Star Wars Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - sequel to Fallen Order

Not sure what level of cognitive dissonance it requires to think EA is supremely greedy but also just randomly decided to not capitalize on a majorly profitable IP.

You do have a point.

? Not what I said. I just said that EA is massively incompetent at capitalizing on a majorly profitable IP. They're a bunch of MBA dipshits who think that writing a 10 page paper on Friedman qualifies them to make executive level decisions on game design.

Do you have some evidence of EA having financial difficulties recently?

I have evidence of EA getting their Star Wars exclusivity license revoked two years before they said it would be when they announced it.

Seems like someone spared the rod...

And when it was getting revoked they began making games again now that they couldn't prevent others from doing so.
Big think.

Uh.... Aside from Survivor and probably the inevitable and infinite LEGO games what else are they making? I freely admit I don't pay much attention, but I'm not aware of any SW games having been announced recently.

EA has 3 star wars games in development by Respawn alone.

I like how they make the main character look like every soybeard gamer boy except in slightly better shape
they know their audience that's for sure

10 million units sold was definitely an overperformance compared to internal expectations. We're talking EA here, the company that so badly bungled their exclusive rights to arguably the most popular pop culture franchise in the world that they only released 2 games in 5 years (both of which received mixed receptions and one of which had a major scandal around predatory monetization practices).

swtor has made over a billion dollars and receives regular updates

As I know you know: TOR has had a long tail and initially underperformed; it had a strong launch, but sure dropoff in the months that followed.

It also launched a full 1.5 years prior to EA signing its exclusivity deal (to say nothing of launching ahead of Disney’s catastrophic influence), so I genuinely don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

I don't think they've ever felt pressure to release star wars games because they have one of the best selling star wars games on the market continuously churning out profit.

Yes. EA is famously happy to sit content and not milk its franchises dry. They are the very model of restraint. Pip pip.

Why would they compete with themself?
What makes you think the exclusivity deal was to make games rather than prevent others from doing so?

Did TIE Fighter compete with Dark Forces or Super Star Wars?

Yes.
External IPs don't play by typical genre rules, especially when it's an IP that appeals to children.

Fundamental disagree, but I would be curious to look at any data you have that supports that view.

My data: EA didn't make any games.
Yes, I'm going to assume EA knows more about this than you.

EA's lack of making games during a time it'd be most profitable to do so wasn't done because EA didn't want to make games. They had a number of games in the pipeline (something like four or five games) that ended up not becoming anything. There whole venture into Star Wars exclusivity was only saved by Respawn, who up until Apex Legends was seemingly a studio EA didn't give a fucking shit about despite being run by the main Call of Duty team that made that series a giant money maker.

no cognitive dissonance required here, they are simply supremely greedy AND stupid

rusty just can't stop sucking corporate cock. Cringy.

They miscast the actor for the main character. The guy just has one of those faces that annoy people, like that guy who is playing Adam warlock in the guardians of the Galaxy movies.

nah it's intentional EA's well aware that star wars fans are a bunch of soys
now if this were a star TREK game on the other hand, the main character would be #chadface

Be glad he's a ginger and not a nigger, all though some may question there being any distinction.

If Deadspace remake is anything to go by 10 years from now they will remake Fallen Order and he will be recast as a nignog.

I'm okay with this if it's Samuel L. Jackson.

Cal going to the Katarn school of character development: grow a beard between your first and second games.

The game looks promising, although lack of Chris Avellone's input is possibly detrimental. I like how it maintains a wide colour palette as well, overall aesthetically wonderful showing. I am optimistic that this game, despite current century times, may shine through with genuine quality.

I also very much liked the first one.​

Delayed to April 28th.

Slightly off-topic but EA just cancelled the mobile versions of Apex Legends and Battlefield and closed the studio working on them.

The economic carnage affecting not just games industry but everywhere is going full steam

Should help ship a few more copies of Resident Evil 4 next month then I guess...

Never played these games but I saw that there was this cute girl merrin in the first game or some shit that everyone liked and she ISN'T coming back
Imagine being this retarded waifufags will give you free money by keeping her in, and letting the protag plow her; but you're so intent on only having fat ugly cunts getting representation you don't keep her on.

Bravo wokies bravo

Wait what? She's not coming back?! Fuck this game then.

It was only a matter of time until devs incapable of making games in reasonable time periods got cut
