Star Wars would be a good fit for FD.
FDev licences new IP for 2021 game, starts dev later in 2019
- Thread starter StuartGT
- Start date
No snark involved here purely question but ... why?
They aren't known for heavily story driven games. The SW franchise demands experience with this I think. Its anyones argument as to whether any studio has succeeded with this since Jedi Academy series however.
Anyway I'm not sure that it's a good fit and I'd doubt they are doing anything with this franchise.
The X-Wing and Tie Fighter games wouldn’t be too different from current SLF flying, they’d just need the ability to angle deflector shields. A remake of those two plus X-Wing Alliance, using Cobra engine? I bet they’d shift a few copies.
Tie Fighter had a cracking story, fun to see the bad guys’ perspective for a change.
I concur, the space combat is arguably Elites strongest point. I often wonder as I play Elite how cool it would be if I was in a YT1300.
No way!!! First Dysney and now FD...Rip SW.
When they have all the mechanics in place (and they work with some kind of common, cohesive sense instead of being the hot mess it is now), they would be crazy not to release a series of story based campaigns. They could probably make that another 5 years of ED.
Perphaps FD should just cut out the middle part and proceed to making hotcakes instead!
Oooooh, how about a Dune remake but this time you can fly the ornithopters and ride the Makers for real.Dune 2 remake.
Now I’ve got the music in my head, I think I’ll be flashing up dosBox tonight!
Star Trek: Discovery?
I don't know, I play neither of those games, but on the surface I think a dinosaur mgmt game vs a roller coaster game would appeal to 2 different tastes, whereas spaceship piloting vs different spaceship piloting would appeal to the same type of person.
Unless the SW game is a RTS...

Fixed, since it's all wild speculation, why not?
The new IP is a star wars RTS, with dune worm riding, and pancakes, sprinkled with piloting tie fighters, that can use a spore drive to travel large distances, then space walking, and stealing other ships by dueling with light sabers.

Loved those old games - still have my boxed copy of X-Wing, X-Wing Alliance, and a few more. Would be so cool to get an 21st century version
And imagine all the money to be made with green laser beams for TIEs and red ones for X-Wings.
And don't tell me you wouldn't love to fly a golden TIE-Defender...
