and then turned down the chance to get the JC2 devs working on an open-world SW game that would almost certainly sell boatloads.
Honestly, as bad as EA might be, I don't think even they can beat that level of ineptitude.

And niche. It's Lego after all. I want some ~real~ Star Wars titles.
