You wanna get through this?
I hope one of the new fighting styles is a lightsaber/blaster hybrid.

Our boy Cal is packing heat in that title image, I imagine the blaster will serve as a Bloodborne-style interrupt

e: would be sick if the gun parts were as interchangeable as the saber, I want to kitbash my piece just like the movies did with WWII surplus in the 70s

Neat stuff, also apparently a 130 GB install :eyepop:

And yeah, kitbashed weapon mods would be awesome, I don't imagine they'll go that far but it'd be great if they did.

The first game was pretty extensive in the lightsaber mods and they patched in even more functionality later, I wouldn’t doubt too hard

This looks quite good. And I appreciate to be able to outfit Cal in more than "hobo outfit" "poncho" and "inquisitor garb". The blaster features very prominently, I can't imagine anything but the dual wielding style that Cere displayed in the final level.

That's true, I didn't pay too much attention to them because customizing lightsaber handles just seems a lot less exciting than a blaster to me.

Good to know that ponchos are out and jackets are in.

I think only FFXV with its high res download was a bigger install among my Steam games than this will be.

I liked the first game but there's definitely some QOL things that should have been in there from the beginning or patched in. Hopefully they learned all the right lessons.

I wonder if it's built with Unreal Engine 5? Interesting that it's just releasing for current gen consoles and PC, hopefully they leverage the power of the new systems. A pity it doesn't require an SSD though, the last remnants of the Old Republic need to be swept away.

Yeah, I liked the first one a lot but its strengths were very much more in fighting all manner of imperial assholes rather than the local fauna. That and a better map are what I want most.

Really looking forward to this. Fallen Order was probably the only modern-ish Star Wars game I've enjoyed much. Even though he's kind of boring, I still like Cal.

Finished replaying FO this morning so this is perfect timing.

I love the first game and I'm really hoping they polish up the level design and combat flow this time around. It seemed like they were going for the Dark Souls-esque thing of getting lost and having to open up shortcuts, but it was just way too easy to take a wrong turn somewhere and then have to spend 20 minutes going down slides and coming back up the other side of the map just to return to where you started.

Man that teaser art is a lot less interesting than this Fallen Order one:



A cool landscape with a crashed ship just seems so much more intriguing than gruff guy front and center. I got so excited about it before actually reading the title and realizing it's for the game we already have.

I agree that the Fallen Order teaser is a lot more interesting. But the Survivor art is cool, too. I'm already invested in the story, so the art doesn't have to entice me to buy the game. Both Cal and BD-1 look pretty good here. We even have the ugly space ship in the background for some nostalgia.

Did I just miss Cal's tattoo, or is it new?

Nah it was there in the first game, but I only noticed it this last time around. It's mostly obscured by the bracelet thing that he wears.

So instead of ponchos, it's jackets, given we've got Obi-Wan, Luke, and Han variants as pre-order content

Can't wait to have an Amidala-level spread of them by midgame

The change in the art may also signify that the character and series are now identifiable enough to not fully rely on the setting to sell units.

I don't hate that newer art, seeing them side by side just reminded me of those box art comparisons where international boxes have really cool artistic designs and the US release is just the main character front and center with barely anything in the background. It's nowhere near that bad, I just don't like it as much as the older one.

It's an interesting idea to add a gun, but I hope that they balance it out to keep the lightsaber combat as the star instead of the blaster becoming dominant.

Although if Cal does ditch his lightsaber to focus on the blaster, then he can fully do Kyle Katarn's character development in reverse and his final act can be to steal the Death Star plans.

ninjahedgehog posted:

They did add variety. Maybe there can be more gangs or bounty hunters to break up the stormtrooper battles instead.

I saw this cool speculation in the wake of that leak. Since that first trailer featured this heavily urban world, it might be that Cal really does go into a heavily civilian environment like many of us hoped he would. But in such an environment, fighting with a lightsaber is probably a no-go. So the blaster might be the alternative weapon you use when you can't reveal that you're a Jedi.

I want to warn you fellers
And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing
A woman and a gun

I imagine the blaster being a bit like the pistol in the pirate assassins creed game I played where you can be partying one dude then shoot a dude attacking you from behind then disarm the first dude. Another tool to break up the lightsaber combat in addition to force powers.

Robot Style

The trailer also had a character who had gotten ahold of Cal's saber, so maybe they do go full Jedi Outcast and he doesn't even have it to start, and just keeps using a blaster alongside it when he gets it back.
