We’ve written quite a bit here about the Star Wars games, at least for now. 22q2g
On May 6, 2013, Disney and Electronic Arts announced that the two companies had signed a ten-year fans the way that we had hoped.
Kotaku recently published a piece that talks about this exact problem – EA’s Troubled Decade of Star Wars Games.
Here’s part of what they had to say:
“game resurgence.
Nearly six years later, that resurgence has not happened. While Disney’s new Star Wars movies (and cartoons) are generally great, the Wars Battlefront and its catastrophic sequel, Star Wars Battlefront II, which epitomized the worst habits of modern gaming with its to pay-to-win mechanics, discovered as the game was in beta. Those mechanics proved so controversial that EA stripped them from the game before it even came out.”
You can head over and read the full piece for yourself, but to touch on that aspect for a bit. What gives EA? You got us all excited about new, exciting games and you let us down!
What happened to all those ambitious Star Wars plans? They talked about so much and then it just seemed like delay after delay, and shut down after shut down.
There are projects currently in the pipeline, but so many of them seem to be getting cut before they ever come to fruition. It’s a disappointing path for what has so much potential.
I Think of all the great Star Wars games we might have now, were that a possibility.
At this point we have to wonder if this will continue after the exclusivity dsee happen?
