Pay Elite Dangerous people to make new TIE Fighter

There is no good reason they haven’t already made a VR-capable Elite Dangerous style Star Wars with Dark Forces inspired planet levels.
I’m watching my partner play it and pretending i think it’s a movie like that misogynistic uncharted 2 ad from 2009
It’s a deep cut but she got it

Tbh this recalls the time I was playing Uncharted 3 and my mom walked into the room during a cutscene and she was like “Oh wow, these have like, real stories now?”

honestly I’ll probably buy this when it gets cheap and play through it for some shallow entertainment. nothing about it looks amazing but I’d probably just still enjoy it as a pick up and play, turn your brain off kind of experience

same. I will do what I did with Spider-Man and buy it for $20 a year from now and inhale it over the course of a week and totally get my money’s worth

It’s good so far. I’m at the first planet and just learned wall running. I’m on the “normal” difficulty level (number two of four) and there are already enemies I can’t just button mash my way through. Combat really is built around parrying and blocking and waiting for your opening to attack.
it’s become fashionable to say something “feels” like a PS2-era game but this one seems like it’s doing that in earnest, which has me really excited. I’ll have to read some more reviews and see why the reaction has been somewhat negative but of the ones I’ve seen so far, the major complaints are that the story isn’t up to standard (lol) along with some difficulty spikes during the endgame, and a fair amount of backtracking (snore).
A PS2 game?
It looks like a very obvious blend of Uncharted, new Tomb Raider, and Dark Souls. This is a PS3 game all the way.

the game’s tutorial plays out through a set piece that should be familiar to you if you played the uncharted games… and there is definitely a lot of climbing. so yeah basically a ps3 game.

They do a really neat thing in the tutorial, where they don’t show the button prompt for jumping, sidling, crouching, and the like, unless the player waits for about 5 seconds. So a player familiar with genre standards experiences it closer to the platform & talk segment it ideally plays as.
On the other hand, they’re as terrified of puzzles as any focus-tested AAA game, and pop up ‘Need a hint? D-PAD DOWN’ every 15 seconds in ‘puzzle rooms’.
Everyone’s anxious and unsure of themselves in their own ways…

i like this game as a souls lite/uncharted esque bad pizza type of game but it’s really just making me want to finally play dks2 which is the only souls game i haven’t beaten

Gosh I dunno, it’s way too meticulously crafted to regard as trash in my opinion. I honestly don’t have any complaints; it’s the most accomplished souls clone on the market right now. For anyone on this board, the only way you should play it is on Jedi Grandmaster, on any other difficulty setting it probably is bad pizza but at the highest setting it’s a Fromsoft game.
I think this is something of their hallmark as a studio. Titanfall is a kinetically luxurious successor Call of Duty with a dizzying skill ceiling but it’s aesthetically alienating to vidconossieurs and CoD players can’t hang with the Y-axis.
Then they made Apex and caved in the skill ceiling with demolition charges
Likewise, Fallen Order is too Metroid Prime tacky for true doom FROM heads
I’m pretty happy that I’ve managed to turn opinion around and convince everyone at my studio that Fallen Order has terrible combat; it makes my job much easier to have a pile of failures to point at
