I want a Stars Wars Bloodborne like

Just imagine how amazing this could be. An old republic Jedi crash landed on a planet controlled by the Sith. You can go force power (like magic builds in Dark Souls) or blade focused. Single, dual-blade or double wielding lightsabers. Blasters or force powers working like the guns in Bloodborne.

Exploring plains and jungles filled with Star Wars creatures, Sith temples, cities, capital ships. Boss fights with Sith Lords, Rancors, Mandalorians. Its a setting that would work perfectly for a Souls like game and lightsabers could actually be lethally effective for once.

Sadly it will probably never happen.

Said it yourself.

I was thinking about this as well the other day. A Souls like Jedi game would and could be mindblowing but I don't see From ever doing something like this. Star Wars is too casual. Real shame.
 
No probably about it, it will never happen.
It would be great.
Alot of franchises would be great with a serious gritty Bloodborne brutal approach.
But then it would be watered down and would not be special anymore.
 
I was actually thinking about how dope a Star Wars From game would be. They could totally nail the weighty, brutal feeling of lightsaber combat. Or they should just do a samurai game.
 
I want a Star Wars Bayonetta like more!
Haven't played The Force Unleashed games.

Edit.: On second thought: I want a Star Wars Revengeance!
 
Mandalorians don't exist anymore.

Edit: Nvm they do I think. Star Wars wiki lied to me by not updating their article.
 
Maybe it's been a while since I've played Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy, but this sounds almost like a hypothetical re-imagining of that game/series.

I can see the connections~
 
This sounds stupid. I'd rather have a Platinum Game action romp in the Star Wars universe be it as Darth Maul, Bounty Hunters or whatever they could come up think of that works.

Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy are still some of the most fun Star Wars games to play with great action.
 
What you really want is readable combat animation and commitment to player actions. It doesn't even need to be unforgiving.

"by Platinum" and "like Bloodborne" are both pretty cliche choices for everything nowadays.
 
The point of the souls games is the enemies work on the same rules as the player character. That's not how it goes in star wars at all
 
I just want a star wars jedi-academy like.

Unfortunately, we're far more likely to have a star wars-like souls game.

That's not how the souls games work. Well, if it is, I'd like to know how I could jump around like a badass the way Artorias does.
 
Basically you want a challenging game that does not fall to AAA dreck in the star wars universe.

Is that what people mean?

Also, I do not like the idea of a blaster being only useful to help engage in melee. Blasters should be more lethal than light sabres.
 
It could just be Star Wars inspired rather then specifically based on the licence. A futuristic Souls style game would be cool, and as Bloodborne has established you could make the melee weapons vastly more powerful then any guns to preserve the gameplay. Its just now the melee weapons are energy swords or whatever futuristic looking melee stuff the dev can think up.
 
I hate this horrible trend of making every game like every other game. They should come up with their own stuff, not just copying other games successes
 
I just want a sci-fi Souls game. I'm really curious to see what the aesthetic would be like. Dark Souls is weird mix of town to Earth ye old times and traditional fantasy elements, and Bloodborne is spooky period horror movie cliches mixed with nightmarish cosmic horror.

I would think sci-fi Souls would have a similarly fresh mix, and not just be a rehash of existing mecha anime, western power armor, or Star Wars-y fantasy-in-scifi aesthetics
 
Nothing about Star Wars gels with Souls to me, it's not a good fit at all.

If I'm a Jedi, I wanna be a badass. Nothing about the Souls games makes you feel like a badass, in fact it's kinda the point that you're just another pawn of the system.

I never want anything to "work" like the guns in Bloodborne, especially not force powers or other weapons with proven utility.

THIS.
There is so much potential to do so many things with Star Wars. This is why I hope EA doesn't reboot any more of the old Star Wars games and they probably won't. It would be a wasted opportunity if EA did that, one of the reasons why I'm excited for that Han Solo game.

I mean Soul Wars would be awesome but I would rather something fresh.
 
I was JUST thinking this playing through the Bloodborne DLC.

When I'm walking around in my black cloak with my Tonitrus, I pretty much feel like a sith.

From would nail the gameplay and atmosphere without a doubt.
 
People said an FF7 remake would never happen too. Neogaf has more than 150,000 members though, if we all signed an online petition asking Disney to let From make a Star Wars game then they might actually let it happen. We could even just ask them to make a Kickstarter for the game.

But unfortunately we gaffers are too lazy to petition Disney for something we want.

I don't really care for Platinum games but I can't think of a Western studio that could do justice to the Jedi Knight series.

All I really want is a Star Wars RPG by Obsidian and Avellone at the helm.

I'm pretty sure it would take millions of signatures for Disney to noticed such a petition. 150,000 is literally nothing and this is assuming EVERYONE here would want a game like this, which is far from reality.

And even then, it would be absolutely pointless like every online petition out there. Disney does what Disney wants. Fanboys will eat it up anyways.

So do I, but then there are not many games that play anything like Souls so its not that bad an idea, and Souls has never been in a setting like this so it would still be somewhat fresh. If Souls style ever gets overdone like cover shooters then yes we have a problem then.

Sure but that doesn't make the games canon.
They have already said all the games are non canon.

All Star Wars games, comics, novels and other expanded media have been designated non-canon by Lucasfilm.

In a newly published statement on the matter, Lucasfilm makes it unequivocal that there are only seven products in the Star Wars universe that should be considered canon; the six films, along with The Clone Wars TV show.
