At EA Play 2019, a pre-E3 2019 event put on by game publisher EA, Respawn Entertainment took the stage to unveil our first look at Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay, while a new trailer premiered the day after (see above). I wasn’t initially sold on the game from the reveal trailer, but after nearly 15 minutes of gameplay (see below), I managed to more than fall in love with the game, while Game Informer’s cover story on the game blew the lid off some intriguing new details cementing my excitement for my game. But that wasn’t the only gaming news: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which covers the main 9 saga films, was announced! Continue reading “E3 2019: Jedi: Fallen Order Gameplay, New Details Revealed, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Announced”
Our first look at this year’s Jedi: Fallen Order comes in the form of a CGI trailer, which both has raised my anticipation for the first single-player only game in almost a decade (Battlefront II‘s had a GREAT story, but gameplay left a little to be desired) but it has also given me some apprehension for the experience. Fallen Order comes from Respawn Entertainment, home of the Titanfall franchise, which includes Titanfall 1/2 and Apex Legends, of which the single-player mode for Titanfall 2 was far better than it deserved to be, even despite its brevity, so I’m not terribly concerned with the gameplay and pacing of this game. When Fallen Order lead Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan) wall runs at one point in the trailer, that’s a popular move from the Titanfall games because the main character had a jump pack that allowed them to pull off awesome stunts, so this’ll be a fun game to play, no matter what. However, the concerns it raised were two fold, which I’ll get into a little more under the cut: 1) It gave off a little too much of a The Force Unleashed vibe, which overpowering Jedi just to give players a power trip just doesn’t feel right anymore when Jedi Master Luke Skywalker does the most badass Jedi thing ever by not fighting. 2) I’ve never watched Shameless (shame on me), but I absolutely loved Cameron Monaghan in Gotham, back when I was still watching the show, and felt he’d be a great Joker, but making the main character a plain white dude is rather disappointing when basically all the Jedi (seen on screen in shows/movies) who survived Order 66 are other dudes. The first concern was tempered by the panel/cliff notes version at the official site, and regardless I’m still anticipating the game, but I’ll be a little cautious about it when it launches November 15, 2019. I go into a little more detail below, as well as dig into the identity of the Second Sister Inquisitor chasing Cal, as well as some screenshots from the trailer.

At the annual gaming convention expo E3, video game publisher EA kicked off the festivities with their EA Play showcase, revealing sparse details and a title for Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming Star Wars game, first teased to have lightsaber wielding characters in 2016. Titled Jedi: Fallen Order, the game takes place shortly after Revenge of the Sith, following a surviving Padawan, and it’ll release Holiday 2019 (there’s already a website). With Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019 happening in April 2019, I’d say that would be our best bet to finally get footage and more specific details about the game.
