15 minutes is a pre-hellworld runtime.

The Jedi games were loving cool. Although somehow, the first one (2, where you train under Luke) felt a lot smoother. Don't know how to say beyond that. Battlefront (the previous one) was a lot of fun, too. SW is just the right level of immersion for an action-adventure game. Then again, I think the same about Halo...

Star Wars is the franchise that has it all from a gaming standpoint. In just this one property, you can justify all the following genres without taking liberties with the source material. - A knight/wizard questing RPG. - A sword fighting game. - A "western" shooter in a lawless environment. - A "military" shooter with big battles and vehicles. - A spaceship flying game. - A tactical strategy game. - A grand strategy game. - A narrative RPG. - A spy/stealth game. - Nerf Herder Simulator Star Wars just does it all. This is why it's criminal that EA has basically completely squandered to the license so far. At least they finally made a Jedi game after seven or eight years. The only type of game I can think of where you'd really have to abuse the source material to get it done would be a big-picture strategy game with more than two factions. You're pretty limited to Republic/Separatists and Empire/Rebellion.

Make it asymmetrical and add the Hutt Cartel and Corporate Sector that are trying to corner markets corrupt officials and make bank for their wincon instead of sending troops to occupy territory.

This is sort of what Empire at War did with it's DLC when it tried to insert the Consortium as a third faction, and it was... not great.

Set it post endor with multiple Imperial warlords gunning to rekindle the new order and slightly different approaches and strength (one guy got a little more of the navy, another has ins with the spynet, w/e). Meanwhile the disparate forces of the Alliance to restore the Republic with the Empire defeated have some conflicts over which factions vision will guide the new republic with the partisans fighting in the memory of saw gurerra wanting a more muscular armed force but mon mothma prefers diplomacy. Etc.

they should make a simulator where you play as a gunner on the Death Star. but not on the side thats being attacked, you are a gunner on the back side. your job is to watch a blank screen for an hour or so for any signs of rebel fighters, then blow up.

In just this one property, you can justify all the following genres without taking liberties with the source material. They should do with Star Wars what Games Workshop has been doing with its IPs vis-a-vis video games for the past couple of years. That is farm out bits of the IPs (like a single faction/race, event, location, etc) to lots of different developers to make games out of, if any of those fizzle out and don't really do well it's no big deal really (you, as owner of the IP, didn't really expend alot of money or reputation into developing it), if they do well you give them more of the IP to work with (Vermintide games) or if they are already a big developer who make games that go well together with one of your franchises you might give them an entire setting to play with (Creative Assembly and the Total Warhammers). But no, let's give it all to EA so they can just sit on it. Randarkman fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Dec 7, 2019 |

The clones turn into the Empire after all, but you could have like a battalion that got their Manchurian candidate chips EMPed or something and fights the Empire using Republic tech. Maybe there could be Gungans that want to break away and join the Empire, stuff like that. TIE Fighter had all those Empire on Empire campaigns that were like half the game, where your lovely gunboat gets blown up by TIE Defenders ten billion times then you get to fly it yourself like twice.

The best part of Battlefront (the first, first one) was the strategic arms race that developed during the first couple weeks after launch for the Battle of Hoth. First the AT-AT's just died because everyone towcabled them. Then the Imps always won because people figured out how to cover against the speeders with mountains or rush to the rebel hanger to steal them. Then the Rebels always won because people learned to dog-pile/focus fire on the Walkers. Then the Empire learned that instead of advancing they could keep the walkers at spawn and potshot the Rebels to death. But then someone realized that made them vulnerable to speeders again. Then finally someone realized you could march the walkers in a line/side scrapping and it forced tow cables to detach since the other walker blocked their circle.
