Why am I seeing so many remastered Star Wars games coming out? First Battlefront 1 & 2 and now this? I mean, I'm not mad and definitely excited. Just confused because I thought EA and Disney had exclusive rights when it came to the Star Wars games, or was I wrong?
Also do Dark Forces 2 next that game is my jam.
SW JK: DFII was my first online multiplayer experience. I remember the first map I found, was a big pit thing that had a castle like entrance at the bottom of the pit that I think turned into a casino. Great times trying to figure out how to play that on my dad's work Sony Viao laptop with DSL.
Iirc EA lost the exclusive game rights after Battlefront 2 (2017).
That's also why Ubisoft is making an open-world star wars game
More specifically disney didnt renew thd deal, and the deal runs out here soon.
I hate EA as much as the next guy... But I think I'd rather have them make a Star Wars game over Ubisoft
Higher profit on low investment + moderate returns, makes sense to ship them non stop. Higher investment projects could mean more profit but it also means higher risks.
