Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Official Gameplay Reveal

I really want to like it... buuuuuut... the combat is just so slow and it feels like there isn't any tension. Slowing down time would be neat if there were any actual challenge already, but from what we saw it was completely unnecessary. Then there's the lack of limbs or anything getting cut off when dammit it's a fucking lightsaber!

It would've been so cool if this mission started off as you using the force to get yourself into the complex. Maybe use a disguise and trick people ala A New Hope. You know, some of that "Not the droid and hip young Jedi you are looking for" action.

This is just kind of meh overall, and doesn't show case anything in particular that is gonna wow you. Everything is just serviceable. I feel so spoiled looking at graphics and saying that, but at the end of the day, it's about gameplay.

Holy shit though those Wookies look hilarious lmao

The negativity in the first posts.... Am I on ResetEra... Let me check... Nope...

Come on guys... Looks dope and more or less like 1313 with a light saber... Everyone was sad when it was canned and now this....I’m puzzled...

Well, I’ll preorder once a Steelbook version is available. Loving what I saw.

Negativity? Is. Just reality. It looks awful, generic as f**k. You are just in denial.

We're in a new age now, where any post you don't agree with is obviously material from Era.

Hitting pretty much all the stuff I dont want in a SW game and looks as generic as expected. The main character seems likable though. Still a pass for me.

Yep, in one of the segments the player is fighting against stormtroopers and the blaster bolts fly so slowly -- without Jedi powers -- that a walking strafe at about 15 feet away is enough to dodge them.

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
Star Wars mixed with a bit of Uncharted, Sekiro/Souls, 1313, with amazing graphics and sound.
What more do people want?. I mean i would of preferred an open world RPG, but we already knew we werent getting that.
You did see how bad the wookies looked right?

I like the visuals but that’s pretty much it.

Was hoping for a spiritual successor to Jedi Knight but this looks way more like the force unleashed.

AI seems to be entirely absent. But aight it’s an alpha.

Also it looks like it’s pg13

Overall meh

I thought it looked fun. Been wanting a single player Star Wars and this seems to check all boxes. It looks pretty, has some cool lightsaber action, so I´m definitely in for this, although not for full price.

I rate it 6/10
I hate force inflation and this guy got the skills surpassing an Episode 1-2-3 jedi. Even a localized time stop force power.

Except the combat is no where near as intense or fun as Sekiro/Souls.

This...looks...great.

Absolutely the kind of game I want, love and am impressed is coming from EA. It is 1313 at the end of the gen and if the combat, Jedi skills and level progression plays out like this, I will be stoked. The shift to Unreal Engine 4 has helped here but I love the fact Respawn have kept the 60fps aim on target with the X footage, they are EA new star team it seems.

Doesn't look horrible, but it doesn't look great. I'll probably pass on this, but it's worth waiting to read review opinions.

The devs saying that you can't go dark side because the main character has to fulfill a certain roll. That comes of as that disney/lucasfilm dictating what the charretar can and can't be. So he can be used in other media.
Why does every character need to be a "Choose your own adventure" book? I mean a good moral choice system can be cool, but it doesn't need to be in EVERYTHING.

Jesus, do any of you actually like videogames?

Hmmm, It's looks okay for me if this kind of game been released at 2010.
I wonder what target market of this kind of "cinematic games" now? teenager? casual? normies?.
On technical level it's look amazing, very good graphic etc but does not have any substance, very simple and shallow gameplay.
I guess maybe I'm playing too much of Miyazaki-san games these days.

Difficulty was obviously at a minimum and the player character overpowered.

Come on guys, how are you even remotely surprised by this?

There is no way you’ll be able to one hit every single storm trooper and kill the Sith dudes with 3 hits except if you perhaps choose the baby difficulty at the beginning.

Why are they prioritizing frame rate over graphics in a single player game on consoles? The graphics look really weak and the animations are rough.

I felt nothing for it. Visually it looks great, but the lightsabre behaved like a glow stick. I'm sure it'd be fun enough to play, but I feel like I've seen this before.

It looked good but I'm not very excited. I wish you could cut limbs off with the lightsaber. Also it looked a bit too linear. I hope there will be parts without action in the game. Would be great to be able to walk around Coruscant or Mos Eisley and talk to people.

People have referenced Star Wars 1313. There was a Star Wars game where they had a quick teaser several years ago, I think Jade Raymond may have been the presenter? They showed a few stills. Was that Star Wars 1313 or was that a whole other Star Wars game entirely?

Unfortunately, it's not the same dev team as Titan Fall 2. That was a very good single player campaign. I will get it, but I don't expect to be surprised by it as I was Titanfall 2.

Looks good. Hope they have a CE for it. Always wanted a Star Wars game with a good story. Haven't got that recently.

I kind of felt like the developers banked on us being wowed by the fact that this is a Star Wars single player game.

It's not completely terrible just feels so uninspired.

I'm moderately interested in the story(not the main character)but the combat just looks like a slog of basic checking all the boxes with uncharted platforming mixed with "oh heres a perfectly positioned thing to force push" to proceed across this chasm. Okay.

The kylo ren force powers are painfully obvious ripoff. Not sure why he even has those powers. We've never seen the stuff kylo ren was doing then suddenly a random padawan has those powers too.
