Game size has become a bit of a theme on here lately, which of course is only a reflection of what's going on in the industry. Feels like there's a growing appetite for smaller games yet the 'more is more' mentality is still strong among both devs and players.

Who needed 2024 anyway?

I guess it’ll depend on what’s on those planets. Have they shown what the gameplay is yet?

They have indeed. The combat looks a little too reminiscent of Battlefront, but first impressions of the exploration are very promising.

Is that a bad thing re. Battlefront? I thought the first of the newer releases was really fun.

I also really enjoyed it for a while, but the combat always felt a little clunky compared to other shooters. To be fair, I guess that's only right when you're playing stormtroopers

I saw a really interesting fan theory re stormtroopers' inaccuracy the other day that kinda blew my mind.

Remember: the Empire put a tracking device on the Millennium Falcon so they could follow it to the Rebel base they'd been unable to find. So the whole time they want the heroes to escape and survive. Leia says as much when they fend off the TIE fighters. Stands to reason then that the stormtroopers within the Death Star itself are also secretly trying not to kill them.

As with most fan theories on beloved cult IPs... I like it; I don't buy it.

It also doesn't explain this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBQaLuqwtl8&ab_channel=MarkAnthonyZammit

The stealthing looks alright, the shooting looks decent. I’m not sure if they mesh with the scale of world they’re promising?

I'm cautiously optimistic about development so far, but I'm also ready to have my heart broken
