Star Wars Eclipse. I can not believe there is no thread here on this.

Its a new Star wars game. It looks amazing. I had no idea what it was at first honestly. I actually thought it was a new film at first.

The game studio involved last made a game called Detroit Become Human.

It was a real choose your own tale type story with a wide range of paths possible to get through and lots of different endings ranging from feel good to feel miserable to downright dark and horrifying... and everything in between.

I'd say they could bring a lot to the Star Wars universe with that approach. People playing light ending up Jedi (or beyond) maybe or people playing Dark ending up Sith (again or beyond) etc

What platform was this game you speak of on? I might try it. It sounds good.

All of em by now I think. First released to XBox and Playstation but released on PC a while after that.

I know we only saw cinematic scenes but it looks lovely.

Hoping to see a lit of new designs and few new ships.

there seems to be a galactic conflict and as far as I know High Republic is also about an interstellar war - but in the Prequels didn’t Palpatine say he wouldn’t be the first Chancellor in 1,000 to lead the Republuc to war?

From their official site there is still no announcement of which platforms this will run on

Seems likely it will drop on PS/Xbox/PC. It doesn't look as though what they're gunning for will be capable on the Switch.

I'm willing to safely bet that the graphics will not be as jaw dropping as the pre-rendered trailer but I will assume they're trying to aim for an are able to achieve even better photorealism and cinematic emulation as they were for other titles like Jedi: Fallen Order, which can achieve striking realism on a high end gaming system. Fallen Order would be the bare minimum expectation in terms of quality, which shares many resemblances to Star Citizen etc. in terms of visual fidelity and attention to detail.

Count me as interested if it's not a console exclusive.

I think the detroit game must've been a hog for resources and developer time and that's the closest I can understand their delay to bringing it to PC. Seemed like XBox and PS were the ones they could get it going on earliest... or .. if I'm being honest.. probably it was their best chance to make money.. then they could devote developer time/money to bring it to PC.

Now what disney/star wars can bring to that table .. I dunno... but I have the impression they don't get heavily involved in the developer side of the games.. that they leave that up to the companies. I wonder does ILM ever help out the companies or even if they could be compatible.
