The saddest part is that all of these ideas and mechanics are now possible to implement and improve but the industry and most of the players are obssesed with ultra tealistic graphics, competitive multiplayer and microtransactions, we have the power to create a genuinely fun and immersive star wars experience with huge maps, space to ground combat and a great story but we choose the generic cash grabbin' formula over and over again, I really wouldn't mind if the game looks like a 7th generation title if the gameplay is sólid, the scale is massive and the action feels like a real conflict, we're missing a great opportunity just for the shallowness of "new generation standards" I think there's a middle ground we can use to create something really amazing.

I think Free Radical's ambitions far outstripped what they were capable of at the time. It was clear from the leaked developer build of BF3 that FR was looking to make the biggest and most comprehensive Star Wars game ever...the thing that seemed to kill the dev team in the end was that they forgot how increasingly grander ambitions can quickly spiral, which then leads to missed deadlines and budget guidelines

@Julius-nf8dg 2 ай бұрын

Hey, i just started a re-reading of the Star Wars Legends books and i just rediscovered my love for the early to mid star wars era Since your question spiked my interest i also looked up the facts. AFAIK there is no more precise remark when BF 3 ends, but we know that the 2nd DS is destroyed 4y ABY (after the Battle of Yavin) and the Yuuzhan Vong (YZV) War starts in 25y ABY. In Legends 5y after Return of the Jedi the new enemy is grand Admiral Thrawn, who returns from the unknown regions. That might be the point where it get's tricky because Luke 'officially' (acc. to legends) starts his training academy on Yavin after the grand Admiral is defeated. He is pretty reluctant in excepting his Role as Jedi Master. At least this is what the original Legends says. Most of this was written even before the Prequel Movies were released. I bring all of this up because the YZV conceptually originated in this era and was continuied after the prequels came out. To answer your Question. In my Opinion, if we consider the development of Luke's character, it would make more sense to bring the ending of BF III more to the start of YZV Invasion but if we look more at the original Thrawn the sweetspot would be more like 3y after RoJ I see it this way. Many brilliant peoples contributed in many awesome ways to the Star Wars expanded universe and it would be spectacular if everything would align perfectly but it does not always. Can it be great fun? Absolutely! Hopefully this is somewhat helpful :)
