@@quentinh3140 The problem with “surprise drops” is that marketing (the number 1 strategy needed for generating hype and producing sales) is nonexistent, thus resulting in low hype and low sales. Marketing is arguably the most important part in a game’s development. Look at Cyberpunk for example. The game was a flop on all technical levels imaginable, but it sold MILLIONS…all because it managed to keep and maintain its hype for several years.

Find it hard to believe you’ve never heard of SEO (search engine optimization).

For game leaks I like to wait for official confirmation. Then I become mildly hopeful. A month or two after release when the reviews and playthroughs say it lives up to expectations (how often does that happen?) I'll get excited.

Me and my brother were talking about all the possibilities and stuff we can do, we were geeking out for hours over a stupid leak/rumor lmao

Luke: Star Wars! Me: Yay! Luke: Ubisoft, Massive Entertainment Me: And like that you've lost me.

A new Star Wars game every six months sounds like a nightmare for quality control. I get that different studios work on different games, but I don't think Disney can keep that many irons in that many fires and have them all come out very good.

I was just recently playing through Fallen Order again as well. IT had its frustrations, but I can play with that combat side mode for hours and even better when you run the mod that allows you to place as many units as you like.

In 2018 they released a game with this tech for the switch called starlink. Not quite as big but you where a space ship able to travel between different planets "seamlessly"

I mean, that makes sense coming from Ubisoft, considering they were planning on doing that same thing with Good Beyond & Evil 2.

The tech created in BGE 2 for apparently seamlessly going from one planet to another is very very very likely not used by Massive for their SW games, those are 2 completely different games developed by different teams and using different engines, it's not because those are 2 Ubisoft projects that it will magically transfer from one game to another. Maybe Massive is working on a tech that will allow to do the same than what bge apparently does but for sure this has not been transferred from bge to sw

That's funny what you said about people saying 'luke I am your father to you' I have a similar problem with Jake from State Farm, only I can't say I'm a big fan of the insurance commercials.

Wait for them to tie the Galactic Starcruiser into the plot to boost their hotel sales. Disney+Ubisoft? Check, please.

They should just hire modders. Battlefront started as a battlefield 1942 mod called galactic conquest, a year later the original BF was announced and had a galactic conquest mode.
