IGN Link, no GS Link right now.

“What Warner Bros. did with Batman was take the core roots of that IP and manifest that inside the walls of Gotham City and delivered an interactive experience that had real ties to what you would see in the films and what you had read in the comics, while having its own life because it could provide such deep and more immersive storylines,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson told Fortune Tech. “When we look at the Star Wars properties that’s how we’re looking at it. We’re not trying to build a game that replicates the storyline of any particular film.”

And for the reading averse...

Absolutely. The Star Wars universe is stupidly rich, given the comics/movies/books/etc/etc that have been done over the past 30-40 years. There is a shitton they can do with it... Hell, look at The Clone Wars show, which was based between Ep 2 and 3.

That's pretty much how Star Wars games always are though. Few are actually based off the movies directly, and the ones that are typically suck.

I don't give a damn about what you model them after, EA. Still wouldn't buy your Star Wars games after what happened to Sim City last year.

While I hate Star Wars movies, most of SW games are actually quality and the franchise needs to be put back on track.

I'll start caring once they provide with some footage or at least a trailer, tell then EA you are "all talk and no show".

Starwars games have been doing this for decades long before Arkham.

It's EA, these new titles will all be shitty over monetized action games that don't hold a candle to the classic titles.

To be honest while I hope they follow the dedication to world and environment building, I honestly hope they do not take the game play. They already made far more awesome lightsaber controls like a decade ago with Jedi Academy. Refine that a bit with modern tech, and give us a huge and lovingly crafted world to explore, and that would be the best game of the decade.

The sword fighting in that game was awesome. I spent many a night in duel servers in that game.

A Star Wars game with design like Arkham City may actually be very very interesting. Perhaps that's what Star Wars 1313 could have been - an open world in level 1313, controlling a bounty hunter with various gadgets like Batman.

Making the right noises EA, but Imma wait and see what you actually produce before getting hyped ;)

What if they make a game as awesome as the Arkham Asylum/City games?

If EA were able to craft any game to the degree of quality that Rocksteady is capable of, I'd be very upset because I refuse to buy their products. Luckily, it's not going to happen, so keep dreaming Mr. Wilson. Just having EA talking positively about Rocksteady has me nervous. Keep your fucking paws off of them, you ruin everything you touch EA.
