Star Wars FPS

Carth_Onassi1973

Who do I have to lobby to, to make a Star Wars FPS a thing? (Not the abomination that was Jedi Academy)

Think about it...Bethesda taking on Star Wars. A Skyrim style of Star Wars. Jedi, Sith, bounty hunter, smuggler, warrior/trooper, and all the story lines would advance said character. Also, add in a little KOTOR where the decisions you make determine LS/DS?

What say you, bretheren!

You mean open world? FPS is first person shooter like battlefront

Carth_Onassi1973

No not like battle front.

Like Skyrim.

Carth_Onassi1973

Where you can wander around and donnithing until you hit either a plot point or farming point for resources.

Battlefront is very cool but more linear than Skyrim.

I know. Skyrim is not a FPS. Its an open world RPG

Carth_Onassi1973

skyrim is not an rpg, at leat from what I've experience and I've been playing it for years.

But, we'll agree to disagree on that.

Bottom line: how cool would it be to have a immersive Star Wars game like Skyrim?

At first I thought donnithing was some Medieval word I didn't know, like a synonym to gallivanting or something.

I agree it would be fun.

The Elder Scroll series are considered the pinnacle of RPGs by most people.

RPGs:
KOTOR
Elder Scrolls

FPSs:
Battlefront
COD

Carth_Onassi1973

Look, I don't care what you all say. I've played Skyrim till the cows come home.

BOTTOMM LINE: it would be cool

Stop with the semantics

Ouchie

Star Wars The Old Republic is an excellent RPG. They were thinking of making some open world servers at some point, but I don't know if they did.

DatBoi

We can only hope the KOTOR remake/sequel/remaster rumors are true

Carth_Onassi1973

@DatBoi @Ouchie

We can only hope. However, that would shut this game down. No money in that.

That wouldn't "shut this game down". This is a mobile game that you can play for 5 minutes at a time, not a console/pc game. Different markets

Haha someone got it right elder scrolls (Not just skyrim) have been around since to ms dos age. And pretty amazing if it wasn't for kids and this game Id be immersed in the vvardenfell. (Yeah id probably didn't spell it right)

Carth_Onassi1973

@DatBoi meant it figuratively. I know it wouldn't get shut down. Completely different.

It would definitely take my time away from this one though, for sure.

@Carth_Onassi1973 - I get what you mean. Skyrim was a lighter RPG, less of the obvious turn-based stuff, more focused on the action. I think that's what you're driving at. Some people (myself included) show our age and when someone says "RPG", think of Lord British, Ultima, Baldur's Gate etc ;-)

All the Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast etc were pretty linear.

Something that played like Skyrim but with different Star Wars planets etc would be very cool.

Carth_Onassi1973

@KyleKatarn exactly. I didn't articulate it very well explaining it originally because I don't look at oblivion and Skyrim as rpg games, even though they technically are.

But absolutely, that would be fantastic!

Carth_Onassi1973

That's why I fell in love with KOTOR, and then this game. This reminds me of KOTOR but without the storyline. Just battles.

ah geez, Baldur's Gate... so many hours.
Since we're pinging the nostalgia that hard, I won't ever forget my first love, Quest for Glory (series).

Carth_Onassi1973

Baldur's Gate was cool. Never played quest for glory or lord British.

NeverWinter Nights was a lot of fun too.

@Ouchie do you play it? I never got into it because the computers I've had at the time of its initial launch were never powerful enough to run it. How is it?

Ouchie

It's very good and terribly addictive. I played the beta and then played from launch for a while. But I'm never at my computer to play. Haven't played in a few years.

Carth_Onassi1973

Maybe I'll check it out on the free play just to dabble.

Said the same thing about this game too, a year and a half ago.

WesTerallo

Yah swtor was pretty awesome when it came out mostly cause it was Star Wars but it didn't evolve and people stopped playing and that makes an MMO worse. Huttball was some of the best pvp I've seen in a decade.

You can have loads of fun as an f2p on SWTOR, so definitely give it a try. There are 8 classes to play, and each one has a pretty good story, though some are better than others (p.s. Imperial Agent is the best!). And you can do all those stories to the end for free. It's not even hard to level or gear or anything. And paying for a one month subscription unlocks all previous content. Just make sure to pick a good server.

@J7Luke
@WesTerallo

Thanks gang! Great info. I'll check it out.

I m not @Ouchie but...
I m playing it these days and it is very good, significantly better than when it launched in 2012. But totally different combat mechanics than Elder Scrolls, it is more like a classic MMORPG.
I would love to see a game in the line of Elder Scrolls Online but with Star Wars skins.

Carth_Onassi1973

@Iceih_SWG

YES! If you ever see a
Merger between Bethesda and Disney or Lucas arts (if it hasn't happened already), that to me would speak volumes that an ES type of Star Wars game is coming.
