Never thought I'd ever say something like that, Since Ive been an Enourmous Star Wars Fan Since Birth, but recently thats how I've been feeling about a lot of the Upcoming Star Wars titled Games.

It must be due to My disappointment from the Last 3 movies, and I havnt Played a Decent Star Wars Game since Jedi Oucast and KOTOR .

Force Unleashed was okay - but thats all I feel is worth describing it. The second Chapter I feel, may be just more of the Same.

The New MMO seems like it Might be worth taking a look at - but if its anything like Galaxies - Then I think I'll be done with Star Wars forever.

Any of you beginning to feel the same way? That the Star Wars franchise is starting to get Worn out ?

TBH, I think the MMO isn't needed, KOTOR3 would of suited me happily, TFU is nice, I had fun with it, the second one is a day one buy for me. The best movie was number IV, IMO, I agree that Star wars is running thin on ideas/wearing themselves out.

Galaxies was awesome when it first came out.... and knowing BioWare's track record, I can't wait for The Old Republic. I actually enjoyed TFU, I don't know what people were expecting but I liked the action/graphics and simple but effective story...

Well I am both a star wars fan in games as well as the lore so no even if all the star wars games turn out to be horrible I will still read the books and stuff unless of course that is ruined too.

Really? You have played both right? Jedi knight you can jump alot farther, your lightsaber seems more realistic not just a bat. Force powers are cool in force unleashed but you can't jump as high, jedi vs sith/jedi vs jedi battles look soooo stupid. In jedi knight jedi academy or jedi outcast jedi fights looked soooo much better and more epic.

I felt they were both really fun (yes, I've played the Jedi Knights). Jumping further can easily be fixed on the next game.... the guy in Force didn't need to jump further cause he could just destroy everything. Lightsaber felt the same to me in both games, you can't expect it to just kill on first touch....

I personally favored Jedi Outcast more than Force unleashed. Especially since it offered a Fist Person View. Felt like you were actually weilding a lightsaber - atleast moreso than in Unleashed . . Also seemed like Outcast had more controll over force powers. . .

I wish they would change Star Wars Galaxies to how it was when it first started, there hasn't been another MMORPG like that, I would subscribe in a heartbeat.

How many Star Wars games have there been since KOTOR? I'm thinking only 2. Just don't play the crummy games and then you shouldn't get burned out on Star Wars games.

I am tired of crappy Star Wars games, not Star Wars itself though. I love Star Wars through and through and always will.

Oh wow that's a lot. I thought some of them were out before KOTOR, I forgot about EaW and never heard of a couple.. Still, I think my plan about not playing the crummy ones stands. :)

U're absolutely right. As I said though - I have been such a Fanof the Franchise for a long time , and was blindly picking up S-W titles and ended up disappointed a few times. Til now it seems like LucasArts is Running teh franchise to the ground.

Not Quite as Bad as Star Trek - but getting Extremely close.

I am not talking 1 hit kill. I am talking in freedom and what it looked like. Lightsaber battles = 100000000 times better in jedi outcast or jedi academy. Much more intense, fun to watch rather then the bland boring it is in TFU. Dunno how you can say it feels the same it makes me question if you have played both or just trolling...

The Star Wars theme will never get tired. Having said that, I agree, Star Wars games need to stop taking the cheap route out and using John William's score, often to lousy result. Score your own damn music. KOTOR had a fantastic score.

Especially if u entered the Limbs Code that Basically allow the StormTroopers or whatever Enemy Characters to be Chopped into Tiny Pieces by the Saber !! Classic

Oh - and I personally Feel that teh Sabers in Either Game are completely different. As i recently Posted, In Jedi Outcast - U could choose a First Person view that gave a much more Realistic feel of weilding the Lightsaber, Unlike TFU where u watched the back of StarGoobers Head the entire Game.

Quite different..

I want to see what happens after apisode 6, not before 4! The rebuilding of a republic, the formation of the jedi and chasing down the remanants of the empire. There has to be a good story to squeeze out of that. We have seen loads of the clone wars, and even more pre-clone wars stories.

TFU would of been a much better game IF
- The made the lightsaber more powerfull, and not a baton out of Futurama. (Metal Gear Solid: Rising has more slicing than TFU)
- The controls were easier,I could just never get things to go in the right direction or target the right thing. It was all very clunky.

The stroy of TFU was better than any recent film by a long way though, so that kept me playing.

I agree, there have been plenty of Books already published about it. But they're not "Lucas's" stories so appearantly they dont count? Which I personally would Take Anyone else's story and vision for those books over the Abomination that George came up with in 1,2&3 .

About that TFU/JK discussion:

I don't know if you have played much, but in JK you can do a lot more moves, change saber styles, freedom of force powers(you can combine), freedom of saber swinging. While TFU is just consolised, hit a bunch of buttons in a correct order and make a combo.And TFU was pretty easy overall. I don't know if you've played multiplayer, but I currently am and you'd be suprised how much skill it takes.

Now, I'm not saying TFU is bad, in fact it's good(besides being a crappy port), but it's just no match for a JK game.

I wonder how JK with a new engine and physics will look like, but I guess we'll never know :P

Ummm yes we can expect that, there was more skill envolved in jedi knight, there was more variety, amazing online, force unleashed is a casual console centric hack n slash based off start wars. I have a feeling aswell its going to the be the same case with ToR .... a casual version of galaxies that just doesnt measure up.

Well I'm not sure if they're still developing it or not but Star Wars Battlefront III may be coming out and a year ago, gameplay footage was leaked, although Free Radical lost the rights to develop it now, so I'm not sure if it'll come out or not.

And yes, we need a new f***ing Jedi Knights game, it's been too damn long. Force Unleashed does not justify that.

Yes, but ToR will make it awesome again. The new movies are beyond bad, possibly the worst failures in movie making history.

The only Star Wars let down I have had was really the forced unleashed... (and galaxies but I didn't get to try it until like a year or so ago)

I still love me some Star Wars.. I am really looking forward to The Old Republic, its the MMO I am looking forward to most, along with the Secret World, and Torchlight.

It's not so much as i'm getting tired of Star Wars but in my case, it's mainly that they are releasing games that i simply don't give much of a rats ass about. Give me a KOTOR game in Mass Effect style graphics anyday or better yet, give me a Battlefront 3 game using the same engine that the Force Unleashed game uses.

I just re-subbed Galaxies about a month or two ago and I'm having a blast again in it. Yeah it really doesn't fit in the time line anymore, yeah the NGE ruined quite a bit but they have made some effort by providing a lot of high end group content that really wasn't there in the beginning days outside of the Deathwatch Bunker to camp for jetpack parts.

All the people thinking The Old Republic is going to replace the Galaxies are going to be very disappointed at Galaxies still relies heavily on the community to play there game. You really can't solo much like you used to be able too and all the crafting that goes on in that game still destroys any game out there that tries to have a complex system.

No, I don't think the THEME is getting tired, it's just that the games these days suck. Jedi Outcast is one of those pinnacles of gaming for me.. it was just so.. amazing. KotOR was right up there as well. TFU wasn't very entertaining at all, and the new MMO looks terrible. It might be worth checking out for the co-op style gameplay mode and such, but its generic MMO combat down to a T. You have your tank, off-tank, healer, DPS. I was thinkin they could have at least tried something NEW with the Star Wars franchise, and Bioware was the last company I was expecting to use the same tired old MMO mechanics.

Maybe it's been so long since I played the last Jedi Knight that I feel the lightsaber gameplay is similar to Force.... I would have to go back and play it again to see I guess... And no, I never troll thank you very much....
