I'm simping hard for this game. Please, EA, don't fuck this up like you always did before...

Respawn is pretty solid. I don't think they've ever made a bad game.
I'm reading the Battle Scars novel right now it's canon and it takes place "years before Jedi Survivor", it's got a trans(??? Maybe the thing identifies as a SHE and has a chest "as flat as Cal's" when it has it's shirt off)/lezbo thing going on with Merrin... so yea. There are completely out of place steamy PG-13 lezbo sex scenes that end before the really heavy parts begin. They also try to recreate the "love in a tense situation" Luke/Leia thing with Merrin that char too.
Overall it's a decent quick read, lots of shit dies, there's a frustrating "BUT DUUUR I'M A GOOD JEDI" bit that leads to trouble for the team.
I was worried that it was going to turn into Guardians of the Galaxy with the "quirky" mix they've got there. It's not quite there yet though.

If it helps, writer of this novel apparently wasn't involved with Survivor's story. She apparently was one of writers for KotOR's Remake though

I would treat it as just a tie-in than anything. And it's not like other medias contradicted these canon novels already in some little forms or another. Battlefront 2 also had a novel that was marketed as a prequel to the game and I don't think anything from it was even referenced in-game
Ahsoka novel is also a good example.
One of the recent animated series - Tales of the Jedi - basically retconned entire novel out, using a very same story and telling it in a much different way

Look at how they delayed it out of the fiscal year March release that ruined Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem releases.
Vince has a lot more say now over at EA, and this shows that they are willing to delay big games now. At least when it comes to Respawn games. DICE and Bioware might be another story.

Yeah, I was surprised that the Battlefront 2 game storyline really didn't have much to do with the book because I thought Battlefront II: Inferno Squad by Christie Golden was a pretty great sci-fi book. (The novel's backstory helped establish the game's generally neglected side characters, but even after reading the book first, I kind of had to flip back and say, "Ok, this game character is supposed to be this one or who...")

Why the f do we have release dates for trailers? Do they seriously expect people to be hyped for a 3 minute video of an above average souls clone? I wouldn't even be hyped for a from soft trailer unless it was a gameplay reveal of new ip.

Announcing a release date for a trailer? That was cool with GTA4…

Looks freaking fantastic to me.
Visually it's a huge upgrade over the first one.

Oaky this actually looks pretty damn good.

Yup fully agree.
I think the earlier trailers didnt show the graphical upgrades, this trailer better showed the enhancements.
Really looking forward to this.

Will the lightsaber be a glow-stick baseball bat again? Or will it actually cut through and kill stuff easily - like the deadly weapons they are supposed to be? No interest in giving health bars a beat down. I'll stick to JKII and JKA.

Definitely enjoyed the first game. I will get this for sure, but now it's a question of when. Zero chance for me at $70.

Very hype love the first one. Probably the best star wars since KoToR
awesome art direction levels of detail and production quality really top notch but the gameplay comes out shallow, not sure because it has to be friendly to minors or just a design decision... it just feels like its constrained and not free flowing or action packed like assassins creed games or uncharted or maybe ive been spoiled by past ea titles like 007 games on ps2

First one is awesome, and I couldn't be anymore moist than I am right now for the second one.
