EA are now not the one firm with the keys to Star Wars. Ubisoft are engaged on an open-world Star Wars recreation, and we have some concepts about what we might like from that. However what else would you wish to see finished with the licence now that it is freed from EA’s maintain?
Ought to there be extra video games like Republic Commando? A recreation about your favourite secondary character? Extra of the bizarre shit? Or ought to they only make Knight of the Previous Republic 3 already?
What’s your dream Star Wars recreation?
Listed here are our solutions, plus a couple of from our discussion board.
Dave James: I might like to see one thing set far into the longer term from the present Star Wars mythos, one thing that enables the writers and the sport to be freed from the constraints of the film trilogies. And I need to be an alien. I am sick of Star Wars video games all the time having some bland white boi as the primary protagonist when there are a wealth of different sentient beings populating the galaxy.
I nonetheless need the Pressure to play an element in it, and I might have an interest to take the journey of a Pressure-sensitive youth simply discovering some latent powers and having to resolve what to do with them with out being pressured down a selected route due to the narrative. Do you go down the warrior monk route, begging to be apprenticed to some goodie-twelve-shoes (aliens, see), do you go full-on Sith and search out some darkish grasp, or do you go rogue and attempt to search a steadiness inside the Pressure, inside your self?
And I need a spaceship. Finally.
Andy Kelly: Pink Useless Redemption, however on Tatooine. A blaster as an alternative of a six-shooter; a speeder as an alternative of a horse; spaceports as an alternative of cities. Assume that episode of The Mandalorian the place Timothy Olyphant performs the sheriff of a small desert city. I wanna drift between settlements, get into adventures, meet shady characters in cantinas, and customarily be an area cowboy. A easy man making his manner via the galaxy.
The Mandalorian already established {that a} Star Wars Western each works and kicks ass, so I might like to see that translated into an open world recreation with the same tempo and vibe to Pink Useless. A Star Wars recreation set on one planet, the place you play as somebody who has no need to go away it. Regardless that Tatooine is arguably overused as a setting, it is nonetheless one among my favorite fictional locations, and I might like to see it from the angle of somebody who is not a Jedi or on a quest to avoid wasting the universe.
Graeme Meredith: I believed the story of Star Wars Squadrons was fairly pathetic, however I like leaping on-line and “capturing the shit” with a buddy whereas we get repeatedly destroyed by far superior gamers. So, if Motive needed to do the very same recreation once more, however with podracing, I might be fairly stoked. Narrative apart, with the ability to sit within the cockpit of a customized pod, with these engine sound results blasting away, enjoying the entire thing in VR… yeah, I might make a responsible pleasure of that earlier than you may say “now that is (a superficial however in any other case very fulfilling simulation of) podracing”.
Robin Valentine: It is obtained to be bounty looking, proper? An open world set on a dirty Outer Rim planet rife with crime and corruption and crawling with vibrant targets so that you can seek out and seize utilizing an arsenal of enjoyable devices and weapons. I might love if it was actually open and systems-driven, possibly even with procedurally-generated targets—half Hitman, half Deus Ex, half Shadow of Mordor—although I believe only a secure however slick action-adventure might be the extra sensible hope. Jedis and spaceship battles are all nicely and good, however everyone knows essentially the most enjoyable is discovered within the shadowy corners of the Star Wars universe.
Wealthy Stanton: Assume Robin’s nailed it, I might wish to seek out numerous galactic miscreants and ultimately Jedi/Sith in a co-op bounty looking group. Set it any time you want however simply have the participant in the course of the great vs evil stuff and utterly amoral, chasing down and capturing/killing whoever and no matter anybody pays for. I need it to be about making a dwelling amidst a loopy house battle, blasting bounties, and utilizing a lot of cool devices I have never seen earlier than. What I do not need is one more recreation about what Darth Vader or whoever did in a beforehand unexplored month within the canon.
Christopher Livingston: Loss of life Star simulator. I need to construct and handle a Loss of life Star. Handle the price range, analysis tech (like, how does the Loss of life Star even fly round and stuff?), rent contractors, overwork stormtroopers, force-strangle unproductive officers, threaten planets for assets, torture rebels in holding cells, defend in opposition to X-Wing assaults (and possibly a construct a display screen over the exhaust port?), and endure visits from the Emperor. You possibly can begin with slightly bitty Loss of life Star that is solely the dimensions of Epcot Middle and might solely blow up small neighborhoods, and add on layers till it is a lot greater and might destroy planets.
James Davenport: SCS Software program’s Jawa Sandcrawler Simulator. Think about: Roaming Tatooine in that honking factor, choosing up droids and breaking them down (useful or not), flipping the elements to nomads to replenish on big-ass hair eggs to maintain your Jawas fed. Orange yolk everywhere in the cloaks and the goddamn ground—the odor in that factor would make Vader puke his guts out. Dream recreation!
Morgan Park: Three phrases: Loss of life Star Shipbreaker. I need to methodically slice up the entire scrapped metal and electronics from the varied Loss of life Stars, identical to I’ve already finished for hours in Hardspace: Shipbreaker. It is a dream job, actually. Perhaps I might discover Darth Vader’s lightsaber among the many wreckage to hurry up the slicing course of? Oh, and you might ship out droids to create piles of scrap routinely or extract an explosive reactor from a secure distance! I’ve to cease speaking about this or I will get obsessed.
Jody Macgregor: Take the Imperial Agent storyline from The Previous Republic. Strip out all of that MMO cruft. Put it right into a stealth recreation with a number of choices for approaching every stage. Let me play an immersive sim about being a spy for the Empire who is likely to be a double agent, or a triple agent, or so messed-up by brainwashing I do not even know who I am actually working for.
drunkpunk: Star Wars Galaxies with a contemporary UI and management scheme, pre-CU however with JTL. They stunning a lot nailed not solely the very best star wars recreation and world, but in addition the very best MMO mechanics I had ever skilled. The give attention to every thing else that made the SW universe nice that weren’t jedi was incredible, the liberty to combine and match professions added a ton of flexibility, and stuff like participant constructed and pushed cities was forward of its time. In addition they did not depend on each iconic star wars character you have seen within the motion pictures to create their expertise. To have one other Star Wars expertise like that is my dream.
One other one can be revisiting the Jedi Knight/Academy video games. That they had wonderful gameplay that I once more take into account forward of its time. At the very least, no studio has appeared to method it with the identical fashion of gameplay. As a substitute we get boring stuff like Fallen Order (which wasn’t ‘even a star wars recreation initially) or Pressure Unleashed, which simply pales compared with reference to gameplay.
Or perhaps a correct successor to X-Wing vs TIE Fighter can be nice. Squadrons simply is not it.
LucasArts had such incredible success with Star Wars video games, and I believe it was as a result of they targeted a lot on offering nice gameplay, not simply cinematic nostalgia journeys.
Zloth: Star Wars: Insurrection 2 (see the primary entry on the bizarre checklist). Simply go forward and make it flip based mostly this time as an alternative of time-limited turns. For fight, see if you are able to do one thing like Battlestar Galactica Impasse’s house fight system. If that may’t be finished, do it Homeworld fashion.
badman: A correct successor for X-Wing Alliance. Yeah, we obtained Squadrons, but it surely’s probably not just like the outdated X-Wing and Tie-Fighter video games. I imply: a spacecombatgame with a hard and fast battlefield in a SP marketing campaign???
A brand new Jedi Knight recreation can be nice. Lightsaber fight was very good in Jedi Academy, however what we actually want is the incredible ranges from the earlier Jedi video games: Darkish Forces 1/2 and Jedi Outcast. These had been the very best of the very best. I nonetheless have not discovered all of the secrets and techniques in these video games, not to mention explored each inch. Masterfully put collectively.
Pifanjr: I would love to play a Star Wars recreation that is like Mass Impact…
I ought to actually get round enjoying KotOR a while.
Greyfoxcal: One thing like a contemporary KotoR (by no means performed it, however I belief it is good) + the fight from Fallen order can be nice.
Simply gimme a ship to potter about in!
Additionally, let me stroll across the ship whereas it is shifting, ala Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
