Dolby Atmos support for Xbox/Windows or a completely missed opportunity.
Not entirely sure about this - was hoping for more of a Rogue Squadron game but seems it maybe a token Campaign with a bigger focus on 5v5 MP...
Will wait to see more - game-play coming on Thursday...
If this harkens back to the og x-wing, tie fighter and x-wing v tie fighter games, I’M IN.
I wish Disney would take the shakles off and allow there to just be two Star Wars canon. The old expanded universe and the new Disney Wars. Because I absolutely LOVE the former and can't stand the latter.
But furthermore, if they did that, they could revive the Rogue Squadron series, or remaster KOTOR 1 and 2, or even make a KOTOR 3. We could get new Jedi Academy games or Empire at War 2!
I always wanted a Star Wars game set during the New Jedi Order books! I dreamed, literally dreamed of it for years!
By abandoning the old Expanded Universe they are throwing away a huge wealth of potential content for games and merchandise because they think fans are too stupid to understand there being two different timelines.
Ask Marvel and DC fans, different timeline/universes aren't that strange.
Personally, if you ask me, they know their new canon just isn't as good as the old EU, even despite some of the consistency problems the EU had. But I'm openly biased.
